DISCLAIMER: If I owned Yuri on Ice I wouldn't be skint from spending all my money on merch. I'd just be able to get all the merch. Would be a happy day.

Day 4 – Cookies

"I can't believe you've never done this before!"

Viktor just smiled at Yuuri's surprised tone. "I told you before, I never really celebrated Christmas when I was a kid. Besides, Christmas cookies aren't a tradition in Russia."

Yuuri contemplated this for a few moments before smiling up at Viktor. "Well, they can become our tradition now if you'd like!"

Viktor felt himself melting at the happy face of the man he loved. Wrapping his arms around him and leaning down slightly he murmured in his ear, "I'd love that." Yuuri's entire face turned bright red but he couldn't stop smiling either.

Not wanting to embarrass Yuuri any further Viktor stepped next to Yuuri and looked down at the recipe book Hiroko had let them borrow. "So how do we do this?" Viktor asked.

"It's a fairly standard cookie recipe," Yuuri explained, "except it's got some spices in them to make them taste Christmassy. Other than that, it's just the shapes we bake them into. Mom let me borrow some cookie cutters too, so we've got a Christmas tree, a snowman and a Santa hat."

Viktor nodded and rolled his sleeves up. "Well then, let's get going! I doubt Axel, Lutz and Loop will forgive us if they come round and there's no cookies for them."

Yuuri chuckled in agreement before the two men got started on making the cookies.

After mixing the dough together Yuuri scooped out about a quarter of the mixture and put it into a separate bowl before beginning to roll out the rest of it to cut into shapes.

"What's that extra bit for?" Viktor asked, peering over Yuuri's shoulder.

Yuuri looked at the bowl before grinning up at Viktor. "It's for a snack while these are baking. What, you've never eaten raw cookie dough either?!"

Viktor's eyes widened. "You can eat the raw dough?!"

"Of course!" Yuuri laughed. He scooped a little out onto his finger and held it up to Viktor's mouth. "Here, try it!"

Viktor licked the dough from Yuuri's finger and his eyes began to sparkle even more. "Amazing!" he gasped before grabbing the bowl and spoon and cramming as much as possible into his mouth.

"Um, Viktor?" Yuuri said worriedly. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you eat too much of it at once you'll feel sick!"

"But it tastes so good!" Viktor protested with a mouthful of dough. "Besides, I've got a strong stomach. I'll be fine!"

"If you say so…" Yuuri murmured, not convinced.

As it turned out, Yuuri had good reason to be worried.

Usually when he had baked cookies before, Yuuri loved to leave all the doors in the house open while they were in the oven so the delicious smell could waft from room to room. But today he had shut the kitchen door tightly as even the mere smell was making Viktor feel even worse.

As Yuuri had predicted, the Russia skater with the supposedly "strong stomach" was now curled up on Yuuri's couch holding a pillow to his tummy, groaning and grumbling with his head on Yuuri's lap. Yuuri stroked his hair with one hand and rubbed his back with the other.

"I hate to say I told you so…" Yuuri sighed.

"You should've insisted harder," Viktor grumbled, pouting like a small child. "My stomach really hurts now."

Not only had Viktor eaten all of the dough that Yuuri had set aside as a snack, he'd also pinched parts of the rest of the dough when Yuuri hadn't been looking. Now it seemed like they would only just have enough cookies to satisfy the triplets, and they definitely wouldn't have enough to snack on some after dinner that night like Yuuri had hoped.

"Can I do anything to help you feel better?" Yuuri asked. "Or do you just want me to leave you alone?"

Viktor quickly shook his head. "No, you're not allowed to leave me alone. You have to look after me until I feel better since this is your fault."

Yuuri sighed heavily again at Viktor's childish attitude but he could stop himself from smiling. It wasn't often that Viktor let others take care of him, and although Yuuri wasn't happy that Viktor was in pain, he did enjoy feeling relied on by the person he loved. Too often it felt like Yuuri was always relying on Viktor, so to have it the other way around was somewhat refreshing.

A timer on Yuuri's phone began to ring, indicating that the cookies were ready.

"I need to go get the cookies out of the oven Viktor," Yuuri said softly, carefully lifting Viktor's head off his lap despite his moans of protest. "If I don't then they'll burn."

"Hmph…fine," Viktor scowled. "But you need to come straight back to keep looking after me once they're out."

"I will," Yuuri promised with a smiled before he disappeared into the kitchen, quickly closing the door behind him so the smell wouldn't upset Viktor.

Emerging a few minutes later Viktor was surprised to see Yuuri carrying a mug with steam coming out of it.

"I made you a hot cocoa," Yuuri said, placing the mug down on the coffee table in front of them before he sat back down next to Viktor. "I thought it might help you feel better."

Viktor locked eyes with Yuuri for a moment before he smiled, the two lovers pressing their foreheads together with their eyes closed as they often did.

"Thank you Yuuri," Viktor murmured softly.

It may have just been a small gesture on Yuuri's part, but Viktor appreciated it more than he could say. Just knowing that Yuuri care about him enough to do something like that to try and help already made Viktor feel much better.

Leaning his head on Yuuri's shoulder, Viktor sipped away at the hot cocoa, both of them enjoying the peace and quiet which they knew would soon be broken when Axel, Lutz and Loop arrived.
