Ice prince: A Yuri on ice fan fiction

Chapter 8: The Ball.

The morning of the ball arrived and the whole castle was buzzing with excitement. Everyone was preparing for the event, except Victor and Yurio who are in Victor room. They had been trying to figure out where the gem was an how to get it and get out. The last few days have passed in a blur and Victor had tried everything he could think of. All the while Yurio had been trying to convince him to leave and take the young prince with him because he still did not know how to tell Victor what he had discover in the prince room. 

"I think my best bet is to convince Yuri to give me the gem somehow." Said Victor pacing in a circle. Yurio thought that he could see a burn pattern on the floor from his pacing. 

"How will you convince him? You have been avoiding the past few days. I Highly doubt he hasn't noticed." Replied Yurio as he laid on the bed messing with his nails. 

"I...I don't know. I'll have to get creative." Said Victor finally stopping to look at Yurio. 

"You could always tell him how you feel, that might get him to trust you enough." Yurio now looking directly at Victor, waiting to see what his reply might be. 

"Do you think that could really work?" Asked Victor.

"Doesn't hurt to try. Anyway I have somewhere I need to be." Replied Yurio has he moved to sit up and jump off the bed. He started heading for the door when Victor quickly moved to stand in front of him.

"Where are you going?" Victor looked down at his young companion and wait for his reply. 

"None of your business." Yurio said has he pushed passed him and exited the room. Once he left the room he made his way through the halls of the castle away from the prying eyes of everyone. He had made is way to the garden to find Otabek standing there waiting for him. What no one knew was that he and Yurio had been  meeting every time Victor meet with Yuri. They young men had talked and became close in the last few weeks. 

"Yura." Otabek said with a smile and an ease that made Yurio blush. Otabek moved from where he was standing to stand right in front of Yurio. 

"Beka, sorry I'm late." Yurio look into the other man's eyes causing the blush on his cheeks to darken. 

"Not a problem, I don't mind waiting for you." Otabek smile was bigger now and all the more radiant. "So, have you remembered anything else?" Over the last few week Yurio has been remembering thing about his life before the slave ship and he memories all seemed to be about this place and this kingdom. 

"Not really but I do think that I come from this place." said Yurio has he started walking down a near by path. "And I think I remember a boy." Otabek moved to walked next to him. The two of them walked and talked for a while longer. Then Otabek stopped and pick a near by rose. Bending down he placed the rose in Yurio hair, pushing back his bangs revealing both his eyes. 

"B...Beka?" Asked Yurio who blush returned to his face in a second. Otabek didn't answer him however, he simply bent and placed a kiss on his lips. 

"I love your eyes, the eyes of a soldiers." Otabek finally said when he pulled away from Yurio who was now blushing so much, that you would think that red was his natural color. "Unfortunately, we need to get ready for the ball. I'll walk you back." Yurio couldn't find any words to say so he simply walked next to Otabek who grab his hand and held it the whole way back. 

After a few hours the ball was beginning and everyone was gathering in the ballroom. The ballroom was all decorated in shades of blue and silver. The whole room had a feeling of a winter wonderland. Victor and Yurio where stand close to the thrones and waited for the royal family. Once everyone that was invited had arrived the whole room went quiet and turn towards the four thrones. 

"Presenting His Majesty, the King. Her Majesty, the Queen. Her Highness, Princess Mari. And his Highness Prince Yuri." Phichit announced standing next to the thrones. The royal family walked in the order they where announced, then they took their seats and the whole room bowed to them. 

"Let the ball commence." Announced the King with a big smile on his face. In that moment music erupted and the party was now in full swing. There was people dancing and eating, everyone seem to be having fun. Except prince Yuri, Victor noticed that the prince look bored. And that the Prince was dressed in blue coat and matching cape, with white pants and shoes. He topped the whole look with a silver crown that has blue gems. He was dressed the opposite in a black coat and trousers with pink detailing. Victor moved to stand in front of Yuri throne and caught the Prince's attention. 

"Prince Yuri may I have this dance?" Victor said with a bow and extending one hand forward in his direction. Yuri face suddenly brightens at the sight. 

"Of course." Yuri replied while getting up from his spot to accept the other man hand. Once he accepted Victor hand he was swept into his arms and they moved along to the song being played. Yuri laid his head on Victor's shoulder and closed his eyes.         

"Yuri there is something I need to tell you." Whispered Victor into Yuri's ear. This caused Yuri to left his head and look at Victor's face. "Yuri, I love you. I know we just meet but I know somewhere inside me that you and I are meant to be." 

"I... Love you too." Said Yuri, who was now smiling. The two men continued to dance in silence. Once the song ended they stopped and looked at each other. Yurio who had been watching the two men for the last few minutes, finally decided he need to tell Victor what he learned in the prince's room. So, he walked up to Victor and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Victor can I speak to you for a minute?" Yurio said.

"Sure, give me a minute Yuri." Replied Victor, giving Yuri a quick kiss on his cheek. He and Victor walked into a quiet corner. "What do you need?" 

"There is something I need to tell you about the Prince." Said Yurio looking down at the floor. 

"What is it Yurio?" Asked Victor who now had a serious look on his face. 

"There isn't a gem. It's the prince he has the power to control ice and snow. I read it in his journal." Yurio said finally looking up. But before he or Victor could say anything more the doors the the ballroom busted open and all hell broke loose.
