"Yuuri! Are you ready to begin?" Viktor asked confidently as the two of them stood on the ice of the ice pond.

Yuuri nodded his head happily and tied his skates together. "As long as I'm training with you, Viktor, that's all that matters." He said and stood up confidently.

It was now only a few more weeks until the festival that Viktor and Yuuri had time to work on their routine. Viktor had stayed up all night planning on what they would do for their dance while also finding ways to teach Yuuri some jumps, spins, and flips in just a short amount of time. "Since when did you become so confident?" He asked.

"Since you came here." Yuuri said with a smile as he glided in a circle around the Ice Prince. He didn't exactly know where he got the confidence to do this, but he knew that Viktor probably helped create it.

Viktor gave a smile and glided behind him, doing a small but perfect leap into the air to show off to the Japanese man.

When he did see the leap, Yuuri pouted. "Show off." He said before sighing out. He glided as fast as he could before he leaped into the air, getting it almost perfect like Viktor's.

"That was pretty good for your first try, Yuuri." The Russian complimented with a light clap.

"What's that mean?" Yuuri pouted, but then gave a light giggle when he saw that Viktor was surprised. "I'm just joking, Viktor. I know that I need to get better. And that's why you're teaching me."

Viktor smiled again and skated towards him, placing a small kiss on Yuuri's forehead in a teasing manner. "And I'm glad that I am your coach, Yuuri~."

Yuuri blushed out hard and felt his forehead. That kiss was actually... Nice and comforting. But how his heart begged for Viktor to kiss his cheek or even his lips. But he knew that that would probably never happen; Viktor was a prince with a bright smile that made anyone squeal and ice powers.

And Yuuri... He was just a simple peasant boy who enjoyed books and was getting better at skating on the ice.

But the feeling of love would never leave his heart or his mind no matter what. Yuuri knew that he loved Viktor with every fiber of his being, but how could he know that Victor felt the exact same way? And what would Viktor see in him?

"Yuuri~! You just going to stand there or are we going to skate?" Viktor asked, flipping back some of his hair from his face.

Yuuri jumped at Viktor's sweet voice, causing him to almost fall on his butt. "U-umm! Y-yeah, I'm coming!" He called and glided towards Viktor, "So, what's our piece going to be about?"

"Well, have you ever heard of the story of Swan Lake?" The prince asked as if he was a teacher.

Yuuri blinked in confusion. "Oh, of course. The story of a girl who gets turned into a swan then she falls in love with a human boy. But then the prince falls for the wrong girl and she kills her. I've always found the story to be very sad."

"Well, that's what we're going to do. Expect for the falling in love with another girl, the prince will be be accidentally killed in a hunting accident and the swan joins him." The sliver haired Royal explained.

"It's because you couldn't find another person to play the Black Swan, huh?" The peasant asked with a light giggle.

"Pretty much. And also because I think that you could bring the innocent role of the Swan to the table." Viktor said with a light blush.

Yuuri blushed at that, thinking he could probably be innocent enough to be a Swan Prince. But a question remained: Why did Viktor blush? It wasn't because it was hot, it was still cold as it always was. But then why would he be blushing?

The whole rest of the day they practiced on Yuuri jumping, flipping, and other such tricks into the air. To both of their surprises, Yuuri landed them with such ease. However, he only messed up on them because of how his foot was placed. But until finally, as the sunset was being painted with orange, red, and pink colors in the sky, Yuuri had finally landed a perfect quadruple toe loop. He landed it and even managed to do some jazz hands. "How was that, Viktor."

The peasant saw Viktor give a bright and proud smile on his soft and perfect face. "I couldn't have been more happy for you, my student." He complimented.

Yuuri's face turned a bright red and played with his raven black hair. "Th-thank you, Viktor." He said with a light crack in his voice from how embarrassed he was, "What shall we do now?"

"Well, before we go back home, I want to show you what you shall be doing for our Swan Prince dance." The sliver haired Royal said as he skated into the ice.

Yuuri felt excitement in his heart as he glided off the ice, sitting down on the soft snow. He watched closely as Viktor showed him the steps of the dance they would do. But he could've sworn that once or twice that he saw Viktor wink at him, which caused him to freak out with a hard squeal.

But other than the winks, Yuuri only focused on Viktor and his wonderful dancing. He couldn't help but imagine that they were dancing together a few weeks from now, Viktor holding him close and dancing with him on the ice while the two of them didn't care who saw them together. And as the dance began to end, the two men began to lean forward until their lips touched each other and-

"So, what do you think?" Viktor asked as he ended the dancing.

Yuuri jumped again and looked at him. He sort of paid attention and sort of didn't, but he had to pretend like he did. "I think that it was beautiful, Viktor." He said before giving off a little yawn.

Viktor gave a small giggle and helped him up from the snow. "Come on, let's get back to your home." He said before snapping his fingers as the skates went away.

The two men began to walk together as Yuuri looked around at the snow covered trees. To think that Victor made this by accident but couldn't make it go away made him feel bad. He looked up at the Royal and wanted to hug him and apologize that he was cursed into this life, but what could he say when he didn't understand?

Viktor eventually stopped walking, which caused Yuuri to look back him in confusion. "Viktor, what is it?" He asked as the Royal just stood there until he began to run past Yuuri.

"W-wait, Viktor!" Yuuri yelled as he ran after the Royal. He looked up to see a rather large castle that seemed so far away. It was.. The Lost Hasetsu castle.
