'Today is the day...Victor is finally going to coach us today.'

You looked towards Yuri who was lacing up his skates. He was obviously in a far better mood than the evening before. There was this determined glint in his eyes which you couldn't help but admire.

You allowed a small smile to grace your lips. You were glad that you managed to cheer him up.

You knew he was anxious about the 'Hot Springs on Ice' thing going on.

He suddenly stood up and zipped up his jacket. You snorted when you saw the funniest 'brave face' he has ever made to date.

Yurio head snapped up at the noise and narrowed his eyes at you, "What the heck are you doing here?"

You raised a brow at him, "I could be here if I want. It's a free country, grumpy ass kitten."

"Argh!! Stop calling me that!" he yelled, "It's bad enough that I got dubbed with that other stupid nick name."

You grinned mischievously, "Oh? I don't get why you hate it. 'Yurio the grumpy ass kitten' has a nice ring to it," you turned to Yuri, "don't you think?"

He just smiled and nodded, joining in on the fun.

"Ugh! I don't have time for this crap," Yurio got off of his seat and headed for the ice, "The last thing I need is the pig and the asshole ganging up on me."

As he left you and Yuri high fived. Ticking off Yurio was now one of your favorite past times.

You can check that off your to-do list now.

Once the three of you made it to the rink, you settled for watching on the sidelines.

Victor was already there and had set up his speaker.

"We will start by listening to the music." The silverette pressed the play button on his remote.

Soft, opera like music filled the rink.

"This piece has two arrangements, each has an opposing theme," Victor stated, "The title of it is 'On Love', Eros and Agape...have you two ever spent much time thinking about love?"

"нет," Yurio bluntly answered.

Yuri gulped. He subtly stole a glance at your direction, his face was tinging red. You noticed and gave him a smirk which just caused him to stiffen up.

Victor saw the brief exchange and smiled, "Alright then...how does the song make you feel? What does it say to you?"

Yuri cleared his throat, "It has a very pure, innocent sound. Like someone who hasn't experienced love yet." he said 'as-a-matter-of-fact'ly.

You sweat dropped.

Yurio rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I think it sucks. This innocence crap makes me want to puke." he retched.

Victor raised a brow, "Okay, how about this next one then?"

Victor pressed the next button and the song that played was entirely different from the first one. It was up-beat and more fast-paced than the one prior to it.

"This sounds so different..."

"I call dibs! This is the one I want to skate to!"

Victor nodded, "The first arrangement is 'On Love: Agape'. The theme is unconditional love," he paused, "This however, is 'On Love: Eros' and the theme of it is sexual love."

"I am going to have the two of you skate to these opposing themes...here are your assignments," He pointed to Yuri, "You'll skate to Eros," then to Yurio, "and you'll skate to Agape!"

Needless to say, they were speechless.

Heck, you didn't even understand what made Victor do what he did.

"Eh?!" "We should switch! That is so not me!"

Victor just smiled at their reaction. The little-

"You should always do the exact opposite of what people are expecting from you. How else can you surprise them," he tilted his head, "That's my motto~"

His expression didn't change but his words started cutting right through them , "The truth is, the two of you are actually far more mediocre than you think. The two of you need to be more self-aware."

You gulped. If those two were considered mediocre, than what did that mean for you?

The two of them were already sweating bullets.

Damn. Victor was savage. He didn't mince his words.

"I am surprised you don't realize how much work you both need to do on your images. Right now to the audience you are just a little piglet and a kitten. The two of you better be up to my standards by next week otherwise I wouldn't work with any of you." he pointed to the two of them, "But don't worry, seeing as you both are my fans, I'm sure you'll rise up to the challenge. You two can manage, can't you?"

You resisted the urge to face palm. 'The world doesn't always revolve around you, Victor...'

Yurio kicked at the ice with his toe pick, "Okay fine, I'll skate to Agape," he said almost begrudgingly. He gritted his teeth, "My senior division debut depends on it! But you better give me a program I could win with!"

Victor beamed, "Whether or not you win is entirely up to you," he placed his index finger under his lower lip, "It would be a winning program if I skated it~" he added as an after thought.

Yurio scoffed, "If I win, you are coming back to Russia with me! You will be my coach!" he yelled, "Do you accept those terms?!"

Victor nodded once, "I do," and turned to Yuri, "Well, what do you want from me? If you win, what is your reward?"

Yuri steeled himself. He took a deep breath.

"T-to...eat with you...pork cutlet bowls."

His answer surprised all three of you.

"I want to keep on winning and keep on eating pork cutlet bowls!" he declared, "So I'll skate to Eros and I will give it all the Eros I have got in me!"

You placed a hand on your mouth as you gasped. You couldn't help but feel proud of your little piggy-chan as he found the drive to do that (you only wondered what anything had to do with his favorite dish though).

"Good! That is what I like to hear!"

~Omake~

You pushed yourself back from your leaning position and turned to leave. Your mind racing a hundred miles per minute.

You were excited (and also a bit worried). You wonder how Yuri would pull Eros off.

"And where do you think you're going?"

Victor's voice stopped you dead on your tracks, "Huh?"

"You didn't think I would forget about you now, (Y/N)?"

Both Yuri's watched the exchange in anticipation.

"You're going to be skating in the 'Hot Springs on Ice' as well~!"

You gaped like a fish.

"WHAT?!"
