do you ever just like,, die bc viktor spent his entire career trying to surprise people and make them happy with his skating and he NEVER got anything in return. he can't surprise people anymore because nobody surprises him - and then, oh, yuuri katsuki, this awkward, anxious, bottom-of-the-gpf japanese boy drunkenly dances his way into his life and SURPRISES HIM and INSPIRES HIM and steals his fucking heart. the one thing viktor nikiforov needed in life was for someone else to surprise him, for him to felt something true and deep, and yuuri katsuki did exactly that. you see, yuuri wanted to surprise viktor as much as he surprised him and he sure as hell did that (whether it be intentional or not), from the moment they first met and viktor fell in love with him. he continued to do that, to surprise viktor nikiforov, the living legend, when he ended his free skate with viktor's signature move, when he was the one to propose first, when he was the one to break viktor's free skate record and i'm sure countless other times. yuuri's given viktor all he's ever wanted in life. that's fucking beautiful, and if it isn't love, i'm not sure what is. tl;dr: this show has ruined me
