Made With Love (and katsudon)

look at that tiny Vitya with his head on the back of his wrist, mooning over his beautiful spinning crush

They bring home their child, a little girl named Masha and tell her they’ll get her a welcome home present. Masha’s obsessed with dinosaurs. They know this as it half their conversations with her during interviews and the visitations were straight up lists of her favourite dinosaur facts.

So it’s not the biggest of surprises when the four-year-old says “Please, please, please can I have a dinosaur.”

Yuuri blinks and smiles. He says “dinosaurs are extinct, sweetie. They’re all gone.”

Victor jabs him in the ribs for crushing her hopes and dreams but Masha only looks a little sad before they move in with their night.

Still, Victor’s baby girl wants a dinosaur? She’s getting a dinosaur.

Victor does research and consults with Yuuri as he plans the ultimate gift for little Masha. He buys supplies in secret and after about a month and a half of planning the surprise is ready.

When Masha comes home from school one day Yuuri tells her that they have her present waiting for her. When she gets home what does she find but a big, beautiful bird cage and three little budgies contained inside.

They’re beautiful with there green and blue bellies and excited little voices.

“When disaster hit some dinosaurs survived,” Victor says, smiling as Yuuri opens the cage, reaches inside and teaches Masha how to properly pet and handle the new addition to the family. “But to stay around on the new earth they had to adapt. These little guys, birds, are some of the dinosaurs closest living relatives.”

Masha’s eyes go wide and bright. “You got me three dinosaurs!”
