[1] Viktor's Apartment

[viktornikiforov]

A soft sigh left his lips as he set their bags down in his apartment in Russia. Everything was as he asked his maid to leave it, dust covers on couches, bed, and tables. It felt weird to come in without his fluffy brown friend jumping on him and licking his face when he entered. He flicked on the lights and moved to the side so Yuuri could come in. "Make yourself at home, I just need to remove the dust covers."

Viktor bit his lips as he waited for the other to situate himself in his home. It felt weird since their last competition. The sensation of the other's lips against his while the whole world watched was still there.

Prior to this, they fooled around a few times but it was always nothing serious. It was only a few kisses here and a few cuddling sessions there. But it was always really brief and they never spoke about it. Unfortunately for Viktor, he became more and more attached to him each time. The logical part of him wanted to stop since it had an impact on his coaching, but the emotional side of him wanted to make him his own.

Snapping back to reality, he shook his head a little and opened his mouth to say something but stopped. This was too soon. They just got here. He should at least give the younger boy a chance to settle in and rest. It wasn't like Yuri got much rest from being stressed out. "If you want to take a bath, let me set it up for you. It's nothing like the hot springs you have at home. But it's still hot so you can relax your muscles"

Viktor held his hand firmly in his own. He started at the restaurant once again, still pointing out some of the places he liked to go. "I want to take you to St. Petersburg before we leave Russia, Yuuri." he started, "Remember on the beach, after the first time we got into a small tiff? I told you that I used to wake up to the sound of seagulls and it reminded me of home?" holding his hand a little tighter. "I want to show you that place."

Once they were at the restaurant, he quickly covered Yuuri's eyes so he didn't see the windows just yet. "Just stay like this for a little, I want this to be a surprise for you." he whispered against his ear. When the hostess came to greet him, he asked for a window seat.

Carefully, he maneuvered the boy to where they were being seated. When they were close enough, he pulled his hands back so that Yuuri could see all of Moscow, lit up at night. "This is my home country, Yuuri."

"I'd really like to see it too," Yuuri answered honestly, glad that Viktor was so willing to show him so many places of his past.

He got to learn so many things and it was a blessing. Yuuri wanted to know everything. "I can't wait to see it," he added. "It sounds wonderful!"

He started when they arrived near the restaurant and Viktor covered his eyes. He hadn't expected it in the least and he was desorientated for a moment. But he found soon enough that, unlike before, it didn't unsettle him. He trusted Viktor too much to be uncomfortable by the latter's actions.

So he went along with it, kinda enjoying the waiting for such a surprise. He did his best not to stumble anywhere as Viktor guided him, considering how clumsy Yuuri was. But Viktor did a great job and Yuuri got to their seat safe and sound.

When he was freed, he opened his eyes - he'd closed them not to cheat - and was left speechless by the view the windows had to offer. Immediately, he reached for the glass and looked down in awe at the breathtaking scene displayed before him.

"Viktor, this is beautiful!" he breathed, unable to tear his eyes away.
