Chapter One: Morning Moments

Victor never got tired of that image, Yuuri sleepily wandering out of their bedroom, trying and failing to push his messy coal black hair out of his face, eyes watery with sleep. His eyes wandered over his husband, from his sleep-blurred movements to the marks over his inner thighs from the night before. Sexy, cute, wonderful, everything...

"Coffee." Yuuri hissed.

Victor's moment was gone. Yuuri glared angrily at Victor, apparently not sure what to do with himself either, before waddling into the kitchen scowling for no particular reason.

Victor smiled under his hands, which he had neatly folded at his chin; didn't want to chance provoking early-morning-Yuuri.

"He's perfect." Victor beamed. He wouldn't have Yuuri any other way.

Yuuri stumbled back into the breakfast room. Victor's home was much roomier than Yuuri's in Japan to say the least. Coffee now in hand, Yuuri at least seemed hospitable.

"Good morning, Prince Yuu~ri!" Victor chimed.

"Osu..." Yuuri grumbled in reply, much more concerned with his caffeine.


"Victor?"

"Yeah~?"

"Why are you such a 'doting house wife type'?"

"Umm... I don't know, I never thought about it, but I fit that I suppose... I guess I just sort of am? Why is it so odd?"

"Ah, well, you're the pitcher."

"What? What does that even mean?"

"Ah- if you don't know, nevermind."


"Yuri, what the hell is this?" Victor waved a container of coffee in Yuuri's face.

"Co-ffee?" Yuuri replied, setting down the article he had been reading online.

Victor erupted into a fit. "Coffee? Coffee? Yuuri, I have all the money in the world, and you go and buy supermarket brand instant horse crap! You don't even add milk, you barely add sugar, you monster! I demand you drink my coffee!"

Yuuri smiled. "Okay."

Victor stomped away, returning with his own cup. Yuuri accepted it and brought it to his lips.

"It's warm... And it's sugary and soft... It's comforting and it smells good." Yuuri murmured. "Like Victor..."

Victor quickly ended up on the floor.

Yuuri took another sip, smiling brightly.

"It's weak and fruity like you, too~!"
