Yuuri's Pov

It's been months now Makkachin was released from the hospital and was alright; Victor, Yurio, and I were all able to proceed with ice skating.

Victor was even able to coach both of us, and even though Yurio and I were meant to compete against each other we still stayed together never actually staring a fight.

Victor and I built up our relationship, the day he came back from Russia he made sure that we both let the world know that we were dating. At first, I was pretty terrified to hear the responses of many people, but most of them were happy for us. Some even cheered us on during the competitions, the cameras and lights still scare me at times, but Victor is always by my side now never leaving me alone.

I think he's still scared of losing me, I always tell him that I will not go anywhere without him, but by the way he holds me tight at night and mumbles my name in his sleep tells me that he is still anxious. Angela was wiped away from our worry list, she never hurt Yurio again and strayed away each time we walked by her in the streets, but that'll soon change.

I came out second in the Grand Prix final, and Yurio was first winning gold. We both broke Victor's world record I really thought he would be upset, but he congratulated us and told us he was proud that the people he loved were able to surpass him. After the finals, I've been thinking a lot lately.

I'm at a jewelry store at the moment my heart is racing and my anxiety is at its peak, the cashier carefully hands me a small black box and smiles kindly at me giving me a thumbs up. "Good luck!" She grinned, I smiled and thanked her for the encouragement. I texted Victor earlier telling him to meet me at the ice rink, I was so terrified, but I knew what I wanted.

As I walked out of the store I placed the box in my pocket and took deep breathes to calm myself, I couldn't calm myself enough, I was so anxious. I wondered what Victor's response would be, maybe it's too early? What if he's not ready? What if I'm not ready? Would this cause drama within the fan base? Would haters rage?

I groaned at the many questions my head ached painfully I was too stressed, too scared. I didn't know what to do or how to start it out I was beginning to have doubts, but I knew Victor would be waiting for me to arrive and I can't let him down. I nodded to myself and bit my lip, a very annoying habit of mine.

I had to stop myself I didn't want to break the skin if I bled Victor would start worrying and ask many questions. I needed to calm myself down, I can't let my anxiety take over me again, I can't ruin this. I straightened my back and dusted off my shirt even though there was literally nothing on it, I was getting too anxious. Too paranoid.

As I walked I came across many fans and cameras I tried my best to keep my composure, I had told Yuuko including all my friends about my plan and they all wished me good luck and gave me hope Yuuko even made sure the rink was empty and that no cameras were there to disrupt our special moment. I smiled, my friends and family were counting on me to do my best, I was not going to let anyone down.

Finally, the moment had come. My heart pounds hard against my chest and sweat forms on my forehead my lips suddenly feel dry, and my legs feel heavy with each step I take towards the rink. I ball my hands into fists and open the glass doors, a cold gush of air hits my face and I take in a breath.

The box in my pocket feels heavy now and it seems to be weighing me down like a ball and chain wrapped around my ankle, I practically drag my feet. I see Victor on the ice doing spins and jumps, he's absolutely flawless. I swallow thickly and enter into the rink where I can now clearly hear the skates scraping against the ice smoothly leaving faint lines on the ice in their tracks. He still hasn't noticed my presence. Good.

I go to the locker room and grab my own skates I slip off my shoes and replace them with the skates, I wobble back to the rink and before stepping onto the ice I remove the rubber guards. And finally I'm on the ice gliding toward Victor, we meet eyes and he smiles at me. God I love that smile so much it melts my heart and before I know it I'm smiling too.

We both skate with each other, our bodies move on their own like they were trained for this. We've never pair skated before, but it feels like a natural instinct. It feels so...right. My body sways and turns with my natural Eros and Victor is hot on my trail, his own Eros taking over him. He skates behind me taking a hold of my waist, I turn around and our faces are mere inches apart.

I'm lifted from the ground he holds me up with strong steady hands and I smile down at him. When he puts me down I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a loving kiss his hands still grip onto my waist and I pull him closer still kissing him until we pull away for oxygen. We breathe heavily for a moment and then end up laughing. "That was amazing Yuuri!" He exclaimed happily I return the bright smile. "You were amazing too." And I just hold him for a while.

But, he suddenly pulls away and clears his throat. I'm utterly confused, he's blushing hard and it's beautiful mixing in with his pale skin I can't help but giggle at him. He takes a breath, and what he does shocks me.

He goes down on one knee.

I have to cover my mouth to hold in the cry, he beat me to it! Tears fill my eyes blurring my vision. "Yuuri Katsuki..." He starts.

"I have been a lonely man since I was a child, but the moment I met you my whole world changed. You have given me the most amazing thing I have been neglecting for so long, love." He looks at me with tears in his own eyes. "So..." He pulls out a small box from his pocket and opens it in front of me, my heart is going crazy.

"Will you please stay with me from now on? And become my loving husband for life?" He asks, and I definitely don't hesitate to answer. "Yes! Yes, Victor of course!" I shout and hug him tight, he hugs me back and I sob into his shoulder. "Yuuri what's wrong?" He asks worriedly. "It's just.." I sniff and pull away pulling out the box from my pocket. "You beat me to it." I laugh and wipe away my tears.

I open the box and he gasps. "Yuuri look!" He grabs both rings and engraved inside the rings are tiny snowflake halves, and when he puts the rings together they make a whole snowflake. I smile, he takes a hold of my hand and slides the ring onto my ring finger, and I happily do the same to him. We both smile at each other and I hug him tight, I am finally happy.

I am complete.

-------------------------------------------------------

I smile at Victor who sleeps soundly at my side his arm is draped over my waist, it's been about two years now. I'm living with Victor in Barcelona, and I couldn't be any happier.

Victor wants to start a family soon and I promised him I would give him a family as soon as I could, I just didn't think he'd want one so quick. Well...

I can keep it as a secret for now. And then surprise him.

It's been so long now, Yurio is visiting his boyfriend Otabek, they did some pretty crazy stuff on the ice. They're crazy for each other, and Yurio is so clingy. He's definitely been through a lot too, so I'm glad he finally has someone with him.

Victor mumbles my name in his sleep and scoots closer to me burying his face in the blankets, I run my hand through his hair and smile. I'm saved because of him, without him I would probably be gone, wiped from existence.

But I'm not, I'm a new person. I now go by the name Yuuri Katsuki Nikiforov, and Victor goes by the same. We each wanted to have each other's last name, and it does have a nice ring to it. I love it.

I'm happy, I'm no longer on thin ice. I'm on a strong steady rink with Victor by my side, and soon I'll have another person to stand by my side too, I just hope Victor doesn't get too jealous. He was the one who asked for it first.

I just can't wait to see what our new life will throw at us...well whatever it is.

I'm ready for it, with the people who support and love me by my side. I'm no longer lost, I'm strong.

I'm strong...
