...Five Years Later...

Victor can't say that he was fully recovered but he knows that he is well enough to move forward. These years of talking to the therapist, the trips to the hospital and the endless support from his family and friends were enough to help him keep going. Granted there were times where he would fall into the depressing darkness at the mere memories of Yuuri's death but he was taking baby steps on handling that anxiety while he couldn't help but wonder how Yuuri has done it. However, now they only happen whenever he has nightmares, lately, he would simply hold a notebook where he'll write down thoughts or messages he wished he could tell his love.

Call him crazy but it actually made him feel a little weight lift off of his shoulders.

As for his children, for the good of them all especially during Victor's recovery, he entrusted his parents Anna and Vitaly Nikiforov with temporary custody of Yusha and Hana just long enough until he was deemed suitable to take care of them on his own. Of course, Yurio and Otabek, and the rest of the Russian team were there to support him and help the Nikiforov's with Hana and Yusha. The Katsuki family would come visit for every holiday, birthday, or just babysitting if necessary. Victor also was able to pay visits to his children and they would visit him but sometimes they don't really bond much and just sit around awkwardly in silence if it wasn't for his parents lighting up the mood.

But he made sure that he didn't miss any birthday, even if he was just a stranger standing awkwardly in the corner, he was there. Not that he was a total stranger with Hana, the girl was always so excited whenever they meet but the excitement would, unfortunately, burn out when they don't interact as often. However, he knew that he definitely a stranger to little Yusha, they hardly knew each other even with the visits but even then the boy would often refuse to join the visits or just hide away from him. Victor didn't blame him really, but this time, he just hopes he'll be able to reconnect with both his children. And the only way he could do that without looking back was having a fresh start somewhere that wasn't as big as St. Petersburg.

He and the kids were going to move to the peaceful homeland land of Hasetsu.

It was a big decision, hell, it was crazy since it was Yuuri's home that is filled with memories but his psychologist was very supportive of his choice. Just as long as he knew what he was doing and keep having regular appointments to a close colleague of hers who happened to be in Hasetsu as well. His parents were worried for a moment but regardless of that, they were willing to allow their son to go through with this choice just as long as he allowed them and everyone to help when he needs it.

The plan was simple, his kids would go on the first flight with his parents and wait in the Katsuki onsen where he'll meet them again after a month of not seeing them. Then after spending a week in the onsen, he would ask his kids if they wanted to stay with him and if they say 'no', he'd promise to love and support them no matter what, even if they don't live together. But if they say 'yes' then he'll take them to their new home just a couple blocks away from the Katsukis'. And speaking of a month, Victor took one look at the mirror to notice how these past five years his hair actually grew long like it did during his Junior days.

No, no, this won't do, He shook his head as he grabbed a jacket, wallet, and keys to head out the door. If I'm going to start over with my children, I need to start with an old-new hairstyle. Hana and Yusha are going to be so surprised...As he made his way to the nearest hair salon, he couldn't help but look up at the clear skies and made a small smile before he pulled out his little notebook and pen to write down a new thought for his love. "Yuuri...I really hope I can do everything right."

...

"Hana, Yusha, there's something Deda and I need to tell you," Baba began that evening in the dining room as the nine-year-old girl and five-year-old boy both looked up from their plates to pay attention. Hana's raven hair was long enough to reach her waist, her silver eyes waiting for the news Baba will tell them while Yusha's silver hair was kept short with small bangs over his forehead while he was glancing from his lap then to baba then back to his lap, unlike his big sister, he wasn't quite keen on surprises.

"Yes, Baba?" They both replied though Hana was louder than the timid Yusha.

Baba first asked, "So do you two remember how your daddy had to go away for a while to get help so he can feel better?" Seeing the eager nod from Hana along with the small one from Yusha, she continued with a smile, "Well, I just a call from Uncle Yurio and I'm happy to tell you that next week, you're going to see your daddy again but this time, he's going to stay with you from now on."

"That means we can finally go home and he can take care of us forever right?" Hana stood up from her seat with excitement, "We're not just going to wait for him to visit or us visiting him anymore?"

"Yes Hana, that's exactly what I mean," Baba confirmed as Deda chuckled at their granddaughter's excitement. "But this also means that you'll be moving to a new home."

"A new home?" Yusha whispered in confusion. "W-Where? And why do we have to move?"

"Well, your daddy thought that it would be nice for you two to live back in Hasetsu, Japan where your grandma Hiroko and grandpa Toshiya live," Deda answered with a small smile, "I think it's a good thing, you all can start a new life in a nice place where it's peaceful and you two can play in the nice neighborhood without worrying about strangers most of the time and without the snow to make you cold throughout most of the year."

"But I like it here," Yusha protested with a pout, looking down at his fists that were tightened up, "Can't daddy move here? I don't wanna go."

"But Yusha, if we move then it's going to be like an adventure and we can go exploring and we can see the onsen that obaasan and ojiisan always told us about," Hanna argued which caused the little boy still look down with uncertainty. "And we can make new friends and even run around with Makki and Yuuki without the leash like how auntie Yuuko told us."

On cue, two small brown poodle puppies came scampering into the dining room, sitting right by her seat as their fluffy tails wagged eagerly at the very mention of their names. They were Easter gifts for the children which gave them a friendly memory of good old Makkachin which was why one of them was named Makki who was a little dark brown male after him, then there was his sister pup Yuuki who was a lighter brown color.

"See! Makki and Yuuki want to go too," Hana added, winking at said pups after tossing two pieces of carrots at them, "We're in summer vacation so we don't have to worry about school yet and we know how to speak and write Japanese because auntie Mari and Minako-sensei taught us, remember?"

"Y-Yeah," Yusha nodded quietly, still unsure.

Hana then decided to add one more argument that is guaranteed to get her baby brother to agree. It may be pushing him but she knows that it was for the best for Yusha to be on board with moving and giving their daddy a chance to take care of them even if he was going to use this move for a totally different reason that has bugged him ever since he could talk. "It's the home where our papa used to grow up."

Now that got Yusha's eye to widen with surprise. For his whole five years of life, or at least when he can finally talk and comprehend what people were sorta telling him, everybody but his daddy had mentioned their papa at least once or twice. There was no photo of his papa, no memory, not even a name(but then again they probably did that so he wouldn't do any web search)just one statement. No one would tell him anything about papa so they tell him the same detail over and over: 'That papa loves him, Hana, and daddy so much even though he's living up in the clouds with the angels.'

In other words, his papa was dead and nobody thinks that he is ready to know about him ever! Well there's that and his big sister was part of the whole 'don't talk about your papa' club but she did add one more detail about their papa. That their papa was the one who created the special 'kiss it all better' spell and believe him when he says that the spell works like a charm especially when he has so much energy that caused a lot of falls.

Now if Yusha had any hope of learning anything about his papa, then the move to Hasetsu is the perfect opportunity to find out everything he can even if he had to do it all by himself without his family's help. It's not like they were helping him know his papa in the first place. Even if it means having to go through the change that scares him, he would do anything for memories.

So with a reluctant sigh, he finally caved in, "Okay, fine...I guess I'll go."

"There's no need to be afraid Yusha," Deda reassured, sensing how nervous his grandson was getting. "Your uncle Yurio and Uncle Otabek will be coming with us for a couple weeks, and hey even your friend Anatasia is coming too."

"Really!" Yusha brightened up at the very mention of his favorite uncles and bestest friend Anatasia Altin. "How long is a week? I wanna go very soon!"

He didn't know why everyone began to laugh but he decided to just ignore that and keep eating from his bowl.

...One Week Later...

"Are you ready to go Victor?" Vitality asked his son gently as the last of luggage was placed in the trunk of the car. "It's a big day for all of us, everyone will be waiting for you in Hasetsu. Well everyone-"

"Except us," Yurio and Phichit both smirked as they shut the trunk tight. "We're taking you there ourselves."

Victor looked back at the old apartment that was now empty from every room, wall, corners, and cracks, everything was packed away and ready to be shipped off to Hasetsu where he'll be staying from then on. Snow was beginning to fall when he finally looked away, making his way towards the car, making sure that there was no turning back when he entered with Yurio, Phichit, and his father in.

His mother, Otabek, and Seung-gil took the kids and went to the airport earlier so as they drove off. Victor already said his goodbyes to Yakov, Lilia, and the rest of the team, well after reassuring his old coach that he would still be teaching skating lessons, just in Hasetsu Ice Castle. He couldn't help but worry about how things will go when he gets to Hasetsu.

Will Hana and Yusha accept me?

Will Yuuri's family accept me too?

Can I be the father they need?

What if I mess up?

What if they hate me?

What if-

"You'll be fine," Yurio reassured as he patted Victor's shoulder, "Remember, we're here for you every step of the way."

Victor managed to smile back as he released a sigh of relief, "Thank you." He opened up the little notebook once Yurio turned away and quickly wrote, "Yuuri, this is going to be the week where I make things right with our kids. No turning back, I won't disappoint you."
