Hello eveyone! Welcome to the 5th day of the YOIMYTHWEEK ( @yoimythologyweek ) !!!
I decided to combine both prompts because I believe they worked better together. Small story time, this is the first time that I actually cry while writing, so, with mistakes and all, I do hope you guys can feel why I tried to express here.
Without futher ado, enjoy!
Day 3: Reincarnation and Immortality
Day 5: Star-crossed lovers.
(Or 5 times where their love wasn’t strong enough, and 1 time where it was)
It wasn’t a secret for the courts of both countries that Prince Katsuki and Prince Nikiforov were more than just friends. They visited the homeland of the other often. They spent hours in each other’s company, and at night, they shared a room
Even their families knew they were lovers, and they allowed them, as long as they didn’t forget their obligations with their respective crowns
Therefore, when the Emperor announced that his youngest son would get married to a European princess, Yuuri bowed his head, hiding the evident sadness in his eyes
A few weeks later, when Yuuri broke the news to Victor, the Russian prince paled. “Yuuri, your father has no right…
“He is the Emperor, Victor. He can do what he pleases, as long as the country is safe.
“War hasn’t been kind, and he needs allies.
“Then marry me,” Victor offered without a second thought, “ Yes, marry me. Russia is his best option. We have the weapons, an army, and we’re expanding our trades with other countries of Europe.
Yuuri shook his head, sniffing, “I already suggested it. He thought I was going mad, and then he said if he ever wanted to form an alliance with your country, he would send Mari to you.” Yuuri felt powerless, and Victor did the only thing he could think of at that moment, he brought him closer, kissing his lips softly. “I promise you now, whatever happens in the future, you won’t go through it alone.
