Love is all around

Viktor: Chapter two

Viktor did what he planned the day before. He smiled once he heard the sounds of the hockey bats hitting the ice. He sat down at one of the chairs and tried to spot a player with the certain last name on his back. He smiled once he noticed he was on the ice, jumping over the other player, who fell on the ice. He scored a goal without much effort.

-Okay Plisetsky. – said the coach. – You can take a break.

Y/n nodded and got off of the ice. Viktor's heart skipped the beat when Y/n took his helmet off and he saw his disheveled hair. Viktor blushed a bit and looked away. He blushed more when he noticed Y/n was coming his way.

-Viktor. – he said. – Nice to see you again.

-Hi Y/n. – Viktor smiled at him. – Nice to see you too.

-What are you doing here?

-I hoped you didn't ask. – chuckled Viktor and looked away. – I wanted to see you.

-I see. – chuckled Y/n.

-Why are you so surprised? – Viktor tilted his head with a smile. – You're strong and handsome, it's not that easy to get you out of one's mind.

-Thanks, but I have to listen to coaches' bragging in the locker room now.

Viktor nodded and let Y/n go. One of his teammates nudged his side and teased his about Viktor, but all Y/n did was just chuckle about it. He never payed attention to flirting and considered relationships unnecessary. He preferred focusing on the career and stabilization first. Still he couldn't deny that every time he saw Viktor, something was stirring in his chest.

-Okay, you can go now. – said the coach after letting the team get showered and changed and told them what did they had to improve.

They all stood up from the benches and left the changing room. It was in the same second the figure skaters walked to their locker room. Y/n stopped walking when he felt someone grabbing his forearm. He looked to the side to see Viktor's face.

-Please watch me today. – he whispered in his ear and let go.

Y/n only chuckled and turned around, making his way back to the ice rink. He took a seat and waited for the skaters to start the practice. Once they did Y/n let himself watch Viktor's every move. The grace and beauty of his moves was amazing, almost hypnotizing to Y/n. After the quick warm up the skaters were presenting their programs. Y/n couldn't care less about the others, but when the Viktor's turn came he paid him his full attention. After the performance Viktor slid out of the ice and talked to Yakov.

-Who are you? – asked some girl, who sat down next to him. – Viktor's new boyfriend I suppose?

Before Y/n could answer Viktor was already at his side.

-Mila, leave him alone please. – he said and sat down at Y/n's other side. – And he's not my boyfriend. Not yet. – Viktor muttered the last sentence, but it still was loud enough for Y/n to hear it. He hid his light smile by biting the inside of his cheek. – I'm done with the practice for today. Do you want to grab something to drink?

-Sure. – smiled Y/n and stood up from his seat. – It was nice to meet you Mila.

With that they walked out of the rink and started walking down the street. Y/n didn't know the city too well yet, and he wasn't afraid to admit that to Viktor, who only smiled and took it as a good opportunity to impress Y/n, as if his program wasn't enough.

-I will show you the nice café nearby. – smiled Viktor. – How did you like my program?

-It was amazing. – answered Y/n truthfully.

-The motive is called Agape, the pure and unconditional love. – Viktor explained with a passion in his eyes. – I'm preparing the costume for it too. Oh, how I wish you could see me performing it during the competition. – he pouted when he realized Y/n wouldn't be able to see it.

-No pouty Viktor. – chuckled Y/n. – You're too cute to do that.

-So am I not cute when I'm pouting? – Viktor tilted his head with a taunting smirk on his face.

-You're adorable. – chuckled Y/n and held the door to the café for Viktor with a charming smile on his face.
