A/N: Hello, people!
I don't own Yuri! on Ice.
I have no beta.
ENJOY!
CHECK ME OUT ON TUMBLR. HELLY-WATERMELONSMELLINFELLON. I FOLLOW BACK.
-Here's the part with Yuuri having
dual-citizenship. Just pretend that
it's possible in this fic's universe. I
just figure it's best to mention now
because someone over on AO3 lost
their mind over it.
v-nikiforov Look at how adorable they are when they
sleep! #muchluv #makkaandyuuri #feels #favpeople

"Come on, Yuuri! Are you telling me that you haven't even shown Victor just what you're capable of yet?"
The mortification he felt would never be leveled. He didn't expect to find a pole in Minako's dance studio when he brought Victor in that day. Victor was just supposed to watch him do some warm ups and then they'd be on their way. But apparently his instructor of many years had other ideas. She was evil incarnate.
It was a point in his life that he didn't think about, mostly because he made him a little embarrassed. And it was all Phichit's fault of course! Sure, he'd taken pole classes for several months, but Phichit had been right there beside him doing all of the work too! So why was it Yuuri was being pulled into this?
Victor was simply staring at the pole, looking very confused and asking what was going on.
Minako merely smiled and handed Yuuri the key to the studio. "Don't take too long, and don't forget to lock up when you're finished."
Before she could step out the door, she turned back, with an evil smile on her face, and said, "And if you make a mess, it better be cleaned up before you go."
"Why would we make a mess?" inquired Victor, though neither gave him an answer.
A moment later, both were alone in the studio, with a pole between them.
Yuuri was going to demonstrate his… skills for Victor. And Victor was going to take it.
He probably should have defined what 'take it' was supposed to mean, before he didn't anything else. The following mess they made of the studio would forever be seared into his memory, and the knowledge in Minako's eyes whenever she looked at them any time afterwards, would follow him forever.
Chris: I can't believe u only just found out.
Chris: Do u not read the credits when ur finished?
Victor: No. Credits R usually so boring!
Chris: True. But it's right there in the credits.
Victor: I'm just so impressed! （人´∀`*）
Chris: I can tell. (¬_¬)
Chris: You haven't shut up about it.
Victor: And guess what?
Chris: I'm sure you'll tell me anyway.
Victor: He can pole dance too!
Chris: !O_O!
Chris: R we talking about the same person?
Victor: Not as well as you do, but he was so limber!
Victor: I never expected to see it in person!
Victor: And he did things on that pole…
Chris: Damn.
Victor: I will never be the same again.
Victor: And he got so bossy too!
Chris: Was there some action? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Victor: More than just action. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Victor: He pinned me to the hardwood!
Chris: Rode you like a stallion, huh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Victor: Basically.
Victor: It was fantastic!
Victor: 11/10 would ride again.
Chris: Kinky. What a surprise.
Victor: My Yuuri is perfection walking!
Chris: U will never understand how glad I am that U finally got yourself a lover who is good 4 U.
Victor: ^-^
Chris: I'm serious.
Chris: I don't often have inspiring shit 2 say, but I'm not totally oblivious.
Chris: You were no longer happy.
Chris: It was alarming.
Victor: Was I /THAT/ obvious?
Victor: I mean, do you think everyone noticed?
Chris: No. But I've known U since our teen years.
Chris: I pick things up easier.
Chris: And now U have Yuuri who will keep U from getting so down all the time.
Victor: I do!
Chris: So don't fuck up.
Chris: He's a good guy.
Victor: I promise I will try my best.
Chris: Good, cuz Chulanont knows how to make your life hell if you don't.
Victor: Huh?
Chris: Don't underestimate him simply because he's cute.
Chris: He knows things. Little devil, he is.
"There's another con we can go to!"
Yuuri had honestly never been to so many conventions in his life. Ever since On ICE! had come out, he'd found himself attending more and more. Being recognized by more and more fans. They had recently decided to start calling him 'Yuuri-sama' over on Twitter and had it trending at number four for several hours.
Victor was excited because there was another con they could go to, except this one wasn't in Japan. It was in Canada. Anime North was a rather big convention and had sections for varying interests. The con was at the end of May and Victor looked so excited. Though to be honest, whenever they went to a con together, they ended up having the time of their lives.
"Don't you have an ice show to do in May?" he asked, remembering that Victor was set to skate in something called Love on Ice or whatever. He would be the main lead and love interest and there was a kiss expected. He'd asked Yuuri if he was comfortable with that and Yuuri honestly did not mind. Acting was acting, even on the ice. Victor was in a relationship with him and liked him over anyone else. Also, Victor wasn't attracted to blondes so his fellow skater didn't even have a chance should she try anything. Yuuri didn't have to feel threatened because Victor had traveled across the world spontaneously for him, multiple times. He never did such a thing for anyone else.
At the reminder of his obligations, Victor pouted heavily. "It's a week long showing that will take place from the twenty-ninth to the fourth, with two shows a day. So I can go with you and then hustle on over to New York City. Everything would work out just fine, I promise!"
"Okay, but I would still need to know if we are attending to attend as fans, or would we be vendors again? That would take some time of course, but it could be done, especially if I can convince Sayo-san of a few things."
"Vending would mean spreading more publicity and you would probably need some more helpers since On ICE! is so highly anticipated and loved by all the fans! And you could probably get a bunch of merchandise in order to sell it at the table of your choice," said Victor, eyes bright with interest.
He nodded. "The only thing is that I have dual citizenship in Japan and America - because I got naturalized years go - and I can get the licences necessary for either country. In other countries it takes a bit more work in finding laws specifically and the permission for a foreigner to sell products, as well as the fact that it would take more money to get a booth because it's a month away and usually people prepare for these things a few months in advance, like the con we just did in Tokyo. I had planned that three months ago, with Sayo's and Asahi's assistance. And the other cons had also been planned way ahead of time."
He just didn't like not having things properly planned out. He was the person who spent fifteen years planning for a video game of all things. He liked order and neatness. Yuuri wanted to do things because they were planned and not spur of the moment. Sometimes things could appear rushed that way.
Victor sighed, crestfallen. "I suppose we can just go as fans." And then, a sparkle filled his eyes. "There are no laws saying we can't hand out free merch though, right?"
"What?"
"I need a mass order of On ICE! merchandise, Yuuri! Are there any stores that can afford to lose thousands of items at once or maybe a warehouse we can go directly to?"
{OMG! #OnICE}

Victor gasped as Yuuri stepped foot onto the ice and Ice Castle. All the other times they had visited the rink, Yuuri had refused the opportunity to step onto the ice with him, leaving Victor to do all the fancy footwork. But now... now he was truly showing off.
Having been in the business of fame for years, Victor knew when he was being flirted with and when someone was trying to earn his favor. Yuuri was already a champion at both and was held in the highest esteem in his eyes, but he was flattered that Yuuri would go to such lengths just to impress him. It made him feel special and wanted, and it was arousing in a sense, that Yuuri could speak his favorite language so well.
Yuuri was a natural on skates, which was amazing considering he never wanted to join competitive skating himself! He could have been an amazing figure skater. Victor quietly mourned the loss of a chance to compete against his dear Yuuri. All the fun they could have had competing against one another!
And the most amazing part of the entire situation, was the fact that Yuuri was skating to one of Victor's old Short Programs from back when he was a Junior. No, he wasn't doing anything beyond a Double in terms of jumping, but his steps and spins were something to be admired. A sort of unexplored grace in his movements that Victor hadn't expected to see.
"It was so beautiful!" he crooned when Yuuri stepped off the ice. "You have so much skill for a non-competitive skater, Yuuri! I'm so proud of you!"
A delightful flush worked its way down Yuuri's checks and under his shirt. Victor hummed to himself in order to keep his impulses under control. It wouldn't do to offend any of Yuuri's friends with his naughty thoughts or behavior.
"Something you might be even more proud of, is the fact that I'm the one who choreographed most of the routines for the game as well as the anime. And they recorded me skating to them."
Mouth agape, Victor simply stared at his lover in bewildered amazement.
Yuuri was too busy taking a drink of cold water to see his expression, for which Victor was glad. Because the revelation that Yuuri had been the one to choreograph over one hundred different routines, was mind-blowing! As each character came with four possible routines to choose from, two Shorts and two Free, and then one Exhibition should they actually get over the three hundred point mark, that meant five routines a character!
His Yuuri was so damn skilled, Victor didn't even know where to start with his praise.
"I received input from different people of course. Minako-sensei was a great inspiration since she was my ballet instructor for so long and she understood that other opinions mattered. Guang Hong, Phichit, Christophe, Surya, and Johnny all had artistic say in the choreography for their characters, but ultimately I did the most work. They all seemed to really appreciate the fact that each routine held a sort of feel for who they were."
Yuuri chuckled and shook his head. "As Yuri was inspired by you, many wondered if I could even choreograph something that would feel like it was you. They didn't realize how big of a fan of you I was until they saw me perform the Victory Short Program for your character. No doubts came after that."
His Yuuri was so talented and amazing. Victor couldn't help but rush in and wrap his arms around the shorter man again. "Yuuri, I adore everything about you! Never forget that!"
The charming laugh he got for his efforts just lifted his spirits even further. He was a very lucky man.
"Yuuri! Do you think we're going to need a bigger truck?"
Yuuri stared at the shop interior, noticing that indeed, most of what was inside was On ICE! merchandise. And Victor wanted to purchase all of it.
He sent an apologetic look toward the woman behind the counter while verbally agreeing with his boyfriend.
"Yes, Vitya. We're going to need a much bigger truck."
{Holy shit! #Victuuri [PHOTO]}

{wtf are they doing?}

{ v-nikiforov and Katsu_ki are riding around Anime North, in a big ass rental truck that's covered in #OnICE stickers!}

{I'm surprised that Katsu_ki doesn't have a booth. Wouldn't it have been easier to sell the stuff?}

{I don't know and I don't care. They're angels and I love them!}
||
{#onice #dead #jealousrightnow #animenorth}
|||
{#OnICE How can these two exist? And how is v-nikiforov so involved all the time?}
||||
{Well he really loved the game and he's voiced Yuri in the INT version of the show, so I'm not even shocked.}
|||||
{This takes some dedication istg.}
||||||
{Is this a sponsored thing or is it just them doing it?}
|||||||
{I think it's just them. And if so, more love.}
{So v-nikiforov came into my shop yesterday and bought all the #OnICE merch. He then asked if any other shops had more merch.}
|
{WHAT?!}
||
{YEAH! He just walked in, asked for every piece of #OnICE merch we had and paid up front. Katsu_ki was there too!}
|||
{Did you get an autograph? #Bruh}
||||
{*blushes* [PHOTO]}
|||||
{FUCK YEAH!}
{i was at anime north 2day and i saw Katsu_ki in person and he signed my shirt and gave me plush of mitsuru! #onice}
|
{They know how to hype the fan base up for the anime!}
{Yamaguchi Sayo just said that #OnICE will be streamed on Sushiroll, ANIMAtion, and AnimeCorner in conjunction w/the show's airtime.}
|
{So do I wait to use my 14 day free trial in order to binge at once, or just pre-order the anime now?}
{Bless the #OnICE creators. #therealMVPs #respect}
|
{Who gives a shit about the gay shit?}
||
{Obviously all 490K+ people tagging it, dumbass.}
{#OnICE Perfection. Nothing else I can say. Eh, Eh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ }
Rarely did Katsuki Yuuri have to stop and think about life, but as the success of video game continued to spread, he found him self constantly aware of just how lucky he was. How many people got to make their dreams come true, see it reach inter national fame, meet their idol, date their idol, meet such incredible people who also happened to be famous, and work with some of the best people in the world? Yuuri was so lucky and he couldn't help but sigh happily.
Skating, video games, anime, and a sexy man greeting him when he walked in the door. It was like the dream life for some, and Yuuri was the one living it.
"Zolotse, why are you just staring at the sea?"
"Because I used to go down to the ocean after practice and wish that I would succeed. And now look at me. I have succeeded in a way I could never have dreamed."
Victor wrapped his arms around Yuuri's waist and hugged him tightly. "It's all that dedication, Yuuri. You been working and fighting and you've done what others haven't had the chance to. And you'll keep moving forward because I know you would never stop now. There are too many opportunities ahead of you."
He was right of course. On ICE! would not be his only creation. Yuuri intended to keep making games, even if some weren't as flashy or dedicated as the one that won more than two hundred awards since it had been released.
"And I'll be with you the entire way," Victor promised, placing a kiss on Yuuri's cheek.
"Mm... I think we need to celebrate," said Yuuri, turning in order to wrap his arms around Victor.
"I like the way you think, lapochka!"
The celebration lasted well into the morning and Yuuri made sure Victor loved every moment.
A/N: Another is done!
How was it? Let me know!
