Goodbye For Now

About a week after my party, things started to grow gloomier. Otabek was packing up his stuff so he could go back home to Kazakhstan. I started going to practice less and spending more time with him.

And it all lead up to our final day today. We should be leaving for the airport shortly.

Otabek was finishing up with packing up his stuff. I sat in the living room, trying to distance myself from him. I didn't want to see him leave. I know it's going to insanely hurt me. I don't know why, though. The only thing that will be between us will be distance.

I only thought that to comfort me, but just thinking about how much I'll miss his touch... His kisses... His hugs... His little smiles...

I felt like crying. I didn't want to see him leave, and then wait until the Grand Prix Finals is over just to see him again. To hold him again.

I heard a suitcase drop on the floor and I looked up at Otabek. He had a sad look on his face.

"Come on. Let's start heading to the airport." He stated.

I nodded and got to my feet. We made our way out to the door and we got outside. I locked up my apartment, and we exited the building.

We hailed a taxi, and we jumped in, telling the driver to take us to Sheremetyevo International Airport. We buckled up, and I looked at Otabek. I leaned onto his shoulder, begging for his attention. He pulled an arm around me, answering my plea.

We eventually got to the airport, and we got out of the taxi. I paid the fee, and we walked inside. I could feel my heart tighten, my lungs could barely make a breath.

I saw Otabek look at me, slightly worried. I just shook off the feelings and gave him a smile. I shouldn't be letting my emotions get in the way. If I do, Otabek won't follow his skating career and I'll take him away from something he's worked so hard for.

"Otabek! Yurio! Wait up! We want to say our farewells too!" I heard a familiar voice yell.

I turned and saw almost everyone. I did not like where this was going.

Victor and Yuuri bounded towards us, out of breath. I started to get anxious. Wherever Victor was, the paparazzi was never too far behind.

I wanted to be able to say goodbye to Otabek alone. I wanted our last farewell to be sweet and private. But they had to find me.

"Victor! What are you doing here?" I yelled.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I think I pretty much said what I'm doing here. What we all are doing here."

I growled. "You don't think I want to say goodbye to Beka alone?"

I heard a camera shutter and saw a bright flash. Shit, I need to pick my words carefully.

I turned back to Otabek. It was almost time for him leave.

"Beka, I'm sorry...." I frowned.

He just gave me a small smile. "You want a hug or.."

I didn't even let him finish. I jumped into his arms and hugged him with all my might. I felt his arms wrap around me, and I felt like I was going to burst. It finally set in. Otabek was going to be gone. I wasn't going to wake up and hear his steady breathing. I felt tears screaming to come out.

I looked at Otabek, and to my surprise, he had tears falling from his brown eyes.

We both made eye contact, and I did something that I never thought I would do.

I kissed him.

And he kissed back.

I felt the camera flashes and heard the loud clicks, but I felt all my worries wash away. I wasn't scared. I felt bold, I felt on top of the world.

When we separated, I felt cold. We both looked at each other. I knew he had to leave, and I hated it.

He kissed my forehead and smiled. "I love you, Kitten."

I smiled. He turned and started to walk away.

But before he was out of earshot, I yelled words I have been waiting to say.

"I love you too."
