From Me To You
Chapter 1 - To My Dearest Yuuri
My dearest Yuuri,
You might be wondering why you suddenly got this written letter from me. I could have just called you and we would be in contact with each other in just a few seconds. However, I didn't and sent you a letter instead. I wanted to write you this letter, Yuuri, now that I am not there with you. I miss you, but I will be back in no time. See this letter as a small Christmas present.
I am still at my parent's house for Christmas ánd my birthday. I am lucky to have both celebrations on one day! My mother made my favorite delicious Russian dishes, I am sure you would love them! But hey, nothing is better than your parents' katsudon! ;) I mean that! She and my father has asked me everything about you, they are eager to meet you. No doubt that they will love you. I won't deny it was difficult to tell them, but now I am relieved everything went well.
Of course I would have loved to be there in Hasetsu, celebrating both Christmas and my birthday with you. It would be our first Christmas together. I do not know about the weather in Japan right now, but here there is more than a meter of snow in Saint Petersburg. It is so incredibly cold, I am not used to it anymore, it seems. Well, I could use a visit to your onsen right now haha! But as I told you before, my parents insisted that I would be back in my hometown to celebrate. I know it has been a long time since I saw them and I did miss them too. It is good and reassuring to see that they are healthy and doing okay.
You know what? This suddenly popped into my head. When I get back, we just celebrate it again. We just pretend it is Christmas eve and make a romantic walk together! And then the next day we can visit your onsen and eat some heavenly-tasting dishes! No training and you can eat whatever you want! I want to see my little piggy eating his delicious katsudon haha! Joke! Joke! I just think it looks so cute!
Now that I am writing, I have so many thoughts in my head. I am just going to write them down as I want you to know about them.
To be honest, I often find myself thinking: Yuuri, what have you done to me? I came to Japan for you after seeing one single video of you ice skating. Through connections I found out where you lived, I booked a flight without thinking about anything else but you. That video was magical, I cannot describe it, Yuuri. I can say now that I fell in love with you that right moment I saw it for the first time. I am so glad I came to Japan, seeing you there and getting to know you has been one of the greatest things in my life, if not the greatest.
You amaze me, Yuuri. Again and again. And I love it. Even though I may sound cliché to say to your lover, I am glad I have you in my life. Thank you for being there, Yuuri.
You have changed me. I have never felt this what I feel for you, Yuuri. I want to be with you and protect you. I want to see you happy and I would do anything to make you feel that way. I realize I do have many shortcomings, as a lover and a coach, but I will do everything I can to work on it. Promise! :)
I do not care what others think, Yuuri. You should try to care less, too. When we are together, we feel like we are on the top of the world. We feel intense happiness and love. We are the only ones who can decide if we are happy. Who are others to tell us how we should we love? Who are they to decide whether we should be together or happy? We ignore them, because you and me make a wonderful pair. Let our love outshine their criticism. It is about us, not about them, my Yuuri.
I will be coming back next Monday, I am sure you have received this letter before then. How do you feel about it? I must admit, it was a rather impulsive action. By mother has been spying behind me to see what I am writing… She has been asking me why I just do not send you a text or call you. Well, I think a written letter is something personal. Besides this letter as a small present, I will bring you a beautiful gift. I already bought it in my hometown and I hope you like it! I want to see your reaction so badly haha!
I will come back to you as soon as I can. Have a wonderful time with you parents and wish them the best.
For now... I love you, Yuuri.
Merry Christmas.
With all my love,
Victor
P.S. Makkachin is not being a bother, I hope? If he is taking your place on the couch, just push him away. Do not let his puppy eyes influence you, he knows how to manipulate! That sneaky dog… haha ;)
Victor sighed and stretched his right hand. He had been absorbed in writing his letter to Yuuri. What would Yuuri think of it? It was something he had never done for anyone. Just sending them a letter because you miss them. The letter felt so personal. He had thought of every sentence before putting them down on the paper. When Yuuri reads it, we have both had it in our hands. The idea made him smile unconsciously.
He folded it and put the letter carefully in a white envelope. What time is it? His eyes widened when he looked at his watch. He had to hurry up or the post office would be closed!
'I am going to the post office, be right back!' Victor spoke in Russian to his mother, who looked up from the recipe book in her hands.
'Be careful honey, it can be slippery.'
'I am a world champion ice skating, mother. I will manage,' Victor joked and put on his warm coat and scarf.
'Still,' his mother spoke and gave him a glance. Victor snorted and winked at her.
'Of course, mother.' With the envelope in his hand, he entered the coldness outside. His mother watched him close the door behind him and then shook her head. She smiled and returned to her exotic dish recipe book.
A letter from me to you, Yuuri, Victor thought and began finding his way through the snow. A certain warmth in his chest made him forget about the cold wind almost blowing him away.
