Royal Pain // Victuuri Au

Ch. 9

Yuuri blinked a few times and retraced his steps yet again.

How the hell did he lose a pig? A pig. Something big and pink that literally waddles.

Speaking of which.

"Waddles!" He called out softly, hoping for the life of him that his mother didn't hear and find the pig first.

He continued a few more steps before calling again "Waddles! Come here boy"

He tried whistling, but realized that even after twenty-three years he still had next to no idea how.

"Waddles!"

"Yuuri, what are you shouting about?"

His head snapped up to see a rather sleepy looking Victor poking his head out of his room.

Understandably, it was 10 a.m. on a Sunday.

He offered a shy smile "Sorry, did I wake you?"

(MY FUCKING EARS ARE BURNING WHERES THE BLEACH OH MY GOD I WAS JUST INNOCENTLY WRITING AND ALL I HEAR IS MY PARENTS IN THE BATHROOM "YOU WNAT TO GET IN HERE WITH ME?" mY DAD IS IN THE SHOWER "I CAN SET IT ON COLD AND WE CAN MAKE IT HOT" kILL mE PLEASE wITH AN AXE TO THE FACE iM TRAUMATIZED)

"I needed to be up anyways." And with that he walked out of his room to join him, nearly making Yuuri faint. He wasn't wearing a shirt, only some Cookie Monster bed pants, and damn did he have a really nice looking chest.

He swallowed nervously, but Victor took no notice.

"So what exactly are we doing?"

"Well... I kind of, maybe, somehow, lost my pig..."

The boy blinked at him, and Yuuri struggled to watch this action and keep his eyes off the boy's beautiful god-sculpted chest.

"How the hell... you know what, I don't even want to know." He chuckled softly and gave him a heartwarming smile "Cmon, I'll help you look."

But that was easier said than done.

After about an hour Yuuri and Victor sat down against a wall in a hall they had been in at least thirty times.

"How the hell is a pig so hard to find? It's bright, it's pink, it's loud. Are we just stupid?"

Victor sighed "You know, I'm beginning to question both my IQ and my sanity."

Yuuri sighed and patted his friend's leg "Me too, me too."

They sat there for a few minutes in silence.

But it was broken all too soon.

"Yuuri Katsuki."

The prince was on his feet in a flash "Yes, mother?"

"Why the hell is there a pig in my office?"

He stared at her blankly.

So that's where he went.

"Funny story actually..." he scratched the back of his neck.

"Office, now."

"Yes, mother."

The woman marched off and Yuuri offered Victor an apologetic smile before darting after her.

Was she really this angry about a pig? Cute little Waddles? How could anyone stay mad at such an adorably little piggy? Well, technically she wasn't mad at the pig, she was mad at Yuuri, so he could then understand a little bit... but still, he couldn't help it that his pig had decided to make a run for it!

Almost as soon as the office door shut did Yuuri start pleading for mercy "I'm so so so so so so sorry!"

But if his mother heard him she sure didn't show it. He hated that damn poker face sometimes. Or, well, 90% of the time actually.

"Yuuri..."

"Mom, I swear it'll never happen again. I'm sorry!" He squeaked slightly clasping his hands together as he watched her go around her desk and sit down, facing Yuuri "I really didn't mean for it to happen, I was just feeding him and then all of the sudden he bolted, and-"

"Yuuri."

He hated it when she said his name like that. The mixture of exhaustion and frustration in her voice made him feel... deflated. Almost like when she was disappointed in him except not quite.

"I'm sorry, okay? It'll never happen again, I-"

"Yuuri, that's not why you're here."

He stared at her blankly.

"Wait what?"
