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

Chapter Fourteen: Last Day of Practice

Weeks had pasted and it was the last day before the two had to perform for the summer festival. Yuuri and Viktor had finally perfected their pair skating routine multiple times while making sure that they took breaks and ate, as orders from Viktor and Yuuri's mother.

On the last day, Yuuri and Viktor had decided to bring along Yurio to watch. Viktor thought it would be good practice for Yurio to practice being nice to people, but so far, the Russian teen was only giving them mean critiques.

The duet between the two men had ended with the death of the Swan Prince, Yuuri, dying in the Prince's arms, Viktor, as they both laid on the ice pond. After a few seconds of panting, the two men looked at the blonde teen. "So, Yurio, what do you think?"

The teen shrugged. "It was fine, I guess."

Yuuri sighed. "We can't do fine! What did you really think?" He asked, wanting to be perfect. This was his chance to prove to everyone and Viktor that he could do something right."

Yurio sighed and stood up from the snow covered ground. "Well, for starters, you two have no emotion in the beginning before your characters met. You two are supposed to be lost souls, right? Be lost, not bored. And at the ending, peasant, you don't have any shock to you being stabbed and killed. Pretend like you're actually being stabbed and Viktor is the last face you'll ever see."

Viktor nodded. "Thank you, Yurio."

Yuuri nodded as well, making sure to remember the critiques in his head. "Alright. Thank you very much, Yurio. You've been a big help."

Yurio gave a small blush but scoffed. "Whatever. Anyway, can I go now? I have to meet Otabek at the park."

Viktor chuckled. "Yeah, go ahead."

The blonde Russian gladly ran off to meet his friend, leaving Yuuri to be a bit worried. Yurio was like a little brother to him and he feared something bad were to happen to him if he got hurt. He was still a boy after all. "Do you think Yurio will be alright with that Otabek boy?"

Viktor blinked and looked down at the peasant boy. He put his head on Yuuri's head and ruffled his hair gently. "He'll be fine, Yuuri. He's a tough boy, after all. And if Otabek hurts him, I'm pretty Yurio will give him a what for."

Yuuri couldn't help but laugh a little, nodding his head. "I suppose you have a point." He then heard the sound of Viktor's stomach growling, "Some hungry?"

Viktor blushed out and nodded his head. "Y-yeah, a little bit."

The black haired peasant giggled before running to the picnic basket, getting out some food for the two of them. "You're lucky I brought food."

The Ice Prince rose an eyebrow before letting out a little chuckle, sitting beside Yuuri who brought out a small triangle sandwich. "Yuuri, what would I do without you?"

"I should actually be asking you that question." Yuuri replied.

Viktor looked at Yuuri with a confused look. "What do you mean, Yuuri?"

"I mean that you've made my life so much better. I did have a good life, but I feel like you've made it better for me and the others around you. You're a very kind and selfless person, Viktor, and I'm lucky to have met you." The peasant said with a happy smile, biting into an apple.

Viktor couldn't help but blush out a bit, his heart beat increasing fast. He couldn't believe that Yuuri would say such things about him, especially since it was only about a couple months ago since the two didn't even know each other's names.

The two ate more and talked while the sun dropped and the moon came into the sky, shining down upon the frozen pond. Viktor sighed out. "It's been a long time since I went swimming anywhere."

"Same for me too. I remember swimming until the sun was going down. My sister and I would pretend we were mermaids in the water at times." The peasant said with a laugh.

Viktor laughed as well. "I'm sure you were adorable as a child, Yuuri." He said, unknowing that it was snowing over top of them.

Yuuri blinked and felt a snowflake fall on his cheek. "Umm... Viktor, you're making it snow."

The prince blinked before looking up at the snow, gasping in fear before closing his hands as the snow stopped. "S-sorry. It just happens."

"Viktor, it's fine. I've come to love the snow that you make." The raven haired man said, putting his hand on top of the sliver haired man, which made both of them blush.

"But I don't. This power of mine... It's a curse, Yuuri! It's a burden on me and everyone else. I wish- I wish-" Viktor began to hyperventilate.

"Viktor, Viktor, calm down." Yuuri spoke kindly, wrapping an arm around Viktor to pull him into a hold. "Your powers are beautiful, you just need to control them. And I know that it is hard to control them, but you'll find a way to get rid of this enteral snow. I believe in you. And I believe that one day, you will be able to either control them or be cured from them."

"But what if they don't go away?" Viktor asked, looking at the other male worriedly.

"Then that's alright. Because I think you and your powers are beautiful, Viktor." Yuuri said with sparkles in his eyes.

The Prince's eyes sparkled with love before he placed a kiss upon Yuuri's hand, smiling up at him and looking into his eyes. "You're also beautiful too, Yuuri."

The peasant blushed out hard before letting himself smile back. He then stood up, pulling Viktor to his feet. "Let's go home, Viktor. You have a big day tomorrow."

The prince nodded his head before the two began to walk back to Yuuri's home, not realizing that they were still holding each other's hands. They also were unaware of the growing cherry blossoms that grew rapidly from one of the trees they past.
