The Breakdown

Viktor's PoV

Yuri was already up whenever Viktor opened his eyes. The TV was on, so Viktor wandered into the living room to find Yuri sitting directly in front of the TV squinting. For some reason, this brought tears to Viktor's eyes. He blinked them away quickly and cleared his throat.

"Good Morning my little Piggy! It's almost time for that walk I mentioned yesterday, so let's hurry and get ready!"

Yuri jumped, clearly startled from Viktor's sudden appearance.

"Oh, Viktor. How long have you been there?"

"Just got here, no worries! Have you eaten?"

Yuri's mouth tugged into a frown and Viktor knew immediately that he hadn't eaten and hadn't planned on it either. He'd let it slide for now. No need in ruining the day's mood just yet.

"Actually, nevermind, it doesn't matter. Just get some warm clothes on real quick and we can get going."

"Why are you in such a rush? We're not going anywhere in particular," asked Yuri.

"I'm just really ready to get out of this house! Starting to get claustrophobic from being cramped up the past couple of days."

"If you say so."

Thankfully Yuri hadn't even suggested they bring Makkachin, so that meant one less thing Viktor had to worry about. They were slowly making their way towards the doctor's office and Viktor could tell Yuri was freezing and anxious because he was clinging on to Viktor for dear life.

"Please don't make me run into something, I might die from embarrassment."

"I would never! Trust me, Yuri. I know what I'm doing."

The office was just up ahead, and when they reached the door, Viktor stopped.

"I'm sorry, Yuri."

"What for?"

"For not telling you why we were going out today. I scheduled an appointment with a doctor. You need help, and there's only so much that I can do for you."

Yuri's face crumples, but he just nods.

"Okay, I'll go. But don't think I'm not mad. You just used my weakness to get your way, and I really don't appreciate it." That was all Yuri said as he found the door handle and went in.

Viktor didn't know how to reply to Yuri's statement, so he just stayed silent and waited for the doctor to call them back.

Yuri's PoV

"Mr. Katsuki? I'm ready to see you now," came a voice in front of him.

He felt for Viktor's hand and stood. Viktor got up and lead him down the hall into a room, where he sat in another chair.

"So," the man began, thankfully in english, "Why are you two here today?"

Viktor answered for Yuri, "My Fiance has been dealing with some serious depression and I think he needs help. Two days ago I found out that he was almost entirely blind and had been hiding it from me for 6 months. When I found him he was,---he was cutting himself in our bathroom."

"Hmm, I see."

"I don't," mumbled Yuri sarcastically.

"Hah! Well at least you've still got your sense of humor! Would you like to explain to me how you felt, Yuri? Why were you harming yourself over something you have no control of?"

"That's just it. I have control of what is injured when I put that razor to my skin. It gives me something to focus on when I have nothing else at all. I'm just a burden now, there's no need for me to keep living like this anyway."
