Yuri x Victor (Victori) - Dancing on the Blades - Oneshot

Dancing on the Blades

Yuri's Pov

"Again, Yuri!"

I shake my head as I fail to pull off a quad yet again. I swear...

I attempt once more, but this time I lose balance and when I land the strength in my right leg gives way and I fall once more, causing my back to crash onto the ice. My fatigue demands rest as blood rushes throughout my body. I'm tired of this, I'll never meet up to everyone's expectations, especially Victor's. I close my eyes when I realize all this was pointless, I will never be the skater I dreamed of. I lie there defeated.

'Come on' I think as Yuri grows closer to the hardest part of his program 'I know you can do it, you just have to believe you can too.' Here it goes- Oh no..

"Again Yuri!" I yell, trying to urge him on, but instead I witness a look of utter disappointment flash upon his face as he shakes his head. Even so, he gets up and tries again.

But this time in his skating up until the Quad is sloppy and you can tell his mind is elsewhere. What is he thinking of that could interfere so much with his practice? He makes the jump- *crash* I sigh "I better talk to him.."

I glide upon the frozen water to which he lay until I bend over to get a look at his face. If it weren't for his heavy breathing, I would have thought he was dead. Maybe I was a little to hard on him... No. This intensity is crucial. I just need to think of something to get him going...

"Yuri..." I give a close eyed smile "Sleeping during practice now are we?" His face hardens and he doesn't respond. I sigh and kneel next to him "Look, I'll let you in on a little secret... I'm just like you."

He looks at me with disbelief "What do you mean by that?"

I let out a small laugh. "You see, when I saw that video, I knew for sure at that very moment you were like me." I sit next to him as he sits up "Every year, yeah sure I'd win Gold, but every year after competition I had to come up with a program much better than the year before. To be honest, it scared me like hell to know that newer competition was always coming in to knock me off my spot. Every new year came with new challenges I had to face until finally it just got to the point where I just didn't know what to do anymore..." I look at him lovingly, hoping I come off to him properly "That was until you showed up in my life. You may consider me your idol, but you're also my inspiration.

I stand back up and offer him a hand "What say we take a break?" He smiles slightly, eyes still tinted with sadness. However he still accepts my offer and I pull him up.

With that I pull the remote from my belt and turn on the stereo to one of my favorite songs I listen to to calm me down, Ave Maria - Symphonic Arrangement.

At first Yuri was shy, but nonetheless I take his hands and we glide from side to side, swaying around the ice to each beat. He was a natural... No surprise there.

'WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAAAAT?!?!' I thought and hoped to God Victor couldn't notice how nervous I was when he took my hands. I can't believe I'm doing this. I mean I'm not complaining, this is wonderful but... Well it is kinda nice...

I begin to relax and sway with him. He smiles with my compatibility. Eventually we started getting creative and began pulling bits from his past programs and mine. It was so special, like one of us would play out a scene meant for a solo, but then the other would fill it in like it was meant to be there. It was amazing.

By the end of the song, we both were breathing heavy, only just now noticing how tired we were from the fun we were having. He smiled "I'm glad you're having a good time, why don't we do this again sometime?"

I smirked, my flirtatious side showing as I glide past him. "You're right, and I'll make sure to show you a better time sometime soon."

'WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAAAAT?!?!' My face turns red, totally not expecting that from sweet innocent Yuri.

He laughs, "I'm ready to practice again!"
