We sit together on a bench beside the ice, I have my arms tightly wrapped around him as he tells his story.

"Otabek pulled me to the deck and I watched as you pulled away. I wasn't scared because I knew you would be safe and I would happily die for you my angel. We hiked up the deck where I ran into Chris and Phichit, we all shoved through people but we lost Otabek and Chris in the crowd. I watched from the stern with Phichit as my best friend in the world fell through the crack on the ship, Phichit and I made it to the railing at the far back of the ship but after Chris died I think Phichit gave up. He just couldn't go on without him, we hung from the railing as the ship began to fully sink. 

"When the stern jolted back up several people fell to their deaths, including Phichit. I was all alone in the dark hanging from the railing of a fast sinking ship, the only thing that kept me going was the thought of seeing my bright angel again. My Yuri. 

"The ship plunged into the sea, I managed to find a floating piece of wood from the ship and pulled myself on to it. I laid there for ages thinking about you and holding on, luckily a lifeboat came back and found me. I think the alcohol may have kept me going in the cold but I was in a bad way so after the lifeboat arrived I was rushed to the infirmary on board the Carpathia. 

"Soon I arrived in New York, I tried to look for you but they told me Yuri Katsuki was dead. I was devastated. Back in Russia when I was sad I would go ice skating so I've been practically living here just skating and remembering my angel. Something drew me here and kept me here so I stayed. It must have been the universe pulling us together again."

Victor holds me close and stroke my hair. 

"I'm sorry Victor, I was the one who told the crew that Yuri Katsuki was dead, I thought you were dead and wanted a fresh start" I confess.

He kisses my forehead and sighs. 

"What name do you go by now?" 

I blush and look away, Victor laughs lightly. 

"Yuri Nikiforov" 

He gasps and kisses me. 

"That almost sounds like a marriage proposal" 

I hug him tight against me, who gives a damn what anyone else thinks. I love this man with all my heart. 

"That's what I intended" I whisper. 

Victor pushes my hair away from my face. 

"I love you" 

"I love you too" 

Victor pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket and hands it to me. 

"The original got damaged so this is from memory" 

I open it and see the sketch of me on the couch and gasp. 

"It's beautiful" 

He leans in and kisses me lovingly.
