Eternity

I see you

I've been waiting.
I've been waiting for years. I can't remember how long anymore, that long I can't remember. It must have been more than 100 years. I don't even know how old I am anymore, I gave up counting around the age of 70. Nothing terrifies me more than the fact my soulmate died before I met them, so I'll be on my own forever... but they might have been born in the wrong century to me. So I'll wait.

I'll wait for you.

"Congratulations on winning Nationals Victor!" A reporter calls out hoping to get my interest for an interview. I smile and wave as I say my thanks. I'm not in the mood for an interview. I feel... odd. I've felt this way since the Grand Prix a few months ago. What is this? "Victor! Snap out of whatever you're thinking about. We need to leave or Yakov will shout." I look down to see a small angry face to go with a small angry person. "Whatever Yuri. Don't tell me what to do." I walk off in a huff. I stand outside and breathe in the cold, relaxing air. I don't understand. What is wrong with me? I've had this feeling since... last year... why? "Victor Nikiforov! Get your ass here. After your win you were supposed to go to the ring. Now go!" I kick the wall and walk away. "Victor! Don't walk away from me!" Yakov calls as I walk away. "I'm not in the mood. I'll see you later." Although it's winter and snow layers on the road, I walk to the beach. There's something about the ocean that reminds me of my family. I don't remember much, just the ocean. I remember a faint voice calling my name softly but the rest is blurry. I'm pretty sure it was my mother. My brother died when I was young and I can't remember my father. I'm pretty sure my parents died around the same time. I sigh, it's been a long time since I felt anything. I survived the wars as I went to Australia for work around the start to the Second World War. I remember hearing that America and Russia were in some sort of Cold War after it ended. I looked it up and read about it but I was never really interested. As I've never aged, I just saved up my money. I have quite a bit now and can spend it as I please. I'm not sure exactly how much but I do have a few million. The only thing I've ever been interested in wasn't money, it was skating. I've lived for so long that skating let's me release all these emotions. For over 100 years I've been lonely. And I would wait for eternity for my soulmate. I hear my phone buzz and looked down to see a text from Yuri.

Hey sorry for being forward earlier. Yakov was in a pissy mood. If you want to talk about what's up I'm here. Got to go, Mila won't stop pawing at me.

I smile to myself as I imagine it. I think I've had enough of sulking to myself. I'm just going to go home. I stand up and start to walk back. I grab a taxi to my apartment and take my shoes off and coat on the way in.
I take my trousers off and climb in bed. I'm so tired I could just fall aslee-

There's an annoying buzzing sound coming from my desk. I look up to see my phone going off. I sit up and grab it checking the notification.

Hey Victor, that Japanese pig was skating your routine and it's gone viral. Disgusting.
Check it out.

The message is followed by a link. I click on it and watch. Wait... this is my... stay close to me routine... and that boy... he was the one at the banquet last year who got drunk and started stripping. It was amusing to see him pole dance with Chris but... his moves now, they're something else. Is he... no. But what about when he asked me to be his coach? He's skating my routine with so much emotion, but how can he portray what I've felt for decades in a few minutes? I sigh. And lock my phone placing it back on the side and lying down. I close my eyes and try to fall back to sleep. Wait! Wasn't that the time I started feeling... weird? No. if can't be. But what if?
I close my eyes again and start to go back to sleep. I guess I can only find out if I try. I'm going to test it.
I'm going to test you Yuuri Katsuki.

I enjoy writing this one. It's not going to be as long as my other one but I'll try. Thanks for reading. X
