Yours, Eventually | Viktor x Reader |

My beloved friend,

I'm becoming awfully sappy and sentimental lately, aren't I? My mind has been filled with longing thoughts of you for some time now. I do miss you. Terribly.

I miss your face, your voice, your short temper (I do hope it's only for me), your habit of putting me in check. I miss seeing your scowl fade into a laugh. I miss your presence.

I'm relieved to hear that you enjoy my antics. I'm simply keeping you on your toes. That said. It warms my heart to hear that you're just as eager to see me as I am you.

I'm almost done. Just a little longer. I promise you, I want nothing more than to see you again.

My darling friend,

"Longing thoughts", hm? How sweet.

I miss you terribly as well. Every day, your absence makes itself known in small moments. I miss the way you draw me out of myself— how you needle, tease, and challenge me with such maddening ease. I miss knowing that no matter how much you rile me up, it's always with care. And yes, even your antics, though I reserve the right to roll my eyes at them.

My temper remains yours for the moment, do not worry.

Eagerly awaiting our reunion,

— Your friend

My dearest troublemaker,

You wound me— in the best of ways— with your words. It seems I've been missed after all. I read your letter with a smile I couldn't quite hide, even if I tried. Jayce even asked me what I found so amusing. But do not worry. I've managed to keep our correspondence private thus far. It's comforting to know my absence has left a mark, even if only in the form of eye rolls and fond exasperation.

Your temper being mine, even temporarily, is a gift I do not take lightly.

There's a quiet comfort in knowing that you think of me in the little moments. I think of you too— more often than I ought to, perhaps. I carry your words as I wait.

Not long now. Just hold on.

Viktor,

Please keep Jayce away from our letters. As much as I've grown fond of him from your letters over the years, I do believe he may get the wrong idea from our teasing.

You seem surprised that you've had such an impact on my life. We've known each other for most of our existences, you think too little of yourself.

It is nice to know that I am still often on your thoughts. You are often in mine as well. I was able to make kolaches today. They made me think of you and your insatiable sweet tooth.

With eager patience,

— Your friend

My dearest friend,

I shall continue to keep our letters private. I fear Jayce would only tease if he knew the extent to which you occupy my thoughts. The man is relentless, however, when it comes to my personal life. He's always quick to ask about you when I receive your latest letter.

It's not that I'm entirely surprised by your words. I simply like knowing that I've imprinted myself on your heart. I would rather not easily be forgotten. You have no idea how much I like the thought of being on your mind at any given moment. I wish I were there to see it.

I'm glad you seem to think I underestimate myself. That way, you can tell me I'm brilliant and an incredible friend more often.

I have fond memories of your baking. Now I find myself craving sweets.
