Yuri's Pov

  ◈ ◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈◈ 

The instant I hit the cold, hard ice, I felt the pain run throughout my whole body.

"Ughh...." I groaned inadvertently as I laid there on the ice, waiting for the pain to subside.

10 minutes

20 minutes...I waited, but the throbbing sensation that I felt within every muscle and fibre of my body wouldn't stop hurting.

" What if I'm stuck here?" I thought to myself. I was all alone, and no one knew I was here. I didn't have my phone so I wouldn't even be able to contact any help. Any sign of another human being was nonexistent.

I didn't even know where I was.

"Crick" I heard the ice splinter and crack beneath me, making me shudder at the thought of what could, would happen next. Taking one deep breath after another, I tried to gain some composure.

"It's not that serious, Yuri. Just breathe," I chanted, willing myself to believe what I was saying, but I would be a fool if I didn't realize what was happening. On the inside I was terrified.

I could imagine myself slipping through the crack of ice.

 Imagine myself frantically gasping for air.

Imagine myself nearly drowning, right before Victor dives into the water to save me. 

I could imagine many things happening. But reality is so much more different than how I imagine.

As I stared up into the ice, I felt a single tear roll down my cheek before freezing over on my face. And I wish I knew why I felt such despair; why I didn't even want to try. Maybe I just knew that I'd slowly die.

"Aaah!" I exclaimed breathlessly as I woke up in a cold sweat. Beside me, Victor held a small white cloth and was gently dabbing my forehead with it before placing it aside. As he ran a hand through my hair, I could see the worry and concern in his eyes.

"Yuri, tell me what happened," he soothed as he pulled me closer to him before rubbing my back tenderly.

Looking up into his glassy eyes, I could almost see a reflection of the pain I had felt just a few moments ago; I never wanted him to feel like that.

Closing my eyes, I reached out for his hand before I pressed a delicate kiss on his fingers. For as long as we've been together, Victor has been doing so much for me. Not one time did he ever let me throw in the towel or pity myself.

 Whenever he's around, all I ever wanted to do is make him proud. How selfish would it be if I brought up my nightmare? 

He would comfort me, but it would also fill him with depression and sadness for me. I needed to let him know that I'm stronger than my nightmares.

Opening my eyes, I moved my hands up his chest before meeting his lips with my own. "I'm better. I didn't mean to worry you. Just stay here with me, ok?" I reassured him as I felt his hand reach up to caress my face.

"I'll always be here. You know that." he replied as he returned my smile. Pulling me onto his lap, I once more felt his endearing lips on my own, and was swept away from all the negative feelings and scary thoughts I had. 

Being with him,I could never feel like this wasn't where I belonged; Victor was my home. Just as he was about to take off my shirt, I heard a muffled cough and smiled as Victor kissed my forehead before pulling my shirt back down.

"Boys, why don't you ever call call me to come play with you?" Chris pouted playfully as he scrambled onto my bed. Kissing my cheek, Chris laid down on my left, so I laid down with him. Chris must have noticed the wet cloth on the bedside table, because he turned over on his right and began running his hand up and down my chest in a comforting way.

"Yuri, is everything alright?"Chris asked with a hint of concern.

I'm alright," I smiled as I laid back down. Following in suit, Victor moved as close to me as he could before draping his arms around me. 

Chris, eager to join the 'game', laid down and rested his arm on my chest before pecking my lips only just. Of course that made me go all flustered,but I guess that's how you play the game. Looking over at him,I smirked. He was a total catch and he knew it. 

Sighing,I looked back over at Victor, who had dozed off beside me. Closing my eyes, just before I drifted back to sleep, I heard Chris' voice whisper in my ear,

"You have no idea how amazing you are. We're going to show you, and then, you'll believe it."
