Yuri on Ice || Seven Minutes in Heaven

「Yuuri Katsuki」

"As much as I wish I could play again, it's only fair we get to our other players as well," Viktor said.

Besides Yuri who sat further away from everyone with his arms crossed, everyone else seemed somewhat excited if not nervous for what was to come.

"Oh, yeah, I'm pumped!" JJ exclaimed dramatically.

"Remember, you still haven't been chosen yet," Viktor chuckled. "Speaking of which, let's officially get this round started."

The silver-haired Russian made his way over to the girls and didn't stop until he reached you. Your heart started beating rapidly when he flashed you a stunning smile and grabbed your hand.

"Let's see how interesting you make this round," was all he said before pulling you towards the center of the room.

It was difficult to not be nervous when everyone's eyes were focussed on you, even Yuri who previously wasn't even paying attention to the game had his eyes locked on you out of pure curiosity. Shakily, you reached a hand inside the bag and quickly grabbed the first slip of paper you felt. Unfolding it, you revealed the number six.

"N-number six?" you stuttered.

Everyone looked around to try and see who it was that was going next. Everyone except for Yuuri. He stood there frozen looking like a deer caught in headlights. It didn't take much to realize he was the one who was chosen for this round.

"Ah, Yuuri! I'm glad you're up next," Viktor said cheerily.

"Uh, Viktor, I really don't think I should play," the bespectacled man said nervously.

"Nonsense! You'll be fine."

"V-Viktor, please-"

"Remember, Yuuri," he interrupted. "You already agreed to it, you can't back out now."

Yuuri still had a pleading look on his face but after a few seconds of Viktor's smile never wavering, the black-haired man gave up.

"Fine, let's just get this over with," he sighed.

Viktor led the two of you into the closet before locking the door behind you both. The new dark surroundings didn't do much to help your nervousness. Yuuri looked just as uncomfortable as you did so at least you weren't alone for that.

"I'm sorry about before," he suddenly said.

"W-what?" you questioned nervously.

He rubbed his arm nervously as he leaned his back against the locked door.

"Before when I told Viktor I didn't want to do this," he said a little hesitantly. "I just get nervous easily, it had nothing to do with you. I didn't want you to think I have no interest in you - I mean, I don't! Um, I mean, you're very beautiful and you seem sweet so I guess that means I have some sort of interest... Agh, that isn't the point I'm trying to make!"

Even in the dark, you could tell just how bright his face had become and you couldn't help but giggle at the sight of him becoming so flustered like this.

"Oh, and now you're laughing at me, that's definitely a great sign."

"No no!" you said quickly. "I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just... I just think that was cute."

You smiled brightly at him and he couldn't help but smile too. Within only a few minutes, he managed to make you feel more comfortable than you usually felt around new people. Before time was completely up, you wanted to take advantage of this new sense of being at ease.

Stepping closer to him, you pressed your lips against his before he could react. He froze and for a moment you were terrified that he would push you away. Before you could pull away and apologize for your actions, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer. He wanted to deepen the kiss more, but he never got the chance to.

Suddenly, the door opened and sent the two of you falling onto the ground outside of the closet with you on top of him and your lips still firmly placed against his. After realizing what had happened and how everyone was now watching, you quickly scrambled off of Yuuri with a burning red face.

"What?!" Yuri roared from across the room. "That girl actually kissed the fat piggy?!"

"I had a feeling you would enjoy yourself, but never did I imagine this," Viktor said with an amused look on his face.

Both you and Yuuri were blushing madly but even so, neither of you had any regrets.
