Yuri stared at his phone confused. It said Phichit had seen his message but hadn't replied. Phichit always replied to messages, no matter what they were. It was always the perk of having such an extroverted friend, but tonight was different...

"Yuuuriii~ where did you go?" Yuri heard Viktor call for him.
"I just went to the bathroom Viktor, I'll be right back!" He replied with a smile. Viktor hated being too far from Yuri for too long, and Yuri liked it, but in a very low-key sense, the kind that no one would know but him. He liked the power... especially after what Viktor did... er didn't do.

Yuri went back to the couch, only to find Viktor not to be there. He looked around the master suite, one the size of a small modern apartment. He walked to the small kitchen area, outside the door, and finally, ended up in the bedroom. He was nowhere to be found.

"Viktor where did you- ah~!" Yuri squealed. A pair of cold hands covered his face.

"Guess who~," Viktor said, and Yuri smiled.

"Is it the one and only Viktor Nikiforov?" Yuri asked playfully.

The kisses on his neck confirmed his false suspicion.

Yuri was immediately turned on and asked himself the question: would tonight be the night.

As Viktor traced Yuri's neck with his tongue, Yuri shuddered with pleasure.

It would.

Yuri turned around and put his arms around Viktor's neck, and even though there was dim lighting, the precious skater saw his lover blush slightly. Viktor was probably nervous.

The two of them began to kiss lightly like children do when shyly stealing them away, and then proceeded to get a little more intense, a little rougher, a little hungrier, a little... closer if you will.

Yuri then placed Viktor on the bed and returned the favor of sucking on his neck. Viktor moaned slightly.

"You like that Vitya?" Yuri said between licks and kisses upon his fiance's neck.

Viktor remained silent, but his moans were all the confirmation Yuri needed. Yuri then proceeded to trace his kisses down to Viktor's chest. He flashed Viktor a cheeky smile and placed his tongue on Viktor's nipple.

Viktor was on cloud nine.

Meanwhile...

"M-Mari... Mari-chan... that text, I lied," a now drunken Phichit told his friend. Phichit began to stress drink after deleting Yuri's text message.

Phichit knew Yuri would end their friendship because it was a rule the two of them set in place the first time Phichit went after Yuri.

A few years ago, Phichit confessed to Yuri that he liked him. Back in their sophomore year of college. Yuri had given him a sad smile and thanked Phichit.

"I'm sorry Phichit, I just don't have feelings for you in that way, but your confession has made me so happy!"

Phichit looked down embarrassed, he had never been so quiet in his life. He remembered all the nights they had together, holding one another in arms during frightening thunderstorms. He remembered how they practiced kissing because Yuri was going to go on a date for the first time and Phichit had convinced him to. Phichit remembered holding Yuri in his arms, the first time Celestino had yelled at him.
