can't go on...

forgetting

   ***Time skip***

Victor and Yuuri had been married for three years now but Victor had been coaching Yuuri for nearly five years. Things were running smoothly, at least they thought things were until the day everything spiralled into a world of darkness.

Yurri had been forgetting his routines quite a lot recently,  driving Victor insane. With the Grand Prix Finals creeping up very fast Victor knew he had to do something.

"Yuuri what has gotten into you... you shouldn't be forgetting your routines, your a  two time world champion!"  Victor screeched, feeling instant regret after ,thinking he had hurt his Yuuri. All Yuuri could do was look down at the ice, speechless. "...sorry... i didnt mean to shout... i dont want to hurt you" Was all Victor could manage, choking back tears as he didn't want to cry in front of Yuuri. That was the end of that days practice... a few hours early but they couldn't focus.

Back at the condo, Victor was cooking an apology dinner. Yuuri's favourite... katsudon. He regretted everything but still had to request help from Yuuri...

But...

Yuuri had forgotten where the pans were kept in the kitchen. "YUURI!" Victor snapped, sending Yuuri running off into the bedroom slamming the door behind him. Victor stood in silence and could hear the sobbing coming from the room but he couldn't do anything because he knew he was the last person Yuuri wanted to see. That hurt him the most. Hearing his lover suffering but being unable to soothe his pain.

Yuuri returned from the bedroom a few minutes later, tear stained cheeks. To Victor It felt like hours had passed but when he checked the clock it had only been 15 minutes. Yuuri sat on the couch and said " Vitya come over here... I need to talk to you..." Now that is never a sentence you want to hear from your boyfriend. I need to talk to you... Victors world seemed to slow at the moment and all he could think was...

'Oh god he is going to leave me'

Victor just slowly put everything down, making sure to turn the oven off and made his way over to Yuuri.
" Victor... I need to... to tell you this... before it gets t..too late," Yuuri choked with tears still flowing from his eyes ,
"Victor... I... i have ...Alzheimers... I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner...please don't be mad..." As Yuuri said this be broke down and cried into Victors shoulder.
"Love there is no reason to be sorry... All I want to do is help you, I just wish you told me sooner so I wasn't so hard on you... but that doesn't matter now." Was Victors reply fighting the urge to cry as he didn't want to in front of Yuuri. "Love I might as well say this now, I'm pulling you from the Grand Prix because your health is way more important "

A few months later, Yuuri's condition had worsened leading to him having to be permantly hospitalized. However this didn't mean the lovers were separated, Victor stayed all day and slept in the chair all night... He never left Yuuri's side. Half the time Yuuri couldn't even remember Victors name or why he was always around but Victor still stayed. Victor loved Yuuri for who he was and couldn't bare the thought of losing him...
