Work Text:
Fyodor is not sure when it all got out of hand.
He and Nikolai had a mission, or rather Fyodor had a mission and Nikolai was just going along as reinforcement in case something went wrong.
The Russian hoped he wouldn't have to depend on the jester.
At first he planned to take Ivan or one of his rats with him, but Nikolai offered to go with him.
And the Ukrainian, once he made up his mind to do something, insisted to the end.
So, after insisting for two weeks, Fyodor agreed to go with him on the condition that he would behave himself.
Now he might regret everything.
It all started when he arrived at the agreed meeting place with his " associate", obviously it was a betrayal and they had to catch the man and get as much information out of him as possible.
He didn't count on the fact that the man was accompanied by three accomplices and that one of them would cast a spell on him....
It was all very fast. Not even Nikolai could react.
Fyodor had closed his eyes the moment he received the attack, he was waiting for his ability to activate.
Nikolai would know his true ability (a drawback to his plan), but it was nothing Fyodor couldn't adapt to.
However, he was surprised to find himself in another place when he opened his eyes.
It looked like a matrimonial room, everything was tidy and smelled of cinnamon.
Where was he? What is this place?
Perhaps, that man's ability was teleportation.
No.
It wasn't that.
Fyodor walked over to a calendar that was on the desk in the room.
It was different, it was from a few years later and the objects in the room were different.
It had to be something bigger.
First he would have to investigate the house and gather more information about where he was.
He opened the door carefully, trying not to make any noise in case there was someone in the house.
Outside the room was dark and there was no sound to indicate that anyone was in the house.
Well, that was until he approached the living room and heard some murmuring.
"You're affectionate today, my darling."
Wait a minute, he knew that voice.
Fyodor walked over to the door to take a look and confirm his theory.
Nothing had prepared him enough to find a version of himself in his pajamas sitting on Nikolai's lap just about to kiss the jester.
Surprise? Disgust? Confusion?
Even Fyodor couldn't put into words the whirlwind of emotions he felt at that moment.
His moment of confusion did not allow him to think clearly before he revealed his presence to the two figures in the room.
- Who are you?
Fyodor's question came out so cold that it startled the two men in the room.
- What? -The "Fyodor" looked at him with a frown.
- Omg! Two Fedyas!
Nikolai looked at him ecstatically and moved slightly away from the Fyodor next to him (much to his chagrin).
- Who are you and why are you the same as me?
Fyodor looked at his other self who finally moved away from Nikolai and approached him.
- I must ask you that, you are in our house and in our room.
- This Fedya wears a ushanka, how adorable!
- I'm not adorable! / He's not adorable!
shouted the two Fyodors at the same time.
Nikolai laughed in amusement at the situation.
- I think God fulfilled my dream of having two Fedyas.
- This is serious Kolya, maybe he is trying to impersonate me.
- Impersonate you? Don't make fun of me, I don't need to impersonate anyone.
- And how do you explain this phenomenon? - Fedya asked pointing at him and the other Fyodor.
- An ability user attacked me.
- Ability? What are you talking about now, fake me?
Fyodor looked confused at his other self, so there are no abilities here.
Well, just seeing Nikolai and his other self dressed in pajamas and acting normally was already strange.
That only left him with a few options, and the one he was most inclined to go with was that he had been teleported to another dimension.
That will be a problem. A serious problem, but surely that man's powerful ability must have an Achilles' heel, something Fyodor can tap into and be able to get out of here.
First, he needs to talk to his self and Nikolai's self from this universe.
- Fedya look! Your other self also has a habit of chewing his nails.
- Why do you live together?
- Why would I give you private information about me?
- Technically I am your other dimensional self and I demand to know what stupid thing I did in this life.
- Why would I believe you?
- So how do you explain that I'm here and I'm identical to you?
- He's right, dear. Besides, it's you, but with a ushanka and a strange suit.
- My costume is not strange.
The Fyodor of this dimension sighed and leaned against Nikolai.
- I'll let him stay, but I'll keep a close eye on him.
- You still haven't told me why you live together.
The white-haired man moved away from the Fyodor of this dimension and jumped close to him with a maniacal grin.
- We are married.
Nikolai pointed to the ring on his ring finger.
Fyodor looked at them both in surprise.
- With this clown? Fyodor, you could have done better.
- Hey! Besides interrupting my good morning kiss, you insult my husband.
- Never mind Fedya, I also wore a clown costume during my college years.
- No way, tell me you didn't fall in love with him in a clown suit.
Fyodor looked at him blushing.
- This will be the end of me, the only thing that consoles me is that the Nikolai of my dimension will never know this.
- Oooh, what am I like in your dimension, am I just as unique and amazing?
- I would add that you are annoying and childish.
- How cruel you are Fedya! Just like my other Fedya.
- Stop it Kolya, don't call him Fedya.
Fyodor watched as the self from this dimension discussed with Nikolai.
The Ukrainian ignored the other Fyodor's complaints and approached him again.
- Do you want to marry me Fedya from another dimension?
- Nikolai! You are already married to me.
- I was just joking, Fedya. Fedya?
Fedya from this dimension got up silently and left the room.
- Fedya, don't be angry with me! I only want you.
Nikolai ran after the other Fyodor.
- I must find a way out of here. I refuse to live with the two of them forever.
︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿
- I made the soup the way you like it, Fedya!
Nikolai served the food on the table.
The two Fyodors watched him attentively (each for different reasons).
The Fyodor of this dimension because he loved his husband and the other Fyodor to prevent him from putting poison in the soup (customs with the other Nikolai cannot be changed).
- Enjoy!
The three began to eat in silence, neither of the two Fyodor did not speak.
Nikolai decided to speak to fill the silence of the room.
- And tell us Fedya, how are you with me in the other dimension?
Fyodor thought about Nikolai's question.
He couldn't tell them that they are terrorists, that Nikolai wants to kill him and that they were both crazy.
- Well, Nikolai says that I am the key to his freedom.
- How poetic! And you're not dating or anything?
- Of course not, I haven't stooped that low yet.
- Shut up, you're making me tired.
- I wasn't talking to you, so shut up.
- That's enough Fedyas, I don't want any fights at the table.
Nikolai tried to lighten the atmosphere with a smirk.
- Kolya, how long does he have to stay?
Fyodor looked at his husband, tired and annoyed by the guest who had not been invited in the first place.
- It's not that I want to stay, you know I want to leave too.
The two Fyodors of different dimensions looked at each other with hatred.
- I'm done, I'm going to the room to work.
The Fyodor of this universe got up without giving Nikolai a chance to speak.
- What a personality, my goodness.
- Well, you're just like him.
Fyodor looked at him in annoyance.
- I don't act so immature.
The Russian sighed as he continued to take in everything about this dimension.
- How is it possible that this future exists, Nikolai and me, is it possible?
Nikolai looked at him in amusement, put down his plate and moved his chair closer to Fyodor's chair.
- You know I like to achieve the impossible.
- You are the same Nikolai, in this universe and in the other.
They remained silent for a few minutes.
- Sometimes we discuss, but that's what a marriage is like, but it doesn't change that I love Fedya.
Fyodor saw the genuineness of Nikolai's words and thought, is it possible that Nikolai and he can understand each other?
- I-
- Fedya! Your hands!
Nikolai shouted causing the Fyodor of this dimension to run out of the room in alarm.
- What's going on?
Fedya watched as his other self's hands disappeared.
- Am I disappearing?
Or maybe, he would return to his dimension.
- I think he's going back to where he belongs.
Nikolai was still worried despite his husband's words.
- For once I agree with you, I will surely return to my dimension.
- Don't forget about us, Fedya!
Even worried, the Ukrainian still kept his humor.
- I doubt that I will be able to forget this.
︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿
Everything went black.
When he opened his eyes he was on the floor of a warehouse.
The same warehouse where he was attacked.
- Fedya! I was so worried!
Nikolai appeared at his side with his usual theatricality.
Next to him was the man who attacked him gagged on the floor.
- I had to use many tricks to get him to reverse his ability.
Fyodor who was still disoriented looked at Nikolai still lost.
He and Nikolai in another universe are married.
- Get away from me.
- What the-
