DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yuri on Ice. In other news if Otabek and Yurio isn't at least semi-canon by the end of the series I am going to cry.

Day 5 – Snowflakes

Yuuri sat curled up on the couch next to the window, staring out at the snowflakes slowly fluttering down from the grey sky. Yuuri loved the snow. He'd grown up used to it snowing every winter so it wasn't a big event for him, but that didn't mean he enjoyed it any less. The snow was beautiful to Yuuri; it was so clean and pure, and yet it could be dangerous. Something about that drew Yuuri in and he could get lost for hours just watching the snowflakes fall to the ground.

It had been a busy and stressful few weeks for Yuuri; he'd been training every single day as well as getting his things sorted for moving in with Viktor and buying Christmas presents for everyone, so this had been the first opportunity he'd had to relax in what felt like forever. As soon as he'd noticed it starting to snow he had bolted to the kitchen, made himself a hot chocolate and plopped himself down at the window, deciding there and then to allow himself to completely zone out.

Tightening his grip on the mug of hot chocolate so he could warm his hands up a bit, Yuuri took a sip, his nose accidently bumping one of the marshmallows he'd added to his treat. Viktor had him on a strict diet to prepare for next season's Grand Prix so he hoped if he walked in right now Viktor wouldn't scold him.

Yuuri completely lost track of time watching the snow fall as he felt every muscle in his body relax, almost like he was sinking into the couch. The snowflakes dancing down were almost hypnotic, and Yuuri felt like he would quite happily stay here forever.

And then that peace and quiet was shattered by Viktor bursting into the room wearing only a pair of white and red underpants.

"Hello my little katsudon!" Viktor grinned, beginning to strike numerous poses in what Yuuri realised were Viktor's Santa Claus underpants.

"…Viktor, why?" Yuuri asked simply, no longer all that embarrassed by Viktor's escapades but just wondering what had triggered this one.

"Well…" Viktor said as he slowly turned around so Yuuri could get a full view of the words "Ho Ho Ho" printed on the back of the underpants, "I saw a Santa in a shop today giving presents out to a bunch of kids and it got me thinking." Viktor slowly walked over, making sure Yuuri's eyes stayed on him the entire time as he sat down next to him on the couch and leaned in very close to his ear. "…Do you want to sit on my lap?"

A few years ago, Yuuri would have been absolutely mortified at this situation and would have probably thrown himself out of the window rather than answer Viktor. As it was Yuuri managed – with great difficulty – to keep a straight face. "Just one question Viktor."

"And what's that?" Viktor asked softly.

"…Where are the antlers I bought you?"

Viktor leaned back to look at Yuuri properly and frowned. "…Huh?"

Yuuri was barely holding back the laughter now. "You know…the reindeer antlers I got you! You look so cute in them but you're only wearing those underpants. If you had the antlers on maybe I would sit on your lap!"

Viktor looked like he was genuinely about to run out the room to find the antlers but when Yuuri couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing Viktor just sighed heavily. "Were you just teasing me?" he pouted.

"Well you were teasing me!" Yuuri replied, still giggling. "I love you Viktor, but you look ridiculous. How can I take you seriously when it says 'Ho Ho Ho' on your butt?!"

Now it was Viktor's turn to laugh. "I guess you have a point there," he grinned before wrapping his arms around Yuuri's shoulders. "Anyway, what were you doing?"

"Just watching the snow," Yuuri smiled. "It relaxes me."

"Mmm…" Viktor murmured, watching out the window at the white flakes. "I can see why… It's beautiful. Maybe I could join you?"

Yuuri looked back round at Viktor and watched him as his eyes followed the snowflakes, a small yet peaceful smile on his face. Yuuri felt his heart start to speed up as he now allowed his eyes to roam all over Viktor's body. These where the moments when Yuuri now felt flustered around Viktor; not when he was being flirty or trying to embarrass Yuuri, but just in these quiet moments when Yuuri realised just how much he loved this man.

Gently taking hold of Viktor's chin, Yuuri moved his lover's face so their eyes locked again.

"Maybe…we could watch the snow together later," Yuuri murmured softly. "I can think of something else I'd rather we were doing right now."

Viktor raised an eyebrow but didn't react other than that. "Really? Even after what I just did?"

Yuuri smirked slightly. "Well, only having those on means there's less clothes for me to take off."

Viktor let out a small moan at that before smiling back. "Yuuri…you really are my eros."

Viktor brought their lips together and pushed Yuuri right down onto the couch. Yuuri's mug of hot chocolate now rested on the floor, forgotten about, and was stone cold by the time the two men went back to watching the snowflakes dancing.

AN: I've never written Yuuri taking charge before; what did you think?

Again, thank you for reading and please leave a review! See you all tomorrow!
