Your blood 》Yuri On Ice

Never give up

Yuri Katsuki

I wake up to Victor's familiar fresh scent. He's fast asleep with one arm still holding me close. This is the first time I've woken up before him. Usually he'd be dragging me out of bed and to Hasetsu rink with inhuman levels of energy.

I guess he had a difficult day yesterday.

I detangle myself from him and slide out of bed, leaving the room and making my way to the fridge. There's nothing much but snacks. It's times like these when I miss my mum the most.

After a short moment of thought I decide to butter two thick slices of bread and throw them in a hot frying pan. It's the unhealthy way of making toast but the flavour is just so much better.

While I wait, I spoon some coffe granules and chocolate powder into a mug and turn it into a mocha. Before long the bread is golden so I put it on a plate and put said plate on a tray with the coffe blend. These scents are sure to wake Victor up.

"Victor" I whisper as I stick the tray under his nose. He stirs ever so slightly and his nose twitches. It worked.

"Morning..." he smiles as his His eyelids open just enough so that he can see me. He's so pretty it's hard to believe he's even real.

"I'm going for a run to Hasetsu castle. Meet me there when you feel up to it ok?" I set the tray down on the table in my room and smile back at him. I feel like we're so much closer, so much more connected now.

Victor nods and drifts back to sleep. I take the oportunity to quickly change into my pastel blue jumper and JSF track pants.

I mumble a thanks to Victor as I retrieve a box of pocky sticks that I presume he bought yesterday. Once I have my water, phone, and keys in my blue JSF jacket I'm ready to go.

The air is cold against my face as I jog across the bridge to Hasetsu. I wave to the man I see fishing there. I fail to understand the point in fishing in winter. It's too cold to be sitting outside waiting for nothing to happen. But he probably doesn't see it that way. I am more of a glass half empty person. I've always been.  Probably because my life has been one misfortune after another.

I wonder if Victor ate what I made him? I don't even know if he likes coffe or hot chocolate. I just went by my gut feeling. I've seen him drinking herbal teas in the past... Maybe I should have made him Peper mint or something instead...

why am I so conserned about his dietary preferances? I don't care about him that much do I?

Who am I kidding? Of course I do.

I reach the ice castle and get in the zone. This is my last chance to win. And I'll do anything in my power so get there.

After about an hour and a half of jump practice I spot Victor walk in wearing a small smile and a black T shirt with gray trousers. He's stunning even in the simplest of clothing.

"Wow Yuri, you're triple salchow is looking pretty flawless now" I glide to the edge of the ice where he is and remove my earphones. I've worked really hard on the jump so I'm glad to hear my coach praise it.

"Thank you Victor"

"Oh and thank you for the breakfast. It was wonderful" I respond with a broad smile. So he does like mocha. I knew it.

"Um Victor, could you help me with my combination quad? I feel as if my second double is always weaker than the first" he hesitates for a moment then nods and removes his guards before gliding onto the ice.

"You want to do it again? How many times has it been already?" Victor is sweating as he holds on to the rink wall.

"Hmm... only seven" somethings not right. Why is Victor already a panting mess? He should be able to go at least double the time that I can.

"Victor are you alright?" He straightens and looks down at me as if I've just said the most outrageous thing imaginable.

"Oh course I am. Now let's go, you on your own now, I'll give you feedback" I eye Victor cauciously but still follow his order.

"You know what Yuri?" After I've done my short program rutine Victor adreses me; "I think you've got the next round in the bag" my cheeks prickle at the comment. If Victor thinks I can do this then I can and I will do this.

"Yuri I was curious about something..." Victor looks to the vast ocean as we sit side by side on the cold sand of the beach.

"What would that be?" I watch his long hair blow in the wind as I wait for him to respond.

"After you win the GP, will you compete again?" He really is confident that i'll win. I like that.

"... yes. I'd like to so I can cure my mom aswel" the reason my mother is ill is because she drank unblessed blood during pregnancy. Ever since then she's been frail. I know that royal blood can help her.

"Right... Can I coach you again?" I blink a few times at Victor's direct question. His coaching me never did get resolved. Do I want him to be my coach?

"Only if you can juggle your competitions and coaching" I decide on the spot. I don't want to see Victor die as a competitive skater because of me. But I don't want to let him go.

"Yes! I can! Thank you so much Yuri!" He throws himself at me, sending us both onto the sand and hugs me tightly. I chuckle at his exitement and hug him back.

"Yuri I..." Victor lifts his body so that his face hovers over mine as his grin turns to a loving smile.

"You have sand all over your face" I laugh lightly as I brush it of his forehead, then his eyebrows, then his nose and finally his lips. His smile Is gone when my fingers pass over his lips, instead, he stares at me with an intensity I've never seen from him before.

"Vic-" before I can speak soft lips press against my own. Fireworks explode inside me as I stare into the passionate ocean that is Victor's eyes. All too soon the kiss is over. But my entire being is still exploding with emotion. Victor just kissed me and it was the best thing in the world.

It's at this moment that I realise something important. If I don't win, and I do die at 25, I couldn't have asked for a better final year. Never in my life have I been so happy.

An: I promised happiness and I'd like to think I delivered!
By the way updates may possibly get slower because I'm a busy student in my final year of high/secondary school.  (Sorry :3) I will try to keep up though.
