Victor's Pov

Snuggled up in a brown and black Louis Vuitton blanket, Chris's head was nestled right below my shoulder as we watched a random movie on his flat screen tv.

"Victor, I know that you'd never expect me to ask this," Chris said suddenly, breaking the peaceful quiet. "but what made you want to come here? I know that you had already made plans with Yuri, and that he strongly depends on you. If you had wanted,you could have remained in Russia, but you didn't. I-l...." Chris stuttered.

Placing a finger on his lips to cut him off, I brushed his hair back in an attempt to ease his worrying.

"I could give you a couple of reasons, Chris. Our connection compelled me, I knew that if I didn't come,I would eventually become afraid for you, and of course, my ever enduring feelings for you. Chris,there is no length of ocean nor vast plain that could ever keep me from you. I won't deny, Yuri and I were in the midst of training, but that doesn't mean I'm not in control of I want to do, and what I need to do; Yuri understands that. We go way back Chris. At one point there was even a time....."

Before I could go on,it was Chris's turn to tease my lips with his long,elegant fingers.

"Does he know?" Chris smiled curiously.

For a minute, I turned my head toward the room where Yuri was sleeping.

"I think he suspects, but I've never directly mentioned it," I replied as I looked back at Chris.

"You do know that you'll have to tell him sooner or later," he mused.

Sighing, I wrapped my arms around Chris's robust frame and closed my eyes, signaling that I just wanted to sleep right then.

"I prefer later."

Chris's Pov

As I opened my eyes the next morning, I instantly stretched out in search for Victor,only to turn up empty. 'When did I go to my room? Why don't I remember coming here?' I pondered to myself. Shrugging my shoulders, I walked to my bathroom before splashing water on my face then entering into the shower. After I was done, I put on a sweater and dark blue sweatpants. I also put on a pair of trainers before leaving my room to look for Victor. Knocking lightly on his door, I pushed it open just a bit to peek in, but surprisingly, he wasn't there. Heading over to Yuri's room, I didn't bother knocking,but slowly entered. Snoring softly, Yuri was definitely fast asleep. Sitting on the edge of his bed, I lightly brushed my hand against his face. When I noticed his eyes scrunch up, I knew that he was awake now.

"Yuri, I went to Victor's room, but he wasn't there. Where do you think he could have gone?"

"Mmh.....why did you wake me up?" Yuri groaned, turning over so he could go back to sleep.

"Yuri, I'm serious. What if he's lost somewhere? What if--Aahhh!" I exclaimed as Yuri pulled me into bed with him and recovered us with a duvet. "Where do you think he went?" Yuri mumbled, still slightly upset about being woke up. "Maybe he just went to get coffee,"he reasoned.

"I guess," I complied, not totally sure of whether to stay inside or not. After a minute or two of debating with myself, I got out of Yuri's bed and left his room. After slinging a bag over my shoulder, I was just about to leave my loft when I ran into Victor holding a tray of coffees.

"Hi," I said, almost like I was in a trance.

"Were you going out for a jog?"Victor asked smugly as he set down the coffee and food he had bought. Fondling his hand in my own, Victor lightly pressed a kiss on my cheek before sitting down at the island.

"It's good to see you too, Chris."
