A Special Place: Surprise!

Yuuri Katsuki and Viktor Nikiforov move in together, a gift between lovers

After the Grand Prix final, Yuuri and Viktor had spent a few weeks separated. Nothing long-term it was simply the two men organizing their lives before Yuuri moved to live with Viktor. Even the word 'excited' was an understatement at the feeling that Viktor was experiencing; he had cleaned the whole house and made room for all of Yuuri's stuff. He told Yuuri that he would make room for a second bed but conveniently 'forgot' to actually do it. Yuuri, on the other hand, was packing and saying good-bye to his family and Hasetsu. While Yuuri could go home at any time it still was an emotional time for the Katsuki's.

Arriving at the airport, Yuuri sighed as the situation hit him. Am I really doing this? Yuuri's smiled at finally seeing Viktor in the flesh in what felt like forever. Taking a seat at the boarding area, Yuuri phoned Viktor.

"Are you ready? Please say you're ready!? I can't wait to see you!" Viktor answered, his voiced blaring over the speaker. Yuuri laughed at the excitement apparent in Viktor's voice.

"I'm at the airport…just about to board my plan actually. Getting pumped for the thirteen hours on a plane…"

"It's not that bad…"

"I'm sure...The plan is boarding. I will see you soon. Love you!"

"Love you more!" Viktor hung up before Yuuri could argue. Shaking his head, and Yuuri walked to the line-up.

Thirteen hours later…

After weeks of waiting, the couple was finally reunited. All of Yuuri's stuff had arrived weeks before and the only thing left to do was unpack but Viktor had a different idea. After convincing the tired Japanese man, Viktor and Yuuri were walking (though to Yuuri it was more Viktor dragging him) through the unusual quiet St. Petersburg. Yuuri was fighting off the jet lag as Viktor pulled him along pointing to landmarks; Viktor was smiling and touching his arm as he showed off his heritage.

"Viktor?" Yuuri questioned the giddy man beside him. Viktor was basically jumping up and down in joy or was that nervousness.

"Yes, Yuuri?" Viktor finally stopped moving.

"Why are we out this early? Don't get me wrong…I do want to sightsee with you! But nothing is open at this hour? Not to mention I just got off a 13-hour plane ride."

Viktor smiled at the tired, flustered man, speaking quickly from nerves "I'm sorry Yuuri, I forgot about the jet lag…it's just that I have been planning a surprise for you since you agreed to move in with me" He grabbed Yuuri hand and continued walking. This place was something that he had never shown to anyone else, not even his family. It was meant to show his absolute devotion to Yuuri and to also show a piece of himself to him.

The two men walked in relative quiet which was highly unusual for Viktor. Yuuri looked at the man to his right worried. What could be this important that it made Viktor quiet? Yuuri's mind was running marathons over the implication when Viktor guided them off the main road. Yuuri's anxiety was started to get the best of him when Viktor squeezed his hand tenderly. Yuuri was thoroughly confused as to where they were going when Viktor finally stopped. Checking his watch, he realized that they had only been walking for twenty minutes. Well that certainly felt longer in my head, I must be super tired, thought Yuuri. He noticed that Viktor was digging in his pocket.

"So where are we going? Why did you stop?" Does he even know where he is? Did he lead us down the wrong road, Yuuri thought. Yuuri sighed at the impulsiveness of his fiancé. That wonderful trait was what made Viktor the star he was and the reason that they met.

"We're here" Viktor was distracted with his pockets as he answered, he was still busy searching his pockets.

Before Yuuri could answer, "Aha! Found it" Viktor lifted his hand from his pocket to show Yuuri a key. Yuuri simply stared for a minute…

"A key? Why would you need a key?" Yuuri's tired brain just couldn't keep up with Viktor's excitement.

Viktor laughed at the confusion, "Yup! Do you trust me?"

Shaking his head tiredly, Yuuri grabbed Viktor's face between his hands, "Of course I trust YOU…it's just that spontaneous things aren't my style. It's your thing to surprise people..." Viktor beamed at the whole-heartedly trust. It was a pleasant surprise to kind someone who trusted someone completely.

"I love you" Viktor kissed him. Yuuri kissed him and blushed. Viktor continued,

"I just wanted to show you something…it's special to me"

"Lead the way"

Stepping away from him, Viktor walked towards a huge stone wall with a single wooden door. It reminded Yuuri of a medieval castle. Viktor stopped in front of the door and just stood there. He sighed deeply and ran his hand through his hair.

"I can do this…I'm showing this to my Yuuri, not some stranger" Viktor whispered to himself, pumping himself up. This would be the first time that anyone had seen this. Yuuri noticing his fiancé hesitation and nervousness, but not really knowing why. Wrapping his arms around Viktor's waist, "No matter what…I won't leave you. You can show me anything"

Bolstered another reminder of the complete trust given to him by Yuuri, Viktor nodded while turning the key in the door. Before Yuuri could step through the doorway Viktor stopped him, "This is something that only I have seen…meaning that no one else has seen it!"

"I know what that means Viktor, I'm tired, not dumb" Yuuri teased him. Viktor didn't smile at the jest, trying to make Viktor understand he continued, "I meant that I know that this place has a special meaning to you. I mean, you've been nervous and quiet since we started walking. I'm just tired and as nervous as you are." Yuuri finished with a huge sigh and simply stared at Viktor hoping that his eyes would portray the feelings that he couldn't speak yet.

Nodding, Viktor simply said, "I understand completely"

The tension was immense when Yuuri got an idea, "Is this the grand surprise?" Yuuri gestured to the stone wall in front of them. Viktor smiled at the obvious ploy.

"Yes! I brought you here to stare at the wall…Of course not! The surprise is beyond the wall" Viktor joked, his tension was gone.

Viktor's surprise was a few blocks from the apartment. The whole concept was a contradiction. It was a walled enclosure in the middle of the bustling urban city life. A piece of property that Viktor had bought after his fourth gold medal win, and a place that he went before and after a competition to think and plan.

Yuuri stepped through the door and the noise of the city simply vanished. He felt like he was back in quiet Hasetsu…it was amazing. It was a beautiful garden, it had an arch of lattice that was vine-covered that traveled two meters. The lattice met in a cross; to the left was a table and chairs, to the right was a garden with a dog house ( for Makkachin), if you continued straight, it opened up to a spectacular view of the Neva River. The sound water rushing could be heard from the river and the elegant fountain, on the far right of the garden

The beauty and the elegance of the garden reminded Yuuri of the personality of Viktor. Awe-inspiring and always hiding a surprise around every corner. While the season was not great for flowers, there were still a huge amount of blossoms; purple, blue, white, pink, red, and yellow.

"This is amazing, Viktor" Yuuri twirled to look at Viktor, a smile lighting up his face. All his energy seemed to be rejuvenated.

"It's been a personal project of mine, my mother is obsessed with flowers and I guess it stuck with me. She always tells me that 'being in the dirt helped her calm down' I only truly knew what she meant after my second gold medal…now I come here before and after a competition to think and calm down."

Yuuri was speechless, spinning again, Yuuri took him in the garden that Viktor himself had created and nurtured. Yuuri had never known that Viktor knew this much about flowers, as he thought about it; he really didn't know that much about Viktor. He frowned at the implications, I'm marrying a man that I don't truly know anything about. Before he could spiral downwards into the darkness of his insecurities, he felt a hand pulling him back towards Viktor.

"I have a gift for you…but first let's go sit down" Viktor led him over to the cushioned covered iron chairs. Sitting down on the loveseat, Viktor leaned over searching for the gifts.

"I-I didn't get you anything. I didn't know we were giving gifts!" Yuuri was panicking when Viktor laughed.

"No worries, My Yuuri, I have you in my life I don't need much else, Anyways, this is my gift to you."

As Viktor put two flowers in pots on the table in front of him. Yuuri grinned at the tiny yellow flowers and the tiny pink ones. Viktor, you're such a cute weirdo. I love you, Yuuri thought as he grazed his fingers over the flowers.

"Flowers? Why did you give me these…sadly I don't have much of a green-thumb"

"Ha-ha, good to know. No, these are for you to add to OUR garden. The primrose means 'I can't live without you'…"

Yuuri stopped moving, staring at the tiny yellow flowers, "Our garden? I don't know what you mean and wait? I didn't know that you felt that way or that flowers could even mean such things!"

"You didn't know! Yuuri I love you to the moon and back. I wouldn't be able to live without you…I simply survived before I met you. I've only started to truly appreciate life when you came into my life," he put his hand on Yuuri's cheek, "I meant that this garden is now also yours…I'm sharing this with you"

Yuuri looked at the ground and smiled, he didn't know what else to say but, "I've always put you on a pedestal but I'm starting to see that I'm only starting to figure you out. I also want to continue learning about you"

Grinning at the subtle declaration of Yuuri's, "The other flower is a spider flower…Nothing to do with spiders luckily, It means 'elope with me' but considering that we are already engaged…think of it as a reaffirmation that I want to marry you."

Yuuri vision blurred as his eyes filled with tears. This thoughtful, wonderful man wished to marry his clumsy, insecure self. The couple sat in comfortable silence for what seemed like forever, soon the sun began to set when Yuuri felt suddenly tired. He rested his head on Viktor's shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Viktor?"

"Hmm…"

"I think we should head back to our place. I'm feeling tired."

"Good idea! Can you stand? Yuuri?" Viktor looked over at the crumpled, sleeping Yuuri and sighed. Viktor leaned back into the cushions. What a wonderful night, thought Viktor as he sat in his garden with his favorite person.
