Just the Two of Us - Otayuri Fanfic

Connections

I would go as far as to say that, despite having reached the sixteenth year of my life, I had yet to have had my first kiss. Of course, this excludes Mila Babicheva - my ice rink partner - attempting to kiss chase me many times when we were younger, until I eventually learnt how to skate at the top speed. This was different to how I imagined it to be... almost gentle yet still somewhat firm. Had Otabek done this before? The very thought made me pull away, my eyes staring right into his. They were insanely beautiful and they held so many emotions and ambitions. Fuck whoever called Otabek emotionless - they clearly hadn't seen this side of him.

"I... I'm sorry, Yuri. That was unnecessary." Otabek averted his gaze to our feet and, although he was taller than me by a good few inches, it seemed that he looked fairly small now... like when he was younger... I shook my head frowning, "Don't be stupid! I was just surprised, I guess." A total understatement; his actions had left me feeling totally out of breath and exhilarated. I just didn't have the courage to tell him that yet.

Looking back at me now, Otabek shared a hint of a smile, "Are you sure? I mean if you don't want to--" I shut him up, standing on tip toes and leaning in so that I returned the kiss as best I could. Feeling all clumsy and uneducated, I blushed a little, not even making an attempt to hide it, "Th-thank you, Otabek... That was a really nice birthday present." Otabek's stunning eyes lit up, knowing I'd worked it out. He didn't exactly blush but I could tell he was happy. Something I was pleasantly surprised to see. To think that I made Otabek Altin happy... Who would have thought?

"Let's stay out here for a bit longer." He eventually decided, "You and me?" I nodded enthusiastically, "Sure! I would love to spend the whole day with you... Wait, how long will you be here for?" The reality that Otabek wouldn't be here permanently broke my heart a little.

"Well, I will be here for the next few days..." Otabek replied, "and I don't think we can stay here all day either." I frowned, "What do you mean?" Wasn't he happy to be here with me? I bit my lip, realising how selfish I sounded. Of course... Otabek probably meant it to be nothing more between two friends. Was I being blind here? He looked across the landscape which I had since lost interest in, "Well... there's a small surprise for you." "Oh?" "Let's give it an hour... then I'll take you there--" "Where's there? Otabek, what aren't you telling me?

The older male continued to smile a little, being all so mysterious. "You will find out, Plisetsky. Patience is a virtue." "Come on! You're not that much older than me; quit pretending to act all wise." Otabek didn't reply, but certainly seemed to be finding me very amusing...
