Viktor POV

As I sigh seeing how those two have left me once again to practice alone without me. I don't mind spending time with Yuuri but I'm also their coach and I want them to win gold.

"Hey Viktor let's go or are you going to sulk all day," Yuuri said as he had his gear on.

"But they said not to go," I said while sulking in the corner. He looked at me confused as if he didn't know what I was talking about.

"What are you talking about? We're just going to go practice the skating I'm doing this year," he said as I smile.

"Right they can't get mad if we're just there for your practice!"

Your POV

"Yuri put me down!"

"Why?"

"Cause I'm heavy,"

"That's a lie and we both know it," Yuri said as placed me down on the ice but didn't let go of my waist and pulled me closer. As he began to lean in to kiss me I felt like time was slowing down and we were the only ones there. When he pulled away I felt at ease but before I could say anything someone came in.

"Oh, Yuri you here too?" My brother said as I sigh knowing that our time together is up once again.

"Yeah, what do you two want?" He asked as he glared at them.

"Well I have to get some practice in too," he said as I felt Yuri grip my hand a bit.

"Well go somewhere else!" He yelled as I smiled. Ever since I suggested coming to train back here in Hatsetsu he's more protective. Plus seeing that I'm not comfortable with the rumors he might do something that will have the media trying to follow us.

Flashback

"Are you sure you want to move back here?" He asked as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Sorta I guess I'm just trying to run from my problem, but it's not like I want to run away from it. I just don't want to start a conflict that Yakov will want to kick us out," he sigh and pulled me closer to him. I can smell the citrus musk scent that he always gave off whenever I fell asleep with him.

"If things go worse and it comes to that, then we'll leave and come back to Hatsetsu. Even if it means losing that gold medal I would rather lose that than lose my beloved little mouse," he said as I felt a tear in the corner of my eye.

"You're such a charmer Yuri," he smiled and gave me and kiss me again.

"Only when it's you."

End of Flashback

'I guess we will be heading back to Russia in a few days, and that means dealing with those rumors in person too.' I felt a bit nervous about returning but if I don't it's like I'm running away.

"Well seems the rink is more lively today too!" We all looked and see Renji standing there with a few bags

"Oh sorry sir we were trying to get some practice in but I guess we got carried away," my brother said as he chuckled.

"It's fine I miss this place when it was more packed back when Valetta was around. The children loved her very much makes me wish that I can go back to those times," he said but I could tell that he misses Valetta. There are times that I'd miss her even when I'm training I would look for her to get some advice only to see she's not there.

"I figured that our little ice queen didn't eat so brought you guys something to eat. I hope you guys enjoy some Syrniki," he said as I smile.

"When have I ever turned down syrniki," I said as he smiled seeing that I loved any kind of food.

"So does Yuri make them for you," he asked as I smiled.

"Sometimes but the Syrniki that his grandfather makes are so good too." Yuri was prideful seeing that I only enjoy his cooking but grandfathers too.

"Well seeing that you always did enjoy trying a lot of foods, I'm surprised you haven't gotten any weight," he said as I pouted.

"Is that weird to try something different?" I asked as he laugh seeing I got wrong.

"I find it more intriguing to see what other countries are like in food and culture, just like how Valetta would explore more about Japanese cuisine and our culture.' He said as I felt a bit glad I wasn't the only one who enjoyed exploring other cultures.

"I know what you mean, some of the food she makes is so different from the Russian cuisine we all use to, it was simply divine, " Viktor said making Renji smile, seeing that Viktor never lies when it involves food.

"I've been wondering something, what will you do once you retire?" Yuuri asked as he smiled.

"Well, when that time comes I'll pass the ice rink to someone who will make this rink great again. Since we couldn't have children we had an agreement on who to pass the ice rink and all our belongings." He said like he was already prepared for this conversation.

"Say Renji do you know where Valetta's old skating outfits are at?" I asked as he smiled.

"But of course I have them saved just in case you asked for them, why don't you and Yuri come over later today," Renji suggested.

"You do realize Viktor will want to come and knowing him he'll want to see them too." He chuckled knowing full well what Viktor is like.

"That's fine I don't mind him coming along with you brother, I've been meaning to give you something before you all leave for Russia again. Valetta asked me to give it to you when you were older and I think you are at the right age to receive it." He said as he began to make his way to the office.

"I wonder what it could be if he waited this long to give it to me?'

Yuri POV

After the old man left I still wanted to stay by her side a bit longer before we started to practice our programs.

"Yuri, what's wrong?" She asked as I snapped back to reality.

"I've been thinking about something, why don't we go out on a date tomorrow." She was surprised but then I saw her beautiful smile.

"Sure," I smiled and lean down to kiss her cheek.

"Then we'll continue where we left off tomorrow," I whispered as she blushed red and try to hide her face but I didn't let her and kissed her lips before walking.

'She's too cute for her own good.'
