Sitting in the back of Viktor's car beside Yurio, all we do is compete. it's an hour drive to my aunts place and Viktor had insisted that it would be good 'bonding' for the team. And we play every competition possible. Eventually we fall silent, unable to think of any more games to compete at. We sit quietly, he squirms and fidgets, crossing and uncrossing his legs, finally I snap, "my gosh Yurio! What is wrong with you???" He looked at me, totally shocked, "w-what do you mean", he asked, eyes wide. "The fidgeting! Why??", I say, his eyes harden and he relaxes, "well, I was just, wondering if, you, hadanypicturesofthiscatofyours?", he looks sheepish. I blink several times before bursting into a fit of giggles.

Yurio's POV

After I ask her about pictures of her cat she blinks several times before bursting into a fit of giggles. My heart flutters at the sound of her light, bubbly giggles and I don't know why. I cross my arms and turn away, "forget it", I grumble. Suddenly there's a phone in my face, I turn to her and push it back so that I can actually see what's on the screen, it's an utterly adorable picture of her holding a pure white cat, her waist length chocolate hair was out and her eyes smiled.

I don't know who I think is cuter, I'll never tell anyone that of course, what would Viktor say

I don't know who I think is cuter, I'll never tell anyone that of course, what would Viktor say. What would Yakov or Yuuri say?! I decide to keep those thoughts to myself, don't want anyone to think I'm going soft!
"Yurio? Are you done staring at my phone yet? Can you please let go of my wrist, that hurts", I'm snapped away from my thoughts by her sweet voice, I look at my hand which is wrapped firmly around her wrist, I pull back and she tucks her phone back in her pocket before proceeding to rub her now red wrist. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mhurt you", for some reason my voice is quiet and I genuinely feel bad. Viktor glances at me through the rear view mirror and Yuuri turns in his seat, both look kind of shocked.

Viktor's POV
I hear Yurio's apology to this sassy new girl and I'm instantly shocked, in the entire time I've known him I've never known him to apologise to anyone, ever. Beside me Yuuri turns in his seat, his expression matching mine, he glances at me then back at Yurio, "was that? An apology? Yurio?" He smiles teasingly at the blonde boy, Yurio promptly glares right back. I chuckle and place my hand lovingly on Yuuri's jeans clad knee, he turns back, his face reddening as he smiles at me.

Madeleine's POV
As I see Yuuri turn when Viktor places a hand on his knee, I wonder, I turn to Yurio, he's facing out of the window. I tap his shoulder, he turns to look at me, the same mix of angry, sassy and hardness is back in his green eyes, I gesture to Viktor and Yuuri and raise my eyebrows, he nods slightly. I honestly wouldn't have picked that, but then again, when I think about it.
