Who Is He? / Viktuuri

Chapter 12

"Victor! Please don't leave me, I'm lost without you." My raspy voice just manages to say. I just spoke? How did I do that?! I still can't see, though, but I hear him stop dead in his tracks. Everything is quiet for a few seconds. Am I just imagining this, or did I just actually speak? Suddenly, I hear Victor burst into tears and run somewhere, and that place was me. He begins to shower me in kisses and tears, while repeating the same question.

"Marry me, Yuri, marry me." He says over and over again. I hear him rummage around in his pocket and pull something out, I don't know what though. So that was the question then? Would I marry him? Of course I will. He is the reason I am still alive right now. I want to open my eyes really badly, what did he bring in his pocket?

"Yuri, look what I have for you." Victor says calmly. Everything is still, waiting for my next response. With all my might, I open my eyes, because I know that's what Victor wants. The sight I am greeted with is a sight I could not have asked more for, a simply beautiful view. I see Victor, his glassy, sparkling eyes staring into mine. In his hands he has an open box about the size of a stack of ten thin pennies, and inside it there is my whole future, in the shape of a dainty ring. Tears begin to fill my eyes and a smile bigger than I knew I could smile appears on my tense face as I vigorously nod my head. Victor starts to laugh as he takes the ring, an adorable one, the colour of Victor's neatly fashioned hair, with a small diamond engraved in it, and gracefully slides it up my rigid finger, while both of us laugh through our tears. In front of me I can see what my future will hold, lots of love.

That day I answered the question I had been longing to know the answer to. Who is Victor Nikiforov? Well, Victor Nikiforov is the best thing that ever happened to me.
