Pandora here with today's prompt 'metal'. In the first part of this, Yuri is 18 and JJ is 21 and in the second part Yuri is 41 and JJ is 44.
JJ's insides are already bubbling with excitement by the time the plane touches down in St Petersburg. He might be here for a competition, along with other skaters and his parents as coaches, but he's been looking forward to more than just getting his next gold. There's a pair of beautiful sea-green eyes and a mop of soft blond hair that he can't wait to see in person again.
The walk from the plane seems to take forever, and the wait for his case more so, especially with his phone buzzing near-constantly with impatient messages, but he eventually gets to arrivals and his eyes immediately zero in on Yuri in the crowd. When he finally gets around the barriers and bends a little to hug Yuri around his small waist, lifting him up just a little so he stands on his toes, everything feels right – especially when he inhales and smells the familiar scent that is only Yuri. When they pull reluctantly apart, Yuri is smiling up at him, eyes bright, but then he looks confused. He reaches up and runs a finger over JJ's earlobe.
"What the hell is this?" he asks and JJ smirks.
"An earring," he replies, his own fingers touching the simple metal stud. "You like it kitten?"
Yuri snorts. "It's tragic beyond words, even for you."
"So cruel, kitten," laughs JJ. "You really hate it that much?"
"No," admits Yuri with a shake of his head, "but I'm delighted to have even more reasons to make fun of you, you ridiculous shithead."
JJ chuckles and takes one of Yuri's hands, lacing their fingers together. "Come on, let's go."
"Aye aye, Cap'n," sniggers Yuri as they head towards the exit, JJ rolling his eyes.
"Pirate jokes, really?"
Yuri looks smug. "You brought this upon yourself."
Done with shaving, JJ rinses his face and rubs in aftershave, his fingers brushing absently over the earring in one ear. He straightens and runs a comb through his dark hair, and sees Yuri come in behind him. He thinks his husband is going to start brushing his teeth, but then pale arms wrap around his chest from behind and pull them flush against one another, bare skin warm and familiar. Yuri's head comes to rest on JJ's shoulder and their eyes meet, green and blue, in the mirror.
"You're so sexy," grins Yuri, and he looks practically triumphant, turning his head so he can bite JJ on the earlobe, right next to the earring. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," says JJ, turning so he can bring their lips together and thanking every power that exists for the beautiful man in his arms.
So, this is the last chapter of this project! We hope you have all enjoyed reading these as much as we have enjoyed writing them!
