Chapter 2
Our Apartment.
As Viktor drove through the city to his apartment, Yuuri looked out the window and was admiring all the different buildings they passed along the way. No wonder St. Petersburg is known as the city of palaces! He wondered as they passed yet another palace that was sitting next to the Neva River.
"That one is called the Hermitage Museum." Viktor said when he noticed Yuuri admiring it. "The museum has 6 buildings, the largest one id the winter palace. It's a quite interesting place to visit!"
"Really?" Yuuri turned to Viktor and smiled, "Now I'm living here maybe you should show me it sometime."
Viktor laughed, "Oh, so you're asking for a date again like you did In Barcelona, are you? We'll there definitely a lot of places I want to show you. That palace popular but there is so many-"
At that point another vehicle drove in front of Viktor and went silent.
"Viktor?" Yuuri tried to get his attention.
Viktor grumbled, "That man completely cut me off…"
Yuuri nodded, "Yeah I saw. He should be more careful-" Yuuri stopped midsentence and went wide eyed. Viktor face held malicious glare, his nostrils flared as he looked at the vehicle with flaming eyes. Well, that's a face I've never seen before!
"He. Will. Pay…" Viktor said in a low, vengeful voice.
"V-Viktor?" Yuuri called again. But without saying another word, Viktor slammed his foot on the gas. The car went full speed and Yuuri's entire body was pushed back against his seat, "Viktor!"
His fiancé wasn't listening, "I'LL SHOW YOU, YOU IDIOTIC*****" Viktor at that point was speaking Russian as he shouted out his window.
Yuuri gripped the cushion of his seat as his body was swung back and forth, "Viktor I'm pretty sure we are over the speed limit!" He tried to get his attention but he wouldn't listen. Yuuri's life flashed before his eyes. That's it. I'm dead at 24. Good bye mother and father, it was nice knowing you.
At that moment, the man in the vehicle ahead stuck his hand out the car window some sort of gesture. Viktor gasped as his face heated up with anger. "OH IT IS ON!"
Viktor picked up speed- Yuuri didn't even think that was possible- and bolted towards the man.
"VIIIIIIIIIKTOOOOOOOR!" Yuuri cried as they drove all the way to apartment.
It felt like sweet relief to Yuuri when Viktor finally parked inside the parkade of his apartment. He stepped out of Viktor's car, his legs wobbling when they touched the ground. Note to self: Never get in vehicle with Viktor…. He noted.
"That will show him." Viktor huffed as he closed the car door. He turned to Yuuri. "Yuuri? What's wrong with you? You're shaking."
"Oh nothing…" Yuuri started, "I was just remembering that as a child I was always terrified of roller coasters…" His body trembled as he looked up at Viktor, "But thanks to you, I think I am now over that fear."
Viktor tilted his head, confused by what Yuuri was talking about, "I don't know what I did, but you're welcome?" A huge smile then appeared on his face, "But anyway Yuuri, I'm excited to show you my apartment!" He hurried to the trunk but stopped and turned to Yuuri with an amorous smile, "Oh sorry, I mean OUR apartment." He winked, making Yuuri's cheeks heat up.
Each of them took some luggage and then went up the elevator and rode to the top floor to the apartment.
"The apartment is on the top floor," Viktor said, "It has an amazing view and it's fairly quiet so you won't have to worry about it being disturbed…"
Yuuri nodded, only half listening to Viktor as he trekked behind him. His body was becoming heavy and the adrenaline rush he got from first he first arriving and Viktor's insane driving was starting to wear off.
"And here we are!" They stopped at a door. After Viktor opened it, Makkachin ran into the house and jumped on the couch that Yuuri could see in the corner of the doorway. Viktor sighed, "Oh you silly dog, you were supposed to let Yuuri in first." He said, making Makkachin tilt his head. He turned back to Yuuri and smiled as he stepped aside, raising his arm into the air proudly so Yuuri could see. "Welcome to our new home Yuuri!"
Yuuri blinked before stepping into the apartment, taking a look around. From the door he could see the living room and the kitchen that had an island table in the middle. There was another door next to the entrance and another one by the kitchen. This is really different then what I imagined Viktor's apartment to look like. Yuuri thought. His heart skipped a beat. But now, it's our apartment.
He removed his coat and shoes and stepped inside to get a better look when he noticed the large window just pasted the couch. He walked up to it and was awed at what he saw. Like Viktor said, there was an amazing view of the city. Yuuri could see the top of the Hermitage museum and many of the buildings and shops. The sun, which was now starting to set, reflected off the Neva River, making red ripples in the water.
"It's beautiful, isn't Yuuri?" Viktor said to him from behind, who was just hanging his coat up.
"Yeah it's amazing, Viktor." Yuuri agreed, not taking his eyes off the view.
Viktor walked up to Yuuri and stood next to him, looking out the window as well. "When we were living in Japan, this view was something I definitely missed."
"Yeah, no kidding. We don't have views like this in Hasetsu."
"But now with you, the view is even better." Viktor said.
Yuuri turned towards Viktor, who was smiling at him with affectionate eyes. He blushed and his heart beat quickly as stared longer into each other's eyes. Viktor put his arm around Yuuri's back and pulled him closer. He placed his hand under his chin and lifted his head towards him.
"Because now, I get to enjoy this beautiful view with the one I love and that's something I'm going to look forward to experiencing with you every day." Viktor then leaned in and tenderly kissed him on the lips.
Yuuri's face flushed as Viktor kissed him and held him close. When he was done the two men stared into each other's eyes. A small smile crept on Yuuri's face. I love him so much. He thought.
Everything was suddenly starting to sink in for Yuuri. Starting today, Yuuri would get to do everything with Viktor. The thought alone made Yuuri's heart flutter with excitement. Every day, from waking up in the morning to enjoying the sunset, from working on figure skating routines to simply relaxing, no matter what little day to day thing it was, Yuuri now gets to experience them with Viktor, the man he loved, in their apartment.
