Falling For You: A Victuri Story

Chapter 11: The Morning After

Yuri

A sharp glow is turning the inside of my eyelids a bright crimson. Grimacing, I blink my eyes open and my vision slowly clears to absorb my surroundings. I am in a room that is not my room. I am lying in a bed that is too big to be my bed. There is an arm draped across my waist. My eyes travel up the veined forearm to the shoulder to the neck to the face. And when I see the silver hair, long eyelashes, and handsome face of the mystery man, I shriek and tumble out of bed.

Yesterday's memories hit me like a tidal wave. From the moment I walked into his apartment, to the almost-kiss on his couch, to his car engine that wouldn't start... and everything after. The things that happened in this room on this bed.

I had sex with Viktor.

"Yuri! Are you alright?"

That handsome face I have been admiring for years is inches away from my own face. I catch a glimpse of his bright pink lips that are now swollen and think I did that. 

Before I know it, my eyes roll back into my skull and consciousness slips away from me.

I wake up with a raging headache. "Ugh," I groan in pain and attempt to sit up. But a hand presses into my chest, stopping me.

"Lie down, Yuri. You're burning up."

"V-Viktor?" That face that I know all too well registers in my mind. I recall everything from last night, but my head and body are too flushed with heat for me to feel any embarrassment.

"Yes, I'm here. Open your mouth, Yuri." I do as Viktor says and he draws a thermometer out from between my lips. "You're running a 101 fever! Lie here and rest. I'm going to run to the pharmacy to get you some medication. I'll be back."

I want to tell him that sounds like a swell idea, but all I can get out is a low moan of pain.

"You poor thing," Viktor says while rubbing my cheek with the back of his hand. "Hold on." 

I follow him with my eyes as he leaves the room. Distantly, I hear a cupboard door open followed by the clatter of glass. Then the kitchen tap turns on and just a few seconds later, he returns with a glass full of water. He comes to the bed and places his hand on the back of my head. Gently, he raises my head and brings the water to my lips. "Drink," he commands.

I place both of my hands around the cup. I feel the warmth of Viktor's hand beneath mine. In one go, I gulp away half of the water.

"Good boy," he says. He uses his thumb to wipe away the water trickling down my chin and then places the cup on the stand beside the bed. Remembering his touch, I shudder. Viktor's thumb hesitates on my chin for just a moment before he pulls away. 

"Rest while I'm gone. I won't be long." He slips on his jacket and leaves through the front door.

I let my head fall back onto the pillow that smells of him, and within seconds, I'm asleep.

"—ri. Yuri."

"Mmm?" I draw my eyelids open. "Viktor?"

"Yes, it's me." He sits on the bed and leans toward me.  "I'm back from the pharmacy and... I have the medicine." He fidgets with a bottle in his hands.

"Thank you for taking care of me," I tell him. How can a man be so athletically talented, beautiful, and kind all at once? "But why do you look so uncomfortable? Is something wrong?" I sit up suddenly. The wet towel on my forehead slips off and onto the pillow.

"Well, I walked to the closest pharmacy to buy medicine that could help lower your fever. Unfortunately, it seems it's that time of the year when everyone is catching something, so the only thing they had on the shelf was... the suppositories."

Viktor unveils the small package he's been holding in his hands. Still, in a slight haze, I scan my eyes over the cover of the box. The cover image displays an animated finger pushing a capsule into an anal chamber. 

I gulp. 

"Yuri, I understand if this makes you uncomfortable and you don't have to take this at all. I can go out to another drug store and see if they have regular pain relievers that—"

"No," I interject. My sudden confidence startles me. I place my hand over Viktor's and say, "Please, I just want to feel better. I'll take it."

For a moment, Viktor and I look at each other. Finally, Viktor gives in. "Okay, Yuri."

He begins to open the box and I pull down the band of my pants. I slip my pants off and then pull my underwear down to my ankles. By the time Viktor manages to take out a capsule, I've climbed onto my knees. My hair is slick and hangs over my forehead, yet still, I catch a look at Viktor. He looks about as flushed as my fever makes me feel. 

"Please hand me a capsule."

 With trembling fingers, he breaks the aluminum seal and places a white capsule between my fingers.

My entrance is still somewhat loose from yesterday's activity with Viktor, and with just a little effort, it slides in.

"H-how far am I supposed to push it in?"

"Um, well, to put it simply, you should push it in until you feel it."

I think back to how Viktor was reaching so deep inside me just last night. If only my fingers were as long as his. I feel a tingling sensation. Come on, only a little farther. I lower my chest and arch my back and it's just enough. I gasp as the pill comes to rest on that sweet spot.

Aware that Viktor has been behind me all this time, I tilt my head to look at him. His chest rises up and down; his eyes are locked on my body.

"Oh, Yuri," is all he says.

I pull up my underwear and collapse back into bed. 

"Viktor, thank you for taking such good care of me." Tears prick the back of my eyes and a few fall down my cheek.

Viktor strokes my tears away with his thumb. His palm cups my face and I trail my fingers over the back of his hand.

"Of course, Yuri. Of course."

I fall asleep with the feeling of his tender hand on my face.
