                    Usually the cheerful face worn by Viktor went solemn, blue eyes meeting Roxas’ as he registered the meaning behind the words — this was serious, he knew that. Soon after, a frown stretched across his features as he was hit with a chain of memories— because he knew, even the ‘living legend Viktor Nikiforov’ knew what it was like to feel as if he’s carrying the world on his shoulders, the self gnawing doubt that arises, the expectations people have. As much as he wasn’t sure what exactly Roxas was talking about, he also knew that the skating world could be tough — a lot of time has passed, but there had been times where his luck was about to wear thin, where it was so much easier just not to think about it — and he placed a gentle hand on the other’s shoulder. He was never really good at comforting people but he tried anyway, putting emotions into his words, wanting to make sure that his point gets across.

                    “It’s not- it’s not your responsibility to be someone else, especially just because it’s expected from you — it never is.” He stopped for a moment, unsure how to continue. “It’ll… cause more pain — the easiest and the best solution is to tell the truth — just… be who you want to be.”

OOC: Aah hello ! So sorry I couldn’t be on yesterday — alongside the exam, it was also the end of the semester so I got busier than I thought ( however I managed to cut some icons and ps is hopefully editing them as we speak ? the script im using might crash anytime im not sure, it’s trying to edit 500 icons welp ) — && I have a couple of starters and replies to do but I’m going to be here the whole evening so if you’d like to rp or plot feel free to hmu !

OOC: Hi hi ! I’m probably going to slowly log off because I have a toefl exam tomorrow ( it’s going to be 4 - 4,5 hours long welp ) — also that’s why I can only be back tomorrow evening ! Wish me luck && if you’d like a starter, feel free to pop over here or hit me up if you’d like to plot/talk ! I’ve been having a great time already — thanks so much !! ♥

                    Laying on the couch with Makkachin and Yuuri by his side, Viktor had started to appreciate the lazy days more and more, enjoying every second spent with the ones he loved. His fingers changing the channel idly as a background noise and another petting the poodle, he turned his attention to Yuuri — a fond, more genuine smile on his face, one of the smiles he never showed to the camera. “Hey, what would you like to do today ? After walking Makkachin, we can either go sightsee a bit or watch some movies ?”

Christophe turned his head at the sound of a familiar voice, smiling as he shook his head, giving Viktor a quick pat on the shoulder, “Oh please. Like I’m ever too busy for you.” He teased. “Did you want to do something? I was thinking of grabbing a drink at the hotel bar, but–” He gestured behind himself with his thumb, before shrugging. “I have a feeling you had something better in mind?”

                    Grinning at Chris’ reply, he nodded enthusiastically. “I’d love to do something !“ He stopped for a moment to go through the possibilities — hotel bar sounded a bit dull, it was too late to visit museums — well, hopefully, there was a good restaurant or better yet, a better bar around. “I hadn’t gotten around to visit the city properly yet, what about finding a place with traditional food && alcohol ? I was looking forward to trying new cocktails.”

                    “I’ve found the best stuff today whilst shopping —” His arms filled with bags, he plopped them onto the counter, excitedly pulling a shirt from one of the bags. It had a picture of Yuuri skating on it and Viktor couldn’t be more thrilled. “Katsuki merch ! They’re amazing — I even bought a pillow.” To say that he was excited would be a vast understatement — the moment he saw Yuuri’s face on one of the shop windows, he’d ran inside and got every merch possible.

Victor: okay so I’m going to Japan to coach this guy I like but I’ve never even had a serious crush on anyone before so I don’t really know what to do. any suggestions
Christophe: hm okay… have you thought about getting naked
Victor: that’s
Victor: that’s perfect you’re a genius

                  “I’m ashamed — so so ashamed.” Viktor let out with a loud sigh, his eyes wide as he met Yuri’s eyes. “You know what I forgot ?” After a more-than-necessary && dramatic long pause, he continued. “It’s March and we’re in St. Petersburg — I can’t believe I almost forgot северное сияние !” Much too excited for a pause this time, he smiled widely, barely able to stop himself from jumping up and down. “Northern lights — I’ve never shown you the northern lights.”

                    He had done it, his third consecutive win at the Grand Prix Final, a proud ( and perhaps too confident ) grin was plastered on his face as he joined the banquet, wearing a pristine suit matched with a tie to go along with his eyes. While he was bantering and laughing along with his fellow contestants, Viktor spotted the skater who had made his debut across the room. Excusing himself for a moment ( the conversation had been getting more dull by the second ), he made his way towards the other. “Roxas, right?” He started, offering a smile. “As a debutant —your spins were a bit sloppy but — it was a great performance.”
