Chapter 20

A/n: sorry, this came out as 950 words when I usually do over 1,000. Kinda short, forgive me :)

•••
I walk out of the bathroom after changing into some actual clothes and walk back into the living room, shocked when I see an already asleep Viktor on the couch.

Wow, was he really that tired?

I walk over to where he's laying and smile, running my pointer finger down his jawline. I then gently leave a kiss on his forehead and walk into the kitchen, trying to see if Viktor left out the so called "note" he mentioned. I blush at the thought of it but then notice it on the table. I walk over to it and pick it up, scanning my eyes over the words.

"We'll be out today, stay safe."

Is all it says. My eyebrows furrow in confusion at the words.

Stay safe? What?

"Yuri.." Viktor groans quietly, walking up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. He rests his chin on my shoulder and I smile softly, placing the note back on the table.

"What is it, Viktor?" I say, turning my head and planting a kiss on his nose. He smiles and a light pink crosses his cheeks.

"I wanna cuddle more." He says, sighing. I chuckle lightly and lean back into his hold.

"Shouldn't we practice today, Viktor?" I whisper. His grasp onto me becomes tighter and I sigh, then turning around and looking into his tired blue eyes.

"Let's skip today." He pouts. I let out a laugh and let my eyes fall closed, resting my forehead on his.

"Sure. But tomorrow we need to get back to it." I say. I feel him laugh and he hugs me to him. My heartbeat gradually grows faster but I barely even notice it over the happiness and warmth I'm feeling.

Suddenly I feel him lift me off the ground and he holds me bridal style, walking towards the couch. A large blush covers my face and I start to lightly punch at his chest.

"V-viktor.. I can walk.." I say. He laughs and then smiles down at me.

"No, I like this more."

I groan in defeat. "B-but I'm heavy.."

He then puts me down on the couch and hovers his body over top of mine into a straddling position. He stares deep into my eyes and I stare back.

"You are not heavy, Yuri."

My eyes widen at his low tone and I seal my lips closed, looking away from his burning gaze.

"Y-yes I am.."

"No, Yuri. I swear you're not." He says, lowering himself over top of me a little bit. I continue to look away but after a few seconds meet his eyes.

"You don't have to lie just to make me happy." I say, whispering. I feel a lump form in my throat but try my best to hold it down.

I know how disgusting I am, after all.

"Yuri," he purrs. "Lying is the last thing I'd do to you."

My breath hitches in my throat at his words and my eyes fall closed. "I know. I-I'm sorry." I say.

"Why do you think I'm lying, my dear?" He asks, gently caressing the side of my face with his thumb. I open my eyes and can't stop myself when a silent tear falls out of one.

"B-because.." I whisper. "I'm so used to be called out for my weight and flaws. I don't know what to do with myself now that you're telling me otherwise." I finish, more tears falling down the sides of my face. He shows a sad expression and then lowers himself, kissing underneath one of my eyes to get rid of the tears. He comes back up and uses his fingers to make all the other ones vanish.

"Yuri, please don't cry." He says. "When you cry, my entire world falls apart."

I bite my bottom lip to stop myself from crying harder at his words and he rests his head on my chest. "Yuri, I'm serious, okay? You're as flawless as an angel. You're my flawless angel."

I put my arms around his back and let more silent tears fall.

"Am I really?" I ask.

"Yes. I promise." He whispers. I kiss the top of his head that's rested on my chest and I can feel him smile against my the fabric of my tight shirt.

"Thank you, Viktor."

"My pleasure."

It falls silent for a couple minutes before Viktor finally speaks up.

"You're heartbeat calms me." He says. I smile and place my palm on the top of his head, gently running my fingers through his gorgeous hair.

"You calm me." I say in response. It falls silent for a few moments before I feel him lightly laugh against my chest.

"Well, that was cheesy." He teases. My face heats up in embarrassment and I groan.

"I'm sorry," I say playfully. We both laugh and then go quiet again. He takes his head off my chest and then lays down next to me, bringing me closer to his body.

"Come here, Yuri." He says. I smile and nuzzle into his neck, wrapping my arms around his back.

"You're really warm, Viktor." I say quietly.

"Probably because of how happy I am." He responds, causing me to giggle.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy."

He laughs and rests his chin on the top of my head, rubbing my back with his hand.

"You better be, since you're the reason."

I smile against his neck and bite my lip, trying to somewhat contain my happiness.

"You're my happiness as well, Viktor." I say. "And I'm glad it didn't turn out to be anyone else."

And just like that, we both fell asleep, without even a care in the world.
