Title: Cherries
————————————————————————
"That's Ramune, right?" Victor asked you. Nodding, you take another sip. "Yes. It's my favorite drink. You should try it!" You said, handing the green bottle to him.Victor took a small sip shortly after smelling it and then smiled widely. "That's a traditional Japanese drink, right??" He asked. "Yes. This one is green apple flavored." You said, holding your hand out to him in hopes that he'd return the bottle.
"I bet Yurio would enjoy this! Can I take him some?" He asked, standing up in front of you. "Umm... sure, Victor! I don't know if he'd like that flavor though. I can take him to the store after his practice and he can choose a flavor he likes." You say, standing up as well.
"Great! Thank you, (Y/N)! See you at Yurio's practice!"

You lean over the side of the railing, still entranced in Yuri's skating lesson for the day. Victor notices you and gives a quick wave, one you return with a smile on your face. Yuri turns around as well, but doesn't greet you with the same gesture as Victor.
After a couple minutes, you decide to grab your book. You reach into your bag and grab around. "Where.." you mumbled, basically taking everything out of your bag. You straightened your back and set the bag on the rail.
"Here it is!" You grabbed the spine of your book, pulling it out of your bag. Suddenly, your phone slipped out of the bag, sliding across the ice. "Dammit!" You hissed, jumping out onto the ice. "Shit!"
You slip and slide about the ice, waving your arms and trying to stay upright when you feel hands on your waist and your back pressed up against somebody's chest.
"(Y/N), here's your phone!" Victor said, skating up to you. You grabbed it, still too relieved to say anything.
"That was a really stupid idea!" A thickly accented voice hissed. You thrash about, trying to get out of his grasp. "Stop struggling. We don't want you falling now, do we?"
Yuri's warm breath made you shiver involuntarily, but you did stop moving. Only then did he carefully lift you off of his chest and turn you around, grabbing your hands. "You can stand?"
"I-I think I can." You stutter out. Your legs were shaking violently and your heart was pounding in your chest. Yuri smirked. "Don't worry, I'll help you."
He slowly started skating backwards, helping you slide along the ice. Once Yuri reached solid ground, you leapt over to him and clutched onto his shirt. "Sorry Yuri... I've never skated before." You said.
He smiled slightly before ruffling your hair. "Just stay off the ice and you'll be fine."
—————————
"I know you'd probably like to choose your own flavor, so here we are!" You said, looping your arm with Yuri's. He pulled away from you, making the smile melt off of your face. "So.. Ramune?" He asks, taking a step towards the rack of bottles on the shelf.
"There are 14 flavors you can choose from that are stocked here: Original, Banana, Blueberry, Bubble Gum, Candy, Cherry, Cola, Grape, Green Apple, Kiwi, Lemonade, Orange, Peach, and Strawberry." You said.
Yuri strode forward, reaching for a red bottle. "Cherry?" He questioned. You nodded. "I've personally never tried that flavor. Sounds good.."
After paying for the bottle, you and Yuri made your way home. The winter snow was cold and heavy today. You both lived in the same direction so you often walked home together. That's how you became his best friend, but he wouldn't call you that.
You watched him take a sip, wishing you could try it too. "What does it taste like?" You asked, after he drank the whole thing. "Sweet." He said.
"Yuriiii! That doesn't really answer my question." You whine, tugging on his jacket. "(Y/N), it tasted like cherry. Have you ever tasted a cherry before, stupid?" He said.
You frowned. "Duh," You look up. "I love cherries!" You barked, upon seeing Yuri's sly grin. "Then you should know what it tastes like. Too bad I drank the entire thing, now you won't get to try it." He advanced forward, catching you off guard.
"Fine. I didn't want to anyway." You lie. "Now I know that's not true." He replies. Your heart quickens when you feel Yuri's hand caress your cheek. He pulls you closer and closer until your eyelashes are almost touching.
"Y-Yuri.." You breathe, face bright red. His hand moves from your cheek to your chin as he pushes your face up toward his. You hazily shut your eyes as his soft lips press onto yours and your hands instinctively move to his chest.
Yuri continues to kiss you as you blush intensely. His lips move in sync with yours for several more seconds before pulling away. You gasp softly and barely manage to stutter out a sentence.
"I...I.. Y-Yuri why?.." You say, staring at the ground with your cheeks still dusted with a light pink color. "(Y/N), can you look at me?" Yuri asks. You lift your head up slowly, locking eyes with him.
He smiled and leaned down to embrace you in a hug, shoving his face into your smooth hair. "The truth is... I don't want to be your best friend." He mumbled. "I want to be.. more than that. Let me be your boyfriend, (Y/N)!"
You smiled, wrapping your arms around his back. "I'd love that, Yuri." You say, looking up into his aquamarine orbs. You pressed your lips upon his once more. "C-can you walk me home?" You ask.
Yuri wraps his arm around you, leading you down the snowy sidewalk. "Of course, anything for my (Y/N)."

And that makes the first part of this book! I do have many more planned for the future but sometimes I'm pokey with my updates.
I hope this wasn't too bad of a story. If it feels rushed, feel free to tell me or give me any other constructive criticism.
