Yuri's Pov

On our way back to Hasetsu, Victor talked nonstop about all the shots he got to take, how incredible all the clothes were, and how relieved everyone was that he was returning back to the ice. I know people don't do this intentionally, but last time I checked, I wasn't the one that took Victor away; he came to me. Why is it that everyone I encounter makes it something it's not? I'll be glad when Victor starts competing again, maybe all this will finally blow over. 

Until then, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Victor must have noticed my expression, because I felt his hand cover mine. 

"Yuri, what's the matter? You've been too quiet. Talk to me."
Not wanting the taxi driver to overhear, I simply told him that I would talk to him about later. 

Once we got to the house, we made a run for it through the pouring rain and nearly tripped over each other. Fortunately, it stopped raining shortly and we went to relax in the hot spring. Once we were settled, Victor faced me. 

      Maybe I'm just letting this get to my head,but I don't want Victor to think I'm not happy for him. Of course I am, even if I don't have a very good way of showing it. What do I say?
Holding me by the back of my neck, he rubbed small circles into my back with his other hand as he waited for my response .
"Yuri, I can tell when you have something on your mind. It must have something to do with what I said in the taxi."
Breaking eye contact, I knew I had answered him without even saying anything.
"Now I know. It's because people blame you for me taking a break. Yuri, this is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Not only did  do you see ice skating with renewed perspective, but your with me now, something I'm grateful for everyday," he assured me. Forcing me to meet his eyes, they softened. 

"I found you, in the least likely of places. Let all this speculation be the farthest thing from your mind. I'm not worried about it, why should you?" Releasing me, Victor got out and wrapped himself in a towel before returning to the house. Maybe Victor has a point, I just wish I could let it go that easy. Climbing out of the water, I wrapped myself in a towel and retreated to my room. 

Getting dressed, I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in," I answered just as I pulled a beige sweatshirt over my head.
"Yuri, could you come to my room for a minute?"
"Sure, I'll be right there." Turning my phone off and fixing the laces on my sweats, I retreated to Victor's room.

Victor's Pov

As the sun set outside, I returned to my bedroom. Sitting down on my bed,  my eyes went over every aspect of the little room. There were no pictures on the walls, no windows, not a single sound. I didn't need these things, though. All I needed was Yuri, everything else could wait. 

When he showed up, he gave me this look, as if asking why I wanted to speak to him. But that's just it, there was nothing to say.

 For a long time I've wanted to give him something, something he's never had...felt before. I never doubted that his consent wouldn't be there, the only thing that held me back were the insecurities he had. 

Now that I've gotten to know him better, I l know what his limits are, I know how much he can handle; I can't afford to  break him.  Closing the door, Yuri sat beside me, his chocolate eyes full of wonder; so innocent.

Moving slowly towards him, I raised my hand to his left cheek, caressing it. "Victor?" I could tell that Yuri still hadn't caught on, so I pulled him closer to me. Looking down at him, I pulled his hair gently, and kissed him. I could feel Yuri move in sync with me, and felt him wrap his arms around me. Holding his back with my other hand, I let it slip under his sweatshirt so I could feel his skin against my fingers. As I did so, I felt Yuri's hands move up to hold my face. 

As Yuri slowly descended towards my pillow, he took me with him, never letting me go. Straddling him now, I moved from his lips to his neck, placing feathery kisses up and down. I would never want to hurt him, so I knew I had to be gentle.

 Laying beside him, I kissed him one last time as I held him to my chest. Holding his head in the crook of my neck, I could hear his whispery pants against me. "Yuri, you're the only one that knows my heart, you're the only one that can satisfy me." Yuri will know eros one day, but not today.
