starring: viktor nikiforov and human!makkachin
disclaimer: i do not own any of the characters. headcanon/s may or may not be mine, but the rightful owners will always be given credit. i only own the plot (except if i've taken a reference--the rightful owner will still be given credit).
heads-up: these one shots may or may not be unedited. if unedited, i will edit it when i have time. all grammatical errors and spelling errors will be corrected by then.
IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKKACHIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MALE, YES, I KNOW THAT. THE REASON WHY I, MAKKACHIN'S ADMIN, MADE HIM A GIRL IS BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED ROLE-PLAYING AS MAKKACHIN I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHETHER OR NOT MAKKACHIN IS A GUY. SO YES, BASICALLY ASSUMED HIS GENDER. CANONICALLY (IS THIS EVEN A WORD) SPEAKING, MAKKACHIN IS A GUY.
other side note: mariya is makkachin's human name. her full name is mariya yekaterina nikiforova (if she's somehow related to viktor) and mariya yekaterina novikova (if she's not), and she's five years younger than viktor. meaning to say that if viktor is 27 (in the anime), mariya is 22.
enjoy.

"i'm heading to bed now." said viktor, a 17-year-old teen who was talking yo his friend, christophe giacometti of switzerland via skype. chris' face showed a slight drop in emotion, but he nodded anyway, "alright." the swiss smiled and nodded. "goodnight, vitya."
viktor smiled at the nickname and nodded as well, "you have a good day, too, chris." and their call ended. with a yawn, the russian walked to the bathroom to take a warm shower before changing into his pyjamas. afterwards, he walked to his bedroom and plopped down on the bed. feeling the soft and cozy bed underneath him, he was lulled and welcomed into a deep slumber.
he dreamt about a mirror. he was in front of the mirror, and suddenly, the object glowed a bright blue color. and then, he felt someone push him to the mirror, and he was swallowed inside it. right after that, he heard voices. they were all calling out to him. and while he was falling down on a void of pitch black, he reached a foreign place.
standing in the middle of the road, he examined the world around him. everything looked extremely... strange. no skyscrapers. no buildings taller than a two-storey house. there were a bunch of houses that stood at the same height, and baker shops that weren't as fancy as those he sees every day.
there was nobody else in the place but he. and the silence was deafening. viktor wanted to wake up, to pinch himself. he wanted to know if this was a dream. before he could pinch his own arm, he heaed footsteps behind him, and a voice saying,
"my, what strange clothing you have there, mister."
and before he could turn to look at the person, everything went black, and he woke up from his slumber.

the next day went by with viktor being invited to a party. even if it was against his will, the teen had no choice but to agree and attend. as soon as he arrived, the first thing he wanted to do was to get away from the drunk guests invited as well. although he was pulled and asked to have a drink or two (which he politely turned down), he managed to get away from the other guests, leading him to a hallway with no one else but him.
wondering where he might be, he unlocked his phone to call one of his men to pick him up but unfortunately, there was no service. groaning at his luck, he decided to check the rooms surrounding the hallway to see if there are any phones he could use.
"...so far, there's none." he told himself after walking out of the 8th door of the same hallway. "all that's left is that door." he looked at the ninth door which is at the end of the hallway. gathering his courage, he carefully walked to the door and twisted the knob open, walking inside.
it was an old library. all the books were covered in dust. viktor walked further inside, it seemed like the room wasn't used for a very long time. the teen felt a weird vibe in the room, and that must be because of the full lenght mirror in the middle of the room. like any other books, the mirror was covered in dust.
viktor walked to the mirror to look at himself. he noticed how long his hair had become and wondered to cut it sometime. as he was pointing out what he should change in his physical appearance, he noticed a glow in the corner of the mirror, and before he could do anything else, he was swallowed inside it.
bright light caused him to wake from the unnecessary slumber he fell into. when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by tall trees looming over him, as if wondering who he might be. birds were chirping because of the lovely morning sun warning their wings as they fly over the earth filled with busy people.
"...where am i?" he asked himself as he sat up. his suit and tie was filled with leaves and a little portion of dirt here and there. did he fall down? if so, then where? he felt a sharp pain struck his head. "...i need to find my men real quick." taking out his cellphone, he realized there was still no service. great. he could just throw his phone away.
he stood from the ground and dusted off the dirt from his clothing as he slid his phone back in his coat pocket. he might as well look for a place to bathe in. luckily, he found a stream nearby and started to strip off his clothes, jumping in the cold yet cool stream water. he washed the dirt off of his long platinum-colored hair. after he took a bath, he realized he had no towel to dry himself. great.
not having any other option, he used his coat as a towel, and quickly dried himself. he put his clothes back on as soon as he was dried so that none would witness him naked. it would ruin his career. he was lucky enough to find a rubber band to tie his hair up. he really needed to get a haircut soon. and after that, he started to walk farther from the stream to look foor someone who might help.
finally, after minutes of walking, he heard distinct chatter and noises of a busy marketplace. he walked more and the noises were nearer. and when he reached the said marketplace, he was surprised to see people wearing fancy dresses.
no, not the modern kind of fancy, but the old kind of fancy. and he saw women in dresses with strange designs and men wearing bright and flashy clothing. they looked... victorian. "do they even speak my language?" viktor asked himself and just then he felt the rubber band snap, causing his hair to loosen up its tie and fall down to his back.
"...i should probably-" before he could turn away, he felt a push behind him, sending him stumbling towards the townspeople. those who saw him stopped tending to their daily routines, jaws slightly dropped and eyes wide. "goodness..."
it wasn't long until people walked over to him to look at his strange features... foreign.
"my, what clothing! so bizarre!" said one woman while coverin her mouth with her fan. "what country did you come from?"
"it is not a type of clothing i've seen before." a man said and looked at his coat and slacks. "and what's with your hair? women aren't supposed to wear men's clothing! wear a dress. a dress, you must wear!"
the teen started to feel rarher uncomfortable. he was surrounded by people who never even knew he was not from their world—or time. he tried to squeeze himself out and luckily, he managed to do so successfully. he found himself running towards a town. he halted his run to gasp for air and when he finally caught his breath, he noticed that the town was kind of... isolated.
unlike any other towns, this one had not much people outside their houses. they didn't seem to give him attention, either. they were just... staring at him. no words, no approach. they were just looking. "...huh."
"my, what strange clothing you have there, mister." he slightly flinched at the sudden voice behind her. he turned around to see a little girl with a plain brown dress. she had a white ribbon on her brown and curly hair. her skin was a pale brown and it matched her brown eyes.
"..ah, and who might you be, little one?" she asked and bent down to her level. the girl smiled, revealing a missing front tooth.
"i'm mariya!"
