This is definitely not what Yuuri envisioned the motel to be like. Phichit used to drive himself to his grandfather's house hundreds of kilometers away for vacation during the summer vacation after graduating from high school. Since then, he has always vividly described what happened during the journey to Yuuri. Those interesting things: high-rise cacti, waiters in skirts, and a cool and pleasant motel with chocolates on the pillows and minibars in the lobby, full of wild west temperament and family flavor.

Phichit Churanond, you liar.Katsuki Yuuri cursed, standing in the corridor of the motel, the door facing in was open, the nail with the house number on one side was loose, and the sign with the number 214 was wobbly, looking from the open door Going in, you can see that the floor is covered with an invisible carpet. Either a bucket of coffee was spilled into the paint of this carpet during production, or someone was killed in this room by extreme cruelty. The bloodstains in Yuuri's house covered every corner, and even the wallpaper was splashed on it; the corners of the two single beds were worn to varying degrees, and there was a very small window, the attic of Yuuri's house was more transparent than it , There is a small low stool under the window, and on the stool is an old-fashioned button TV set in the 80s and [-]s.Victor stood in the door with his hands on his hips and the luggage bag over his arm—the only luggage the two grown men had on this trip—and asked with a bright smile, "Which bed do you want?"

As the only good thing in the sleazy house, he looked overly happy.Yuuri reluctantly stepped into the room, God, this room smells like feet.I'm going to kill Phichit, Yuuri thinks to himself, the bastard must have never set foot in a motel, he'll be next after I murder Victor.With a cursory glance, Yuuri points to one of the beds—it doesn't make much difference between them, they all look equally unhygienic.

"A wise choice," Victor said, throwing his luggage on the other bed, and magically pulled out two plastic-wrapped sandwiches from behind him, "Now, choose a dinner, do you want salmon or bacon ?”

This is totally ill-gotten gain.Before that, when Yuuri asked the front desk of the hotel if there was a place to eat, the man who seemed to be the boss looked at him for a long time before saying, "Did you see the Hilton signboard hanging at the door, Your Highness?" Come up, fortunately at this time Victor—this tall Slavic man with a wound on his face—put the luggage bag heavily on the counter, and said in a hoarse voice that he had never heard before: "One room, my Friends." This gave the hotel owner a whole new attitude towards them, not only did he show them the way with a smile on his face, he also selflessly took out two sandwiches from behind the counter - obviously his late-night snack - to share with them, when Victor gloomy When he told him to leave with a straight face, he somehow managed to call Victor "Sir".

"Oh, cunning John," when his groveling back disappeared at the end of the corridor, Victor immediately put on a new, shining smile, and he said lovingly: "Sooner or later he will spoil the guests." of."

"...you really enjoy people thinking of you as a wanted criminal, don't you?" said Yuuri, who had been silently following Viktor since just now, and he didn't realize until the moment Viktor put the duffel bag on the counter : This bag looks more like a military canvas bag full of guns in a gangster movie, but it may actually only hold a few fancy shirts and boxers, and a few razors. "I want bacon."

"A tuna sandwich, no problem." Victor smiled and handed him a fishy sandwich, which Yuuri reluctantly accepted, "Are you not afraid that someone will call the police?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Victor asked back, taking the change out of his pocket and counting, "I'll tell you a little secret, in case you haven't noticed: I'm not a real murderer! - Don't tell anyone! What do you want to drink? ? There's a vending machine downstairs."

"Anything, uh—mineral water."

"Oh dear Yuuri," Victor said, "Cavities again?"

Yuuri's lips pursed together. "Yeah," he said dryly, "and I have a dentist appointment—this Wednesday."

Victor didn't show a guilty expression at all, he shrugged, "You can make an appointment with him later." He turned and walked towards the corridor, playing with a few coins in his hand, "Oh right." He suddenly Said, "This is for you." He took out Yuuri's own wallet from his trouser pocket and threw it at him, and Yuuri caught it subconsciously, looking very surprised.

"Where did you come from?" he asked, resisting the urge to open his wallet.

"It's on the tea table," Victor said. "I wanted to take your phone with me, but it's in the teapot, boiled—you guys had so much fun last night, bro. You What do you want?"

Yuuri stared at him blankly, repeating what Victor said word by word in his mind, he said, "Uh...mineral water."

"Pepsi, no problem. Smart choice." Victor said deliberately, Yuuri rolled his eyes at him, and Victor walked away with a smile, but Yuuri wasn't worried at all-this guy was the one who hugged Yuuri who fell asleep while watching a movie It's been 15 years since the person who went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, but Yuuri knew that no matter what Victor said to himself, he would never really do anything against Yuuri—except for kidnapping him—other than that Besides, he had something more to worry about. As soon as Victor left, he immediately opened the wallet with trembling hands, and opened a sandwich zipper under the photo frame. When he saw that the thin old photo was still in it When there was no trace of being passive, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact—he hesitated, he hadn’t taken it out to look at it for a long time, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is very difficult for people to resist this temptation, when there is a photo in front of them, almost everyone will think Take it out and look at it, and use it as a key to unlock that door of fond memories - it's an instinctive reaction, and that's why there are photo frames in wallets in the first place: People love photos, Yuuri's photos There is a photo of him and his first pet dog, Xiao Wei, in the frame, and the reason why he hides the other photo like a thief is the main reason for his hesitation at the moment: it will only open a shady door. The gate of his memories, grabbing him into the vortex.

At this moment, Victor's face suddenly poked out from the door, he still had that smiling expression on his face, and he said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, the Dr. Pepper you want is right?"

Yuuri was taken aback, and frantically tried to hide the wallet, Victor rushed in and asked innocently, "Hey——Yuuri, what are you doing?" He walked into the room while pouring out a bottle of mineral water Throwing it towards Yuuri, Yuuri subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it in mid-air, the wallet fell off, and was grabbed by Victor with quick eyesight and quick hands. "Haha, I fell for it!" Victor shouted triumphantly like a school boy who succeeded in pranking, and opened his wallet.Yuuri almost couldn't breathe - but thankfully he just looked at the frame and didn't pay attention to the mezzanine. "Oh, poor old Victor," he said, "what a fine dog you were when he died, didn't you?"

"You promised not to mention his full name," Yuuri grumbled, his face burning, and Victor had given him the name because he was the pup of Victor's large poodle, the Makachin, and a poodle The cub, Viktor named him after himself in a serious manner, and gave him to Yuuri, and announced the appointment of Yuuri as the godfather of Makachin's son, "so that no matter where you are, you can have Viktor with you." 12 Victor said, Yuuri buried his face in the fur on the puppy's back, his eyes and mind were sour and sweet. ——It turned out that in less than five years, Xiao Wei was hit by a car while crossing the road and died. This child is really as worrying as the human Victor. Two years later, that unfortunate accident happened , so there is no Victor in his life.

Yuuri is caught in a sad memory, even so, his heart is still clenched high, Victor may open the folder at any moment and see another photo, he can hardly breathe, but luckily Victor closed the wallet, Throw it back.He pulled out a carton of milk from the wide pocket of his sweatshirt, stuck a straw into the seal and took a sip while Yuuri watched. "For what?" he asked, "I'm practicing a healthy lifestyle."

"You've been eating junk food all day." Yuuri pointed out that his secret was back in his hands, which brought back the spirit of his bickering with Viktor, and Viktor took a big gulp, his cheeks puffed up, He shrugged.

"That's why I asked for ketchup - who's the shame now?"

"It's you," Yuuri said, and Victor sat down on the bed, and he sat down opposite Victor, and the two of them started eating sandwiches.

"So," as they munched, the stress and sadness dissipating as their stomachs gradually filled with sandwiches, they actually tasted pretty good, nothing like their humble exterior, Viktor bit into a pickle slice He said, "How about the tuna?"

"Not bad," Yuuri said, "Try it?" Viktor shrank back in a hurry.

"Ugh—take it away—" he muttered, "hate fish."

"Wow, your healthy diet really made you a whole new person." Yuuri sneered, "Since when did you stop eating fish?"

"I've never eaten fish," Victor said. "When did you ever see me eat fish?"

"Uh, for the fifth grade spring trip, you gave me a whole box of fish soup..." Yuuri suddenly realized something, and with an "ah", Victor nodded with a smirk on his face.

"I really didn't expect you to eat it all," Victor said, "Yakov made it according to the recipe left by Lilia, I love the old guy, but I must say, he is a good cook It sucks - I gave it to you as a joke." He made a sad face, "didn't think you'd like fish soup, you fish soup boy - that was my first taste of betrayal. "

"Fuck you," Yuuri said, wanting to smear tuna sauce on that pretendingly sad face, "I had to mobilize the whole class to eat that shit! People called me 'Salted Fish Victory' all the way through middle school born'!"

Victor rolled on the bed laughing so hard that he almost choked to death on the bread crumbs.He had had enough laughing before he sat up, red-faced and disheveled, and said straight, "Oh dear—I'm so sorry." He couldn't help falling down laughing as soon as he had finished.Yuuri looked at him helplessly and laughed too.

10 minutes later, the last delicious sandwich was eaten, and Victor lay on the bed rubbing his belly while moaning—he was half-laughing, Yuuri started to pick up the trash with red ears, and Victor suddenly kicked him butt.

"It was really fun back then, wasn't it?" he said softly. "When I was a kid."

Yuuri said "hmm", he was embarrassed to turn his head, Viktor leaned his head on the edge of the bedside table, his face was flushed as if he had drunk too much, and there were tears welling up in his eyes from laughing, which made his eyes It looked wet under the lamp.Victor kicks Yuuri's ass again.

"Do you want a bath?" he asks, sounding like he's falling asleep—is this guy a baby, sleepy when he's full?Yuuri grumbled inwardly, shaking his head.

"In one of those brain-like bathtubs where a killer has washed himself?" Yuuri said, "No thanks, I'd rather keep my distance." Victor laughed again.

"I agree," Victor said, "but if you want to clean up, I brought you three changes of clothes—I couldn't find your Spider-Man underwear, so I brought you regular ones."

Yuuri dumped the trash into the trash can in a ball, and turned to look at him with his hips akimbo.

"Let me tell you a secret," he said, "I'm 23—I've stopped wearing Spider-Man underwear for a long time."

"You even betrayed Spider-Man," Viktor said, and Yuuri almost suspected that what he had just drank was not baby milk but denatured alcohol, because he sounded happy and sad, in a state that only drunk people have In the state, "You really want to leave the past behind, right?"

Yuuri's mouth opens and closes, closes and opens again, suddenly feeling a little dry. "Uh, I..." If he wants to break the contract, this is actually a good time. He can admit to Victor that he is not that brave. After this day of getting along, he also thinks that all of this is terrible-the two of them are together , tearing each other down, smiling at each other—but how should he speak?Especially, after all the disrespectful things he said to Victor during the day.

"Victor, I..."

The opportunity was fleeting, and Victor stood up, stretched, and seemed to have fully recovered from his drunken milk state, and he looked very refreshed.

"Anyway, the murderer is going to take a bath." Victor said, "Good night, Your Royal Highness." He flipped his hand in the air and saluted exaggeratedly. out of the bathroom. "Ouch! What a cute little shower!" he exclaimed from the bathroom, poking his head out. "Why don't you try it?"

"No thanks." Yuuri smirked at him, "His Royal Highness is about to go to bed. Step back."

"Yes," Viktor says respectfully, offering another salute to Yuuri, who realizes (which makes him flush suddenly) that he's shirtless.

There was the sound of splashing water in the bathroom, Victor deliberately screamed "Oh, it's so cold, it's so cold!", and then stopped when no one paid attention to him.Yuuri was lying on the bed bored, took out his wallet by accident, opened it, and saw that the eight-year-old was holding his puppy Victor and smiling carefreely at the camera at the door of his house—if life could be as simple as that forever, it would be worth it How nice.

"Yuuri."

The person who was called was startled and almost jumped out of bed.He met Victor, who poked his head out and said wetly, "That..."

"what happened again?"

"I forgot to get a change of clothes." Victor said embarrassingly (?), "Help me."

"..."

"Don't forget the panties!"

"I can't forget!" Yuuri blushed and shouted with a thick neck, and opened the luggage bag - it was surprisingly organized, the clothes were rolled into the most space-saving strips and packed in small bags according to categories, Yuuri was not surprised to find Victor Even packed two ties.Victor is the best packer he has ever met. Although he looks very casual, he often helps Yuuri pack his schoolbags and has accumulated a wealth of experience.Yuuri quickly grabbed the change of clothes, but he found that the process of finding his underwear was very difficult, Victor stuffed it too neatly, something like a laundry bag was pressed on the underwear pocket, and he had to struggle Pulled it out, but still knocked the toiletry bag off the ground - there was a loud crash, as if countless small hard things were colliding with each other inside.Yuuri froze for a moment, he realized that he was familiar with the voice, and his breathing tightened all of a sudden - for more than a year, he had been taking painkillers under the doctor's prescription until the rehabilitation was over and he started to walk.

Please no pain meds Please no pain meds.He thought to himself, oh my god, he never thought about it, they say Victor's injuries are minor, but what if something goes unnoticed until years later?His mind is in a mess.He opened the wash bag with trembling hands. The small yellow medicine bottle was caught in a pile of things. He pulled it out and slowly turned it to the label side.

- Vitamin B.He heaved a sigh of relief, but still uneasy opened the bottle cap and took a look. At this moment, a voice rang above his head.

"Yuuri, what are you doing?" Victor asked, Yuuri almost threw everything in his arms at him in shock, he turned his head, Victor had a towel around his waist, his hair was wet and dripping, when When he sees what Yuuri is holding, his expression changes imperceptibly, and if Yuuri spends less time with him for even one day, he might miss that expression.It's just a matter of one tenth and one second.

"What's this?" Yuuri asked, and Victor laughed.

"Vitamins," he said, taking the bottle out of Yuuri's hands without a word, and throwing it in the duffel bag.

"Then can I take it?" Yuuri pursued, and before Victor showed up, he had already seen the appearance of the pill: a white, oval pill, not a painkiller, but he was also familiar with this kind of medicine-a sleeping pill , he still occasionally needs the help of such drugs, because more than once in his dream he saw a big truck rushing towards him and Victor, so that he screamed crazily in his dream.

Victor needs sleeping pills?He felt uneasy in his heart. Was there anything that made him so anxious?

"No." Victor said uncharacteristically shortly, "Aren't you going to bed?"

"I've been taking sleeping pills for a long time since the car accident," Yuuri said bluntly, "so when I saw it, I didn't confuse it with vitamins. What happened? Did you sleep well? You What—" He was about to say, what's on your mind, but Victor cut him off.

"The matter at work is fine now." Victor said, "If you care so much, you should contact me more." He turned around, looking very indifferent.Yuuri froze.

"Victor..." he moved his lips, "I'm sorry... do you want to talk about..."

"I don't want to." Victor flatly refused. It sounded very neat for the first time today. He turned his head and saw Yuuri's expression. His attitude suddenly softened again. He spread his five fingers and combed his wet hair. He said softly, "Sorry...that's not what I meant." He said, "Just had trouble sleeping for a while, but it's totally fine now. I just took it just in case. Don't worry about me, okay ?” He said, and began to put on his clothes carelessly in front of Yuuri, Yuuri had to turn his head away, not to look at those muscular contours and that thing further down, between his legs.Victor got dressed and started looking for his electric toothbrush like no one else.

Twenty minutes later, both of them were lying on the strange-smelling blanket, Yuuri was sleepy as soon as he lay down, and Victor hadn't moved since touching the pillow, Yuuri lay with his back to Victor, pretending to be asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Yuuri didn't even dare to move, his back was stiff and aching, at this moment, Victor, who had already let out a small, even snoring, suddenly sat up, nimbly and lightly Jumped out of bed, walked to the luggage bag in the dark.Yuuri heard a soft "bang", hard objects collided with each other slightly, and finally there was a swallowing sound, and then Victor tiptoed back to the bed and took a sip of Yuuri's mineral water.

Victor lay back on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

Yuuri opened his eyes in the darkness, turned over and looked at the stained ceiling.

He found himself having trouble sleeping.
