When they came back from lunch, the busy rink was shockingly empty. Yuuri looked around in confusion before his gaze shifted to meet Victor's.
"Where did everyone go?" He mumbled as a small smile spread across his mate's face. "Victor, what did you do?"
"Well, I might have rented out the rink for an hour," Victor shrugged nonchalantly as he pulled the younger man over to the benches to put on their skates.
"You didn't…but don't your teammates need to practice? Aren't we interr-"
"It's okay, they all knew that the rink was closed today for an hour and are taking their lunch or focusing on other training right now. This actually happens more than you'd think because of classes and such that they have here."
"Okay…if you say so," Yuuri replied nervously as they laced up their skates. "Will you…stay close to me while we're out there? I haven't been on the ice since my fall and…" Victor nodded enthusiastically and leaned in to kiss his cheek.
"Of course! I'm just happy you want to try," He beamed at Yuuri and resumed tying the laces on his skates. Yuuri couldn't help the answering smile that broke out on his face.
"Me too…" The Omega responded as he finished with his skates and rose along with Victor, walking to the edge of the rink's entrance, and taking off their skate guards. Yuuri took a deep breath and stepped out on the ice.
I can do this! He told himself as he slid forward along the smooth, cold surface. The familiar feeling of peace that filled him on the ice wiped away any lingering fears from the injury he'd suffered before as he glided along and let the training and instinct from years of practice take the lead.

Victor followed at a careful distance behind his mate as the younger man let out a contented sigh and began to circle the rink and warm up his limbs, seemingly lost in his own little world. A delightful scent was emanating from Yuuri as he trailed the Omega, something that spoke of pure joy and happiness intertwined with the fragrance they now shared as a bonded pair.
He's stunning. Yuuri was made for this… Victor's brow furrowed. It's not fair! Just because he's an Omega!
Victor scowled in frustration at the injustice of it all as his mate started to run himself through some compulsory exercises, each turn and twist, every movement of his body spoke to the potential he had within him. Victor would've loved to compete against someone like Yuuri, someone with such drive, talent, and passion for the sport.
In the last couple of years, he'd slowly but surely become disillusioned with the skating world. He competed, because that's what he did for a living, but his excitement for the sport had been waning for a while. Seeing Yuuri on the ice brought things back into focus, just as it had that first night they'd met when he'd injured himself at Ice Castle in Hasetsu. Even out of practice as he was, Yuuri's graceful movements were unlike anything he'd seen in years. It set off a powerful longing inside Victor, a desire to see Yuuri comp-
"Wow! He's really good!" A voice muttered not far from him on the edge of the rink. Victor turned to look at the rink manager with a smile and closed the distance, shaking his hand.
"How are you Nick? Family well, I hope?" The Beta nodded and returned his smile.
"Yes, actually, we just found out this morning that Carlotta is due with our second," He proudly beamed at Victor, who chuckled and gave him a congratulatory pat on the back.
"That's wonderful! How exciting," The Alpha responded. "Oh, and I wanted to thank you again for letting me rent out the rink for an hour."
"No problem…it appears that the ice is being put to good use after all," Nick shrugged, a small smirk on his face. "The senior skaters can't hog it all the time."
"Ha, agreed," Victor replied as their eyes turned back to the ice, watching Yuuri try some single jumps, still lost in his own little bubble as he moved about the rink.
"Of course, your mate certainly skates almost as well as one," Nick murmured.
"He nearly was," Victor responded with a bitter smile. "Yuuri skated through Juniors before having to quit."
Before being forced to quit that is... Victor swallowed down the anger that threatened to boil over, not wanting it to taint Yuuri's joy out on the ice through their bond.
"That's unfortunate," Nick responded, unable to pry his gaze from the man on the ice, a thoughtful expression filling his visage. "Hmm, do you think he would considered teaching?" Victor's eyes widened at the suggestion as hope grew in his heart.
It would get him back on the ice more often… The Alpha thought with a smile.
"With Carlotta being pregnant, we need someone to pick up some of her group classes. The doc ordered her to take it easy," He turned to meet Victor's gaze with a smile. "So, do you think he'd be interested?"
"I'll ask him tonight, but for now…" The Alpha's eyes swung back to the ice to watch Yuuri as a rush of happiness from his mate spilled into him through their bond. "I'm just going to let him enjoy the moment."

Yuuri giggled excitedly as Victor nuzzled his neck under the fluorescent glare of the hallway. The younger man eagerly opened the door to the apartment, allowing them to slip inside, only to be pounced upon my Makka before they'd gone five feet.
"Makka! Oh, we missed you too!" The raven-haired male chuckled as he was knocked to the ground by the enthusiastic pup. Yuuri ruffled the soft, curling fur behind the poodle's ears affectionately, appeasing him for the moment before he went bounding off behind Victor to be fed.
"Ha…I see how it is, Makka! Following the food…is that all I am to you?" Yuuri smiled as he listened to Victor tease the dog now trailing closely after him. Makkachin simply wagged his tail obliviously. Yuuri quickly put their gear away in the front closet, grabbing Victor's practice clothes and taking them to the laundry room before heading to the kitchen to start on dinner.
"So…" Victor's arms wrapped around him from behind, kissing his bond mark gently as Yuuri peered into the refrigerator. "Can I just tell you again how good you looked out on the ice today?"
"Pfft…" Yuuri laughed and closed the fridge so he could turn in Victor's embrace, bringing his arms up to wrap around his neck. The Omega went up onto the balls of his feet to close the distance and press a kiss to his lips. He found himself wincing as his slightly sore limbs and feet protested.
"Are you okay?" Victor asked as they separated, seeing the discomfort in Yuuri's eyes as he stood flat again.
"Just a little sore…haven't been skating in a while, you know?" Yuuri shrugged.
Victor nodded in understanding, a mischievous glint suddenly filling his gaze.
"Victor!" Yuuri squeaked out as the Alpha hoisted him up into his arms. The younger man wrapped his legs tightly around Victor's waist, but quickly realized that he was in no danger of falling as his mate held him firmly against him.
"Mmm…" Victor let out a pleased hum, scenting Yuuri's throat as they entered the bathroom. He set the raven-haired male down on the edge of the tub before reaching to turn it on. "Let's soak together for a bit and order in food tonight, okay?"
"That sounds wonderful," Yuuri let out a happy sigh as Victor poured in some of the bath salts they'd brought with them from Hasetsu and the familiar fragrance of the hot springs faintly tinged the air.
"How about that Italian place I told you about?"
"Perfect," Yuuri smiled shyly, a blush coloring his face at Victor's doting behavior. As he watched the Alpha hurry from the room. He quickly removed his clothes and slid in the heated water, looking forward to when his mate returned, so he could show him just how much he appreciated his efforts.

"This is nice," Yuuri murmured as he leaned back against Victor's chest in the bath. The older man's hands ran up and down Yuuri's arms soothingly as he placed kisses along the Omega's shoulder.
"Agreed," Victor breathed out contentedly. The raven-haired male shifted slightly and felt Victor's length against his lower back, sending a rush of desire through his body, skin flushing with excitement.
Today was amazing...Victor was so sweet to arrange that. Yuuri had been worried that things were taking a turn for the worse when he'd nearly had a breakdown at the rink, but everything had turned out just fine in the end. He'd managed to talk himself down from the ledge faster than he'd expected after taking a moment alone in the bathroom.
So many memories… Yuuri smiled and circled his hips to press back against Victor, relishing the soft gasp that escaped his husband.
But I'll make new ones… He thought of how great it had felt to be out on the ice, to have Victor's support and encouragement.
Better ones… He turned in Victor's arms, gaze heavy lidded as he took in the sight of his mate before him, soaking wet and gorgeous. It sent a thrill through him every time he realized that this man was his.
Mine…

"How long until the food arrives?" Yuuri whispered with a playful expression on his face as he slid forward to straddle Victor's lap, brushing their hardening lengths together.
"Uh, a h-half hour? Forty-five minutes, maybe?" Victor choked out as Yuuri started to roll his hips, the Alpha's hands drifted downward to skim along Yuuri's waist, his thighs... "Yuuri…"
"We shouldn't waste anytime then, hmm?" The scent of his Omega's arousal filled the air, pheromones spilling from the glands at his throat as he let out a low moan.
Don't have to tell me twice. Victor decided as his hands moved to cup Yuuri's taut rear, pulling him impossibly closer as his mate took them both in his grip and began to stroke their soaked cocks together beneath the water.
"Fuck…Yuuri…yes, so good…" Victor's head fell back against the edge of the tub with a groan as he enjoyed the heavenly sensations. He gazed up at Yuuri and felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. He was just so intoxicating like this…dripping wet, panting, and moaning as he undulated in Victor's lap, stroking his-
"V-victor….hngh…ahhhh," Yuuri's hips bucked forward as the Alpha rubbed one of his fingertips against his furled entrance. "Yes…"
Victor slowly slid his finger inside, eliciting a needy whine from Yuuri that almost had him coming on the spot. He loved seeing Yuuri this way, losing himself completely in the moment.
"That's right, just like that Yuuri…so beautiful."
His mate's face burned brightly as he leaned forward to kiss Victor, limbs starting to tremble as he grew closer to climax. The Alpha pressed a second finger inside and that was all it took to push Yuuri over the edge as he let out a loud cry, hand faltering where it stroked them both as he came. Victor took over Yuuri's ministrations, seeing him through his orgasm. As his mate's cock throbbed against his own and his hole clenched and pulsed around his fingers, Victor found himself driven to his own completion as well.
"Victor…" Yuuri murmured breathlessly, capturing his mate's mouth once again in a searing kiss as the Alpha rode out the waves of pleasure coursing through his body. Victor let out a happy sigh as their lips parted and Yuuri rested his head on his chest.
"Wow," Victor finally mumbled, causing Yuuri to let out a quiet laugh.
"Hmm, yeah…that about sums it up," The Omega replied as his fingers drew patterns against Victor's wet skin and his eyes slid closed. The silver-haired skater glanced down as Yuuri's breathing became soft and steady, biting back a chuckle to avoid disturbing him.
Oh well, at least we've got a little time before the food gets here to-
*knock knock*
Crap!
"Yuuri? We have to get out, the food is here early," The younger man lifted his head to blink at him dazedly, eyes widening in realization of what Victor had just said.
"Crap!" Yuuri quickly rose and they climbed from the tub. Victor chuckled at how cute his Omega was as he rapidly dried himself and threw on a robe to head for the door.
The door… Victor hurried after him, quickly deciding that his mate was far too delectable to be answering doors wearing nothing but a robe.
"Yuuri, wait, I'll get it!" He called out as he chased after him.

"I wanted to get your opinion on something that Nick brought up while you were skating today," Yuuri glanced up from his plate and looked to Victor where he sat beside him on a stool at the kitchen island.
"Is everything okay? He wasn't mad that I was using the ice, was he?" He asked worriedly. Victor smiled and reached out to squeeze his hand reassuringly.
"Everything is fine and he wasn't mad. Far from it actually! Nick was quite impressed by your skating abilities and wanted to know if you were interested in taking over his wife's group classes while she's pregnant."
"Seriously?" Yuuri asked with excitement, that quickly faded from his eyes as he continued. "Is that even allowed? Umm, because I'm an Omega?" He asked, looking back to his plate, and taking a bite.
"Fortunately, no. Teaching is allowed…with a minor restriction or two," Yuuri peered back at him once more, gnawing on lip nervously.
"Like what?"
This was the part Victor had been dreading most, because he didn't agree with it at all.
"Like…uh, I'll have to be on the premises at all times when you teach. To, umm…take responsibility of you as your Alpha."
"But…won't that interfere with your own training?" Yuuri's gaze filled with concern. "I can't do that Victor."
"It'll be completely fine! There is nothing saying I'm required to watch you constantly, just be in the same building. I usually schedule my breaks around any classes they have anyway. Plus, remember that there's the gym and studio we have on site for skaters that I typically use to do my other training already. I'll just change from running outside to running on a treadmill there," Victor saw the excitement starting to build in Yuuri's expression again.
"So, it's kind of like that rule about Omega's not being able to compete without their Alpha monitoring them?" Victor nodded eagerly.
"Yes, it's exactly like-"
Oh my god… Victor's eyes widened in realization. That's might work! How could I forget about that ru-
"Victor?" Yuuri's voice gently pulled him back from the thoughts spinning around in his head.
"Yes, I'm sorry Yuuri, just thought of something I need to do," He smiled apologetically at his mate.
I'll look into this further before I say anything to him. Victor decided as he kissed the back of Yuuri's hand and a fierce determination filled him.
I'm going to make sure Yuuri has access to every opportunity that he could possibly desire.
