With the Grand Prix coming up Ice skater Yuri Plisetsky starts to train at your ballet studio. Lucky for you, you get deemed his personal mentor and well? the rest is history!
hiiiii I don't own Yuri on ice or any of the characters or this lovely p...
class had finally ended. everything was normal as other students hurriedly stuffed their belongings into bags and rushed out the door. you, however, took your time as usual. you noticed the teacher and yuri having a conversation over by the piano but you disregarded figuring it had nothing to do with you. (you were kind of wrong.) anyways, you had your night planned out. it was saturday night so you knew katya and pavel would be monopolizing the tv. they always watched disney movies on saturday night since they can't actually stay up because we have sundays off. you were going to take a nice shower and put on some sweatpants and then watch some crunchy roll.
"y/n," dang seems like someone else has other plans. you walked over to your teacher.
"yes ma'am?"
"would you do me a favor and clean up the studio for the night? i would but i have to rush out. oo yuri here can help, right yuri??"
yuri gave a silent nod.
"great! y/n here's the keys, lock up when your done. have a nice night kids!" and with that your teacher was out the door. you sighed and turned to yuri.
"do you want to clean the mirrors or the floor?" you stood there with your arms crossed and one eyebrow raised. yuri said nothing and instead made his way to the closet and pulled out a mop. 'mirrors for me it is then.' you thought as you grabbed your cleaning supplies.
the cleaning was painfully silent. it was kind of awkward considering you thought you guys were friends now. you know, after the whole popcorn thing? you sighed and walked over to the stereo.
"what are you doing?" yuri questioned.
"well if you're not going to talk to me i'm going to listen to music." you huffed as you put your playlist on shuffle. you cleaned as you sang along under your breath while smiling to yourself. you didn't notice but yuri looked up from time to time but always returned his gaze to the floor. you wondered why he wouldn't look anywhere else but the floor. you didn't realize it's because he couldn't keep himself from blushing.
{BECAUSE YOU ARE A CUTIE PATOOTIE AND THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THIS STORY AND IRL!!}
Anywho...
all of a sudden you both paused and perked up. this song you both knew, though you weren't going to admit it...
this song was used by yuri in his junior years as a partner dance. you knew this because you spent a few nights internet stalking him, you know as you do. you were dragged from your thoughts as you realized you couldn't hear the mop anymore. you looked behind you to see yuri dancing his part. it was like you weren't even there. you had to hand it to him the kid had stage presence. you could stand there watching him dance forever but you decided you were going to be bold bold.
the music fluttered to cue the entrance of his female partner. at first you felt stupid watching his video over and over under your covers at night but now it might pay off. if he's so fun to watch maybe he'd make a good partner...
he didn't even seem phased the two of you danced together as if the song was only made for you. he lifted you effortlessly and his hands seemed to fit your waist perfectly. you both danced your heart out and ended in the final pose. him holding your back with your faces inches apart. you both breathed heavily in each other's faces.
"thank you." you said as he gazed into your (e/c) eyes. he would never show it but he was mesmerized. when had you learned the dance? how did you work together flawlessly without any prior rehearsals? why had you thanked him? you noticed the confusion on his face due to his furrowed eyebrows and broke away from his grasp.
"an- anyways, we should probably lock up now."
"yeah." was yuri's only response.
you both put away your cleaning supplies and locked up the studio without another word. you tried to speed walk to avoid the awkward silence on the way back to the dorms but yuri caught up with you. so you walked together without a word shared. you were uncomfortable because that's so awkward!! he probably knows you stalked him on the internet and learning his routine???? who does that??? you bit your nails out of habit when you're anxious.
yuri walked in silence but he wasn't checked out. he was instead very observant. he noticed you get increasingly more uncomfortable and anxious. he knew it was because of him and all he wanted to do was fix it. he felt guilty that you felt so anxious around him. you started biting your nails. yuri has noticed this was one of your bad habits. he'd watched you bite your nails when talking to teachers and other authority figures. he'd watched you bite your thumb specifically whenever you guys were served with a combination with frappés in them, he'd noted that's your least favorite ballet exercise. but he'd never seen you bite your nails in front of him before.
without thinking he grabbed your hand from your mouth and held it. you jumped at first not expecting his touch but he felt you relax as you unclench your fist and let him intertwine his fingers with yours.
so you two walked. in silence... but holding onto each other in the dark.
