So, please enjoy this chapter! Hopefully I'll be able to upload a little faster next time.
"We are happy to announce that we are engaged." Viktor said and smiled his biggest and happiest smile.
"Huh?"
It took a moment from everyone to process the news. Yuri was starting to get worried when nobody responded. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.
"But my, congratulations then!" Yuri's mother was the first one to say anything, and the others followed right after her congratulating them.
Viktor looked proud standing next to Yuri who was relieved, it was not as bad as he had imagined, he was glad that the people he knew were mostly undersanding and approving. Though it was still unbelievable to hear Viktor state it out loud.
He blushed slightly and got a huge urge to hug Viktor tightly and kiss him. Yuri had no idea where that came from, maybe he was just so happy to hear Viktor say it, tell his family and Minako, their quite close friend about it. And the sound of his voice, Yuri could hear the love in it. He knew it was not some stupid joking some people do, you could hear the attachment from Viktor's voice and that made Yuri fall in love with him even more.
Before he had just kinda admitted it and then tried not to think about it that much, but now that they were able to be open about it with his family... he realised that he was able to let his thoughts go free.
Yuri felt his mother's warm and comfortable arms wrap around him. "I'm so happy that you actually found someone you love."
Yuri could do nothing but smile. He was glad that his parents accepted Viktor as a part of the family.
Watching Viktor skate was always an important thing to Yuri. He had followed the older man since he was a child, he had always been amazed by the skills he had and the way he moved beautifully on the ice. Yuri was putting on his skates and watching Viktor skate, he was doing something Yuri had never seen. Probably he was goreographing his new program.
Yuri stood up and walked closer, just staring at the slender figure moving on the ice, it looked like Viktor belonged there. He fit no place on earth better than ice. Yuri listened to the sound of his skates quietly scratching the ice as he moved. One last pirouette and Viktor stopped exchausted, slowly coming towards Yuri who was still staring at him enchanted.
"What did you think?" Viktor asked and pulled Yuri's hand to get him on the ice too. "Wow." It was the only word Yuri could think of.
Viktor started skating again pulling Yuri after him. He was not ready for that so he lost his balance and almost fell. Viktor caught him in his arms and laughed. He held his hands and pulled him after him, making sure he was able to follow and stay on his feet.
Eventually Viktor turned around to face the same way Yuri did and they turned around together. Yuri went faster going past him and making a jump in front of him, returning back at his side.
Even Viktor thought it was fun to just skate and do something other than training or coaching when at the skating rink. He enjoyed skating together with Yuri at his side, not caring about mistakes becouse they could not make those right now. If you are not doing anything particular, you cannot make mistakes. As long as you stay on your feet you do enough. As long as you have fun, you are doing amazingly.
That was what Viktor thought as they skated around the rink, crossing over it and changing direction. Eventually their hands slipped together and they skated around holding hands tightly, not letting go of each other even when they stopped and stepped off the ice.
VIKTOR'S BIRTHDAY
It was nearly christmas and Yuri was starting to get stressed out about Viktor's upcoming birthday. He had no idea what to give him as a present but he wanted to give him something. Anything could be fine, really, but it had to be something that would make Viktor happy.
Viktor seemed a little worried when Yuri told him he was going to the rink but he wanted to be alone there. "Are you okay?" He asked when Yuri walked past him looking at his feet. "I'm fine." Yuri said and left the house as quick as possible. He wanted some time alone so he could decide what to get for Viktor.
Skating aimlessly around in the small crowd he thought over and over again. What did Viktor like? First thing that came in mind was ice skating, but that was most certainly a thing he could do whenever he wanted. Second thing Yuri thought about was pork cutlet bowls. But Viktor already ate those pretty much all the time so he didn't need those either. Viktor also liked dogs but he had one and Yuri could not buy another one. First, he had no money and second, Viktor had a dog and he loved him.
Getting frustrated Yuri stopped and rubbed his head. Chokolate? Cake? No, they got those anyways. New clothes? A book? Yuri left the ice and sat on a pench. 'Maybe I should just ask Viktor himself." He thought.
But it would ruin the surprise. And Yuri was certain that if you have to ask someone you love to tell you what they want as a gift then you do not know them well enough and you do not deserve them. As he took off his skates forcefully pulling the bows open he finally came up with an idea.
'There is still one thing he likes.' He thought as he got up carrying his skates with him.
He headed back home, feeling seemingly better. Suddenly he felt tired, he hadn't noticed the growing tiredness while worrying so much.
When he was back home he ran to take care of his skates and left them in their proper place after he was done. Viktor was just walking down the stairs in a dark blue kimono. Yuri regognised it. "So it had been you who has gone through my closet and taken my clothes." He said. He had to admit that Viktor looked very good in a kimono.
Viktor smiled. "Want to come with me to the hot spring soon?" He asked. Yuri walked past him. "No, sorry. I'm very tired. I want to go to sleep." He had been stressing out about Viktor's birthday so much that he was unable to sleep during past nights.
Lazy steps followed him to his room and he was grabbed into a hug from behind when he closed the door. "Viktor.." Yuri complained and walked to his bed removing his shirt and throwing in on the floor.
He felt like someone pulled down his eyelids, and he fell on the bed, his legs dangling off the enge, and his right toes sloghtly touching the floor. He heard Viktor's quiet steps coming closer just before his tiredness took over and he fell asleep.
