A Time Like This

A series of emergencies disrupts the competitive skating season, throwing Victor and Yuuri together. Yuuri has idolized and pined for Victor for years, but Victor's just discovering all the things that make Yuuri wonderful, and adoring every of them. Yakov is at his wits end with his skaters. Yuri Plisetsky could not be more irritated.

“You're not a morning person, Yuuri?” Victor sounded amused, and Yuuri turned…to find his face only inches away. He almost passed out. He almost combusted.

“Uhhhh. Not really."

“What is your perfect morning?” Victor asked, not moving away, so Yuuri put his back against the cold of the window. Because otherwise he might have done something so ridiculous there wasn’t a name for it. (Kiss, kiss was the name of it)

“A late one,” Yuuri said. “Waking late, without an alarm. Coffee and breakfast while my roommate catches me up on All the Gossip. Maybe second breakfast. Then finding a quiet patch of ice.”

“Second breakfast? Like a hobbit?” Victor laughed and Yuuri laughed as well, confused. His idol was a nerd? The most beautiful man in the world thought he was funny?
