Fell In Love With Death - Yuri!!! On Ice fanfic

Chapter 9: Just be yourself, damn it!

Viktor's POV

"There's something the Death God didn't told you." Leo said, then looked at us straight in the eyes. "The Legendary Grim Reaper must be a human." He said.

"Huh?" we said. "What do you mean - "

"What I meant..." he said. "The Legendary Grim Reaper...is a living human." He said. "Who suffered death before he became a human again." He said.

Our eyes went wide with shock. "Hey... that can't be..." I said, can't believe what I just heard.

"It could." Leo said. "That's why he's Legendary. Coz he's human, suffered death, and became human again." He said.

"What..." Morooka - san said, shocked as I am. "So you mean to say... the Legendary Reaper...will die?" he said.

My eyes went wide. I looked at Leo. He nodded. "Yes." He said.

"Oh, God." I said as I collapsed.

"Viktor!" they said and caught me. "Are you alright - ?"

I shook my head. They helped me sit on the chair. "I..." I said, then looked at Morooka - san. "Is this what you meant by we can't be together -?"

He shook his head. "No. it's not." He said.

My eyes wide. "Is there more that I have to know - ?!"

He nodded. "All that I know is... Yakov - sama told me..." he said. "Those who get close with the Legendary Reaper... will suffer death, too." he said.

My mouth fell open with shock. I looked at Leo. He nodded. "What..." I said. "What the heck! I thought this Legendary thingy is something so great deal, and knowing that Yuuri is also a Grim Reaper - " I said, panting. "Yuuri as Grim Reaper is okay, but for him to be the Legendary Grim Reaper after knowing all this..." I said, my tears falling.

"Viktor..." they said while rubbing my back to calm me down.

"This is...*sob this is all...* sob my fault. *sob." I said.

"Calm down, Vik." We turned. "Yakov - sama already said this isn't your fault." Chris said.

"But..." I said, sobbing. "If I haven't met Yuuri - "

"If you haven't met him, then you wouldn't have a reason to live this life." He said. I sobbed. "You're not complaining about this job and this life anymore, nowadays, because you met him, and known him as who he is." Chris said.

"Chris..." I said, sobbing. "You're really nice - "

"Though I still can't accept him to be a Grim Reaper, much less the Legendary one." he said.

I grimaced. "You're not nice at all." I said, then smiled. "Still, you accept him as who he is." I said.

"Anything but a human and Grim Reaper." He said.

We laughed. "Thanks, Chris." I said.

"You're welcome." He said. "I'm your best friend, after all." He said.

We all smiled.

Yuuri's POV

I watched them as they laugh together. "Must be nice with them..." I muttered and closed the curtain. I looked at the scythe in my hand. "I wonder if this could - " I said, then looked at the wall. "Yosh. There's no harm in trying." I said and walked towards the wall.

Chris' POV

"Rogue." We turned, and saw Georgi standing at the door. "You have a visitor.' He said.
