[ Viktor has been doing some poking around and, honestly? He's a little offended that Christophe never breathed a word to him. He may not have Viktor's number (why, oh why?) but it isn't as though the current reigning world champion and soon-to-be Olympian is hard to get a hold of on social media, or that people wouldn't happily point Chris in the right direction since it's where everyone was facing anyhow.
(This is all assuming he cared for Viktor's well wishes and attention, and who didn't want that?)
They've only brushed shoulders on the circuit, but he's had Viktor's polite interest since just before his senior debut. Only in recent years has dear Christophe found his niche as his body matured and made his strengths quite evident. And those were mainly behind him, so if he didn't know that Viktor was taking notice it's entirely understandable.
And as a fellow who also shares his birthday on a major holiday can attest, it's easy to forget and see it baked into the holiday itself. Which is why Viktor wheedles his address out of a blushy clerks manning the phones for the skating federation he and Christophe share and he proceeds to order several dozen roses and boxed (Swiss, of course) chocolates to his apartment to brighten up his special day. A note is left on the most prominent dozen, arranged in the shape of a heart and filled with a grip of younger pink roses, still buds. ]
Beautiful flowers for a beautiful boy. Happy birthday!
