"Where the hell even are we" asked Yurio looking around, Otabek shrugged "well you live here not me" he said glancing around the many paths of the city centre. Yurio gave him a look that clearly said 'just ask siri'. Otabek grabbed his phone from his pocket and mumbled something into his phone

"Okay we're 5 minutes away from my apartment so we could drop out bags off there and get a taxi to Maly pr" said Yurio after consulting Siri for there actual location. Otabek nodded before following Yurio to where his apartment was

They arrived and Yurio fumbled around trying to find his key, he unlocked his door and flung his and Otabek's suitcases inside before running back down to the front door with Otabek just behind him.

Once they found yet another taxi that was going to the St. Petersburg hospital they paid him for the journey and ran up the steps to the hospital. Yurio immediately ran over to the front desk.

"we're here to see Viktor Nikiforov" he said to the receptionist. "I'm afraid Mr Nikiforov is still unconscious so until he wakes up you'll have to stay up in the waiting room if you wish to see him" she said.

"What floor is that?" Asked Otabek "third floor honey, just along the corridor" she said gesturing to one of the lifts. "Okay thank you!" Said Yurio as both of them quickly made their way to the third floor, "you think Yuuri's still here?" Asked Otabek. Yurio nodded "I doubt he even left for a second since he came here" he said.

He was right intact, they turned the corner to enter the waiting room and there was Yuuri bunched up on a chair with his head against the wall sound asleep. "Should we wake him up" asked Otabek "he looks like he could use some sleep" said Yurio and Otabek nodded.

Yurio sat down a few seats away from the sleeping Yuuri and Otabek sat beside Yurio. A couple hours past and Yuuri began to mumble in his sleep, he seemed to keep on saying "please Viktor please Viktor". After another couple of hours Otabek had gone to go get all three of them water after Yuuri had woken up, "Yurio?" Questioned Yuuri still half asleep. Yuri smile slightly "hey Katsudon" he said.

"You actually came all the way from Kazakhstan to Russia?" Asked Yuuri. "Of course we'd come" said Yuri, "how is he?" Asked Otabek "the doctor said the surgery was a success but he's still unconscious" said Yuuri. "You've seen him though, right?" Asked Yurio and Yuuri nodded "I snuck in but I had to see him" said Yuuri pulling Yurio into a hug as he started crying again.

Yurio embraced the hug a little shocked from the sudden tears the Japanese man began to produce, "h-he saved.. m-e" stuttered Yuuri "we w-were cross-ing the r-road and a car w..as comi-ng at us
qui-ckly and he p-ushe..d me o- out the w-ay" he cried.

"Yuuri shhh.." said Yurio comfortingly "Viktor's strong, Yuuri you know he is" said Yurio remembering back to what Otabek said. Yuuri's phone buzzed and he looked down at his screen wiping tears from his eyes he tapped on his home button, Pichit was texting him.

Yuuri stared at the text and then looked up and Yurio and Otabek "what am I supposed to tell him" he said tearing up again "the truth" said Otabek admittedly. Yuuri shook his head "I don't want to have to talk about" he said.
