I don't own Yuri on Ice or its characters, the only characters that I own are Issa, Katya and Aleksei...enjoy :)
I was seated at the counter, watching while Viktor prepared my favorite meal, Katsudon, or pork cutlet bowl. We were celebrating the end of the Shanghai Figure Skating competition, and my first place victory.
"Ah, Aibou that smells amazing!" I said drooling, as Maccachin put his paws up on the edge of the counter.
Smiling, he turned and winked at me. "Only the best, my zvyozdochka. You deserve this after your breath taking performance," he said, flipping the egg. "They should be done any minute now." My stomach growled impatiently as the smell of cooking food filled the kitchen.
"So, I had an idea," I started, as he dished up the bowls, my stomach growling again.
"Oh yeah? What is this idea of yours?" he asked, setting the two steaming bowls down on the counter before sitting down across from me.
"I was thinking, that with all the competitions and all the traveling, we haven't had a chance to go away for a while, just you and Maccachin and I. What do you think if we took some time off and disappeared for a while?" I asked, fiddling with the ring on my right hand.
Viktor was quiet for a while, no doubt contemplating my proposal. I stared into my bowl, not wanting to see the look on his face. He reached over and took my hand in his, my eyes snapping up to meet his gaze. "I think that's a wonderful idea, zvyozdochka," he said smiling that smile that I love so much.
That evening, after we finished our meal and the dishes were washed and dried, we retreated upstairs to the office to plan our trip.
I was seated at Viktor's desk with Viktor standing behind me, his arms around my shoulders, watching as I typed. "How do you feel about skiing?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Skiing would be nice! And when we get cold we ca-" he said, whispering the rest in my ear.
"Viktor! Behave!" I giggled, turning a furious shade of crimson as I typed in a search for ski resorts. "Ah, here we go! Hokkaido! My parents took a trip there for business many years ago and they loved!" I said, looking up at him.
"Perfect!" he said, kissing the top of my head. Grinning from ear to ear, I booked our stay at the resort and the train trip up to Hokkaido. "All we have to do is pack," I said, sitting back. I was eager (and impatient) for our departure date to hurry up and arrive.
A week later
At last, the date for our trip to Hokkaido arrived. I woke early, silently slipping from bed to grab my jacket from the back of the door.
As I pulled my jacket over my head, Maccachin raised his head. "Shh! Don't wake him up, I have a surprise," I whispered, winking as I slipped out the door. Maccachin, understanding my message, took over my spot on the bed, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
As quietly as I could, I began bouncing around the kitchen, gathering everything that I would need to make Viktor's favorite breakfast: blintzes with fruit, kasha, Tamagoyaki, and Sladkay Bulochka. As my stomach growled, I grinned to myself, knowing that this would be a fantastic start to what will be an amazing vacation.
Soon enough, the house was full of different smells, making my mouth water and my stomach growl loudly. Suddenly, I heard footsteps and the patter of paws above me, and was putting the finishing touches on breakfast by the time Viktor and Maccachin entered the kitchen.
"Good morning, Aibou! I didn't wake you with all my noise did I?" I said, looking over my shoulder, grinning.
"You little minx! Your noise didn't wake me up, the smell of that delicious food did! I wondered what you were up to when I rolled over and, instead of wrapping my arms around you, I wrapped them around Maccachin," he chuckled, gently smacking my ass and kissing me on the cheek.
"Aw! Am I being replaced by Maccachin?! I'm hurt! And here I went to al-" I said, before getting cut off.
Viktor was at my back in an instant, his arms around my waist and lips at my ear. "No one could ever replace you! Not even Maccachin," he growled in my ear as he kissed my neck.
I closed my eyes as he kissed my neck, temporarily forgetting that I needed to stir the kasha and flip the blintzes. "Go sit down before I burn your breakfast!" I chuckled, batting him away. He kissed my neck one more time before going and sitting at the counter.
"What time does the train leave?" he asked as he picked up the paper to scan it quickly.
I brought his plate and a steaming cup of coffee to him, and as I set it down, I replied, "it leaves at 3pm and we check into the resort once we arrive in Hokkaido."
As I set my plates and my coffee on the counter, he grinned. "Perfect! It will give us time to pack at our leisure," he said, winking as I sat down across from him, diving into my breakfast.
We sat in relative silence, eating our breakfast. Maccachin sat at my side, impatiently waiting for something to fall from my plate, or for one of us to give him a bite. "I don't think so! Not after the bun incident!" I said, looking down and winking at Maccachin.
"Oh, Aibou! You really out did yourself!" Viktor said, leaning back in his chair, pushing his empty plate away.
I stood and reached for his plate, smiling and saying, "I'm glad you enjoyed breakfast Aibou, I know these are your favorite things!" He gently smacked my hand away, saying, "Oh no you don't! You made this fabulous breakfast! I will do dishes before we go and pack."
"It's ok, you relax! It won't ta- "
"Don't argue with me, zvyozdochka! You relax and I will do dishes!" he said, taking the plates out of my hands, kissing me on the cheek. I shook my head, grinning as I sat back down.
Once the dishes were finished and drying, we retreated upstairs.
"Do you want to pack your skates, Aibou?" I asked from the closet, as I stacked jackets and warm clothes in my arms, our skates hidden underneath the stack.
"Nah, I want to be able to relax, not worry about the next competition or skating or next season. I just want to spend the time with you and Maccachin," he said, patting Maccachin on the head. Careful not to disrupt the stack of clothes in my arms, I backed out of the closet.
"My goodness! Are you bringing the whole wardrobe with you?" he laughed as I tossed the stack carefully on the bed, careful to keep our skates hidden.
"I want to be sure you stay warm, is all! It gets very cold in Hokkaido," I chuckled as I folded the last thick sweater and tossed it into the suitcase before zipping it shut. "Believe me, my zvyozdochka, I will be very warm," he breathed in my ear, as my face flushed.
"There we go! All packed!" I said, grinning as I turned to face him, pecking him on the cheek.
"Let's get Maccachin's things together and we can be off," Viktor said, as he grabbed the heavy suitcase. Maccachin trailed happily behind him and I behind Maccachin as we headed downstairs.
Once we had Maccachin's things together, and ensure things were in order, we headed out the door. I held Maccachin's bag in one hand and the handle of his leash in the other as Viktor locked the door and punched in the security code.
"Let's be off!" he said happily, as we loaded our bags and hopped in the cab that had pulled up in front of the house.
