Yuri's POV
I followed Victor and the rest of the team out onto the ice.
"Don't worry, all you gotta do is stay back here, and when the other team comes towards you, you just try your best to block it," Victor explained
A/N the inner 12 year old in me is screaming violently rn
"Okay, I'll try!" I said as the whistle blew signaling the game to continue.
Most of the "action" stayed towards Karatsu's side, until the last period. We were up by one, but the players from the opposing team were coming towards us quickly.
"Get ready!" Victor yelled.
I nodded and watched them close in on us.
The player who had the puck was skating right towards me. I began to skate towards him and gripped the hockey stick tightly. When he slid past me, I leaned out to hit the puck out of his possession. And it worked. Emil got the puck and skated towards the other team's goal. He shot, but their goalie blocked it. The clock stopped and everyone returned to their positions.
"27 seconds left to go!" The announcer roared.
"Okay Yuri, you got this!" Victor encouraged.
I looked at him and smiled. I couldn't see much of his face, but I felt like he was smiling from ear to ear.
The whistle blew again and the game had started back up.
(Small timeskip brought to you by the large amount of tissues Georgi has gone through)
"4 seconds left!" The announcer said.
We were still one point ahead of Karatsu. The whistle had blown for the last time signaling the game had started once again.
Karatsu had the puck, and one of their players was skating frantically towards the goal when the buzzer had sounded. The crowd erupted into cheers as the announcer yelled,
"Hasetsu is in the championship! Hasetsu is in the championship!"
I watched Karatsu sulk off the ice while most of our team gathered in the center, cheering and celebrating. I then turned to Victor who whipped off his helmet, threw it on top of the goal and began skating towards me. I took my helmet off as well and set it down on the ice, then looked back up at Victor. He was running to me, arms spread wide. I grinned and skated forward. Victor grabbed my shoulders and then did something incredible.
He kissed me.
It lasted about 5 seconds, but it was probably the best 5 seconds of my life. I hugged him back, then he pulled away. He looked down at me and smiled.
"Let's get dinner," he suggested.
"I'd like that," I said as we skated off.
(Larger timeskip brought to you by Yurio's angsty teenage personality)
We were in the car, driving toward my house.
"Where did you want to go?" Victor asked.
"I don't know, what are you in the mood for?" I asked.
"How about pork cutlet bowls?" He asked and smiled.
"Sure," I smiled back.
Victor drove to my house and parked the car. He got out, then ran over to my side and opened the door. I thanked him and walked with him to the door.
"Hey Yuri! How was the hockey game?" Mari asked me as we walked in.
"Good!" I said and lead Victor to a table.
Mari followed us and gave us menus.
"Take your time, I'm here all night!" Mari laughed and walked away.
Victor didn't bother to look at the menu, so he left it closed on the table.
"I'm assuming you're getting the pork cutlet bowl?" I smiled.
Victor grinned like a toddler and shook his head.
Mari came back with a notepad uh hand.
"Yuri, what can I get ya?" Mari turned to me.
"I'll get a pork cutlet bowl," I said.
"I'll have the same!" Victor raised his hand.
"Alrighty, coming right up!" Mari walked into the kitchen.
(One last timeskip brought to you by Yuri's slightly unhealthy pork cutlet bowl obsession)
Victor and I had finished eating, and I had walked him out to his car.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Victor unlocked his car.
"Yeah!" I said, maybe a tad too excitedly.
"Bye!" Victor said happily, then pecked me on the cheek.
My cheeks flushed pink.
"See ya!" I said as walked back inside.
"I knew it dad! You owe me 2,000 yen!" Mari yelled as I walked in.
"Gosh darn it, I thought it was gonna be longer before he got a boyfriend!" Dad said.
"What?!" I asked.
"Um, get to bed Yuri! I'll explain tomorrow!" My dad pushed me up the stairs.
I sighed and walked into my bedroom, then changed into pajamas. I shut my door, and quickly fell asleep.
WoOhOo
For reference, 2,000 yen is equivalent to
$17.62
£14.17
€16.72
