Viktuuri: The Ice Prince and the Skating Peasant (Fantasy AU)

Chapter Four: First Day of Training

"Yuuri~! Yuuri, wake up!" Viktor sang out to Yuuri as he slept quietly and calmly in his comfortable bed.

Yuuri only groaned out and began to wake up. "Ugh.... Viktor?" He asked before opening his eye to see the beautiful sliver haired man in his room.

The Ice Prince giggled and nodded his head happily. "Yes, it's me, you silly boy. It's time to get up! It's your first day of training!"

He blinked and sat up, rubbing his eyes before putting on his glasses that he used to see better. "Huh? We're starting today? Right now?" He asked. Yuuri figured that they could wait a while before they began his lesson.

Viktor chuckled softly and petted Yurri's raven black hair as if he was a kitten. "Yes, right now. Go eat some breakfast and meet me at the pond." He said with a smile before leaving, a mist of snow following behind him.

Yuuri shook his head with a blush and a smile on his face before getting up. He dressed into some brown pants, a white puffy shirt, a brown vest, and some brown boots. He couldn't help but glance at the book that contained the story of Viktor.

He still couldn't believe that this prince was real. After many years of thinking he was a fairytale and believing in him, there he was. Teaching him how to ice skate and living with him. He couldn't have been... Happier. His boring life was finally turning upside down thanks to this cursed prince.

He ate breakfast quickly before heading out to the ice pond, where Viktor was practicing with his magic. He waved his hand around and made some snowflakes move around with his hand.

"Hey Viktor!" Yuuri greeted with a smile, watching his magic, "You're very good at your magic!"

Viktor gave a small chuckle. "Thank you, Yuuri. But I'm not great at this power. I still can't get all of this snow in this city to go away and... It normally happens when I'm upset or angry."

Yuuri felt so bad for his new friend. Even though he could somewhat control it now, he still could only do so much. "I'm... So sorry, Viktor."

The sliver haired man stood up and stopped the moving snowflakes. "It's alright, Yuuri. It isn't your fault." He said with a smile, which Yuuri didn't know if it was fake or real. "Let's begin, shall we?"

Yuuri blinked but then remembered they came here. "Oh right! Right, right." He said before beginning to quickly put on his skating shoes.

Viktor snapped his fingers before a pair of white ice skates, all made from ice, appeared on his feet. He took Yuuri's hands tightly as hey began to skate onto the ice.

Yuuri's face turned hot as he squeezed the other's hands tightly. They felt so large and soft in his hands, never wanting to let go as the hands left a comforting feeling on the shy male. He could his heart pound in his ears; The feeling was back.

The two men skated around the ice for a while, hands in hands. They both looked up at each other before looking away, their faces a bit red. Then Viktor cleared his throat. "Alright, I'm going to let go now, Yuuri."

"N-no, I'm afraid!" Yuuri squeaked, getting scared. He was afraid to fall on his bottom again in front of the man he had such strange feelings for.

"Relax, Yuuri. Just... Close your eyes." Viktor instructed as Yuuri did as he was told. "Imagine that you're standing on the snow. Imagine that you're not going to fall on your bottom. Or imagine you're floating on water."

Yuuri imagined that he was floating, feeling as light as a feather in the sky. He felt happy that he was free and no one was judging him. He no longer thought that he was standing on the ice, but flying in the sky.

"And now..."

He felt Viktor's hands let go of his hands and skated away from him. It made him worried at first, but he kept the thought of him floating in the air as best as he could. His breathing was soft as his chest rose up and down.

"Open your eyes, Yuuri." Viktor instructed again.

Yuuri opened his eyes and looked down at his legs, which were standing perfectly straight. He wasn't slipping or sliding on the ice at all! He was perfectly still! Yuuri began to laugh happily, raising his arms up and down in the air. "I did it! I'm standing on the ice!"

Viktor couldn't help but laugh and shake his head at the adorable peasant before him. "And now that you can stand, let's try to get you gliding a bit."

Yuuri rose an eyebrow at that. "You sure I'm ready for that?"

Viktor gave a smile and skated behind the other male, holding onto his hands again. "I believe in your, Yuuri. I believe you can do it."

The raven haired man blushed out again and nodded his head with a gulp. If Viktor believed in him, that's all he needed. "Just try walking." The prince told him as they began to walk on the ice like they were walking on the snow.

They walked on the ice with Viktor behind him, hands in hands before walking turned to gliding. The two men hardly noticed the snow falling around them as they glided around the ice pond in circles. For a trick, Viktor decided to put his leg up into the air to show Yuuri what he could do.

At the sight of the Ice Prince raising his leg up, Yuuri gasped at how feel he could skate. He looked down at to see Viktor's hand on his waist, probably because he need balance. Before never had Yuuri felt so comfortable around another man, especially a royal.

And so, believing in himself that he could do the same tricks that Viktor could do, Yuuri decided to lift his leg into the air as well. And it managed to stay into the air, which caused Yuuri to gasp and laugh a bit. He looked up at Viktor who had a wide smile on his face. He was proud of Yuuri, even though it was his first day.

Before they knew it, Viktor had stopped the gliding and looked down at Yuuri with sparkles in his eyes. "That was brilliant, Yuuri. That was better than yesterday."

Yuuri gave a shy laugh, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, I can tell that with you as my coach, I'll do great! And maybe will be able to do some flips?"

Viktor let out a chuckle and shook his head. "Let's start with beginner steps. Beginners are only as good as their coach allows them to be." He said wisely, "Now, let us begin!"

Yuuri nodded before starting the gliding again. He was a bit disappointed that he wouldn't be able to some flips but he figured that if he did, then he would probably hurt him. But he meant what he said when he hoped that he would do well if Viktor stayed as his coach. And maybe... Something more.
