Love & Life: Yuri Plisetsky x Reader

Chapter 17: Wondering About Life

A/N: I decided I'd try something different and I thought of this.
F/I/C/F: Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Y/N's P.O.V.
Yuri and I are back home in Russia, after the dinner fiasco I just wanted to come home. Yuri and I were laying in his bed talking about life and shit. "How would things be different if we weren't skaters and went to high school and were normal teens?" I ask and he shrugs. "I don't know. What do you think?" I shrug​ as well. We continue to talk, but I eventually drift off and fall asleep.

I wake up and look at the ceiling. "Y/N get ready for school!" I hear my mom yell. But mom's in Thailand. And I haven't gone to school since I was in elementary school. Nonetheless, I put on a uniform and head to the door. "Bye mom!" I call as if I know where I'm going. "Wait honey you forgot your volleyball bag." My mom says handing me a sports bag. "Now hurry up or you'll be late!"

I somehow end up at a high school. A familiar voice sounds from behind me.

"Hey Y/N!" I whirl around. "Yuri! Thank God you're here!" I say hugging him tightly. "Whoa okay then. Anyways I broke up with Mila yesterday. She's been hooking up with some other guy apparently." He says. Bitch what the fuck you're MY boyfriend. I'm still quite confused, but I nod along. "Anyways can I come to you practice after school?" He asks hopefully. I nod and we walk to class.

Jesus how do people do that? I ask myself as I leave my final class: Chemistry. Yuri catches up to me. "Hey Y/N! Why are you leaving?" I'm about to say 'To go home, but then remember the stupid practice. I don't even know how to play volleyball, how am I gonna survive practice?! "Oh right. Volleyball." He grins and we run to where I assume is the gym.

When we get there there are about 12 other girls practicing serving the ball back and forth. They're quite good and serve overhand, or at least that's what I believe it's called. Yuri goes to sit on the bleachers. No don't leave me senpai! I mentally call to him.
A woman who looks to be in her mid-thirties comes up to me.
"Y/N! I'm so glad you're here! We found out Amelia is transferring last week and we need a new captain. If you want it, it's yours." She says. "Um are you sure?" She gives me a confused look. "Y/N you're better than these girls by far. So do you want it or not?" I nod my head. "Alright everyone Y/N will take on the responsibility of captain." Everyone cheers and claps and Yuri gives me what I swear is a wink. "So first we're gonna have a little practice game against each other. I want everyone on their A game because our game against the Crusaders is tomorrow. Alright go." We scramble into our positions. I watched Haikyuu it can't be that hard......Right? The other team served first. I watched how the girl served. The ball came at me. Somehow I knew what to do and hit it to another team mate who hit over the net.  The girl missed it. Haha loser. I thought.

A bit later, I saw the girls on my side start to rotate, meaning I had to serve. Shit. My coach blew her whistle, and I got my arms in position to serve, just not overhand because that looked too hard. I watched as the ball flew over the net.......

and hit the ceiling causing it to bounce back to our side. "Y/N what the hell was that? First of all you know your underhand serve is only for when the game is close and you don't want to risk fucking up, and even with that you NEVER mess up your serve." I hung my head in shame. "Sorry coach." "Damn right you are. NOTIMPORTANTCHARACTER! You can take Y/N's position." A blonde girl who hadn't played yet gleefully replaced me. I went to sit next to Yuri. "Hey." I said sitting down and dinking from his water. "Hey that's mine!" He complained. "Too bad."

Our coach eventually put me back in. When it was my urn to serve I tried overhand.

It landed smack dab in the middle of their side. "There we go, you've still got it. AND RANDOMNAME WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" My coach yelled at the girl who missed the ball. "Sorry coach." She said, not very sorry.

After another 2 hours of hell, the coach let leave. "Be ready tomorrow, we all know the crusaders are merciless." She says before taking a sip of her water-that-totally-wasn't-vodka. As I was getting ready to leave, Yuri came up to me. "Hey great job out there." He said hugging me. "Oh thanks." I said blushing. "Do you wanna go get ice cream or something?" He asks shyly. "Hell yeah! I live for ice cream!" I say and we walk, well I skip, to the ice cream store.

"Is F/I/C/F still your favorite?" "Duh. It's like happiness and unicorns on a cone." I say which makes him laugh. "This is why I love you." He says under his breath. "What was that?" Even though I heard every word. "N-nothing! Are you excited about the game tomorrow?" "Kind of. I'm scared I'll mess up like I did in practice." He grabs my free hand and holds it tightly. "I'm sure you'll do great. Captain." He says with a wink.

The game isn't too hard. We won by 7 points, because of a girl whose name I now know is Alexa's spiking. I didn't fail though, which makes me happy.

NOT AS HAPPY AS SEEING YURI STANDING ON THE SIDELINES WITH A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS FOR ME THOUGH! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS! Right as I reach him, I feel myself jolt awake.

"Y/N?" Yuri asks. He still sounds sexy- I mean half asleep. "Sorry I guess I had a nightmare." I say laying against his chest. But I know it was no nightmare, well I  kind of thought I'd get hit in the face or something is a nightmare on it's own but whatever.  "Don't worry kitten, you're safe with me."

A/N: Oml another update. I have volleyball camp tomorrow, but I actually thought of this after one of my friends games. Shoutout to Nisse that she will hopefully never see because nobody at my school can know about this. Anyways I've gotta wake up at 6:30 so goodnight.
