This takes place 2 weeks after the events of vat7k fyi.
Varian and his hugo were walking down the streets of the town center. Taking in the sights and smells adjusting to life without the constant traveling. The two were walking to monty’s and attila when they bashed in to some one
. “ oh my word i am so sorry we didn’t mea-” Varian was cut off when he realized who it was. “ ew what are you doing here surely you’ve got a castle to overthrow. I don't understand how the royal family forgave you if it was me you'd be dead or rotting in prison by now.”
The ginger shoe maker kept on rambling about his…distaste to the royal engineer. Hugo watching this situation slowly started to feel a rage in his chest. Doing the only rational thing he lifted thy ginger up by the collar and spoke “ oi get his name out of your mouth this instant or i’ll give you a reason to ya hear”
Varian got the horrifying impression his boyfriend was about to commit a murder. In an attempt to calm down the rapidly increasing situation Varian spoke. “ uh why dont we all just.. Ugh forget it hugo come here now we’re leaving. I’m not wasting my time with this” hugo releasing that if he did murrder this guy would face jail time..again thought he better comply with his boyfriend.
Hugo dropped the shoe maker and walked off with Varian. All hopes and dreams of his bagel out the window.

Later that day the two were talking with yong and nuru. “ Well I'm glad Hugo didn't murder this guy but he sounds like a prick.” Nuru spoke without looking up from her letter. “ it be a hassle if i had to deal with a mopey Varian and a sad yong. A girl can only handle so much.”
“Aww it’s nice to know you care nuru” nuru looked up unimpressed before returning to her letter.
Young who wasn’t paying that much attention spoke up. “ why don’t we blow his house up, that could be fun” nuru hearing this stopped what she was doing to look at yong. “ You will not do such a thing, you hear me. I will take those explosives if you even dream of it.” yong knowing he would not win mumbled “ yes nuru i wont explode his house.”
The group went back to talking about their days.

Later that night Hugo and Varian were talking in their room. “ ya know sparky’s got a point that dude deserves his house reduced to ashes.” Varian looked up at this boyfriend “i’m not setting his house alight pretty boy. I can’t be bothered, he's always been like that. I can’t exactly blame him, I did try to overthrow the kingdom twice.” Varian looked away feeling ashamed of his past actions. Hugo, noticing his boyfriend's shame, grabbed Varian's hand.
“ hay varian that was in the past. The king and queen forgave you, rupunzle forgave you. You were acting out of desperation. Any one with a decent head can see that. You tried to make things right, that's all someone can do.” varian looked at his boyfriend and mumbled “I guess you're right” before yawing and falling asleep. Hugo got up from their bed and snuck out the room walking towards a certain pyromaniac’s room.
Upon arrival Hugo knocked and waited. He heard some commotion before a half asleep yong answered. “ Hugo, what do you want? I’m trying to sleep.” Hugo laughed at the younger boy. Yong now awake angrily spoke. “ What are you laughing at?”
Hugo calmed himself down “ sorry fire cracker but your pj's are on backwards” yong looked down “ oh shit your right hang on a second” yong shut the door before opening it a couple minutes later “sorry about that. What did you want?”
“Are you still up for lighting this guy's house down?”
Yong developed the most devious smile hugo had ever seen. “ you betcha i am lets go”
……………………………………………………………………………….
The pair found themselves in the streets of old corona using the cover of night to hide from any guards on duty.
“ ok whats the plan hugo the shoe shop is up ahead but so is a guard”
Hugo operating with the skills he’d spent his whole life with went in to auto piolet
“ leave that part to me”
hugo walked up to the guard while yong hid in the shadows of the lane.
“ hello sir it’s a lovely night isn’t” the guard who fashioned a mustache looked at hugo then the sky.
“ You're so right, the stars are lovely. I was thinking of taking my boyfriend out to see them.”
Hugo seasing the opportunity spoke
“ how about you go do that i’m more than happy to fill in for you. I happen to be good friends with the captain of the guard you know. Me and him go way back.”
The guard thought for a moment before saying
“ Thank you so much I missed my other half and if you know Eugene it sounds official enough to me.” The guard ran off looking far too happy.
Hugo walked back over to yong
“ all clear sparky we shouldn't face another problem” yong looked ta hugo with admiration
“ how did you do that and are you actually friends with the captain of the guard?”
Hugo scoffed . “ me friends with flyn rider absolutely not he knows what he did” the two cared on walking until they arrived that the shop
“ right sparky do your thing”
Yong grabbed his supplies and set up around the house. yong worked with a concentration that was admirable. Before too long Yong was done and stood back admiring his work.
“ Right, that should do it. I've doused the walls in gasoline and set up my supplies now to stand back while I set this house on fire.”
The dark haired boy set the shop alight and the two watched it light up and the flames engulf it. Yong couldn’t help but watch the dazzling gold and crimson flames dance together in a waltz of destruction. the way the flames grew higher and higher worlking together to in case the shop in bright lights.
The two boys ran back to the castle feeling overjoyed at their hard work. no one would ever know who set the shop alight and they will never know ether.
