Victor cried for the second time that day after reading Eunice's story. Despite the rare possibility, it could happen. He imagined himself with his special other, holding hands and stealing kisses 24/7.

Just then, a new article popped up at the top of the website. Its simplicity earned a yawn from the Russian until he saw the picture. It made his entire being do a quadruple loop.

Under the short paragraph, in all of its winter glory, was a snowflake that matched his own.

He read the paragraph again, absorbing each word until he could recite it by heart, falling deeply in love with the white snowflake on lightly tanned skin.

No Two Snowflakes are Alike, That's What People Say by PorkCutletBowl\(^3^)/

That saying better not be jinxing my chance to find my soul mate before I die, haha :D

If you want to prove that saying wrong, please send me an email at katsudonewithyou@yeahright.com

After posting on the website, Yūri kept refreshing the page to see if anyone responded. He opened a new tab and logged in to his personal email, just in case.

To his surprise, he received an email from [email protected]

However strange the email address was, it somehow reminded Yūri of someone. A famous person at that.

It was only after he read the email that he knew the real identity of Vodka Nick Fuckoff.

I guess I'll get straight to the point. No need for formalities and such.

I have the same mark as you. I want to arrange a meeting with you, whoever you are, wherever you might be.

Tell me your name, address and maybe some personal details so that I can plan my trip to visit you.

PS Do tell me how long you have left.

Your beloved,
Victor Nikiforov

Victor Nikiforov. Vodka Nick Fuckoff. Yūri chuckled at how creative his idol truly is. He swiftly typed a reply in three minutes flat and reread the keywords. He added the last one as an afterthought.

Yuri Katsuki. 23 years old. Hasetsu, Japan. Six more days. I'm sorry.

The reply was just as fast.

Okay, thanks Yuri. I'll try to visit you as soon as possible. In the meantime, do you have any private social media we can use to communicate? Email is too old school and formal.

PS Don't be sorry. If fate wanted us to meet sooner, we would. But it wanted us to meet now. We should just go with the flow.

Victor groaned for the umpteenth time after trying to book a flight to Fukuoka. Apparently it was easier said than done as it was the cherry blossom season; tourists from all corners of the globe are trying to get to Japan to witness the flowers in full bloom.

The Russian gripped his platinum locks in frustration. He tried calming himself down by rereading his conversation with Yuri on Whatsapp.

Unknown number:
Hello Yuri!!! What are you doing right now?
⊂((・▽・))⊃

My Matching Snowflake:
I'm guessing you're Victor, right?

Unknown number:
No, I'm Victor Left.

My Matching Snowflake:
That only works in conversations where we face each other.

Vodka Nick Fuckoff <3:
Is that an invitation for a video call?
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)

My Matching Snowflake:
Goddammit Victor.

Vodka Nick Fuckoff <3:
That's why you love me~

My Matching Snowflake:
We quite literally just met an hour ago. Online.

Vodka Nick Fuckoff <3:
I AM your soul mate, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My Matching Snowflake:
(ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻

Fuck this shit. I'm out.

Vodka Nick Fuckoff:
NO! DON'T LEAVE ME! ლ(ಥ Д ಥ )ლ

I WILL DIE WITH YOU IF YOU LEAVE ME!

PLEASE!

My Matching Snowflake:
I'M KIDDING FFS

CUT THE DRAMA

I HATE DRAMA

Vodka Nick Fuckoff:
But you do love me, right?

My Snowflake:
No, I love you left.

Vodka Nick Fuckoff:
( · _ · )

My Matching Snowflake:
ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Vodka Nick Fuckoff:
<3

My Matching Snowflake:
(≧▽≦)

Anyway, it's late here in Japan. I'm going to sleep, okay?

Vodka Nick Fuckoff:
Okay! Sweet dreams, my snowflake <3

Victor decided to take a break from flight hunting. Out of pure curiosity, the Russian typed in his soul mate's name in the search bar.

Y-u-r-i K-a-t-s-u-k-i

Most of the results were just his social media sites. One, however, caught his eye.

It was an old news article site from the early 2010s. It was in Japanese, but with the near useless help of Gaggle Transnations, he managed to understand what the article was saying.

Attached at the bottom of the page was an old NoobTube video.
