A/N: Truly Golden: Chapter 2: Beaten

Yurri was always finding old stuff in his new home, may it be outside or even in Victor's closet, he was always finding well beyond its years and sometimes even dating back to before the man had begun his skating career. On this particular day, Victor had given Yuri clearance to pitch whatever he wanted, especially without Yurio there to get in their way and stop them from cleaning out the hallway closet (again).

"Say Victor? What kind of toy did this used to be?" Yurri asked, picking up a stuffed animal from the very top of the closet pile.

It was a faded yellowish pink bear with a rainbow- or maybe a sunflower stretched across its stomach, with a little heart on it's butt. Victor took it from him quickly and looked it over and over on both sides for a few seconds before tossing it back onto the couch.

"Its a Care-Bear." He said in a very serious tone, before going back to work on his own pile. "I don't remember which one that is though. I used to own all of them."

"A Care-Bear?" Yurri asked, laughing softly as he went over to the couch and looked over the toy again.

"A demon bear with a radioactive stomach. Still not as scary as the teletubbies." The older man said simply, shining a lovely smile towards his love.

"Were they supposed to be evil?" The dark haired skater snickered. "Or were you just a scardey cat?"

"Oh, I have no idea." Victor admitted. "I just owned the animals is all."

"What would they do?" The toy was quickly discarded shortly after.

"I don't even remember!" A smile graced Victor's lips once more. "But I remember they had movies."

Yurri rolled his eyes, but the faintest traces of a smile were ever present on his lovely face, and for a moment Victor could have sworn he saw an idea or two forming in Yurri's mind... Or at least he was thinking of something very carefully and it was a happy thought.

"What are you thinking of?" Victor hummed, waltzing over to his love and wrapping his arms around him. "I know that look, Yurri."

"Well, don't let this look fool you." Yurri said in a low voice. "I'm not thinking of anything."

Yurri jumped suddenly when Victor took the hug one step further and placed a few random kisses down the side of his neck and ear. All too quickly, his 'thinking-look' was replaced with a bright red one. He felt every ounce of blood in his body rush up to his face, and his thought was wiped away. It was completely forgotten when the toy was suddenly swiped off of the couch and was replaced with Yurri with Victor on top of him. The older skater had a flirty but thought-out smirk on his face, causing a bit of the blood in Yurri's face to run elsewhere, giving him just enough of a thought back to remember the seconds before he hit the couch.

"A-ah, what was that for!" Yurri yelped in more so surprise.

"I want to know what you were thinking about, and I thought this would be the best way to do it." Victor mused, lightly grasping both of Yurri's wrists and pinning them slightly above his head.

"I mean it, it wasn't anything." A lie, and they both knew it.

"Wrong answer, Yurri." Victor chided him gently, leaning down and kissing him softly. "Why can't you just be honest with me?"

The smaller of the pair rolled his eyes, struggling to sit up a little so he wasn't flat on his back but Victor's hold prevented this. After a moment, he let out a soft sigh as Yurri realized that his only option now was to be honest. Knowing Victor, he could and WOULD stay in this position all day if he had to.

"I was just thinking... It be kind of cute if we had a baby to give some of these old toys to instead of just tossing them out." Yurri finally admitted.

"Like the triplets? Or Yurio?" Innocent curiosity laced Victor's tone.

"No, like- Our own baby..." Yurri squirmed a little, feeling a different kind of blush dust his cheeks. "If we ever decide we're ready to adopt one."

"Adopting... A baby...?" Victor's eyes went wide.

"T-thats only if you wanted to and when we're totally ready for one!" Yurri exclaimed, finding enough strength to sit up finally. "Unless you don't want to, because that is completely fine with me!"

"Well-" The younger skater suddenly cut in.

"I understand if you need time to think about it- Even though we've been together for a while now- Well, no a while, but-" Yurri kept stuttering in a panic. "Oh God..."

"Yurri!" Victor yelped, "Calm down, okay?"

With that, he gently loosened his hold on Yurri's wrists so that the other could move them again. However, Victor wheeled back when Yurri suddenly slapped him away from him. While Victor was reeling from shock, Yurri scooted up the couch and looked like he was ready to bolt off of the couch and go hide in their room- Only to be stopped when Victor grasped his wrists faster than he could get away from him.

"What was that for?" Victor frowned, suddenly collecting Yurri's arms into a protective (mainly HIS protection) hug.

"I brought up adopting and you don't really... Seem... Ready... Or okay with the idea-." Yurri stuttered, blushing dark red.

Smiling warmly, Victor suddenly released Yurri and picked up the discarded toy and lovingly tucked it between Yurri and himself. With this being done, he proceeded to cradle both his lover and the toy in his arms. They stayed like this for a few minutes, just smiling at the toy and then looking up lovingly at each other in a type of silent but somehow meaningful and lengthy conversation. In ended only when Victor sighed happily, seemingly having an answer for his love.

"Yurri, I would love to adopt a baby with you."

"Y-you mean it?" Yurri felt tears prick his eyes painfully.

"Of course. I mean, it will take some time and discussion, but I look forward to it." Victor sighed again, hugging Yurri a little closer. "Have you thought about this a lot?"

"No... I honestly just thought of it now." Yurri admitted, shrugging his shoulders a little.

"Then we have time to talk about it. Nothing needs to be decided right now." Victor mused, looking back down at the toy. "But for now, we can hold onto some of these old toys just in case, okay?"

"O-okay." Yurri smiled, cuddling closer to the other. "Though- I think I'd rather stay here on the couch with you than finish cleaning the closet."

"Finish!? We hardly started!" With a gasp, the bear was suddenly yanked from Victor's hands and their positions were reversed, with Yurri on top now.

"Theres a lot of things we started today, and I'm really only interested in finishing one now." Yurri purred, almost playfully.

Thoughts of adoption, cleaning the closet, and teddy bear now discarded for now.

After all, it wasn't everyday that the got to be alone without Yurio to interrupt them.
