Disclaimer: I do not own Yuuri! On Ice
Yuuri knew something was wrong when he heard a knock at his door at roughly 6 o'clock in the morning. Putting on his glasses he quickly rushed to his bed room door to find Phichit, Chris, and Minami standing there.
"Phichit is something wrong?" Yuuri asked the animals nervously.
"No," Phichit replied, "we wanted you on our snowball team."
"Snowball team?" Yuuri starched his head in confusion.
"It's a tradition we have," Minami said excitedly jumping up and down. "Every year we fight against each other is a giant snowball fight."
"And this year JJ's team claimed Victor," Phichit said upset, "I'm a hamster! I already has a big disadvantage!"
"Why haven't I heard of this?" Yuuri asked a bit upset about being left out.
"We didn't know if you would want to," Chris explained, "you were also already asleep when we went to see if you were interested."
"So will you do it?" Phichit pleaded.
"Sure I will," Yuuri answered smiling, "I'll see you later today."
"How about in an hour," Chris laughed slightly, "we want to get a head start on our fort."
"Got it, see you then."
For the rest of the hour, Yuuri prepared for the outside. He grabbed his thermals, warmest shirt along with pants, and put on his warmest jacket.
"There this should be good," Yuuri told himself once everything was on.
Walking down in the manor everything seemed normal until he reached the servants' quarters. It was very quiet. Yuuri soon realized why when he saw everyone else outside in the snow.
"Hi Yuuri," Victor greeted enthuisactsitly, "I'm glad you decided to join us today. Come stand next to me!"
"Sorry Victor I already promised to be on their team," Yuuri pointed to the others where Phichit tried to stick his tounge out but no one saw.
"That's not fair!" JJ agrued, "Yuuri wasn't hear when we picked teams this morning."
"That doesn't mean he can't play!" Chris defended.
"Well he should watch on the sidleines because this is,"
"Can I switch sides?!" Yurio hissed very angry. Yuuri turned and noticed Otabek was on Phichit's team as well.
"No Yurio that's against the rules."
"Не могу поверить, что снова застрял в этой команде!" Yurio reluctantly went back behind the currently still under construction fort.
"Yuuri could you help build the fort?" Chris requested, to which Yuuri nodded in response.
Quickly Yuuri kneeled down and started building the fort. Thankfully the snow was easily to manipulate into what the user wanted pretty easly.
"We need more tunnels," Phichit said popping his head out of the fort.
"Tunnels?" Yuuri asked puzzled.
"Not this again Phichit," Otabek said rolling a snow ball with his snout.
"You see," Phichit explained, "due to my small size I hide more in the frot then actually throw."
"Wait how do most of you throw snowballs?" Yuuri asked realizing this flaw.
"With these," Chris rolled up a small catapult.
"That does work." Yuuri said after examining it.
"Even with the catapults my small size prevents from using them" Phichit jumped back into the snow fort.
"Ignore him," Chris said to Yuuri, "Phichit is always like that. He's never been a fan of his small size."
"Okay I will." Yuuri said mentally making a note of this fact.
"Alright everyone ready?" JJ announced as everyone else proceeded to move into postion. "Then let the war begin!"
Soon the snowballs began flying everywhere. Everyone sans Phichit was involved in the fight. Each team seemed to have a couple of catapults at their disposals. The teams were also divided into three parts, the snowball makers, the catapult users, and wall rebuilders. Due to his apposable thumbs and quicker reacting time Yuuri was put as a wall rebuilder.
"Phichit get out here!" Chris ordered yelling into one of tunnels the hamster have dug throughout the course of the fight. "Yuuri if any tunnels are left exposed please fill them up."
"Hey Chris," JJ taunted from his side, "that's not very Italian of you, aren't you guys supposed to be nice."
"One I'm Swiss. Second isn't niceness your Canadian stereotype." At that moment Chris did a pose place his paw near his lips and puckering his lips. Unfortunately for the Persian the fox decided to hop down from the fort and when the Persian noticed he started to look only for the fox only for a snowball to hit him square in the face. Unlike Yurio who would hiss very loudly. Chris jumped down gracefully and returned the favor.
With all this going on Yuuri stuck to his job. He honestly was really glad to be a part of this. In his childhood he was never really invited to these thing, mostly because of his anxiety he would often refuse or panic during the actual fight, it would help him when Yuuko and Takeshi were with him. It at least gave him people he could easily talk to.
"So anyone has any new ideas?" Minako said to the team, only for everyone to shake heads in response.
"Hey who blocked up my tunnels?" Phichit yelled angrily only to release he fell into a trap. "Oops."
At lighting speed the hamster disappeared back into the fort before anyone could react to his appearance.
"I almost had him." Chris sulked into the snow and attempted to bury himself in it. "Dah freezing!"
"It's snow of course it's cold."
Yuuri laughed at the antics of the servant's. He really wished he was able to experience this growing up in Hasetu. This is what he wanted most in his life.
"Hey Victor," Yuuri called giving a slight devious smile.
"Yes Yuuri," Victor said before Yuuri tossed a snowball at his face. "Hey"
Yuuri fell back in the snow laughing and tried to say, "sorry I wasn't aiming for your, for your, FACE!"
"Oh you are so going to get it!" Victor said jumping over the fort.
Still laughing Yuuri managed to get to his feet before running away with Victor closely behind him. Not sure where the silver beast was and fear for surprise attack, Yuuri started running backwards.
"Ha got you!" Victor announced preparing to attack.
Yuuri tried to run away but soon tripped over his feet nervously. At that moment Victor pounced on him. The two found themselves falling together and before they knew it their lips touched in a kiss. It only lasted for the second and the two friends stared at each other for a minute.
"Did we just?" Yuuri asked as Victor nodded, "oh I'm sorry."
"Don't be Yuuri it was an accident." Victor smiled sitting up.
"Well that was my first kiss," Yuuri admitted with a laugh.
"Glad I was able to take it," Victor thought to himself.
"Are you guys alright?" Isabella asked hopping to where they were.
"We're alright," Yuuri answered standing up, "I just fell down."
"Okay the fighting in the teams got out of hand a bit so most of us are going inside."
"Want to go inside?" Yuuri nodded and followed Victor inside. As they walked in Yuuri couldn't help but notice a strange feeling on his lips.
AN: And done. Honestly I could have ended it with the kiss but that would be to chiche. Besides it was a second and yes a reference to episode 7. I just couldn't resist. I hope my explanation for how the fight works make sense. Glad everyone is enjoying see you next chapter!
