AN: Its been forever since I posted anything! Here's just a really short Yuri on Ice one shot that I wrote in about twenty minutes because I'm pretty sure that show has destroyed me. I hope to be posting more *fingers crossed*

Grey

This world is monochrome, black and white... just like piano keys. That's what this world looks like to me. I've heard somewhere that when you fall in love you finally see the world in color. All of a sudden, it somehow has a different kind of sparkle that just wasn't there before. But I'm not the kind of person that something like that happens to. But maybe...just maybe...someone will come along and change all that. That is the only hope I have; So that I can keep smiling...without wanting to cry out from the pain.

It had been years since I had seen Viktor. He was so beautiful... but not in the physical way like most people would assume, though he was also very beautiful. What I fell in love with was his spark. With just one glance... I knew...my world would never be the same again. He was the like spring after a long cold winter; when you think that there would be no end to the cold dreary gray skies. With the dead trees that are like silhouettes against a pure white background, Viktor was like the first leaf on the tree; just the small splash of color in this otherwise cold, empty world.

However, just as soon as I saw him in that colorful world... Viktor soon disappeared.

Just like that, my world that had been so full of color was suddenly gone and I thrown back into the apathetic grey that I had come to know as reality. I went through my days like they meant nothing. I didn't think about what tomorrow would bring, what my plans for the future were. I went to practice and then I came home. I had come to hate skating and being around people exhausted me so much that I slowly lost contact with all of my friends. I hated this town that I lived in. But there was no point of running away from this place. I knew that the grey would follow me...and Viktor wouldn't be there. He wouldn't be anywhere except in my memory of that day.

I knew that I couldn't keep going like this. I slowly felt like I was in a dark hole, watching the other people pass by me. They were always smiling and laughing. Some of them were crying. Their cries pierced the cold, still air yet no one glanced their way. As for me... the more I cried out for the people to save me from this hole the farther I sank. The hole eventually filled with water and turned into an ocean...and I sank deeper and deeper. At first, fear coiled its hands around my neck and made me cry out for help. But when I did, the water came rushing in, silencing my words.

That's when I saw it. Just a small sparkle at first, but then it grew. It pushed the grey back, like a mother brushes their child's tears away. There Viktor was...smiling. But something was wrong. He wasn't here... not in this world. He beckoned me to follow him. My whole body felt sluggish, like I hadn't moved in years. However, I refused to let him leave me behind. For the first time in forever, I felt like fighting. I screamed out in rage as I fought my way to the surface, my lungs burning for air. My face broke the surface of the water and I took in a breath. The water had all disappeared and I was standing in a cold sterilized room. Someone very old lay in a hospital bed, eyes closed, with a peaceful smile on his face.

"Well? Are you coming?" Viktor asked with a small smile.

I turned to see the person that I had been waiting for for a very long time. I took Viktor's hand and we left this cold, grey world and walked into the dazzling warm light of this new world... and this time we would be together...forever...
