The land above - Yuri on ice AU

Chapter 8 (Bargaining)

Yura's POV

He pulls me to his cave and we wait in silence for Seung and Vitya, when they arrive he tosses me and Vitya into the cell again and makes the ice door appear with teasingly small gaps. 

"I want you to hear" he laughs before he swims off. 

"I'm sorry Yura, for everything" 

"It's okay, you tried" I sigh, I just don't have it in me right now to be angry at him.

"I won't let him keep you." 

I look up and see him more furious than I have ever seen him. 

"Boys?" A deep voice travels in the cave.

"Yakov!" we yell together.

"How did you know we were here?" I ask. 

"I was invited" he growls at J-J. 

He planned this all. 

"So good of you to come Yakov" 

"Cut the crap Jean- Jacques, give me my boys back" 

"It's been so long, don't you want to have a chat? No? Okay well all I want is your kingdom" he pulls out a contract "Give me your kingdom and I will give you Viktor"

Yakov seems calm considering the circumstances. 

"What about my Yura? My kingdom for my Vitya and my Yura." 

He does care about me, I can't help a little smile. 

"Oh, I can't do that, you see it's mine and Yura's wedding today. No king is good without his partner." 

Oh he should not have said that... it's Yakov's sore spot, Yakov growls. 

"No deal, you will not have my Yura" 

"I think you mean my Yura!" J-J snaps back. "Yakov, I will make sure Viktor will suffer every second here with me but Yura will be treated well." 

Yakov shows more emotion than I have ever seen on his face, I can tell he is thinking hard about this. 

After a few minutes of silence J-J snaps obviously impatient, he melts a hole in the ice and wraps a tentacle around Vitya. He pulls Vitya out before replacing the ice in front of me, J-J grabs a vial of what looks like poison and brings it to Vitya's lips. 

"I'll do it Yakov" 

"Vitya!" Yakov cries. 

The terror on their faces snaps me out of it. 

"Do it Yakov! Don't worry about me!" I yell, I can't let Vitya die, not after everything we have been through. 

Perhaps together Yakov and Vitya can save me one day. 

Yakov looks at me sadly before using his magic to sign the contract, the crown on Yakov's head disappears and then reappears on J-J. 

Seeing my families crown on his head fills me with rage, I will kill him for this. 

J-J lets go of Vitya and points at Yakov and Vitya turning them to humans. 

"And stay out!" J-J yells as Vitya grabs Yakov and pulls him out. 

The ice wall in front of me melts away and fear sets in as I swim as far back in the cell as I can. 

"My Yura" J-J smirks at me "I always get what I want" 

He yanks me out of the cell by my wrists and pulls me towards a weird arch with coral around it. 

"Seung?" 

Seung swims out from the shadows and flips a book open with his tail. 

"Jean- Jacques Leroy, do you take Yura Nikiforov to be your husband?" 

"I do" 

What? So soon... Marriage? I try to pull away but he holds me tight and puts a ring on my finger. 

"Don't try to remove it my love, if you do then it will tighten" 

I lower my head in despair, if I was on land I would have tears. 

"Do you Yura Nikiforov, take Jean- Jacques Leroy to be your husband?" 

No no no no no no I open my mouth to say just that. 

"Say you do Yura, don't think that I won't still kill Viktor or even the Prince's adviser" 

I gasp, but I don't doubt that. 

"Yes, I-I do" 

I will never forgive myself for saying that. Ever. 

"I now pronounce you husbands" 

"Yay took you long enough!" J-J yells before pulling me close to kiss me, his slimy disgusting lips are so much worse than Otabek's. I can't believe this is happening, he pulls away with a huge smirk on his face. 

Something has been eating at me... 

"Why did you let me and Vitya go to land? You would never let me go even if Vitya won" 

He chuckles and touches my face. 

"For fun" 

"You bastard!" 

I try to attack him but he easily holds me back while laughing. 

"My feisty little Yura, that's why I love you"
