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

Chapter Seven: Libraries and Snowmen

"Ta-da!" Yuuri exclaimed as he got finished copying Viktor's moves for earlier.

Viktor chuckled and clapped his hand at the other male. "Great job, Yuuri!" He praised, which got Yuuri to light a Christmas tree.

It was a beautiful and bright April morning when Yuuri and Viktor decided to sneak out of the house with a quick breakfast to practice Yuuri's continuing greatness. Viktor couldn't have been prouder of how amazing Yuuri had gotten in such a short amount of time.

"What next? Jumps? Leaps? Toe loops?" Yuuri asked in excitement, wondering what he could learn next from the ice prince.

Viktor chuckled and shook his head. "Actually, no. Let's skip the rest of practice for today and take a break!"

The Japanese man rose an eyebrow; Since when did the Ice Prince of Hasetsu want to take a break from teaching him? There was still so much that Yuuri wanted and needed to learn! "Okay... Why?"

"Well, Yuuri, it has come to my attention that you and I know lots about each other, but not that much. I want to know more about the real Yuuri." He said honestly and took Yuuri's hand, "Take me to your favorite place in all of Hasetsu."

Yuuri's face turned to the color of strawberries. Viktor was holding his hand and wanted to go to his favorite place. The idea of them spending time together in this nice day made him him smile. But he had to think for a moment of what his favorite place was in this small village.

Then a lift flickered above his head; Yuuri could take him to the library! It was one of the places that Yuuri loved to go to besides the ice pond. At the moment of excitement, he took the Russian prince's hand and dragged him off the ice and onto the path.

"Woah! I-I guess I'll take that as a yes, huh?" Viktor asked with a laugh at the adorable man before him.

Yuuri only smiled, which was the only answer that Viktor needed. They followed the path on the road that led them to the village, which was actually very quiet and not as busy as it was. But what made Yuuri confused was the temperature in the air. It wasn't as cold as it usually was. In fact, it seemed to get a little warmer.

Yuuri decided to ignore it before they finally arrived at a small blue and yellow building. "Welcome to my favorite place in all of Hasetsu!"

Viktor blinked in confusion before seeing the sign closely. "A library?"

"I know it's kind of lame, but I love books so much. They make me happy and allow me to sucked into an alternate world in order to escape my boring life." Yuuri exclaimed with sparkles in his eyes.

Viktor couldn't help but smile at his passion. "I enjoy books as well." He said.

Yuuri gasped out and looked at the other male. "Really?"

"You sound surprised." Viktor teased.

"N-no, it's not that! I'm just glad we share something else besides love of ice skating and pork cutlet bowls." Yuuri said honestly as they walked inside the small home.

Inside it smelled of paper, ink, and burning wood. It held some selves full of books and a fireplace that crackled brightly. "It's very small, I know. But these are all they can afford." Yuuri said as they walked to a self.

"Hmm... Maybe I can fix that." Viktor mumbled as they searched for the book at each of them enjoyed.

"Oh my!" Yuuri exclaimed as he choose a bright yellow book, ""Beauty and the Beast." I love this book!"

"Really? But it's so sappy." Viktor joked, but he enjoyed the book as well.

"But how romantic it is that Beauty was willing to look through the Beast's anger and monstrous form and loved him nevertheless." Yuuri praised happily.

Viktor smiled before choosing the classic story of Sleeping Beauty. "I like this one. I can it's sweet that Sleeping Beauty was awoken by the power of True Love's Kiss." He explained.

Yuuri smiled at Viktor explaining the book. "Well, let's borrow them and head back home. Tea and some sweets sound delicious right now."

And so the two men exited the library with the books and followed the path back home. But Viktor found some small children who were making some snowmen. "Man, children sure are rowdy even when it's still snowy."

"Well, it is still snowy and children usually love to make snowmen." Yuuri said, holding his book close to his chest.

Viktor looked down at Yuuri with a small smile. "I haven't made a snowmen since I was a child. I've sort of forgotten how."

Yuuri could see that the Ice Prince was hiding his dad memories of his old family. "Then, what if I teach you? You've done so much for me!"

Viktor gave a big smile at that, his eyes sparkling at Yuuri's kindness. "Well then, let's get started, Yuuri."

Yuuri flushed again before beginning to make a snowman with Viktor. He showed the prince a few tricks on how to make one and eventually, the two made an adorable and small snowman that was around Yuuri's height. "We did it!" Yuuri cheered out.

"Thank you for showing me, Yuuri. You really are amazing." Viktor praised to him, magically making a snowball behind his back.

The butterflies fluttered hard in Yuuri's belly as his face warmed up. His feelings were increasing massively. What was happening? He liked it when he hung around Viktor, but he liked hanging out with everyone! But he was different. "Oh well, once you get some practice at it, you-"

He was cut off when Viktor shoved the snowball into Yuuri's face. Viktor laughed out hard, looking at the other male who had some snow in his hair. "Oh, Yuuri! You should see your face!" He laughed.

Yuuri stood there with a light glare. He leaned down and made a snowball of his own, holding it in his hand. "This means war, Viktor." He warned before throwing the snowball at the prince in the back of his head.

Viktor gasped once he felt the snowball hit his back before grinning, magically making more snowballs and throwing them at Yuuri, in which Yuuri returned the throwing of the snowballs by throwing more. The two continued their game until Viktor tackled Yuuri onto the snow, causing them to fall on the fluffy snow under them.

The two laughed as hard as they could, laying beside each other. Yuuri wiped the tears that leaked from his laughing before staring at the handsome prince beside him. He was just so beautiful, amazing, smart, and kind. Different from anybody that Yuuri knew.

That's when Yuuri finally understood what his feelings were telling him: He was in love with Prince Viktor. And he didn't mind.
