"Gross, leave me alone."

With a slightly; only just slightly forced smile painted across your face, your eyes had been gleaming the whole time because of your less than successful conversation with Yuri. But you were still over the moon over the fact that he still spoke to you.

Holding your finger to your nose, you checked to make sure there was no blood present when you took Yuri's plate towards the kitchen where Hiroko saw you, smiling as she did so, "[Name], I can't even imagine how you must be feeling hmm?"

Nodding furiously, you grabbed a sponge to wipe the bowl under the running tape while Yuuri's mum waited beside you with a hand towel in hand, "I can't really describe these feeling's Hiroko-San but they're much more intense than I thought. I just hope Yuri and I can get along."

She giggled and held your shoulder lovingly, reassuringly, "Mari-Chan gave Yuri-kun the nickname Yurio because there are two of them." A choke left your mouth when you cheeks turned pink, Hiroko laughing along with you when you almost dropped the bowl in your hand, passing it to her to lean on the counter.

"That sounds.. Really cute."

The dishes were done and whilst you were unsure of what to do, Yurio was still taking a bath. It felt so tempting to walk in the onsen but you had to respect the male as well, you had to restrain yourself and be good. You had to stay good for you had hope but you only wished that this hope wasn't as half-assed as it felt. Remaining optimistic was the only thing at the moment that kept you from going crazy. 

Entering the living room to sit on the floor, your phone had suddenly rang with a message, grabbing it from your pocket when you had gone through all the notifications on Instagram and Tumblr to finally read the message from Sota, 

'hey, you wanna meet up?'

As you were a little shocked, you had re-read the sentence about three times and a half before tapping the screen to answer. Your fingers typed the words quickly and immediately hit send as you had completely forgotten the words that haunted you at night that came from Sota's mouth. 

'sure! I'll meet you at the Ice Castle and then we can go out for lunch????'

A cold draft wafted through the room when a steamy blonde walked in with a tense posture. His face was scrunched in awkwardness as he saw you on the floor staring right at him. Your phone had slipped from your fingertips as your jaw had fallen slack at the sight of his blonde locks sticking to his face. Water drops leaking down his unclothed torso with a small towel to cover his private area.

"Urgh don't look at me you bastard!"

He stormed past you to slide a door open on the other side of the room and slam it shut behind him. Holding back a smile, you stared at the ground when the door was once again opened roughly as foot steps stomped into the room, "TAKE ME TO MY ROOM!"

With a nod, a low chuckle had escaped your mouth when you stood slowly, grabbing your phone from the floor and stretching with arms raised as your shirt had raised up to reveal your lower stomach. It was really silent except for the sounds of Yurio's chattering teeth as you grabbed his suitcases and began to walk to the spare room that had been cleaned out, "OI What do you think you're doing with my stuff!?"

Turning to give the fifteen year old a side glance, he stopped when he saw your half-smile and gaped at your answer, "I'm taking your things to your room, I figured you'd be persistent on staying in the same place as Viktor, right?"

He huffed once again and looked away, encouraging you to move forward until you reached the room, it was empty with a slightly dusty cupboard and a folden futon on the floor, the curtains were open as the sun was shining through the clouds as the air was freezing against the fogged up window.

Your phone vibrated in your hand, making a noise that alarmed both yourself and the boy behind you. 

'ok'

Yurio sighed at the sight of his new room and headed towards his suitcase to grab a change of clothes as you headed back to the door, "You want to see Viktor and Yuuri?" He nodded feebly with red on his face as he was still half naked, "I'll be waiting downstairs."

After a solid seven minutes, the door was opened to reveal Yurio in a black tracksuit jumper and sweat pants with sneakers. He carried a duffle bag over his shoulder as you guess his skates were in there and walked right past you as he turned the corners to get to the front door. You followed closely behind him and waited until you were on the main street to jog quietly and reach his side. Your flippers made an awkward sound on the ground with every step you took and Yurio had been making side glances at you as you went with a grin on your face.

"Stop that, you're creeping me out."

His voice; as always, was stern and blunt, he was bold and unkind without a care for the other persons reaction or feelings. Somehow you knew you could overlook it though, maybe it was because you already declared it as love.  The thumping of your heart wouldn't calm and the feeling only made you smile more, it felt so nice to be next to him, being able to look and speak. He was so small compared to you, it was utterly adorable as he only just managed to reach your shoulders.

His blue eyes had hardened as his blond locks were blown away from his face, the tip of his nose turning red as did his earlobes, "Sorry.. This almost feels like a date though, don't you think?!"

He spat in disgust, partly choking too as you chuckled at his cute behaviour, "That's gross!"

He walked faster, making you speed up and his walk turned into a jog. He began running after a few seconds and didn't look anywhere but ahead of him as your flippers almost fell from your feet. This had caused you to slow back down to a walk as the Ice Castle was only a few minutes away.

You saw a figure waiting at the bottom of the stairs, you could tell it was a male and noticed that it was Sota when catching his blonde hair under that navy blue beanie he wore. Yurio slowed to a walk and cautiously walked past Sota when he looked up, doing a double take when he saw that familiar face with you closely behind.

"Sota-Chan!"

Yurio jumped and moved away to watch you jump on the other guy whose jaw had dropped, "Yu-Yuri Pli-Pl-Plitsky!?"

"PLI-"

Cutting Yurio off, you smiled and backed away to wave your hands at the teen who was gaping in anger, "Yuri Plisetsky! He's here! Can you believe it?!"

Sota was quiet, his eyes were wide in shock though they were dull. His mouth closed slowly before he shook his head in disbelief, "No.... I don't actually.."

A proud sigh left you as you puffed your chest out smugly, placing your hands on your hips, "Sota-Chan! You're the one who said you'd pray with me~!"

His brows furrowed when he glared at Yuri and turned around to leave. You sighed once again and stared after your best friend, looking at Yurio when he looked at Sota's back with a hard look, "I'll see you later Yurio!"

He jumped and opened his mouth only to close it when watching you jump on Sota's back playfully, laughs escaping you.
