"Yusha, are you sure about sitting by yourself?" Hana asked her brother with concern when they got in the first class seats that her father and uncles were able to support. Much to her confusion, Yusha requested to sit by himself in a seat near a plane window "You can always sit with me, Mali, and Lee. It'll be much better than being by yourself."

Yusha shook his head reassuringly as he made a small smile, "I'm sure. I wanna try to brave on my own by looking out the window."

"Aw, Yu-Yu," Mali cooed as she ruffled the small boy's hair. 'Yu-Yu' was her favorite nickname for Yusha while it made her twin brother and small child cringe but not have the heart to tell her to stop. "You don't have to be brave for us. You're more than welcome to join the big kids, Lee and I have more pictures from our dad's phone to show you guys. I even snuck a picture of the time Uncle Yurio dressed up as a cat."

Just as many have feared, the tanned twins were growing to look like a fusion of their fathers with raven short hair with short bangs and dark grey eyes who have begun to learn the art of taking photos worthy for the social media with a morning and night curfew. Unlike Phichit, they were able to take photos and videoes that was pure blackmail that they could make anyone be in their control, well, until their appa (Korean for 'dad') finds outs and punish them.

"I'm good," Yusha repeated himself as he made a small bow to the older kids before he made his way to plane seat behind the seats they would be sitting on. From there he only showed interest in the sky outside the window while Mali and Lee could only look at him with a stunned expression then look at Hana with confusion as she shrugged. In all honesty, she was feeling just as confused as they were and from the looks at how the rest of adults and elderly were enjoying their conversations, there was no way to convince him to join the group without causing a commotion.

Suddenly she felt a small tug on her shirt as she looked down to see a five-year-old girl with blonde hair tied into one braid as her ocean eyes glowing with determination while she held on to a yellow stuffed cat. "Anatasia?" Hana blinked with confusion. "Is there anything you need?"

"I'll sit with Yusha!" She volunteered with pride, "He won't be lonely if I'm there."

Hana took a moment to think until she smiled down at Anatasia and nodded, "Alright then, you're in charge of not leaving Yusha alone."

With that, Anatasia then happily walked over to the seat next to Yusha, seeing how he was so focused on the world outside that small window. He was mainly focusing on the clouds that were changing their shape and form while the plane continued to fly. You can find him, Yusha repeated to himself, scanning every space in the sky, Baba always told me that if I looked hard enough then I can find the angel...Finding him and getting him to stay, I can do it. I just have to find him up here and take him home. "Yusha, you've been staring out that window for a long time," She pointed out which interrupted the addressed five-year-old boy from his trail of thought as she hugged her stuffed red kitty toy tightly. "Isn't it a little scary?"

"No, not really," Yusha reassured his friend as he pointed out the plane window with his stuffed poodle toy in his arms. The stuffed poodle he named 'Vicchan', he wasn't sure why he picked that name but somehow it just sounds comforting not to mention that it was the last gift daddy was supposed to give him before he had to go away to get better with some doctors. "If I don't try to look out to the sky, then how can I find papa?"

"Your papa?" Anatasia repeated with confusion. "But why are you looking at out there? You don't even know how he looks like."

"I know that but everyone is always telling us that my papa is living in the sky like an angel," Yusha explained with his chocolate brown eyes still staring out the window with hope in them, "So if I find an angel up here then I'll know it'll be him when he recognizes me after I call for him."

"But you're on a plane? And I thought angels never come back from the sky."

"I know, but Baba always told me that angels will know that you're calling for them even if you think they can't hear you. And if you ask really nicely, you can get them to come home," Yusha answered, getting on his knees so he can look further. "If I find my papa and ask him to come home with us then no one will be sad whenever I ask for any stories about him. Because he'll be here to tell me everything I want to know."

Anatasia tried to process everything the five-year-old just told her until she just yawned then tried to take a peek out the plane window herself, "You sound weird when you say all that stuff but I guess that makes sense. Can I help-"

"Anatasia, I think it's time for your nap," Otabek called out from the plane seats across from them much to their disappointment. Anatasia looked torn between staying or taking that nap, especially after she promised Hana that she wouldn't leave him alone but Yusha gently placed his hand over hers as he gave her a reassuring smile.

"It's okay Anya, you can go. I can handle this by myself."

"Okay then," Anatasia sighed, trying not to blush at the nickname. "But wake me up if you find him, I wanna say hello to your papa too." Once Yusha nodded to confirm that deal, she then got up from her seat and walked away to her dad who wrapped her up in a leopard print blanket then held her close to his arms while rocking a little bit. Didn't take long for her to fall asleep in her dad's arms, his safe, comforting arms with his soothing humming of a lullaby to make sure she was having good dreams.

For a moment, Yusha's eyes were away from the window, looking around to see his Baba fast asleep in her seat next to Hana who was laughing as a joke Mali and Lee told her. Looking closer, the twins had their nice warm heart themed blankets wrapped up to keep them warm from the air conditioning which Uncle Seung-gil must have given them since he was one to dote about keeping them safe and comfortable. Then Hana just had her sweater and poodle themed blanket that daddy sent her for her last birthday, Yusha had the same thing but instead of purple his blanket and sweater were blue but they're not as comforting as they are to his big sister. They were just a plain blanket and sweater for him given by the man who he hardly knows but Vicchan was a little comforting, just not enough to feel those emotions. His sister knew how this parental love feels, but he doesn't since both fathers were gone before he could even speak. Sure, he had his aunts, uncles, and grandparents to fill up that gap but he just really wanted to know how it feels to be loved by his papa and daddy that will be remembered.

I just want to find Papa, Yusha thought to himself as he stared out the window again.

"Yusha," A voice called out, making him perk up to see his uncle Seung-gil was standing by the seat beside him. He was getting another cup of water to drink during the flight when he noticed Yusha sitting by himself "Mind if I join you?"

Shaking his head to confirm that it was okay, Seung-gil sat right by Yusha in silence for a few minutes while looking out the window since the child resumed to search. They were quiet for a moment before Seung-gil finally broke the silence to ask, even though he had a good feeling what the answer was, "So, are you looking for something in the clouds?"

"I'm looking for papa's angel," Yusha simply answered and repeated himself, "Baba told me that all angels are flying in the clouds so if I look hard enough I'll find Papa. I can try to get him to come home, and with him then he'll make everybody feel better...I want him to stay forever, with all us...With me." Up to this point, Yusha slowly looked down away from the window to stare at his toy poodle. Now that he kept repeating that, it was sounding a little stupid to think that he'll bring his Papa back home, it's not like things like that happened before. If it did, then he wouldn't be here searching for himself now would he?

"B-But, I don't know if that will work...M-Maybe I won't find him..." He sighed dejectedly, trying so hard not to tear up. "E-Even so, I just wanna meet him...I wanna know who he is and how he loved me, daddy, and onee-san."

Seung-gil frowned a little, for a five-year-old, Yusha knew how to hold onto hope but also shatter it in a matter of seconds. He placed a gentle hand on Yusha's shoulder, allowing the boy to lean against him while at a loss for words with what to say. All he could do was embrace the boy and whisper repeatedly, "He loved you all so much, so so much Yusha."

"I-I'm not going to cry," Yusha muttered under his breath. "And everyone is always saying the same thing."

I know that this is going to bend the rules a bit but what else can I tell Yusha. Simply saying that Yuuri loved him isn't cutting it right now. With a sigh, Seung-gil had decided to begin a small little story about Yuuri. Just not with so many details to lead anything on. "So much that it was pretty hard to have him stay away from you and your sister for even five minutes. Trust me, when your big sister was a baby, he hardly took a break because he didn't want to leave her alone."

He remembered those days very clearly, how Yuuri refused to take a little break away from Hana no matter how many times Victor tried to trick him into doing it which always failed within thirty seconds. Then with Yusha, it was a whole level of overprotectiveness for the both of them. Now that he thought of it, remembering was pretty funny especially when he had to witness Victor crying to Phichit about being sent to the couch. "And you know, it took a while for your papa to trust anyone to babysit you and your big sister so he and your daddy could have some time alone. He only trusted your daddy with the two of you but he still stayed home where he can be there."

"Really?" Yusha gasped with awe at the new story he was suddenly hearing. "Papa loved me and nee-san that much?"

"Yep," Seung-gil confirmed with a soft small smile, "It wasn't until your uncle Phichit decided to give have me babysit you and your big sister while he and your daddy decided to take your papa off for a little vacation at a nearby beach." And so astonishing, well to Yusha at least, Seung-gil released a small chuckle, "But that only worked for at least a half hour before he escaped from their sight and was practically racing across town to get home to you guys."

"But Uncle Seung-gil is a good babysitter," Yusha giggled at the thought of how that might have gone down. "We were okay with you."

"Yes, yes but your papa didn't know that yet and he couldn't help but worry about you guys," Seung-gil nodded, his eyes looking around much to his relief, no one was paying attention. "But thankfully, once he saw how you two were doing so well when he got home, he was at least okay with allowing babysitting to an option once in while. Even if he left a long list of 'Do's' and 'Don'ts' for those times. And they were so long it filled the floors up."

Those lists still gave Phichit nightmares but it was one of those things he held onto after Yuuri died. One of the little memories that made those dark times more difficult for everyone to get passed but Seung-gil as looked down he noticed how Yusha was sleeping soundly next to him with a smile on his face. Though those little moments of memories brought a hint of sadness, he knew that they brought a bit of satisfaction to the little boy.

I just hope Victor is going to be willing to share more memories of Yuuri with his son, Seung-gi thought to himself as he caressed the boy's silver hair. Yusha deserves to know more about his papa, with or without any more rules holding us back...Victor, you have to be the one to share these memories of your husband with your son.

...HOURS LATER...

"We're finally here!" Hana cheered as she skipped out of the car that Minako had them go in after arriving from the airport. There they were, in front of the warm onsen with the sign: 'Yu-topia Katsuki' there to greet them. "Look Yusha!" She grabbed Yusha's hand to drag him closer as she pointed with excitement, "This is where we used to visit for the holidays or whenever daddy felt like it, we're in papa's home!"

"This is your grandparents' home?" Anatasia gasped in awe at the resort while she held onto her dad's hand. "It's so big."

"C-Can we go home now?" Yusha whispered at the sight of the intimidating resort, even if this place held the secrets of his papa, the closer he got the more panic was getting the better of him. "I don't like this place...It's too big."

"Let's go inside and check out the baths here!" Mali cheered, wrapping her arms around Hana. "We haven't been here for ages!"

"Hai!" Hana nodded with a bright smile as the two girls chanted while making their way to the door with Makki, Yuuki, a duo of small hamsters, and a cat follow right behind them, "ON-SEN! ON-SEN! ON-SEN!" Within seconds, Anatasia joined the little cheer since she recalled those times her daddy tried to remake the relaxation of the onsen back home in their bathroom. Long story short, it didn't work and her dad couldn't stop laughing which was something rare for her tough dad. "ON-SEN! ON-SEN! ON-SEN!"

Up to that point, Yusha let go of Hana's hand so he could use both his hands to cover his ears to block out the loud noise the girls were making. If there was one thing that could help him find his sister was her loud voice, especially when she gets excited about something. He felt a hand rest on his shoulder as he looked up with confusion to see that it was Lee who did and was the one who sighed, "Girls."

What about girls? Yusha wondered to himself even though he knew that no one will answer him if he asked out loud. So all he could do was sigh and put his hands down to hold onto his Baba's hand to walk to the front doors. "It's okay Yusha, this is really a nice place," She reassured with a gentle tone. "The baths here are so warm and you'll have all of us here to be with you until daddy comes. Your family is here with you."

Those doors were quick to open and reveal his obaasan smiling brightly as she waved at them and greeted the group of tired adults with energetic children with the exception of Yusha. "Welcome home everyone!" She rushed over to embrace his Baba and uncles until his sister, Anatasia and the twins all ambushed her with their own hugs, leaving Yusha to stand there awkwardly. "I'm so glad you all made it here safely."

Then his obaasan noticed him as she pulled him into a tight warm embrace, "And you, my little adorable Yusha! Look how much you've grown, you're getting bigger every day aren't you? You're behaving very good with your Baba are you?"

"H-Hai," Yusha nodded with confirmation, returning the embrace. She's okay...At least she's warm like Baba.

"Well, come on inside everyone," Hiroko grinned and giggled at how Yusha held onto her hand and grabbed Baba's hand as well. "Mari is taking care of some customers at the moment but she'll join us shortly but I do know that ojiisan is waiting with some nice bowls of katsudon on the table just for you."

"Yeah!" The other children cheered as they quickly took their shoes off and scampered off to find Toshiya as they cheered, "KAT-SU-DON! KAT-SU-DON! KAT-SU-DON! KAT-SU-DON! KAT-SU-DON! KAT-SU-DON!" Within seconds they were gone inside the inn which was soon followed by the laughter of the older man who was already welcoming them with his own hugs as well. Yusha simply stared quietly, not sure if it was safe to leave the comfort of his Baba's and Obaasan's hands until Baba tugged his hand with a warm smile.

"Come on Yusha, we should go join the others and try some Katsudon," She suggested, but Yusha didn't move a single step, keeping a firm grip on his Obaasan's hand.

"I guess I'm coming with you too," Hiroko chirped up and with that, both elderly women were leading the little boy inside, well, after he took his shoes off. Then there they went inside to catch up with the rest while Otabek and Seung-gil were trailing right behind them with the luggage.

It didn't take long until Mari showed up as she waved to the former figure skaters, "So, you guys made it after all. Here, let me help you guys. Knowing Victor and his parents, I know they overpacked the things for Hana and Yusha." She helped carry most of the luggage as they went down the other hall to put them in the rooms where they'll be staying.

"Mari, I hope this isn't any bother to you but is Toshiya ill again? He usually greets us at the door with Hiroko when we used to visit," Otabek asked curiously.

Mari stopped at her trails for a moment before resuming to walk forward as she sighed uneasily, "Y-Yeah, lately, dad has been getting sick more often than usual. Probably from his old age but it's nothing to worry about," She sent the two men a warm smile as she set the luggage down in the room. "Besides, I'm sure dad is just glad to see the kids again and with their cheerfulness, I'm sure it'll perk his health right back up."

Though it may have been fives years, life will still have its way to change the normality around places but at least they knew that they had each other as a family to take care of one another.
