Work Text:
It was a cool summer evening, the wind was blowing a soft, cool breeze, and people were settling in for the night, others were staying up late watching movies with their loved ones, Yuuri was one of these people. he was in his apartment with Victor, cuddling with movies playing on mute in the background. It was now 11:00 in the afternoon and Yuuri was already asleep. Victor was just about to fall asleep as well when all of a sudden he heard a loud noise coming from the living room.
“Yuuri,”
he gently tapped Yuuri's shoulder.
“Did you hear that..?”
he whispered to the now awake-but-sleepy Yuuri. Yuuri yawned and looked at Victor.
“hear what..?”
Yuuri asked as he stretched himself awake.
“That loud noise..it sounded like it came from the living room..”
Victor had a bit of panic in his voice, Yuuri yawned again and sat up.
“No,” he said with a scratchy voice “I didn't hear much, though I did hear a faint thud a little bit ago”
Suddenly someone burst down the door and held out a gun. Yuuri was pulled out of his spot on the bed and was being held back by a large man in an all black outfit and ski mask, he tried screaming to victor for help but his mouth was covered by the large man's gloved hand, and all that came out was a muffled scream. Victor was frozen in fear and shock, who were these people?! What were they gonna do to Yuuri?! Hundreds of thoughts were racing through his mind, he opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was a small whimper.
The man spoke:
“MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE AND I'LL KILL YOUR BELOVED BOYFRIEND, YOU WILL LET US TAKE EVERYTHING IF YOU WANT HIM TO LIVE!”
the man pressed a gun up to Yuuri's head
“and you.”
he said while staring at Yuuri.
“You better not try anything funny or I'll kill both of you.”
Yuuri was so scared his skin had turned a shade of white, Victor dared not move as he knew what would happen if he was so much as breathe wrong. The man shouted again:
“ALRIGHT,” he said. “TAKE EVERYTHING OF VALUE, LAPTOPS, THE TV, MONEY”
a group of three men came rushing in and started putting everything in large black bags, they stole everything while both Yuuri and victor were frozen in fear of what might happen if they tried anything.
A few minutes later the thieves had taken everything they found of slight value and all that was left was a pillows and blankets on the bed and some books and plushies that Yuuri had bought the day before, the man released Yuuri and threw him to the ground, then turned around and ran away with the others, laughing as they jumped into their van and drove away. Victor quickly got off of the bed after he knew they weren't coming back and helped the crying Yuuri onto his feet.
“Shhh...it's ok..”
he whispered as he gently picked him up. Victor sat Yuuri down on the bed and hugged him tightly.
“I’ll call the cops tomorrow,” he told him. “For now, let's try to settle down alright..?”
he knew it was a silly thing to say, to tell yuuri to calm down after what just happened, but it was hard for him to think of anything else. They were both quite shaken from the sudden break in and it would take a while for them to feel safe again, especially considering that they don't have anything to help, as the thieves had taken their phones as well. Victor would have to ask his neighbors to call.
The next morning, Victor knocked on his neighbors door and waited for a reply, nothing happened. He knocked again
“Hello?”
he called out
“may i please borrow your phone? It's a bit of an emergency.”
he waited again, still no one answered. He decided that he would walk to the police station instead. Yuuri was in bed, still shaken up. Victor had given him a cup of hot cocoa and a warm blanket to help him feel better. After Victor had tried knocking on a few more doors, he decided to walk to the police station instead, he walked back inside and went to tell Yuuri.
“Yuuri?”
he asked as he entered the room. Yuuri looked over at him with a relaxed expression, he seemed like he was doing better.
“Is it ok if i leave you here for a bit? No one is answering their doors, and I feel like it would be quicker to just drive there then have to wait for them to come back.”
he asked, sitting down next to yuuri, who was sipping on his hot cocoa. He looked at victor with a sad look.
”do you have to go? I don't want to be here alone..”
he told him. “I know yuuri,” he hugged him. “Would you feel safer if I let you come with me?” yuuri seemed to brighten up when he said that. He nodded. “Mhm!” He hugged Victor back and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Alright,” Victor said, smiling at him. “Follow me then.”
he said, helping yuuri up from the bed. Soon they were outside and walking towards the car. Yuuri looked back at their apartment and saw a tall, skinny, figure hiding behind the corner of the wall. Yuuri couldnt see who it was, as the darkness of the night and shadows were hiding them. He got scared and walked closer to Victor and hugged him from behind.
“What's wrong yuuri?”
Victor asked as he turned his head back to look at him.
“vitya…” yuuri whined. “There's..someone watching us..i saw someone..”
he whispered to victor. Victor looked at yuuri.
“What…?”
Victor felt a shiver down his spine when Yuuri said that.
“Do you know where they were? Or are you just scared?”
he asked, as he started walking faster to their car. Yuri nodded
“Mhm…”
yuuri whimpered
“over there!”
he pointed at where the figure had been standing. It was gone
Victor stared in confusion at the dark corner and looked back at yuuri
“I don't see anything hun. Maybe you're just still scared from earlier and are seeing things.”
he softly smiled at Yuuri, but he was secretly panicking on the inside. He quickly dashed into his car and Yuuri was close behind him. He slammed the car door and locked it. Victor tried his best to stay calm, he knew that if he didn't seem calm then it would cause yuuri to freak out more.
“Vitya...i feel like someone is watching us..”
yuuri whispered, with fear in his voice.
“It's alright yuuri, the police station should be only a few minutes away.”
Victor started the ignition and started driving. After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at the police station and quickly got out of the car. They walked to the entrance. Victor knocked on the door with Yuuri pressing himself up against victor's back.
A few moments later, a policeman arrived at the door and greeted them.
“Hello. How can I help you?”
he asked them. Victor spoke.
“hello officer, me and my husband were robbed about an hour or so ago, we’re not sure what they looked like but i know that one of them was a big, muscular, man in all black, there were two other people there and they took almost all of our belongings. Do you think you could look around our area to see if you could find anything?”
he asked.
“I suppose so, do you have anywhere to stay in the meantime? Feel free to stay here if you want.”
