My Hero:Victuuri

Chapter 14: A Connection

Once Vicktor had been checked, Phichit had ordered him to rest in their infirmary with Yurio and JJ while they searched for the villains. He had fought the idea until his side, though fully healed and closed, sent a surge of pain throughout his body. After that, Phichit had left, Vicktor let out a groan of frustration. Yurio and his boyfriend turned towards the silver-haired man as the blonde said, "You've been sighing for hours now. I know, but until we're fully recovered we won't be any help." Vicktor let out a sigh, one less harsh than the others before, and told him, "i just can't help but feel like I should have done more." Yurio felt his blood boil as he sat up and angrily exclaimed, "Don't say that! It wasn't all your fault, you idiot! If anything-" He was cut off as Vicktor shouted back, "I made a promise, Yurio! I swore to protect him and I let him get taken by them!" Yurio let go of his boyfriend's hand and shouted, "You didn't LET them do ANYTHING!" Vicktor flinched as the blonde said, slightly calmer, "If you want to play the blame game, I was more at fault than you. I was right there and I lost so Yuuri had to save me." Letting out a sigh, the older male sighed again as he quietly told them, "I let that scorpion-jerk get me angry. He said that they were involved in killing our teachers and they were going to steal Yuuri. I wasn't thinking and now I can't help feeling that if I had just ignored him, Yuuri wouldn't have gotten taken." Yurio's gaze softened as he said, "Go to sleep. The sooner we recover, the sooner we find Yuuri." The older hero nodded as he turned away from the couple and mumbled, "Good night."

As sleep pulled him deeper into its comforting embrace, Vicktor found himself sensing a familiar presence nearby in the familiar dark landscape. Confused, he walked towards it. The closer he got to the presence the more clearly he heard soft crying. He found that the noise got louder as he approached and sounded familiar. He furrowed his brow as he whispered, "Yuuri? Is that you?" He began to run towards the crying that was turning into loud sobbing. It was not long before he found himself in the place Yuuri had entered his dream, except it was raining hard and the sky was dark. The green hill looked nowhere near as vibrant as last time and the tree on top was swaying sadly. Beneath the branches was a figure that was curled in on itself. Instantly, Vicktor ran towards the huddled person and saw raven locks. Vicktor kneeled as he gently asked, "Yuuri? What's wrong?" The male looked up, confirming Vicktor's suspicions, with teary brown eyes.

Yuuri looked confused as his eyes met with his lover's. He held out his hands and trembled as they made their way towards Vicktor's face. The silver-haired hero was also bewildered by Yuuri's trembling until the smaller of the two asked, "Is this real? You're alive?" Vicktor gently took one of his lover's trembling hands and placed it on the hero's cheek while holding the other hand reassuringly and told him, "I'm alright, Yuuri." New tears sprang to the younger's eyes as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's torso and began to whisper, "You're okay, you're okay." The way he began to chant it was like a mantra. Vicktor returned the embrace and told Yuuri, "You healed me somehow, don't worry you did very well." Yuuri pulled away and looked into Vicktor's sapphire eyes as he exclaimed, "But I didn't even get to try and heal you!" Vicktor pulled his lover back to his chest as he asked, "Can you hear my heartbeat?" The scared boy nodded as his lover proceeded to tell him, "Your love is what saved me, so don't worry."

Yuuri was about to nod when he felt his stomach knot up as he realized something. His line of sight dropped as he whispered, "They got me." Vicktor could not quite hear his words as he asked, "What was that, Yuuri?" He turned back to Vicktor, panic in his eyes as he said, "They caught me! The villains kidnapped me! What am I going do?" The hero quickly took Yuuri's hands in his own and told him, "I need you to calm down, okay? Now take a few deep breaths and we can talk about this." Yuuri complied as he gradually calmed himself to the point where his boyfriend felt he was well enough to discuss the situation.

As they sat there, the weather had changed. The rain had stopped and the clouds remained, but they were lighter than before. Yuuri looked to his lover with wide eyes as the silver-haired male told him, "As far as we know, Celestino couldn't do this so I'm going to ask a few questions. Can you do this with the others?" Yuuri shook his head negatively as he said, "When I go to sleep, I always know where you are but no one else." Vicktor nodded as he asked, "Do you know where they took you?" Again, Yuuri gave a negative answer as his lover said, "Well, I think I have an idea or something like that." He looked Yuuri in the eyes as he said, "When you wake up, I want you to take in as many details as you can and when you go to sleep try and tell me." Yuuri nodded, hesitating slightly. Vicktor noticed as he soothingly stroked Yuuri's hair and whispered, "I know your afraid but this is our best chance at finding you, okay my little piggy?" Yuuri agreed as his boyfriend placed a kiss on his lips. Yuuri melted into the kiss; it was the sweetest thing Yuuri had felt, aside from his other kisses with Vicktor. The hero smiled as they pulled apart and told Yuuri, "I have to go now, but I will be waiting for you Yuuri."
