Prompt as title, yet again. Leave it to me to get non-angst out of an angsty prompt hehehe~ This is a 'deleted scene' from my canon-divergent Yuri On Ice fic, winter covers everything. Yuko and Takeshi date but don't marry; I "gave" Axel-Lutz-Loop to an OC because I couldn't possibly retcon them :D


On Takeshi's third weekend helping out with the triplets, he realizes he wants to kiss Satoko.

She kisses him first, on the cheek, and immediately apologizes. "You and Yuko are—"

"It's all right," he stammers, blushing a respectable distance away from her. "I… think I'm in love with you."

"Takeshi…" She leans on the counter, taking the weight off her brace leg. "If that's true, you shouldn't see me until you tell her."

"But—"

"I really like you." A bashful smile. "That's why we need this temporary goodbye."

"…Okay. You're right."

"Then… see you when you get back."
