It was in the middle of the night. The full moon was glowing and reflected light through the bedroom window. It was beautiful.

Victor was sound asleep, yet Yuri kept tossing and turning.

He kept having doubts if his leg will heal in time, and if it does, what if it happens again?

Yuri shoved his face into his pillow and sighed.

A few minutes later, Yuri got up to get some water. He put on his glasses and grabbed his crutches. He tried to be as quiet as possible though he knew the floors were creaky regardless.

He went to the kitchen, took one step,

then fell.

Terrified about what was going to happen next, nothing bad really happened, except Victor hearing the large bang and waking up.

Being startled, his heart was beating 130 beats per minute.

Victor's immediate action was to go to the bang as quick as possible.

He ran into the kitchen and saw Yuri wincing on the ground.

"Yuri!!! Are you alright??"

"Yeah, sorry about waking you-"

"Don't worry about me!! What happened?!" Victor emotionally crouched down to Yuri's level.

"It's nothing, I'm fine.. My crutches just got caught on one of Makkachin's toys on the ground, that's all."

Yuri noticed Victor's amount of concern and emotion. He had noticed how much Victor was worked up about it, since the accident and the hospital too.

"Do you need help getting up?" Victor offered.

"I'm fine!" Yuri shouted. He soon realized his tone in his voice and regretted it.

Victor's head slightly tilted down. He silently poured Yuri his cup of water and set it down for him.

On the way back to bed, Victor kicked the little toy out of the way in aggression.

Yuri and Victor both stared at the ceiling in bed. It was silent for a few minutes, until Yuri spoke.

"Why are you so worried about me? It's nothing, really.. I can handle it myself."

"I'm sorry, Yuri. It's- the first time that I experienced anything like this. I don't really know how to react and that's why I'm always in concern for you."

Yuri turned and looked at Victor.

"I understand that, and thanks for your concern. But you need to know that I know what I'm doing."

Victor nodded in agreement. "Alright."

The next morning, Victor woke up first.  He looked at the beautiful sunrise, which was twinkling through the drapes like a scene of Heaven's light. His silvery hair glowed like pure platinum.

He got out of Yuri's grasp and walked out the door to enjoy the view for a while.

Meanwhile, Yuri got up, not even thinking about anything.

This caused him to forget about grabbing his crutches.

He soon realized he forgot them, but surprisingly...

He didn't fall. He could stand on his own.

"What?! I can stand?! Oh my god!"
He ran, looking for Victor, then spotted him outside.

He burst out the door and Victor turned.

"Hey Yu- wait.. Oh my god!!"
He lifted Yuri and held him in the air, slowly turning with happiness. He put him down and had a smile on his face.

"This means I can try skating again!" Yuri cheered.

Victor grabbed Yuri and squeezed him tightly. They were both filled with joy, and were excited for the soon-to-be eventful day.
