"There's no way in hell I'm doing that!" Yurio yelled angrily, I sighed and looked down. The ice rink was always empty in the mornings, Yurio's voice echoed and bounced off the walls. "First you tell me my routine will be based off Agape, then you tell me I have to go school!?" He yelled as he skated toward Victor.

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "If it makes you feel better I hate my routine too, and I'm pretty sure school won't be that bad," I assured, my routine was going to be based on Eros, I didn't even have the slightest clue of what Eros was to me! Yurio glared at me. "What makes you think I'll enjoy school?" He growled. "Moreover the Agape routine?"

I released his shoulder. "Right.." I frowned, although an Eros routine for a fifteen-year-old probably wouldn't be appropriate for the audience. "How about a reward then?" Victor suggested. "Hm? I thought it wasn't going to be competitive though." I looked at Victor with concern filled eyes. "A reward for both of you, If course, a separate reward for each." He stated. "I don't want to go to school. Would that count?" Yurio asked. "Sorry but it's a must for you to go to school." Victor apologized with a pitiful smile.

Yurio cursed under his breath and crossed his arms. "Then I want a..." He trailed off and blushed darkly. "A tiger plush." He grumbled. Victor laughed and ruffled Yurio's blonde hair in which Yurio pushed his hand away with a snarl. "You're cute Yurio." Victor smiled and backed away from him and skated toward me. "You didn't fall at all today Yuuri I'm proud. What do you want from me if you do a great job on the routine?" He asked as he slung his arm over my shoulder.

I thought for a while wondering just what exactly would fill my needs, though I'm pretty sure Victor was the one who already filled my needs. What more could I want? I gasped. "I-I want to eat..p-pork cutlet bowls with you." I stammered out despite my courage I had just seconds ago. I felt Victor freeze for a long while until a burst of laughter startled both Yurio and I. "Is that really all?" Victor asked as he wiped tears from the corners of his eyes due to how hard he was laughing.

I nervously looked down and nodded as I twisted the hem of my shirt, he abruptly stopped laughing. "Yuuri.." I was afraid to meet his gaze, was it really a silly request? Victor turned me around to face him, I kept my gaze on the ground. He gripped my chin and forced me to look up, I averted his gaze. "Yuuri look at me." He demanded, I shook my head and squeezed my eyes shut.

I heard him sigh. "You think you can give us a moment Yurio?" He quietly said to him. There was the sound of his skates against the ice and then soon enough the locker room door shutting close. "Open your eyes Yuuri, please look at me." Both his hands rested at the sides of my face his thumbs caressing my cheeks, I slowly opened my eyes and looked into his beautiful eyes.

He gave a small sigh of relief and pressed his forehead against my own. "I didn't even ask you properly Yuuri." He mumbled. "What are you talking about?" I asked with a pout. He chuckled and pulled away and rested his hands on my waist, he skated taking me along with him, I rested my hands on his shoulders. We both skated together for a while until his grip on my waist tightened. "Vic-" I was lifted from the ground, my hands slid down and gripped onto his forearms.

A yelp escaped my lips and my eyes went wide, my heart pounded rapidly against my chest. Victor smiled. "Amazing Yuuri!" He shifted a bit on the ice before lowering me, my feet still hovered above the ice. "Yuuri please do me the honors of becoming my lover." I blushed as our faces inched closer, I swallowed. "O-okay..I'll be your lover. In exchange, you have to be my lover too." I stated.

He giggled. "I already fell for you a long time ago." With that he pulled me into a kiss, as our lips moved in sync he placed me back on the ground and held the back of my head. He yanked at my hair causing me to asp at the sudden sharp pain giving him an opportunity to shove his tongue in my mouth. I whimpered allowing him to do as he pleased until I had enough and pushed him away with a soft shove.

My face was hot with my blush and I looked away as I placed my fingers on my lips, Victor cleared his throat and was also in the same condition I was in, but instead, he was smiling as his fingers rested on his lips. I frowned at him. "Stop that,” I demanded, he giggled in response. "Yurio is waiting., I said and skated toward the exit of the rink. "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it Yuuri, I know you did." Victor teased.

I ignored him and slid on the rubber guards on my skates before going to the locker room where Yurio was on his phone sitting on a bench, I sat beside him and untied my skates. "You know. School isn't always that bad." I said as I slipped off my skates, I laughed at the Makkachin socks my mother made and slipped them off to see the damage done to my sore feet.

I frowned at the sight, my feet were bruised and now that I took notice I realized how much they hurt when removed them. "What the heck?..how long have you been on the ice?" Yurio asked I hummed in thought, it had been exactly two weeks since Victor finally got me to eat, after that day we began our usual practice routines. I still had to learn a few new jumps which lead to nonstop training, I never accepted failures or flubs.

I flinched when Victor arrived. "Two weeks." I quickly muttered to Yurio and slipped on my socks before Victor could see, I stood and bit my lip at the sudden pain, as I walked pass Victor I hid my limp and went to my locker to grab my shoes. With a small cheer to myself, I put my skates away in my backpack and slipped on my shoes with great ease not wanting to hurt my feet more.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and waited for Victor, Yurio was engrossed with his phone I looked over his shoulder to see him like a post on Instagram, the photo was of a boy who was tall and had short black hair, he seemed to have a serious expression on his face as he showed off his motorcycle which gave me the chills. I turned away minding my own business. "Let's give it a week before the big day! You both have been improving a lot so I expect nothing less." Victor announced.

I groaned in response and slumped my shoulders, my self-esteem and confidence were at a low level right now, Yurio glared at Victor before looking at me, his eyes averted to my feet. I shook my head at him and gave him a pleading look to which he frowned and reluctantly nodded in agreement. I smiled thankfully at him and straightened my posture when Victor walked up to me with a soft smile. "I can't wait to see your Eros Yuuri." He purred.

I groaned once again. "Right.., I mumbled darkly and frowned. "Yurio!" Yuuko happily skipped into the locker room and handed a leopard printed backpack to Yurio. "I heard you were going to attend school so I bought you this backpack." She smiled kindly at him. Yurio blushed and pressed the backpack against his chest. "Spasibo.." He muttered, Victor and smiled at his change of attitude. He went from a sassy teenager to a cute shy blonde boy.

--------------🌊--------------

Yurio growled angrily. "Stupid Victor making me do stupid stuff for stupid reasons!" He rambled on, I could barely hear him due to how loud the currents of water were. The first few days of our final week both Yurio and I were supposed to find what our routine topics were to us. Which lead us standing under a waterfall. "Why was I dragged into this again?" I asked and frowned at the thin clothes we wore. "This is stupid..how is this supposed to help me find my Agape anyways?" Yurio mumbled and then closed his eyes before taking a deep breath as if to clear his mind.

Then there was just silence, I grew worried at his sudden silence and looked at him. His eyes were still closed, it looked as if he were dozing off, possibly in deep thought by now. Taking notice of the cool breeze I grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the water as I called out his name. He grunted and his eyes flew open "Yurio, it's getting a bit cold out we should head back." I suggested, he looked at me with a softness in his eyes. Something changed about him, but I couldn't exactly tell what it was.

"Uhm yeah.." He nodded at me before sneezing, I worriedly frowned and helped him out of the water. I limped toward the benches and grabbed my bag. "You know if you keep pushing yourself over the limit it's not going to end so well., Yurio said with weariness in his voice, I simply nodded. "I know, but I can assure you that everything will turn out okay. Just worry for yourself okay?"

-----------------------------

The very next day Victor hadn't arrived at the rink, Yurio was angry. "They said he drank till dawn, that stupid ass." He cursed under his breath, I frowned. I tied up my skates and followed Yurio to the rink. "Uhm hey Yurio, do you think you can help me land a Salchow?" I asked pleadingly. "Ugh..." He groaned before reluctantly nodding. "Fine." He muttered, we skidded onto the ice I followed Yurio's examples but flubbed many of them.

After what seemed like hours I managed to land a few before I paused to catch my breath. "Come on pork cutlet bowl, put more effort into it." He stated we were both interrupted when the doors flew open revealing a tired looking Victor. His hair was sticking out in every direction, bags rested under his eyes, and the tip of his nose was red. I looked back at Yurio and nodded at him. "Just like we practiced,” I stated and glided away from him.

He began his Agape routine, something was definitely different. His movements were filled with much more emotion, and when he clasped his hands together looking upward I knew both Victor and I saw the amazing change, Yurio had found his Agape. As soon as he finished Victor gave him a round of applause and congratulated him, it was now my turn.

I glided to the center beginning with the signature move of the routine, and then I began. As I moved I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong, the way I moved just didn't feel right. I didn't feel right. I remembered the story I told to Takeshi as he helped me stretch, about the playboy and the damsel. I couldn't possibly pull it off as a playboy, moreover a very attracting one.

I was way too deep within my thoughts though it was time to jump, I needed to succeed this jump! Oh god, how did it go again? Was it a toe loop or Salchow? It was too late, I jumped clumsily and ended up doing a double toe loop, wait a minute did even need to jump!? Right, it was the Salchow I needed to land!

I was so caught up with the future I got my routine all jumbled up! This was my failure, I'm not even competing yet I still failed. Now I was going to have to pay for my mistake.

I landed harshly not even watching my footing, I bit my bottom lip so hard I instantly tasted copper in my mouth, my heart dropped and my blood went cold. Right when I landed there was a sickening snap...and then excruciating pain. I was surely going to pay for my mistakes now.
