This is before the rings... And someone pointed out what eclectic means and I am grateful for it. But I won't go back and fix it. Yuri still has some anxiety when it comes to dealing with major problems that have to do with Victor. And as for their relationship... I haven't thought about it yet. Also they are back in Hasetsu for a short break.
It was dark and hard to breathe. Yuri opened his eyes and had to blink as he realized he was facing another man's chest. His breath hitched and memories from the night before came flooding back. 'Victor... Oh God, I cried in front of him again! I didn't want him to see me like that a second time. I know I've gotten used to having this man around all the time and it seems that he's the reason why my anxiety has nearly vanished but that nightmare seemed to have brought some of it back.' The flustered twenty three year old pushed lightly on the older's chest, trying to carefully remove his arm from his back as well.
Fortunately, all Victor did was remove his arm, releasing the brown eyed man who quickly caught a breath of fresh air before sliding off the bed. The floor was freezing but Yuri didn't pay it any mind. His large eyes were focused only on the sleeping silver haired beauty as he tip toed towards the door. But, he didn't make his escape in time.
Victor, noticing that there wasn't any heat near him at all, opened his eyes quickly before sitting up. His vision was a bit blurry but he could still see a figure in a dark navy t - shirt and brown knee length shorts. They had black hair that seemed to be all over the place and the first name that popped into his head was 'Yuri'. His eyes widened and he jumped out of the twin sized bed, running the short distance towards the frozen young man. Pulling Yuri in by his shoulders, he whispered in Russian "Yuro, YA skazal tebe, chto budu slushat', tak pochemu ty uyezzhayesh'?"
The young Asian froze before relaxing. "Victor... I don't know what you just said." He whispered with a tad bit of sadness in his voice.
The blue – green eyed twenty seven year old pushed away and looked deep into the young skater's eyes. "I told you last night before we fell asleep that you could tell me anything. It's close enough to what I said in Russian but what I said is true."
It brought a small smile to the other's face for a moment before he frowned. "Let's go to the ocean. I don't want anyone from my family to hear." 'Especially the part of the nightmare where he didn't give an answer…' He received a small grin from the other and headed back to his room so he could change. Yuri wasn't completely prepared to tell Victor about his nightmare but he had said he'd tell him in the morning...
Victor was eager to speak to him; he wanted to hold him tightly and whisper sweet things in the jet black haired man's ear. 'What am I thinking? I'm supposed to be listening to Yuri not trying to woo him!' He slipped on his normal black t – shirt, gray hoodie and sweatpants before smoothing out his silver hair. "He always comes first… I've known that since I first met him in the hot springs as his coach." He stepped out of his room quietly, noticing immediately Yuri was walking towards him.
He sported his usual navy blue long sleeved shirt and tight fitting black pants with a pair of black sneakers. Victor smiled, trying to ignore the worried look on Yuri's face. "Ready to go? We can take our time if you'd like."
Yuri face changed to surprise. "N – no. It's okay. Really. Besides, we should get a head start if we want to see the sunrise." He saw Victor's smile falter for a second as he passed but didn't say anything. The brown eyed skater didn't want to say anything yet.
"Ya lyublyu tebya." Victor mumbled underneath his breath, causing Yuri to shiver and tears well up in his eyes as his heart raced wildly.
'He said it… I can't believe he actually said it.' Yuri glanced back at the handsome man who was following closely but he wasn't looking at him. 'It's a good thing I asked Yurio to teach me some Russian.' He opened the front door and let Victor walk ahead before shutting it.
'I hope I didn't say I love you out loud… that would just be, well, embarrassing for the both of us. Of course I love Yuri and by his cute little actions when he's frightened, worried, etc. he usually comes to me. And when I had wanted to surprise him, I had actually really wanted to kiss him which I did of course but I'm glad he wasn't shocked by it.' Victor let his eyes wander towards the ocean where the sun was starting to peek out. "I think we might have to run." He laughed lightly and saw a smile cross Yuri's lips.
"I'll race you!" Yuri cried out and began running ahead.
'If I can see him smile until we reach the beach, I'll be a bit less worried.' The silver haired Russian thought as he ran to pass the young Asian.
Yuri didn't even need to look back to know how fast Victor was catching up. He could hear the Russian's footsteps hitting the pavement as they got closer and weresoon in front. 'It shouldn't come as a surprise that Victor's always been fast compared to me. He's an amazing person.' The younger stared at the other's back as he thought of how to begin the conversation. 'I want to be in your arms, where you hold me tight and never let go. I want you to kiss me while I fall deeper in love with you.' The brown eyed man turned his head towards the ocean. The morning sunlight had finally brightened the horizon but Yuri couldn't smile any longer as he watched it. It brought back the time he and Victor had their first serious conversation…
"What is that you want me to be to you? A father figure?" Victor had sounded like he was afraid of Yuri's choice.
"No." Yuri replied upsettingly.
"A brother then? A friend? Then, your boyfriend, I guess. Then I'll try my best." The man still sounded scared but mostly upset until the other jumped up saying "no" repeatedly.
"I want you to stay as you are! I've always looked up to you. I ignored you because I didn't want you to see my shortcomings." This surprised Victor yet also made him happy.
He felt heavy tears begin rolling down his cheeks he thought back to when they had finally began to understand each other and get along. 'I guess it's almost time to tell him. But, I'm scared and I don't want to cry again in front of him.'
"Yuri." A soft voice made him turn. "Tell me what's wrong, please?"
Sniffling slightly, Yuri said "I did say I'd tell you. But can we sit somewhere?" Victor nodded with a small smile.
They headed to their usual spot where most of the seagulls came around. Victor couldn't help but stare as the brown eyed man hugged himself tightly, his knees to his chest. "In my nightmare, you decided to head back to Russia. It felt so real. You said you couldn't stand someone who kept messing up during a competition and that I would ruin you if you stayed as my coach. At first I couldn't say a word. I never thought I'd hear those words coming from you. By the time I was able to speak, you were already walking away. I cried out to you yet you didn't even stop or look back at me. It hurt so much; I felt all alone and worthless again…" he heard Victor move but didn't face him.
Victor had promised him last night that he wouldn't leave. "Yuri, look at me." Yuri quietly did so and saw that Victor looked serious.
"What is it?" Yuri stared before feeling warm hands on his cheeks. His brown eyes slightly widened as Victor began leaning forward, the wind blowing his hair from his face to show both bright blue – green eyes.
"Mogu li ya potselovat' tebya?" Victor calmly asked as the sunlight gently caressed Yuri's face. He nearly stopped breathing at the way the other's cheeks turned a bright shade of pink; the twenty three year old's lips slightly parted as his tongue poked out to lick those thin, beautiful lips lightly. And those brown eyes… they always seemed to captivate Victor when he stared into them.
I couldn't think of anything else to type so use your imagination. Sorry guys. And I'm sorry for the formatting. I downloaded Word on my phone and don't know how to do single line breaks on it. I've got a Moto Z I think it is.
Yuro, YA skazal tebe, chto budu slushat', tak pochemu ty uyezzhayesh'? means Yuri, I told you I would listen, so why are you leaving?" I used Google Translate so I'm sorry if my translation is wrong. Plus, this is the only thing I could think of to have Victor say in Russian to Yuri.
Ya lyublyu tebya means 'I love you'
Mogu li ya potselovat' tebya? Means Can I kiss you?
This is the last chapter! Please don't ask for another, I beg you. I really had a hard time working with this one plus I'm having a hard time on a Hetalia fanfic.
