"Love is the flower you've got to let grow." [Viktuuri]

-28-

[Hi there! Another week has past and it's time for another (probably bad, let's be honest) chapter lol. I don't have anything else to say really so I'll just let you read :>

A few months had past and Yuuri had just come back from his last day of university. He felt extremely drained from all the social interaction he had to deal with since he was saying goodbye to many faces.

Yuuri walked down the street and reached the door. He took out his keys and admired them for a second while they lay in his palm. He opened the door and stepped in.

"I'm home!" He called out.

"Yuuriii! I missed you!" Viktor exclaimed, immediately greeting Yuuri with a kiss.

"You saw me this morning."

"Yeah but ever since we've moved in together I've felt like I need to be with you all the time."

"Someone's clingy."

"Yup." Viktor said as he rested his head on Yuuri's shoulder.

Yuuri chuckled and hugged his boyfriend.

The two had just recently moved in together and were still trying to organise their new space. Their new home had two bedrooms, a spacious living room and a kitchen as well as a balcony that you could access from the living room.

Yuuri and Viktor were planning to sleep in the same room so they decided to keep the extra bedroom as a spare room just in case friends ever came over.

Viktor took charge of the decoration and Yuuri kept Viktor focused. So far they hadn't got much done because they were relishing in the fact that they were actually living together. Living together.

It still felt so surreal.

Yuuri was staring into space like he often does as Viktor called out to him.

"Babeee~"

"Yes?"

"Do you know how lucky I am to be with you?"

Yuuri's face flushed bright red.

Even after all this time Yuuri was still the little flustered bean he had always been.

Viktor chuckled.

"You've always been so easy to fluster Yuuri."

"R-really?"

"When we first met, you were always blushing. Granted, it was adorable."

"That's because you were such a flirt!"

"Are you slut-shaming me?" Viktor asked in a mocking tone.

Yuuri sighed and shook his head before going over to the other and kissing his cheek.

"I love you." Yuuri said.

Viktor's cheeks had a tint of pink as he replied.

"I love you too."

"See you're easy to fluster too."

"Don't ruin the moment! Besides, it's only because it's you. If it were anyone else I doubt I would react the same way."

Yuuri hugged his boyfriend in response.

Yuuri finished moving all his boxes to their bedroom and flopped onto the bed.

Staring at the blank ceiling, Yuuri began to delve into his thoughts.

The past year, he had felt so many emotions while experiencing so many new things.

Meeting Viktor. Finding a boyfriend. Graduating. Moving in with said boyfriend. Somehow adopting a son. Experiencing so much with his best friend as well as meeting a load of new people. His parents renewing their vows. Getting a dog. As well as getting promoted at his job.

Yuuri couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for all the amazing things that had happened in his life in such a short amount of time.

Before he knew it, his eyes started watering.

These intense positive emotions all flooded out in that moment.

Yuuri had always been quick to cry but he had never cried of happiness before.

It was unusual but felt so good.

It felt even better to cry in the arms of someone he loved.

The two just stayed there for a while.

Yuuri buried in Viktor's chest, holding each other close as Yuuri let his tears flow. 

After a few minutes Yuuri looked up and Viktor and smiled.

"Feeling any better?"

"Yep." Yuuri said sweetly as he tackled the other on to the bed and covered him in kisses.

"Thank you." Yuuri said.

"For?"

"Being you."

Viktor hugged his boyfriend back as they layed there for a while.

Yuuri almost felt unworthy of all the good that had occurred in his life, but Viktor always made him feel like he was worth a lot (which he was).

The two had more or less adjusted into their new house. Yuuri woke up and made some breakfast for Viktor, who was asleep surprisingly. Viktor almost always woke up first.

Yuuri walked over to the kitchen and turned the kettle on before grabbing some ingredients from the fridge. He didn't have much time before he had to go into work, but he still wanted to make something special for his significant other.

He set the food on the counter and grabbed his things before setting off, after kissing Viktor on the head and leaving a note to say he had gone.

Yuuri just about made it on time and left his belongings in the locker room at the back. He greeted his coworkers and the day began.

Yuuri always did enjoy working at the flower shop and now that he was promoted to a manager, he not only got more pay, but he had more to do which he liked. Free time was never something Yuuri enjoyed.

Customers came in and out of the shop and before he knew it, his shift was almost over.

The Japanese man turned around at the cue of the bell and saw Chris walk in.

"Yuuri, looking as thicc as ever I see~."

Yuuri blushed and rolled his eyes.

"You really never change." Yuuri muttered.

"Chris!" Phichit shouted.

"Yo." Chris replied.

The two had formed a friendship after Yuuri's birthday since they had similar humour and radiated the same chaotic energy.

Yuuri, of course, found their friendship to be somewhat troublesome and avoided them whenever they were together.

He could barely handle Phichit on his own, let alone Phichit plus a sex reference in every sentence.

Regardless of the problematic pair, Yuuri finished up his shift and left to go back to his, or rather their, apartment.
