My Hero:Victuuri

Chapter 9: Outside

After Yuuri woke up again, Vicktor had approached him in his normal outfit. He walked into the room with a bowl of katsudon, Phichit had told him it was Yuuri's favorite. As he gave the boy the pork cutlet bowl, he smiled and asked,"Feeling better?" Yuuri nodded and replied,"I'm okay now." Vicktor was about to leave when Yuuri grabbed his wrist and exclaimed,"Wait!" The silver-haired male turned to face his "captor"as he asked,"What is it?" Yuuri let go of Vicktor and queried, fidgeting slightly,"Do you think I could go outside soon?" Unable to resist the cute look Yuuri was giving him, Vicktor brought Yuuri's hand to his lips and replied,"Off course my dear Yuuri." Yuuri's face turned several shades of red before settling on a deep scarlet hue.

After Yuuri finished eating, Vicktor took the younger male by the hand and led him through their base. Yuuri looked around in awe at the enormity of the fortress as Vicktor led him upstairs to the ice rink. It took a moment for the raven-haired boy to realize. "The base is under the ice rink?!" Vicktor chuckled slightly at his reaction before asking,"Why don't you and I skate a little before we leave?" Yuuri's smile was all it took for Vicktor to take it as a sign to go ahead with the idea.

As they glided across the ice, the hero watched as his companion smiled widely, laughing. It was almost as though the events that had left Yuuri frightened beyond belief never occurred. However, it would not be forgotten as easily as that. The events of that night had terrified everyone of the heroes. They had already lost their mentors to villains; therefore, they were less than courageous when facing this group that had tried to take away someone special.

Vicktor was drawn from his thoughts when Yuuri asked,"Vicktor, can we talk about something?" The hero nodded as they skated over to the edge of the rink. "I don't remember much from last night, but... When I was drowning, I thought I was going to die until..."he trailed off. Vicktor looked at him expectantly as Yuuri turned red again and stuttered out,"I-I think someone k-kissed me o-on the l-lips." Vicktor flushed as he chuckled nervously and replied,"W-Well... that is... You were running out of air and I... may have given you a little mouth to mouth." The red faced men looked at one another as Yuuri told him,"Thank you for that, s-saving me I mean, n-not the kiss. N-Not that the kiss was bad or anything. I-I mean-" Vicktor smiled gently as he cut off the flustered boy's ramblings by laying his lips upon the other's.

Yuuri stopped immediately as he embraced the warmth of the other's actions and enjoyed the feeling of Vicktor's cool lips on his. Yuuri wrapped his arms around Vicktor's neck as the latter held the shorter one by his waist. They pulled apart after a minute leaving a pleasantly dazed Yuuri and a smugly smiling Vicktor. The silver-haired hero leaned down and whispered,"Shall we go now?" Yuuri could only nod happily.

Once outside, the duo began to walk to the center of town. Yuuri had been given a pair of sunglasses and a cap to help disguise him. Vicktor maintained his normal look, a disguise not necessary due to his powers. The duo eventually made their way toward the Detroit River. As they gazed out at the shimmering water, Yuuri began to nervously play with his fingers. Taking notice, Vicktor asked,"What is it, Yuuri?" The boy's gaze met with Vicktor's as he asked, timidly,"What are we exactly?" The older man pulled Yuuri close to him, arms holding the boy close, and replied,"Anything you want us to be. Just know that you are special to me Yuuri, alright?" Yuuri nodded, now released from the hero's strong arms, as he took a deep breath and said,"If that's the case, I want to be your boyfriend!"

Vicktor felt his face warm suddenly at Yuuri's words as the boy continued,"I've always admired you and since you saved me, I want to be closer to you, Vicktor!" Yuuri felt his heart rate grow faster as he finished confessing his innermost feelings. His face was red as the sun setting behind them as awaited his crush's response, eyes closed. It took only a moment before Yuuri felt Vicktor's hands take hold of his and hold them close to the former's chest. Yuuri opened his chocolate colored eyes to meet with brilliant blue ones. As soon as their gazes met, Vicktor told him,"I like that idea. I would love for you to be mine, Yuuri." The latter smiled as he pushed closer to his boyfriend. Yuuri liked that idea; Vicktor being his, and his alone. Gently, Vicktor initiated another kiss with his lover, holding one another close.

Eventually, they had to head back to the base; otherwise, the others would panic. As they made their way back they ran into Phichit, who had been frantic at discovering Yuuri's absence. He glared at both of them as he exclaimed,"I've been looking all over for you two all day! Where have you guys been?!" Yuuri put his hands up as a gesture for his friend to calm himself down. Vicktor stepped in and told him,"Yuuri and I will explain everything back at base." Once they had made their way back, Yurio chewed the both of them out for leaving without telling anyone. Cristophe, JJ, and Otabeck had been a bit more calm about their departure but were relieved nonetheless and merely watched as the young blonde lectured the duo about leaving without telling anyone. After he finished, which was a long thirty minutes later, Phichit told the others that they were ready to explain what had happened.

Vicktor started by saying,"Well when little Yuuri here woke up I got him some food, his favorite. Then he asked me if he could go outside, with the cutest look ever might I add, and how could I say no?" Yurio rolled his eyes and said,"Like this,'No!' See, easy." Yuuri had turned red from Vicktor's little compliment and continued the tale, saying,"He skated with me first,we talked and then we..." Yuuri trailed off in embarrassment as Vicktor interjected,"I kissed him!" The others responded by exclaiming,"WHAT?!"Yuuri glared at his boyfriend as he continued,"Yes, then he took me around town and we went to the river-" Vicktor once again interrupted saying,"Where my little katsudon here asked to be my boyfriend!" The others looked at Yuuri in shock as he exclaimed, obviously embarrassed,"VICKTOR!" Vicktor grinned like a mischievous child and asked,"What? Am I wrong?" Yuuri, still a bright shade of crimson, muttered,"W-Well no, b-but you keep embarrassing me!" Vicktor cupped his lovers cheek, leaned towards him so that their lips were mere centimeters apart, and said playfully,"That's because you're adorable when you blush." He was about to kiss him for the fourth time that day when Yurio yelled,"Enough! Get a room or something!" Yuuri blushed as Vicktor growled slightly and told him,"You're just jealous that you're not kissing your boyfriend." Yurio flushed, from anger or embarrassment or perhaps a mix of both, and asked,"What did you say?" Vicktor pulled Yuuri close to him and stuck his tongue out childishly at the now fuming blonde. Yurio was about to tear the older hero apart when Otabeck detained him. Vicktor grinned and told the angry young hero,"Looks like your boyfriend's got you pretty well handled. Is he like that in bed?" Yurio's face turned even redder as he screamed,"WHAT DID YOU SAY? LET ME GO BECKA! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!"
