It Never Ended With A Smile.

Emergency Trip.

Once the shock of his realization settled, Smiley went upstairs to take a nap. He just couldn't believe that he might've killed Victor. Keep in mind that both Victor and Liam looked the exact same and Smiley had trouble telling them apart. He instantly fell asleep and Helena came to check up on him every few minutes. At one point in his nap, Smiley had a dream of George. Of how he stuck up for Smiley and how he wanted to help him. And then he remembered how he murdered George. The poor man only wanted to help but instead was met with an awful execution. After those flashbacks of the days prior, Smiley's dream focused on Victor. During this time, the dreams only focused on the good things in their relationship. Like going skiing, celebrating Smiley's 18th birthday together, making fun of each other for the way they pronounced "croissant", and Smiley's constant bullying of Victor's Russian accent. Oh how Smiley missed Victor. Wait no. This isn't supposed to be like this. It isn't supposed to end like this...right? He actually missed Victor. Soon, Smiley woke up, and he had a plan.

"HELENA! WHERE ARE YOU?" Smiley screamed. Helena ran upstairs to the room where Smiley was staying.

"What's wrong, honey?" she asked.

"I need your help with something. Do you have enough money for a plane ticket to Russia? I need to tell a guy something." Smiley asked. Helena tilted her head in confusion. "Listen, I need to go to Russia really bad." Smiley told her.

"I understand that, sweetie. But isn't that dangerous?" she seemed really concerned.

"Yes! Yes, it very much is! But Victor told me to go get a thing for him! And I can't disobey him...I'll get punished for it! Just please, pay for this one thing. I'll-Ill repay you however you want me to!" Smiley expressed.

"Honey...Victor isn't here anymore. He can't boss you around if he isn't here. You know that as well as I do." Helena whispered as if she didn't want Smiley to hear that.

"I know! I know. But I promised him I would get this one thing for him. I can't break that promise. Even if he isn't here." Smiley muttered. He couldn't bare to think that the man who had given him a reason to live was gone.

"Darling...do you miss him?" Helena asked. That "Darling" was the last straw for the boy. He immediately fell to the ground in tears. Helena ran to him to comfort him.

"It's okay..."

He instantly latching onto Helena, hugging her tight.

"Here. I'll pay for the trip, if you still want to go." Helena whispered in his ear. Smiley looked at her and nodded.

"Thank you." he whispered back. The next, Smiley boarded a plane heading for Moscow. From there he would travel to Sochi by car. Six hours later, he was in Moscow. He decided to go ahead and drive to Sochi. Even though it was a 20 hour drive. In the early hours of the day, Smiley met up with Hades in Victor's childhood home. He handed Smiley the package and told him to walk outside because someone was waiting for him. Once outside, Smiley saw him. He was alive. He was there, in person. Smiley soon ran up to him and hugged him from behind.

"Hm?" he turned around to see Smiley attached like a leech to him.

"You're alive! You're actually alive..." Smiley said.

"Yes I am. How was your time without me, love?" he asked.

"I was upset. I thought I killed you! You can ask Helena. She saw. But I missed you so much...Victor." Smiley said.

"I missed you too, darling...and I know what you and Liam did." he whispered into Smiley's ear. Smiley instinctively let go.

"I can explain! I-I was drunk and didn't think about what I was doing! I'm so sorry." Smiley spat out. Victor just smirked. He liked seeing Smiley panic.

"Aw...you're acting as if you owe me an apology..." Victor said.

"I do. Don't I?" Smiley was now confused. One second he and Victor were hugging and the next Smiley went into panic mode.

"No you don't. You're acting as if we were even together in the first place. We are not. You are simply a tool for my success." Victor sneered. Those last words hurt Smiley.

"Really? Is that what I am to you?" Smiley asked quietly. He lowered his head, he didn't want Victor to see that the statement affected him in a bad way.

"Of course not, you are not just a tool to me. I love you. And I will carry you to the end. Remember?" Victor lifted Smiley's head with one finger. Victor smiled. It wasn't that evil smile though, it was a sincere one. One full of apology and love.

"Listen, no matter how badly I treat you just remember that I love you so much, okay?" Victor whispered. And with that they embraced each other and cried tears of happiness.
