So here you go, the next chapter! Now I'll post two chapters and then you guys have to wait for a little while so I can write the next ones. It just depends on how long it takes for me to come up with a good idea for the upcoming chapters.. haha
I actually watched episodes 9 and 10 again today and I got this huge need to write this fanfic so I finished the next chapter (7) earlier than I thought and I can't wait to share it with you.. So you'll get it now, right away.
Hopefully you'll enjoy!
Yuri found himself sleeping comfortably for a while until he woke up feeling cozy and warm. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around. It was six o'clock, he noticed the clock on his bedside table. Something very familiar was behind him.
The reason he always woke up feeling warm was again sleeping behind him, but now he still had the kimono on. It had opened slightly and Yuri's back was tightly pressed against Viktor's warm muscular chest, pulled closer by the arm he had wrapped around him.
Yuri couldn't help but smile, every time he woke up like this it felt amazingly good. He didn't even remember what it was like to sleep alone, it felt like he had always woken up next to the white haired man.
Yuri struggled to turn on his back so he could watch Viktor sleep. His light eyelashes curved beautifully upwards, and slightly fluttered around when Yuri breathed out. Viktor's soft hair was scattered on the pillow, and a small warm smile could be seen on his lips.
A funny feeling in Yuri's stomach grew bigger and he leaned to kiss those soft lips that formed a slight smile, making the urge to do that come down. The touch was so subtle Yuri thought Viktor would not even notice it, but right when he was pulling away Viktor pressed their lips together again, harder, yet still very gently.
"Feeling better?" He asked and opened his eyes to see Yuri's closed eyes few inches away from his.
"Yeah!" Yuri said giving him a smile.
Viktor leaned over Yuri and wrapped his arm under Yuri's neck and placed his nose against his neck. Yuri felt warmth and hotness go around his body as their chests touched. Viktor's breath on his neck tickled when he spoke. "I was worried when you looked like that. Why were you so tired? Have you not been able to sleep well?"
At first Yuri hesitated but then wrapped his arms around Viktor, grabbing his right wrist with his left hand to keep his arms up around him. "I had some trouble sleeping." He said, hoping that Viktor wouldn't ask more. He didn't want to tell him that he stressed about his birthday. He would just probably say that he didn't want anything as a present or he didn't have to worry about it. But Yuri was that kind of a person, he always wanted to give everyone a present, he was kind and he wanted go remember everyone's birthdays and have fun with them. The only bad thing about it was that he stressed a lot. Especially when it was someone who he cared about, he wanted to give them the perfect birthday present.
Frustrated. He was frustrated. He placed down the piping bag he had in hand and swiped some sweat off his forehead leaving a white line of frosting. His mother came in and looked at the cake he had in front of him on the counter.
"It looks good. Don't worry, I know he will like it. You worry too much."
Yuri licked his thumb clean and nodded quietly. Then he took a tiny black skate her sister had done and placed it carefully on the cake.
Then he headed towards his room where Viktor was still sleeping. He opened the door and instantly Maccachin came towards him.
"No, do not jump against my legs now, boy. You don't want your daddy's cake to get ruined, right?" Yuri said quietly and Maccachin sat down.
"Happy birthday, Viktor!" Yuri shouted. Viktor jumped slightly and lifted up his head from the pile of pillows he had. A look of surprise rose on his face and soon faded into a smile.
"You really shouldn't have.." Viktor laughed and stared at the cake Yuri was carrying. "No complaining now. I want you to have an amazing birthday."
He placed the cake down on his bedside table and sat on the bed to hug Viktor. "Stay still." Viktor said and pushed him away. "What..?" Viktor leaned forward and licked his forehead. "Mm, delicious." He said and licked the last bit of frosting that was still left.
"Why didn't you just cover yourself in frosting? Why did you make a cake when you could have done that." Viktor said in a low tone and peeked at Yuri through his hair.
"Umm.."
Yuri was unable to speak. Somewhere in his mind he thought that it would have been nice, feeling Viktor touch him while licking off the frosting.
"Don't you dare say you got me a present. I said I don't need anything."
"Uhh... I will give it to you in the evening.. after we have gone to the hot spring." Yuri said and took a knife to cut the cake.
"You are so cute." Viktor laughed when Yuri gave him a piece of the cake and a spoon.
The water felt so good in the gold air as they sat right next to each other in a beautiful silence. Only thing that could be heard was their synchronised breathing. Yuri's heart pounded in his chest, he was sure Viktor could hear it.
He was building up confidence to tell Viktor about the present he had chosen for him.
After a while Viktor sighed and pulled Yuri closer. He opened his eyes and looked at him. He looked somewhat troubled even though his expression was quite relaxed.
"What's troubling you?" He asked softly and groped his hair.
Yuri breathed in. He had to say it. Now or never. "So about that present..." he started and opened his eyes.
"I didn't come up with anything else so.. um.. I decited I am going to give myself as a present to you."
Viktor stared at him puzzled. "But.. I already have you. You are here with me, that's all I can ask for. I don't need you as a present, I already have you." Viktor whispered and wrapped his other arm around Yuri to hug him. The water splashed quietly as he did it.
"I mean.. I thought.. you'd.. get it... Like I thought that would.. pop into your mind right away when I said that.. I..." Yuri said, his voice shivering.
Viktor's eyes widened. "Do not materialize yourself like that." He said somewhat disappointed. "I won't do anything like that if you don't want to."
"But I thought it was.. a good idea."
"Do you really want it?" Viktor whispered into his ear. Yuri nodded. Viktor placed his fingers under his chin and lifted up his head very gently. "Then just tell me. I'm disappointed. I hoped you wouldn't materialize yourself like that. It does not work for me that way." He said.
"But it was the only way I was able to say it.. otherwise I would have been too embarraced."
Viktor smiled and kissed his softly. "I understand.."
Yuri felt warmth spreading throughout his body as their lips touched.
Viktor pulled Yuri tightly against him, gently squeesing him. He buryed his nose in his black hair and whispered.
"Thank you."
