Victor laid on his side in the bed he was currently sharing with Yuri. Victor always woke before the younger man but remained in their bed until Yuri opened his eyes.

Victor loved to watch Yuri smile in his sleep, he treasured the moments in the stillness of the early morning hours, when the only sounds around him were the ticking of the clock beside their bed and Yuri's soft breathing as he slept.

He hated that he would soon have to wake the younger man, he sighed contentedly as he reached out to brush back a few strands of dark hair from Yuri's face.

"Yuri," he called softly, stroking his short dark hair. "Yuri, I need you to wake up now." He moved closer to the younger man.

"Come on, I know you like sleeping in, but we have to get ready to go." Victor began to nuzzle Yuri lovingly.

"Yuri, we'll miss the plane if you don't get up." Yuri stirred as Victor continued the affection.

" I could do this all day, but we need to get up now. We told your family we were going to see them."

" 'M up." Yuri said sleepily.

"Then open your beautiful brown eyes and look at me, we can't be late."

"Late for what?"

"We're leaving to spend the weekend with your parents, we have something to tell them remember?" Victor kissed Yuri's forehead. The younger man smiled and opened his eyes to look into Victor's.

"There's my beautiful Yuri." He said taking the younger man's hand. Victor leaned closer, pressing his lips to Yuri's.

"Are you ready to get up?" Yuri frowned.

" if we have to." Victor stroked the younger man's short, dark hair.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just- I like our time together in the morning."

"You mean when I nuzzle you and hold you?" Yuri nodded. Victor moved to kiss Yuri's cheek.

"I know it was cut a little short today, but there's going to be plenty of nuzzles when we get there. I promise, okay?"

"Okay.'Yuri said forcing himself out of bed.

" Would you wake Makkachin, he should go out before we leave, it's a long flight. " Yuri nodded, bending down to stroke the poodle's head.

"Hey,Makkachin. He called as the dog slowly raised his head and yawned. His tail began to wag happily as he stood.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Makkachin licked the man's hand and hurried from the room. Victor smiled.

"Do you want to take him?" Yuri asked.

"It doesn't take long to get ready once everyone's awake. We should both take him." The older man suggested. Moments later, both skaters were dressed and making their way down the snow covered sidewalk with Makkachin.

Yuri shivered in the cold, placing his hands in his coat pockets. The crisp wind brushed against their faces. Victor pulled him close,kissing his head.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you warm." He whispered.

"You always do." Yuri replied.

"Have you thought about how you're going to tell your family?" Victor asked.

"I just thought we'd have everyone sit down and tell them. Did you want to do something different?"

"I think we should go to dinner and tell them."

"I don't know, someone has to-"

"We can at least offer, we're going to be a family." Victor's excitement seemed to grow each time he mentioned it, filling Yuri's heart with joy. The younger skater couldn't stop smiling. He was going to marry his true love, his idol. It still felt somewhat surreal to Yuri.

Yuri knew his family would be happy for him, they had always been supportive, never giving him reason to have doubts about coming to them. He wasn't however looking forward to the stress that seemed to come from planning the event and hoped Victor had more planned than he shared.

"Don't worry, Yuri, it's a wedding, you're supposed to have fun." Victor said seeming to pick up on his thoughts. "I don't want you to stress about this. I want you to enjoy this experience"

"Right...but what if I-" Victor turned to him, silencing Yuri with a kiss.

"It's going to be fine, I promise." He vowed quietly, looking directly into Yuri's eyes. The dark haired man nodded, seeing the love in Victor's perfect blue eyes reassured Yuri.

"If you really think so." Victor smiled, kissing him softly once more.

"I do." He replied. "We should be heading back, we'll have just enough time to warm up before we leave."
