A/N: The reunion is here!! One more chapter after this one I'm sorry...And there's a bit of sexual content in here, you've been warned! Anyway, I hope you enjoy and thank you for over 2,500 reads, I really appreciate you all!! Love you!

Months go by.

Mila is released from the hospital, but she doesn't come back to skating. She decides to leave Russia and travel, find herself. Get better, get stronger.

Anja leaves to go back to Canada.

"I'll stay in touch with you OK?" She promises me before she goes.

"OK."

"Don't forget about me Yuri."

How could I? I found a good friend in her, something that I didn't know I needed until now. It's funny how the most random, unexpected things that happen in your life can impact you forever. Anja, my friend. I'll treasure her for a very long time.

Competitions come and go.

I stood on the podium in the finals, silver medal hung around my neck. But this time, I wasn't mad about losing, because in the stands, my mother and grandpa were watching me proudly. The woman that I started skating for, had finally got to see what I worked so hard to accomplish. Just by the look in her eyes, I could tell that I'd done enough.

I had finally done enough.

Shortly after finals, grandpa passes away. I held onto my mother as she cried for him. I wasn't going to let her go or leave her in her time of need, I wasn't going to run away, no matter how scared I was. I wish I told grandpa how much I loved and appreciated him more, since I was young he was by my side, caring for me and putting up with everything I put him through. I hope he's happy wherever he is, I hope he's smiling and happy with grandma. I love you grandpa. Thank you for everything.

Viktor and Yuuri came out from their break and began skating again. I go to the rink and watch them skate sometimes, they're always so happy to be together. I'm glad they both have someone that they can lean on, they deserve it.

I don't get too angry when Viktor calls me his son anymore too, mainly because I understand why he does now. It actually makes me kind of happy...Don't tell him I said that though.

I'm nineteen now. Cut my hair too, my mom was upset about it at first but she eventually accepted it. I just wanted to have a more mature look, I wanted to look different.

And I want Otabek to see my eyes clearly today.

I'm going to see him for the first time in over three months.

My mom helped me to pay for my ticket to Kazakhstan, she was really happy that I was going to be reunited with Otabek. I told her everything about him soon after she moved back. She quickly accepted and wanted to meet him immediately.

"Go get your love sweetie!" She chanted as I was packing to leave.

I'm so thankful for her.

I decided a while back that I wanted to see Otabek's home country of Almaty in Kazakhstan, the place that he was always fighting so hard to win for back then. It's really spectacular here. As I walked off of the plane, I could see the landscape of buildings and mountains, the mix of beauty and industrialisation. It reminded me a lot of how Otabek is, tough, but sensitive too.

I head into the airport. He said he'd be waiting for me there, but it's kind of crowded, I can't see him anywhere. I decide to sit down in the waiting area and take out my phone to call him.
