Pandora here with prompt 4: first kiss. Context for this one is given within the text.
JJ's first kiss is at thirteen, with Marlène Baudin, a girl who lives around the corner from the rink where he trains with his family. He's noticed her there almost every day, her steady gaze following his progress around the ice, and the attention – the wide-eyed wonder – makes him flub his jump and earns him a yell from his father to pay attention. JJ gets right back into it, nailing his combination, and flashes a smile at her that brings pink into her cheeks. After practice he goes to find her, and they talk a little and exchange that one, chaste kiss, but JJ knows none of this can last. On the flight to Australia a few days later, he brushes his thumb over his lips and wonders if he'll ever see her again.
Yuri's first kiss comes just after his Grand Prix Final win in Barcelona. He and Otabek, giddy and laughing, slip away during the party being held in the hotel and go find themselves an alcove in which to hide. They loosen their ties and undo their top buttons, enjoying each other's company, easy chatter filling the space between them. Sitting together like that on the sofa, the kiss happens about as naturally as kisses ever do, the warm press of lips on lips feeling right at the time, but then they pull away from each other and both frown.
"That was..."
"Weird, yeah."
"Let's just... be friends?"
"Please."
Yuri and JJ's first kiss is brief and devastating, just before Yuri's seventeenth birthday.
Yuri will maintain for a while that it was only ever adrenaline that made him grab JJ and kiss him like that, but at quiet times of the early morning when he can't sleep he'll remember how much he wanted to do it and wonder what might have happened if he hadn't run away right after.
