Tuesday

Yuri grabs his breakfast and runs out the door, heading towards where Viktor should be waiting for him. He had been thinking about his Russian boyfriend the whole night last night, and all he was anticipating was the meet-up at the beach today. Yuri Katsuki runs as fast as his legs allow him to, and he reaches the beach quicker than he thought he would. When he sees a tall man with silver-hair, he rushes even more. "VIKTOR!" he shouts, waving and smiling.

Viktor laughs and waves back. Once the both of them are arms-reach away, Yuri jumps and Viktor grabs hold of his waist, lifting him up and spinning him in a circle. "Yuri!" He lets Yuri down onto the sand and whispers, "I missed you so much last night."

The Japanese freshman laughs softly and replies, "Not as much as I missed you."

"I bet you you're wrong."

Playfully glaring, Yuri kicks sand at him and dashes off to the edge of the water. Viktor runs after him and quickly sweeps Yuri off of his feet, carrying him as if he himself were the groom and Yuri was the bride. "I love you…" he lovingly murmurs into Yuri's ear, who smiles in return.

Yuri and Viktor walk together, fingers intertwined with each others. "I feel like Juliet." says Yuri. "...And you're Romeo."

Viktor chuckles and bumps hips with Yuri. "Only we have a happy ending." His boyfriend immediately burns red. "...Do you want me to visit you every day, here on the beach?" Viktor asks.

Yuri hums to himself as he thinks. "...No. My mom will get suspicious. You don't even know how much I had to cover up just to come here."

"Hm." Viktor looks up at the clouds in the sky, and then his face brightens once an idea comes to mind. "We could meet somewhere new every day, and sometimes we can have sleepovers, or I could come visit you secretly at night, or-"

Yuri's laughter interrupts his boyfriend's speech. "Sounds great, Viktor. Only, I forgot to tell you that Mom took away my phone."

He gawks at Yuri and immediately groans afterwards. "Whyyyyyyy?!"

Yuri shrugs and mumbles, "She's just really paranoid."

"...Shit…" Viktor mutters under his breath. "Are you okay with doing it the old-fashioned way?!"

Yuri giggles. "You mean sending handwritten letters to each other?"

"Yeah!"

The freshman shakes his head with a wide grin spread across his face. "You're funny, Viktor."

Russian senior Viktor Nikiforov looks incredibly shocked. "What's so bad about using the letter system?!"

"It's just funny." Yuri smiles warmly up at Viktor. "How would we get them to each other anyways?"

"Uhmmm… The mailman?"

"And that would arrive how soon at our houses?"

"About a day or two."

"Exactly." Yuri says, kicking up sand into the air as they stroll around on the beach. "It's a bit inconvenient for time."

Viktor moans in utter disappointment. "Come on."

"Do you have a roof?" Yuri asks, a glint shining in his eye.

"Is that even a question?! YES!"

Yuri Katsuki smugly grins. "Do you have binoculars?"

Viktor spews out laughter and nearly chokes on his spit. "And you thought my plan was ridiculous!"

"I was being sarcastic, Viktor!"

His boyfriend teasingly uses his hands to imitate binoculars and puts them in front of his eyes. "Low-key Stalking 101. Note: Use a roof to successfully keep an eye on your special someone."

Yuri lightly punches Viktor in the shoulder and changes the topic. "It's too bad that Yutopia is the only place with hot springs in Hasetsu."

"I agree!" Viktor responds, pouting. "I could really go for another soak."

"Do you want to go and-"

"Heyyyy, lovebirds." The couple frantically looks up to see Jean-Jacques Leroy with his girlfriend Isabella Yang flirtatiously hanging over his shoulder. The Canadian man chuckles and raises an eyebrow. "No need to freak out…! It's just me and Is." His Asian girlfriend giggles and playfully pinches his cheek. Ouch, that couldn't have felt good.

"G-great weather for the beach, isn't it?" Viktor stammers, trying his hardest to act like his usual self.

Completely ignoring what Viktor said, JJ bluntly asks, "When did you guys start dating?" Way to get straight to the point.

Yuri awkwardly chuckles and mumbles, "About a week or two ago…"

Jean-Jacques looks Yuri up and down for a moment, the mysterious smirk on his face slightly worrying Isabella Yang. "I have to admit… I knew Viktor would end up dating a man sometime in his life…"

Viktor looks totally shocked, almost embarrassed that it was so obvious.

"However…" he continues. "I never would have guessed you'd be interested in somebody like Yuri Katsuki."

"You two are so cute~" Isabella chants. She leans forward to tap the tip of Viktor's nose with her delicate, fake fingernail. The Russian man dodges it and forces a smile.

"Well, we should be off now." Viktor says for Yuri, reading his inner begging. JJ nods them off and continues to head to the water to swim with his model-worthy girlfriend.

Yuri lets out a heavy breath right as they're about ten feet from Jean and Isabella.

He's so cute, Viktor thinks, the edge of his lip curling up in amusement. "How about I bring you someplace?" he says to Yuri.

Viktor's boyfriend smiles. "And where would that be?"

He shrugs. "Somewhere fun."

"How vague."


Viktor promenades into the little shop, snapping his fingers and singing "Ice, Ice, Baby" at the top of his lungs. Yuri struggles to keep in his laughter. "Ice cream~!" he suddenly chants, excitedly clapping his hands. "Ice cream is next to Pork Cutlet Bowl on my favorites list!"

Viktor smirks and sinks a hand into Yuri's as they walk up to the front counter. "There're so many types here… Which one are you getting, Yuri?"

"I was thinking strawberry."

The Russian man looks pleasantly shocked at hearing this. "Strawberry? I thought for sure you'd choose Nutella!"

Yuri is utterly bemused. "Nutella…"

Viktor [EXE] has stopped working.

A moment later, it seems to click. "Riiiiight!" Viktor responds. "I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about your hazelnut allergy!" He tries to make it up by smothering Yuri with kisses, but the Japanese man squirms out, giggling and telling him in a hushed voice: "We should probably order before the employees murder us for unwanted noise and PDA!"

Immediately Viktor turns to the person at the counter who, as Yuri said, is so done with everything. "Yes," he clears his throat. "Three scoops of strawberry ice cream. And in a bowl, please. Also, three scoops of mint chocolate chip in a bowl. Thank you."

Once the employee leaves to prepare the ice cream, Yuri whips around with a crazed expression on his face. "Three scoops?! That alone is enough to feed all of China!"

"In that case," Viktor answers, a sparkle suddenly coming to life in his eye, "Why don't we try?"

Yuri rolls his eyes and chuckles. "If you had to feed China off of ice cream, you'd be living in a box before you'd know it." Viktor teasingly smacks his arm. "Hey!"

"Your orders." the employee at the counter cuts in. Before him on the counter-top are two gorgeous bowls with three flawless scoops within. "That'd be 520 yen."


"This. Is. HEAVEN." Yuri mumbles contently, putting another spoonful of strawberry ice cream into his mouth. The two men are sprawled up on a large hill, under a large tree, observing the town while eating their ice cream.

Viktor glances over at his boyfriend with a smile. "But to spend one day with you, Yuri, is heaven itself."
