Reverence (Yuri Plisetsky x OC)

Dasvidanyia

I showed up to everyone of their training's during the week, at Victor's request. It was amazing to see them develop their routines. I even got to pitch in my opinion every now and then and Yurio was putting up less of a fight every time Victor took what I said into consideration. I'm not sure if I could call Yurio a friend at this point but I think I was wearing him down. We'd almost laughed out asses off when we tried to see who could get their leg up higher. I lost. Boy was bendy as hell. I timed his running and did stretches with him. I'd like to say we were almost friends. Victor kept coming up with weirder and weirder training's. Which is how I ended up at the side of a waterfall in the middle of Autumn.

"I'm going to kill him." Yurio shivered and I gave them a sympathetic look.

"I have a surprise for you when you get out." I smiled, he looked over at me - his teeth chattering.

"You d-d-do?"

"Mhmm." I grinned "Pirozhok!" hoping to god I got the pronunciation right, his eyes widened as "you seem kinda mad all the time, I thought it might make you smile." I said, digging around in my bag "I googled the recipe so if you don't like them throw them out but..." I pulled out the pastries I'd made and he looked at me in shock.

"Why would you do that for me?" he whispered

"We're friends, aren't we?" I smiled, my hands shaking. Oh god he hated it.

"I.. I don't..." he said, the water still crashing on his shoulders, he tuned out staring slightly to the right of my head.

"Yurio?" I frowned, he didn't reply, I reached out and touched his hand "Yuri?" he suddenly snapped back, his eyes wide and he looked almost vulnerable "I think you should call it a day; you look frozen."

"A-ah, yes." he said, his green eyes wide as he followed me out the water. I handed him a soft white towel and he rubbed his head in silence. He sniffed suddenly and then sneezed, I smiled gently - pulling the fabric tissue I kept in my bag out and handing it to him.

"Th-thanks." his teeth still chattering and he rubbed his ace as he let off another sneeze.

"Here." I said, holding out one of the pastries to him - they were still warm from where I'd wrapped them in foil "I mean if you don't like them it's okay..." I blushed

He took it from my hand and took a bite, his eyes went wide "they're... not terrible.." he said

"Really?" I beamed "it took me a couple tries..."

"Aimi?" Yurio said and I brought my eyes to his, his cheeks were red but he kept my eye contact "thank you..."

"It's nothing!" I blushed "we should get back.."

"Urgh.." he rubbed his nose, with my tissue then looked at me.

"Keep it." I smiled

"So, are you guys getting decked out in costumes for tomorrow?" I asked as we ate dinner the next day.

"Oh, I forgot about that." Yurio frowned "I didn't bring anything."

"I could always lend you something!" I grinned cheekily

"What!" he snapped

"I was joking, Yuri." I giggled "but do you think you could get something? I think there's a skate store in the next town."

"Don't worry about that!" Victor said, pointing at the box in the corner I hadn't thought to question "I've had every costume I ever worn shipped in from Russia."

"Really?" I beamed "can I look?"

"Knock yourself out." Victor smiled and I bounded to my feet, shortly followed who my brother who was probably living his dream right now. Yuri and Yurio spent a while digging through the boxes trying to pick something to wear. I frowned when I spotted a length of sparkly light pink. I'd watched every one of his performances and I don't remember that.
