The Ice Castle's pipes broke right at the holiday season and the whole place is flooded. Takeshi is very busy with the town's winter festivals so Yuri offers to take care of the pipes and the flood. By the time the Japan top skater finishes, it's already past 9pm and he still has to resurface the ice. He drives the Zamboni around the rink when he sees Viktor waving at him.
"Viktor? Why are you here? I thought you have a lot of things you need to do at St. Petersburg and you have to stay in Russia until after the new year." Yuri is surprised.
"I finished everything early." The skating Legend beams brightly, "are you happy to see me?"
"Of course I am happy to see you!" The raven hair boy says, "you didn't have to rush."
"I know you got plane ticket to Russia to surprise me on my birthday. You don't think I will let you leave your family and friends on the holiday, right?"
"You are being too nice. Did you at least go on a Carriage ride? You said you wanted one."
"I wanted to go on a Carriage Ride With YOU." Viktor winks, "and I was gonna do it. I got a carriage and ride it to Yu-topia to surprise you."
"I am so sorry I wasn't there." Yuri feels horrible.
"Don't say sorry. I know what happened to Ice Castle."
"We can still go on the Carriage ride. I can resurface the rink afterward."
"I know you will say that. I don't want you to stay up the whole night, so I offered the carriage to your dad and your mom." Viktor smiles, "can I get a ride with you?"
"huh?" the boy blinks under his glasses.
"I have been skating my whole life and I have never been on a Zamboni. I always want to ride one." The silver hair lover says.
"Sure. You want to drive? I can show you." Yuri moves over, let's Viktor gets on and shows Viktor how the Zamboni works. The blue eyes man steers with one hand and pulls his tired lover close to him with another.
"This is the better than any carriage ride." Viktor says contently. He misses Yuri so much; having the boy in his arm is the best feeling in the world.
"This is just a rink." The Japanese boy replies. The skating legend ruffles the boy's hair and says, "But this where you spent all your time, right? Your parents said this place is your home."
"That is true." Yuri sighs, "thank you for making my parents happy. They love me and support me so much but I don't even know how to talk to them. I am such an awkward child. I think I talk to your posters more than I talk to my dad."
"You have my posters?" Viktor grins from ears to ears.
"NO! NO! I don't have your posters." Yuri squeals as he waves his hands fanatically, "I mean...I do...I have your posters all over my room...not that I am obsess with you...everyone is obsess with you..."
The 5 times world champion laughs his hearts out. He calms the nervous boy down with a soft and gentle kiss. "Yuri, I am sure your parents know how much you love them. And it is okay to be obsess with me, because I am totally obsessed with you, too."
"Viktor..." Yuri blushes.
"I never know I wanted anything until I met you. Now that I got you I don't need anything else. It doesn't matter where I am or what I do for Christmas or birthday as long as you are in my arms." Viktor says as he kisses his blushing lover again.
