falling through the ice

Home. Home is Viktor's sparse St. Petersburg apartment, which is now where Yuri keeps his clothes and his toothbrush and his silver medal, which Viktor hung above the fireplace, and his extensive collection of Viktor Nikiforov posters, because Minako had mailed every one of them from Hatsetsu. (Yuri had shoved them into a drawer, but Viktor put some of his favorites on the fridge, next to the photos he'd had printed of Yuri in his juniors costumes.) Home, where every time Viktor sees Yuri chattering excitedly to the triplets over Skype or hears Mari complain over the phone about the time difference, he feels guilty for keeping Yuri to himself, as if he's the one stealing Yuri from the world now. "What will Viktor Nikiforov's fans say if he falls like that in competition?" Viktor sighs, not moving. "What will his protégée and rival Yuri Katsuki say?"
