Author's Note: A short fic I made as a birthday present for a friend. Yuri on Ice has been one of my favorite anime, and I have been wanting to make a fic of this fandom since last year. Anyways, enjoy! And yes, I don't own Yuri on Ice.
The Last Night
I need Victor. I miss those nights when he would keep me company while I sleep. Nights have never been this satisfying ever since he first came into my life—when we first encountered each other properly, that is. It wasn't easy at first, the fact that I first met him and suddenly asking him to be my coach while being drunk with champagne was strangely odd, but it was one thing that led to another. It was also a surprise and maybe a bit scary when he once suddenly asked if he could sleep with me tonight, but it certainly was another thing that led to another.
Things would keep leading to another and now I ended up with one of the best people in the world.
I turn to my right, and my hand grooves over the vacant space and slowly it clenches the sheets, soft as always. I stare down where my hand rests and the more I stare, the more I want to cry. His brightness, confidence, and integrity were something that I have yet to emulate. I see these values whenever I am close to him, and it was amazing. That is why I see him as a god, an angel, but even angels and gods need to go too.
I wish I could hug him as we lay down together, telling him how much I am grateful for him, and I would want to spend an eternity of that. The feeling's too strong, my eyes water and I curl my body, and since no one else was around in this dark room, I just sob. That's just it; that's all I want to do right now. I waited five days just to be with him once we arrive in St. Petersburg. I didn't know if we'll be apart for a long time, but I'm assured that we'll be soon.
I was assured of that thought when it was just last night when Victor messaged me, told me that we would meet at the skating rink for final instructions. I went there with a heartbeat, while onee-san drives me there during the late hour of the night.
When I got out of that car, Victor was standing there, watching the night sky and all its colorful stars. He never looked too cool… no… too beautiful. He was like a star that fell off the sky and as expected he would be amazing as the other stars.
I walked to him casually and looked back giving off a smile. He invited me to just stand with him to watch the stars. He asked me how they looked, and I said, "Beautiful…"
He then replied, "I imagine that one day, you could be like those stars. You have this chance to give off the brightness and color that you have because any kind of brightness and color is just beautiful. Give off the best color and shine that you have. Show yourself as you are, with anything that you are given. Use them and recreate them to your own design. That probably would be the last lesson with you here in Japan. We'll probably learn much more in Russia, don't you think?"
The uttered question made me suddenly relive all my past mistakes, my thoughts of self-doubt, et cetera. Everything was coming back. I didn't know why he would let me relive that, but I am here, and looking back, I have gone so far, and I'll go even further into the horizon.
"Yeah, I think so."
I turned my head to the coach whom I admired very much and looking at him even longer makes me feel that I don't want to let go of him. I want him here close to me, and I'll keep it that way as long as I live, but I needed to tell him how much he means to me, not just as my coach, but as a soulmate.
"Victor…" I began and he turned his head.
"Yes?"
I know he's wondering what I had to say, "I…", I continued and Victor gave me an expression that told me, "Yes… I'm listening."
"I…"
"Yuuri!"
A loud voice emanated from the door!
Noooooooooo! Onee-san! Why call me while I'm having such a deep moment! Oohhhhhhh! Long story short, I told him how much he really means to me, and how I love him… or something? I forgot the exact words I said to him because I talked more words like I'm doing a speech. If only I could say a few simple words.
But anyway… I get up from the bed, fixed and prep myself to meet Victor once again. After all, It's the day I begin to leave for St. Petersburg.
I take my luggage with me and take a deep breath as I face the door.
A new world awaits me, and it'll be scary, but I'll get through it.
