“When I retire. It’d be nice to...once I’ve retired. If you want it.”
He hears the unspoken because I do and slumps against Yuuri’s chest. Groans and tightens his hold on him. Yuuri’s heart is thudding under Victor’s head, rabbitlike, persistent.
“Yes .” Victor breathes.
“Yes?”
Yuuri sounds disbelieving. He sounds like a dream . Victor rubs his cheek against his chest, scents the air and rumbles like an engine. He realises, after a moment, that half the vibration he feels is his own body shaking, and has to pull himself up, over Yuuri again.
Yuuri, who’s looking up at him with such love, bleeding out of his open expression. The bedsheets fall away when Victor sits up, the room cold outside of their hideaway. He just wants to remember this. How Yuuri looks, glowing in the moonlight and spread so sweetly beneath him. The bracing sea-salt scent of him rising up, curling like a fog around them. He blurs at the edges. Victor is surprised to blink and feel a tear slide down his cheek.
Yuuri surges upwards and thumbs the wet line across Victor’s face, makes unhappy little sounds until Victor smiles brightly, kisses him wet and deep. He’s hiccuping when they part, some strange delight bubbling in him where before it roiled then bled away; he sinks back down to the mattress, pulling Yuuri with him and nuzzling his scent gland, thrilling at the way Yuuri lets him. Eagerly goes where Victor asks. Victor gathers him close and shuts his eyes tight.
When he sleeps he dreams of Yuuri - gorgeous, resplendent, refusing to budge an inch. A squirming bundle tucked between them, and Victor drowns in their scents, irrevocably entwined.
