You were a complete wreck. You almost looked like a panda with the dark rings under your eyes.

After all the excitement of last night, you couldn't bring yourself to fall asleep.

The thought of those videos being posted has kept you up all night.

You could just imagine what would your parents would say.

You turned to look at Yuri (whom you have tried to heave onto the bed so that he wouldn't risk having any back pains from sleeping on the cold floor) who was still sleeping soundly.

You wondered how he could still afford to be unconscious during a time like this.

You were currently curled up into a ball on the floor of Yuri's room, staring blankly ahead, and contemplating your life choices.

Soon enough, Hiroko called out to the two of you. She was saying something about having to shovel out the snow.

What time was it anyway?

You hesitantly got up, and nudged Yuri with your foot. Having zero sleep messed up your coordination and your 'graceful' self gracelessly fell on top of Yuri with an oompf.

Yuri groaned as he woke up and pushed you off of him. He rubbed his eyes tiredly and searched for his glasses.

Putting them on, he noticed you were sprawled out on the floor.

He raised a brow in question, "(Y/N), what are you doing down there?"

You didn't answer and instead stood back up and grumble something about him having to shovel the snow.

At the mention of snow, he immediately drew back the curtains of his window and surely enough, the earth was blanketed under a fresh coat of white.

"Snow in April?" He searched for his phone and he frowned, "Oh...I turned it off after..."

He sighed.

He slowly got off of bed and decided to look for something warm to wear. Whereas you plopped right onto his bed and snuggled under the covers.

"(Y/N), what are you doing?"

"I'm gonna try to go to sleep. What does it look like I'm doing?" Your voice was muffled under the blanket.

He rolled his eyes and removed the blanket off of you and you shivered at the sudden temperature change, "You are going to go out there and help me."

You narrowed your eyes at him, "Why are you so cruel today?"

You were running on practically zero sleep and you weren't one to be tested when you're sleep deprived.

He just gave you a look and you sighed in exasperation. You hate that he's having you do work but you grudgingly got up anyway.

In the end, you really didn't help though.

You just watched as your glasses wearing boyfriend did all the work as you sulked.

Your hair was a mess, you were cranky, and for some odd reason, not even Hiroko's divine cooking managed to cheer you up any.

Yuri has no idea why you chose today of all days to be difficult.

In your defense, you were not purposely trying to be difficult. A bad night was just bound to turn into a bad day and last night wasn't exactly so great.

Once the two of you (but really, it was all Yuri) were done clearing out the snow, you both headed back inside but you trailed slightly behind Yuri with your head  down.

Before The two of you could fully make it inside, something managed to push you off balance which lead to you pushing Yuri and the two of you fell into a heap on the floor.

You heard a bark.

The two of you turned to see a poodle sitting right in front of you.

So that was the culprit.

"Viichan?" Yuri muttered breathlessly.

The dog bounded towards him and vigorously licked his face, nearly displacing his glasses.

You let out a small chuckle and pet the fur ball on the head. You really couldn't stay mad at it for long with such a cute face like that. The dog relished the attention he got from the two of you.

"But you couldn't be Viichan. You're much bigger than..." He gasped and looked at you, "Could it really be?"

You raised a brow at him.

Yuri stared into the mystery poodle's eyes. He looked familiar.

Toshio saw the scene in front of him and laughed heartily, "I see the three of you have met. He looks just like our Viichan doesn't he?"

"But where did he come from?" You asked.

"Oh, he came in earlier with a good looking fellow with an accent," Toshio said, "He's in the hot spring right now."

You and Yuri stared at each other.

What were the chances?

You and Yuri scrambled to get up. Tripping over your feet every now and then and knocking over a table with some displays, you both quickly made your way towards the baths with reckless abandon, disregarding the weird looks you both got from the guests.

Without properly thinking, the two of you just made a beeline throughout the baths, just hoping to come across with the person you both were thinking about.

You soon found him outside in the hot springs, leaning against the rocks with a towel over his head.

You both couldn't believe your eyes.

He held onto you both with such an intense gaze that you couldn't bring yourself to look away from.

"No way..." You breathed out.

"Victor...what are you doing here?"

Lifting himself out of the water, the two of you saw Victor Nikiforov in all his glory. None of you uttered a peep as you both were too transfixed with what was in front of you.

He was naked, so very, very, naked.

He was, in a word, perfect.

From the slope of his collar bone to his chest, his lean but nonetheless defined arms and his toned stomach.

Before you wasn't just any person, but a work of art.

Standing at his full height he held his arm out towards the two of you and flicked his hair with a flourish. He smiled, "Yuri, (Y/N), starting today I will be your coach. You two are going to make it into the Grand Prix Final and you are going to win," he winked towards the two of you.

You knew full well you were with Yuri. Was it wrong that your heart sputtered a bit when he said that.

Victor-bloody-Nikiforov just friking offered to be both your coach.

Your brain must be in sleep mode and this was all just a dream induced by your sleep deprived mind.

You two were speechless.

Victor was always one for surprises and he never fails to deliver.

You leaned towards Yuri a bit and nudged him with your elbow, "Psst, remember a time when everything made sense?"

He didn't answer.

"Yeah, me neither."
