stay close, don't go

weeaboobi:

So I really wanna talk about something that only really just hit me in this episode.

Pretty much all throughout this season, Yuuri has only talked about Victor in a way that suggests he is going to leave.

Not in a single episode,

not in a single moment,

through all his growth, his newfound experience with love and confidence,

did he ever dare to let himself believe that victor could possibly stay.

now can you even imagine how much courage and strength it would take this insecure, self deprecating, anxious boy just to ask victor to stay with him? this glass hearted boy, who is still struggling after years of finding himself unworthy and undeserving of even the smallest things.

this show isn’t the kind to come out right and say things. it doesnt fall into typical romantic tropes of any kind. these two characters continue to show each other their love in their very own, INCREDIBLY personal ways. this was no small request on yuuri’s part. victor was not the only one who declared his love to be everlasting tonight. Yuuri did too, and he did it first. for the very first time, yuri asked. he asked him to stay with him, and made sure he didn’t overstep and ask more than he thought he deserved (thAT BOY)

  And Victor answered back. He answered openly, unashamedly, with honesty, with what yuuri never expected. He answered back with what Yuuri needed to hear, as always. He loves him too. He has wanted to stay with Yuuri this whole time.

And that. Is fucking beautiful.
