Chapter 3
As much as Victor hates not being able to work with Yuuri in the same division anymore, watching him thrive in his new unit is a gift in itself. Sure, getting used to the whole wings thing was challenging for both of them Victor won’t deny that, but once they found a balance it ended up being okay.
Although, his one dislike about this whole situation is that he no longer gets to see as much of his husband as would like. When he first got his wings it was training session after training session but that was understandable he needed to learn to use the tool he was now forever stuck with. So when Yuuri finally got the hang of flying and using his power it came as a surprise that he was sent on mission after mission.
Victor didn’t want to say anything because the look on Yuuri’s face when he came home and saw him was nothing but a huge smile and his love would wrap his arms tight around him, taking him in as if they had been apart for eternity. Usually if the mood was right, they would make love right then and there. They had already serenaded each room so he could no longer use that as an excuse to make love to his husband. Sure It took some time to get around Yuuri's wings and the fact that they had to change positions frequently so that his wings wouldn’t get squished but Victor was always sure to remind his husband that practice made perfect.
So it wasn’t all bad even if he had to watch Yuuri choke down a bag of sugar everyday.
It’s what you do for love.
——————-
Today was a day that Victor along with Sara and Mila never used to look forward to until recently, they got to do a combined mission and tour with one of the supernatural units and it just turned out that it was yuuri's unit. Despite Sara and Mila not being as close to Yuuri as Victor, they did really miss him as they are still one big family even though they no longer really work together.
“Vitya let’s go, we’re going to be lateee” Yuuri dragged on from the front door, foot tapping in-patiently against the floorboards. Yuuri knew this day was very important to Victor as he would get to see where Yuuri worked as well as get to meet all of new his friends and boss, but how long did that man need to spend fixing his hair in the mirror.
“Honey, I can assure you that your hair is fine, let’s just…”
“Go…yes we can go now, but do I look okay is my hair okay, my outfit?” Victor asked pleadaly looking at his husband for answers. Despite Victor only having one outfit option-his uniform.
“Everything looks amazing just like you. Don’t be so nervous, they're not going to bite you, just be the Vitya I love”. And with that Yuuri pulled him in for a kiss, said goodbye to makkachin, grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door making sure to lock it behind them both.
It was an interesting switch, Yuuri thought. Usually it was him that was all anxious and wanting to crawl in a hole but holding one of Victor's sweaty hands while the other clung into the steering wheel like a life force. It made him wonder has Victor changed or is it him that’s changed? He thought as he watched the landscape pass by out the window. He was gently running his thumb up and down his husband's hand only allowing him to pull away when need be. It was something that his husband had always done if he were ever anxious and it calmed him, so maybe he could return the favor.

Victor followed the GPS right up to the parking lot of the building. He couldn’t believe it, no way was this place where Yuuri worked. Victor's unit hadn’t worked with a supernatural unit in a long time so everything he remembered lays waste in his mind.
For starters the building had to be at least double the size of the office where he was stationed. It looked from the outside like it had to be about 100 levels, the fully glass exterior somehow made the building look expensive rather than tacky with what looked like white trim bordering each window pane. The building was much like the size of a hospital with the entrance being surrounded by all types of plants and trees brightening up the place. What kind of place was this he thought to himself.
“Vitya you okay? Your mouth is hanging open a bit.” Yuuri said while he tried to stifle a laugh at the look on his husband's face.
Although he too understood the shock, when he first came here he was absolutely dreading it. But seeing the building and the interior made coming to work a little less shit. Plus the people there were surprisingly kind. He later found out after much snooping that the reason that the building was so top of the range was because all the major supernatural units have offices in this one place except for the General, she had an office in the government towers. That reason and the fact that apparently the government was slightly scared that if people with literal superpowers had a shit place to work they would storm the government square or something stupid like that.
“Vitya you can keep drooling inside, but first we need to get inside.” Yuuri looked at him with his arms crossed, as funny as this was, he already knew that this was going to be a long day and they weren’t even in the building yet.
“Oh yes right, my love.” Victor sucked in a deep breath in order to compose himself. And with that, Yuuri was finally able to get his butt through the door.
___________
Both Yuuri and Victor caught up with Mila and Sara in the entrance as well as his old work mates. It was nice saying hello to his old unit even if some did look at him funny because of his wings. Although, by being in this place he’s learnt to brush off those stares because here, he was utterly normal. Not even the swap looking guy on level four scared anyone and that guy has got yellow eyes, scaly skin and razor sharp teeth. He is basically a ‘scary’ character straight out of a children’s book.
“So, Yuuri, if you come here everyday why don’t you show us around?” Mila asked a bit impatiently, wanting to get the tour started already. As her and everyone in the unit was waiting in the foyer to be shown around.
Some people perked up at her question, eager to finally get a scope of the building.
“I wouldn’t really know what to show you guys. Plus I don’t spend a lot of time on other floors.” Yuuri said with a shrug just as the tour guide entered and pulled out their megaphone, which is a little dramatic considering there’s only max 12 people in the unit.
“Good morning unit 132 we are all pleased to have you here and show you guys how the supernatural units work. My name is Isla York and although I am an armored officer I will be giving you guys the tour of our lovely building. But first are there any questions?”
One guy in the back of the foyer raised his hand and was called upon. Everyone’s eyes turn to him.
“If you work here, why do you look so normal? I mean you don’t have any weird shit like Katsuki got going on, over there.” The guy said jerking his thumb in Yuuris general direction.
The room fell silent, no one dared to speak up, frankly Victor couldn’t believe what he was hearing. That guys has always been a dick but what the fuck did he just say about his beautiful husband. Fuck that, he was going to go over and beat the shit out of him till that fucker gets down on his hand and knees and begs for his loves forgiveness, if and only then he will be let free.
But just as Victor was about to give him a piece of his mind a hand gently grabbed his shoulder. He looked back only to see the hand belonging to his husband, who had a slight smile on his face while shaking his head.
Yuuri pulled his firecracker of a husband closer and whispered in his ear “he’s not worth it”. With that just as quick as it came the tension in Victor's shoulders dropped as he leaned into his husbands touch.
After the shock of that guy's comment had worn off, Isla spoke up. “What is your name?” She commanded.
“Officer Ben Chambers, ma’am”. The guy said without a falter.
“Well Mr Chambers” Isla said in a narcissistic tone “those kinds of comments are not accepted here nor anywhere for that matter. And just because I do not have any defining characteristic of my ability does not mean you can be a dick to those who do. So you better watch yourself because I would hate to file an incident report if you were to go missing in a large building such as this one because unfortunately it has happened before”. Taking a long breath she continued “Now with that out of the way I am sure you all know your place here so let’s get on with the tour.” Isla announced, clapping her hands together to signal everyone to move.
“Hey Yuuri” Sara asked while they all began walking, Ben somewhere trailing behind everyone. “Is it true people go missing here?”.
“Not really I mean, but their body usually gets found within a couple of days. So I wouldn’t say "missing.” Yuuri said nonchalantly with a shrug as they all walked.
Victor, Mila and Sara’s step faltered a bit at this comment but their pace was quickly picked up again. They were professionals, a threat like that should not scare them, Sara silently thought.
“Right…but is that chick normal?” Mila asked curiously not knowing if she’s overstepping her boundaries.
“Nope, she’s a vampire. It’s just not as noticeable as say, like my wings. She’s nice though and won’t eat unless you guys do something to piss her off of course.” Yuuri clarified with a smirk.
“Huh” All three of them say in unison, shocked at what they just heard.
Yuuri says with a laugh “the look on your faces, priceless. Although I’m kidding…sort of.” But before anyone can ask for further clarification an announcement is made.
“Alright unit 132, we have arrived at our first destination. One of the computer rooms.” Isla says as she opens the door. “This is the place where soldiers who go out in the field collect data on or for their mission. It’s a boring room but it’s highly useful.”
The room was located on the ground floor although it wasn’t large it wasn't small either. Inside the room layed rows and rows of tables with top of the line computers at each desk. Flat screen tvs cover nearly every inch of the walls illuminating the room with its blue light. There’s a lack of natural light in the room but the strip of lights that run along the floor provided enough light to see the entire room despite there being no windows.
“You guys are welcome to go look at the computers and explore this room a little bit before we move on, just don’t break anything.” Isla said to the group.
Everyone slowly flooded through the door in excitement ready to explore top of the range equipment but both Yuuri and Isla stayed back watching from afar what looked like little children playing on a new iPad they got from Santa.
“You okay” Isla spoke up first, filling the comfortable silence between them.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Yuuri confirmed. “you and I both know that I’ve heard worse…what about you, are you okay?”
“Yeah” Isla said, sliding a hand down her face “it’s just people like that, that really grind my gears.”
“He is a dick that’s for sure”
“Yeah, on another note though …the guy with the white hair, the one that looked like he was going to go all murderous on our dear friend Ben. Is that Mr hubby?” Isla asked, raising her eyebrows up and down in a suggestive manner.
“Oh shut up…but yes that is Mr hubby, although don’t let him hear you calling his hair white he will kill you.” Yuuri giggled as realized what he said in the last part of his sentence.
Isla soon joined in on the giggling after catching on, which turned into both of them full blown clutching their stomachs for air. Causing everyone in the room to slowly glance their way.
Victor too looked over and watched them as the both looked like they were going to explode from laughter.
He noticed how happy his husband looked despite Bitchy Ben's comment earlier. Maybe Yuuri getting wings and changing units was for the best as even though it hurt he looked happy and more sure of himself…
