(Yuuri's POV)

"Just follow my lead." And with that, I stand up and lead Viktor over towards the rink. I wrap my arm around his waist and he drapes his arm on my shoulders. And we walk side by side through the double doors and to the rink side. Yuuko already has Axel, Lutz, and Loop situated on the boards spaced apart and each one has a video camera. Both Nishigori and Yuuko have their skates on but they aren't on the ice just yet. I raise my free hand and wave at them. "This looks great Yuuko-chan."

Nishigori walks over to us "So Yuuko says you need some extra eyes on Yuuri. I'll stand by the far exit and Yuuko will be opposite of Viktor. Does this work for you guys?"

Viktor nods "Yes it does."

"Before we get started Viktor and I have a question for you guys." I squeeze Viktor's waist due to nerves. He in return squeezes my shoulder.

"What is it Uncle Yuuri?" the triplets say together.

"Well," I start while looking up at Viktor "I know I speak for both of us when I ask will you guys help my sister plan our wedding?"

The triplets jaws drop and they almost drop the camcorders onto the ice. Yuuko just smiles and Nishigori laughs. Yuuko steps forward and places a hand on my shoulder. "Of course we will you guys."

Nishigori reaches forward and smacks my arm lightly "No problem. Just let us know when you guys want to have it and we will work to set it up."

I start tearing up "Thank you so very much." I lean into Viktor and cry a little into his shirt.

Viktor pulls Yuuko and Nishigori into a hug. "I'm thinking during the offseason. That way we can have our skating friends at our wedding. And as long as Yuuri gets a gold medal before then we will have our wedding this coming year. Otherwise, it will be the following summer."

I deadpan at him "You were serious about that?"

Viktor laughs "Of course I was. As both your coach and now your fiance I would love to see a gold medal hanging around your neck. I know you can do it. I believe in you. And so does everyone else." Viktor's grip on me tightens slightly "Now let's get practice started. I need to know how dizzy you get during spins first before we even attempt jumps. So let's start with a level one spin."

"Which one?"

"A basic sit spin will work for now."

"Okay, let me warm up." I let go of Viktor and walk over to the entrance to the ice. I take off my blade guards, set them on the boards, and step on to the ice. A rush of cold air flows past me as I skate on unmarked ice. I love being the first one to mark up the ice. I skate a lap around the rink before doing some forward and backward twizzles and crossovers. Once I feel like I'm warmed up enough I call out to Viktor "I'm ready." Viktor then steps on to the ice with Yuuko and Nishigori in tow. I wait until they are in position and Viktor gives me a thumbs up and I return it.

I skate around the rink once more, building up speed and momentum before sliding into a sit spin. It starts off fine, no dizziness felt. I slow down and stand up, still not dizzy. I turn towards Viktor "I'm not dizzy."

Viktor has a small smile on his face "Good, now let's try a level two sit spin."

"Okay." And I once again go through the motions to slid into a level two sit spin. Only I'm going too fast, so the level two became a level four. So far I'm not dizzy which I'm greatly happy for. As I stand up though I feel a little light-headed and I stumble forward on the ice. Within seconds Viktor has me in his arms, his chest to my back, keeping me from falling.

"Are you dizzy?" his voice laced with concern.

I cling to his arms as the lightheadedness fades. "Not dizzy, just light-headed."

Viktor grip on me tightens. "You almost fell" he whispers in my ear. "When did you start feeling light-headed?"

"When I started standing up. I'm sorry I turned it into a level four."

"I know. I noticed that. I figured it was an accident. I'm just glad I caught you before you fell."

"Can I try and do a level three sit spin?"

"Are you still light-headed?"

"No, I'm feeling fine. I promise."

Viktor kisses my cheek "Okay, then I'll let you do it." He lets me go and skates over to where he was prior. I know I'm blushing and it's all caught on camera. I shake my head and get into position. This attempt goes smoothly. I manage to do a level three sit spin and not get dizzy or light-headed. "Okay, Yuuri now let's work on your camel spins from Eros and Yuri on Ice. I'll let you work up to level four. So please try and not skip levels if you can."

"Alright, here I go." The next three attempts at a camel spin were successful, but I'm dreading the fourth. As I start the fourth attempt I immediately can tell something is off. I'm barely three rotations in before I fall to the ice, though my head never hits the ice. It instead hit Viktors out-stretched hands. My vision is blurry and I'm dizzy and light-headed.

Viktor gently moves my head to sit on his lap, his knee under him on the ice. "Yuuri, I know you don't want to hear it but we might have to pull you from Nationals."

"But Viktor" I protest "I'm fine up till level three. I'll just lower the difficulty on my spins."

Viktor sighs "If you can't do level four spins, you can't do any quads. That may be fine for Nationals, but for FC and Worlds you might not place well."

"Then I won't do any quads at Nationals. By the time FC rolls around the doctor could have helped me get it under control."

"sighs Yuuri before we get ahead of ourselves, how about we find out if you can do any jumps in the first place?"

"Once my head stops spinning I'll work on singles."

"Okay." A few minutes pass before I'm able to sit up and several more minutes before I can stand. Viktor and I slowly skate around the rink as he holds me to his chest. "Yuuri."

I tilt my head up "Yeah?"

"I'm thinking of having you run through Eros and YoI while marking your jumps. That way you get the practice you need without the dangers of the jumps, at least for today."

"Can we work on singles tomorrow?" I plead slightly.

"I'll think about it, but for now let's run through Eros and YoI. Remember mark your jumps and no higher than level three on your spins."

"Hai." And with that, I separate from Viktor and wait until he is back in position before I get in position for Eros. As the music starts I lose myself in the performance. I let my mind focus just enough so that I don't fall back on muscle memory. I'm also trying to apply the feelings I felt during the few intimate moments we have had.

By the time the song ends and I'm catching my breath, Viktor comes up behind me, holds me to his chest, and whispers in my ear "The things you do to me and the things I'll do to you when you're ready."

I'm shocked and I feel my face heat up but not to be undone I whisper back "Is that a threat or a promise?" It's now Viktor's turn to blush and it's a good look on him, I like it.

Viktor stammers "I... don't... know."

I twist towards him and kiss his cheek. As I pull away I say softly over my shoulder "I have one more routine to go through before we can leave. You might want to move." That gets him into gear. He skates back over to his spot and we exchange thumbs up before I get ready for YoI. As I skate I'm filled with a better sense of what love really means. I'm not skating sensually but I'm skating with a renewed purpose. And even though I'm marking my jumps and have lowered the difficulty of my spins, I still feel proud of this run through.

As I reach out for Viktor I notice that he is reaching for me in return. I start crying as I skate over towards him. I jump into his arm and he spins us around. Once we've come to a stop, I hear the clapping and whistling coming from the triplets. My face burns from embarrassment and I hide it in the crook of Viktor's neck. He chuckles slightly in my ear before whispering "Moya Lyubov it's ok they're just happy for you."

I mutter into his neck "I've never acted this way before. I'm so embarrassed."

Viktor rubs my shoulders for a moment. "Are you embarrassed because of your actions or because of who I am?"

I pull back in shock Nani? "Because of my actions. Why would you ask if I'm embarrassed of you?"

"I just want to make sure you're really okay with us. With me being a guy, with everything going on around us." He gives me a sad look.

I know Viktor is speaking low so the camera doesn't catch our conversation but I would feel better knowing they are off. "Yuuko-chan can we have the rink to ourselves for half an hour. Viktor and I need to talk."

Yuuko nods "Sure. Come on girls turn the cameras off and leave them by Yuuri's gear bag in the lobby."

"Okay, mom." The girls shout as they jump off the boards and head towards the lobby.

Yuuko skates over to us as Nishigori gets off the ice. "You guys take as long as you need. Come and get me if and when you need anything." And with that said she skates away and leaves the rink area.

I slide back a bit and grab Viktor's hands to pull him along with me. We skate in lazy laps around the rink in silence. I'm the first to speak. "Viktor, I want you to know I'm more than okay with us, with you being a guy. It's like a dream come true for me. I'm just afraid that I'll wake up one morning and find out this is a dream. That I'll either still be in Detroit before the GPF in Sochi or I'll here in Hasetsu trying to find a reason to keep skating all the while ignoring the skating world, my friends included."

Viktor gives me a small smile "You've dreamt of me in your life before?"

I feel my face flush as I nod. "Yeah, I have."

Viktor pulls me closer "What has happened in these dreams? Maybe I can make them come true too."

"Can I tell you later when we are in your room?" I mutter under my breath.

Viktor chuckles "Of course Moya Lyubov. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Thank goodness," I wipe my brow "Is there anything else you want me to work on or are we done for the day?"

"For the most part, we are done. I would like to skate around the rink with you before I send you off to the showers."

"Okay, that sounds like a plan." And for the next half hour, we skated as a pair, either holding hands, chest to chest, or my back to his chest. It was simple yet intimate. And I loved every second. Soon Viktor pulled me off the ice. I put on my blade guards and walked over to the bench to take them off. Once they were off and put away I looked up at Viktor staring at the ice. I wonder what he is thinking about. "I'm heading to the shower now. I'll be back soon."

Viktor turns and waves at me "Ok. I think I'm going to get some practice in myself for a few minutes."

"Alright," I call over my shoulder. I pass by Yuuko at the front counter. She smiles at me and waves me over. "Hey, thanks Yuuko-chan for the privacy."

"Don't mention it Yuuri. What are friends for. Did you and Viktor get it settled?"

"I think for now anyway. It will be a conversation to continue once we get home. No offense but an ice rink isn't the best place to sit down and talk."

"None taken. The video cameras are next to your bag, for when Viktor is ready to go over them."

"Thanks again. I'm going to shower before we leave. Viktor is going to get some practice in now. Can you keep the girls out of the way just in case he is working on new material for the next season?"

Yuuko pats my shoulder "No problem. Takeshi has them with him running errands for a few hours. So there is no chance of that. But regardless I'll make sure they don't bother Viktor if you'll are still here when they get back."

I smile as I walk away "Thanks Yuuko-chan." I wave over my shoulder as I walk into the locker room. I walk to the back of the room and choose a shower stall. I close the curtain behind me and strip, folding my clothes up and setting them in the covered cubby. I'm not as sweaty as usually, so I figure it's safe to change back into my workout clothes for now. The water is cold at first but as I mess with the knobs the water temperature warms up and becomes just the right amount of heat.

As I step under the shower head and feel the warm water cascading down my body, I begin to wonder how many of my dream should I tell him about? most of them require me to be ready for anal sex, which in dreams is one thing, but in reality is another. My mind wanders as I wash my body and the thoughts I'm thinking of are affecting my lower half.

good grief not in public I turn the hot water off and in a few moments, the cold water comes crashing over me, quickly dousing the flames of desire. I stand under the water a few more seconds before shutting it off completely and drip dry since I forgot to grab my towel. Once I'm just slightly damp, I get dressed and leave the locker room.

Yuuko has her back to me as I walk over to my bag. I grab out the towel and rub my hair with it as I walk to the rink once more. As I step through the doors, Viktor has just stepped off the ice when his phone rings.
