Yuuri laid motionless on his bed; looking up at the ceiling.
    Today had not been a good day for Katsuki Yuuri.  In fact this entire month hadn't been going his way.  Lately, his father has been in and out of the hospital due to heart problems and recently, the heating system in in the small inn had broke.  Mr. Katsuki had always been the one to manage the expenses and income for Yu-topia Katsuki but with him being so ill and both Mrs. Katsuki and Mari being below average in math, the job had fallen onto the shoulders of Yuuri.  Yuuri isn't bad at math, in fact, he is actually quite adept at it, however, between ice skating practice, taking care of his father, and having to constantly lie to everyone that he is completely fine, the stress eventually consumed him.  Yuuri ended up accidentally messing up more than a couple of calculations which lead to him spending more money on heating system than they could afford.  They weren't in debt or anything, but he did have to cut into the money the family spends on food for the inn in order to pay for the repairs.  To make things worse, all the stress has begun to take a toll on his health and skating; two things that an ice skater can't afford to be concerned with right before Nationals. Things could be worse of course, but that still didn't prevent Yuuri from beating himself up about the whole thing.
    A soft knock was heard from the door of Yuuri's bedroom, but Yuuri was too distraught to care at this point. After a few moments of silence the person behind the door opens it slightly.
    "Yuuri?" A soft, familiar voice calls out.  Yuuri doesn't even to bother to look over to the silver haired man that he calls his boyfriend as he enters the room.  "I see you still have the posters up."  Victor says with a light chuckle; a failed attempt on his part to lighten up the mood.  When Yuuri doesn't respond he resorts to poking his sides.  At this, Yuuri simply rolls over to his side without a word; his back now facing Victor.  Victor lets out a soft sigh as he sits himself down on the side of Yuuri's bed.  "So how long are you planning on keeping this up for?"  Again, his only response is silence.  Another sigh.  "Come on Yuuri, you can't just lie here forever."  Victor places one of his pale hands on Yuuri's shoulder; only for him to shrug it off.  "Yuuri....." He looks down; bangs shadowing his face.  "Please....  I want to help you.... But I can't if you don't let me.... please Yuuri.... It hurts me seeing you like this so please, just let me help you........"
In one quick motion Victor finds himself enveloped in the arms of his Japanese lover.
"Yuuri?"
"Just.... Just hold me... please...." In a quiet and strained voice Yuuri manages to get out this last plea before he bursts into tears.  Victor is shocked for a moment, but as that fades he immediately hugs the smaller frame of his lover tight to his chest as Yuuri sobs into his shoulder.  "Victor.... I'm so scared...." Yuuri admits in the midst of his tears.
Pulling him in tighter Victor responds in a quiet, soothing voice, "I know, I know.... but it will be ok....  Because I'm here with you."

If anyone is feeling in the dark right now,
I urge you to keep on fighting.
The darkness doesn't last forever and everything happens for a reason.
In our lowest points we must have faith, enjoy the little moments, and learn to love ourselves,
No matter how hard that may be.
Please remember,
Even if it feels as if the whole world is against you,
There will always be at least one person there to fight by your side.
If anyone needs someone to talk to my Private Message is always open.
Stay strong lovelies. :)
