The Connection//*DISCONTINUED*

Chapter seven

Hello hello fam how are you all today? Mad at me? That is to be expected. Just keep reading the story, I'll have to reveal the secret sometime.

Viktor's POV

I pace around the room, restlessly waiting for Yuuri to come home. He probably didn't think I would noticed, did he. Well, I did. How were his cuts all stitched up? They certainly weren't yesterday, I can tell you that for sure. Images of blood seeping out of Yuuri's cuts fill my head, and I cringe. Ugh, I can't bear to see my Yuuri all hurt like that.

I shake these thoughts from mind and force myself to calm down and stop pacing. Okay, calm down. He's probably just not used to going grocery shopping with anybody else, that's the only reason he went alone. I still can't help but feel he's up to something. I mean, he got a text and seconds later he said he needed to go to the store! Like, what's up with that?!

I force myself to take long, deep breaths. I lean forward, placing my elbows on my knees, and start rubbing the bridge of my nose. I need to trust him. He is my soulmate, after all. He can't be hiding that much of a secret from me, if he's even hiding one at all.

Yuuri's POV

"Hunk, you need to be more careful. You can't just rip your stitches every time and expect me to redo them." I gently scold my friend.

"What about you? Those aren't the stitches you were given yesterday. You wrap them up in a different gauze than Shiro does. Shouldn't you be careful, too?" I sigh, and rub the back oft neck with my thumb and pointer finger, a habit at I have formed over the years.

"This was different. There was someone in my house, and I didn't know who it was. I couldn't let them know that I get hurt like this often. So, I ripped them out and pretended to be woozy and out of it. Turns out, it was Viktor." Hunk gasps, and covers his mouth with his hand.

"Oh my goodness, what did you tell him? He must have been really worried."

"He was, believe me. He told me that I needed a hospital immediately. I told him that I just tripped and fell, but he obviously didn't believe me. I went to my room and immediately redid my stitches, then went to bed. When I woke up, I completely forgot he was at my house."

"Where did you say you were going so that you would be able to come to my house without suspicion?"

"I told him I was going to the store. He obviously wanted to go with me, but I told him that I don't like grocery shoping with other people. Hunk, I.....I'm scared. I don't want to lose him."

Tears start to collect in the corner of my eyes, and Hunk hugs me comfortingly. I hug him back and start crying into his shoulder. Hunk starts whispering calming words into my ear.

"I c-can't stand t-to see a-another person I-I love die again, Hunk! I-I just can't! I love h-him, so, so much, more than he knows. I-I need him to stay a-alive!" I say, my lip shaking and my breath coming out in uneven gasps.

"Shhh, I know Yuuri. We have all gone through this, but its especially hard for you, considering what happened to your dad. But, you need to stay strong. Viktor is your soulmate, and I know he would never willingly let you go. But, I understand why you don't want to tell him. Just follow your heart, do what it wants you to."

His words, make me cry even harder, but it feels good. I didn't know how much I needed this. Thank God for my wonderful group, and all of the people in it. But, I still have one little question nagging me constantly.

"Hunk, w-why us? Why did we have to be like this? I n-never asked for this stupid kind of life!" Hunk pulled away, surprised by my sudden outburst. But, he pulled me back into another hug, and started rubbing my back.

"Yuuri, I know that you didn't ask for this, none of is did. But, we have to stay strong, all of us. I know that its hard for you right now, but we need your help, especially with how frequent their attacks are becoming."

I stand up and wipe my eyes on my shirtsleeve, and give a sad smile to Hunk.

"Thank you Hunk. I don't know what I would do without you." I turn around and silently walk out of Hunk's house. The last time I cried like that was when my dad......never mind. I have to go to the store to make my excuse seem real. Ugh, why do I have to be the first in the group to find my soulmate? I have no idea what to do.

Viktor's POV

I have given up trying to be calm. Yuuri has been gone for an hour and a half now. I pace around the room, millions of thoughts running through my head. What could have happened to Yuuri? He said he just went to get groceries, but it could take anyone this long to hey groceries, right? What if he got into a car crash? The sound of the door opening shook me out of my thoughts, and a very dejected looking Yuuri walks through the door.

I run up to him and envelope him in a comforting hug, expecting him to hug me back and tell me what's been bugging him. Instead, he lightly pushes me away and goes to put the groceries away. The corners of my mouth turn down into a frown. I open my mouth to say somrthing, but Yuuri cuts me off.

"Do you love me Viktor? With all of your heart?"

"O-of course Yuuri! I love you with all of my heart, and soul!"

"Viktor, before I say what I am thinking, just known that I love you. I love you as much as you love me, probably even more. So, that's why I have to do this." I give him a confused look. I step forward and reach for his hand, but he walks away and avoids my gaze."

"I-I.......I think you should stay away from me."

I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry guys I really am. I had no idea,this chapter would go like this. I was just as surprised as you are right now. Here come all of the comments yelling at me for this. Please don't kill me. Don't worry, it will get better, just trust me. Bye fam. Stay sad, but not too sad.
