A/N: Hello, people!
I don't own Yuri! on Ice.
I have no beta.
ENJOY!
CHECK ME OUT ON TUMBLR. HELLY-WATERMELONSMELLINFELLON. I FOLLOW BACK.
-I don't know how, but some of you
have still missed the fact that this
was posted on AO3 already. Stop
leaving me dumb reviews over it.
The answer is right here. Yes, it's
posted on another website and I
wouldn't post it here until it was
finished. JFC.
"So this clown's name is Yuri too?"
Yuuri didn't really know how to react to Yuri Plisetsky. The teen had certainly made history already, but his career wasn't one that Yuuri felt pressed to pay attention to. He knew enough to get by if he was asked anything, but in reality, he focused more on the older skaters. The kid hadn't done anything specifically amazing or of note. Sure, he had skill, but he wasn't a legend.
One thing he did know was that Yuri Plisetsky had a foul mouth and was generally unpleasant to everyone in his life, save for his grandfather. So when he was faced with the teen's gruff attitude in person, he wasn't exactly sure how to react. Thankfully, Victor was right beside him in the booth, so he didn't have to say anything. Though maybe that wasn't a good thing considering...
"Yurachka, there's no need to be rude," Victor said, voice chastising and mouth turned down in a frown.
The blond scoffed. "There's no need for me to be nice either. I'm not required to be decent. Give me a reason to be and I will be."
Victor's entire countenance turned hard then, and whatever he snapped in Russian, had the teen straightening out and then slumping over their table. It also drew the attention of the other diners. Mila, Victor's rinkmate and currently third best Senior Ladies skater in the world, whistled and elbowed the teen in the side. Her smirk gave away that Yuri had been taunted with something that the other Russians found to be amusing.
Probably a punishment of some sort.
"It's fine," Yuuri tried to caution, not really caring about what a teen had to say about him. "It's not a big deal. Leave him alone." He was only a teen after all. There was no need to get snippy with a seventeen year old.
Victor blinked and then pouted. "I was just defending your honor, Yuuri."
"And while I appreciate that, he didn't actually insult me in the least, so there's no reason to be mean to him. This is supposed to be a nice and relaxing dinner and the only person to raise their voice here and cause a scene, has been you."
Phichit released an extended 'Oh' sound, snickering into the screen of his mobile. Mila didn't hold back as she cackled her glee for the entire restaurant to hear. And Yuri Plisetsky simply blinked in quiet astonishment at Yuuri's boldness.
And Yuuri… wanted to die!
He had just scolded his idol! The man he had looked up to his entire life! He'd just gone in there without even stopping to think about his actions and scolded Victor Nikiforov like he had the right to do so! And for some unknown reason, everyone seemed to find it hilarious!
Victor was actually laughing! Yuuri couldn't tell if it was because he was amused that Yuuri would dare think himself important enough to scold anyone, of for another reason altogether.
His heart might have skipped a beat or twelve. Victor had an attractive smile and whether he was laughing at Yuuri's expense or not, it didn't stop Yuuri from squealing internally at how beautiful the man was.
"You have to be the most unique person I've ever met, Katsuki Yuuri. Don't ever change."
It was fine. Victor wasn't angry at him nor was he making fun of him. He thought Yuuri was 'unique' and wanted to him to be himself.
Yuuri actively avoided Phichit and his mobile. He didn't want anything to ruin the warm feeling in his gut.
It was too nice to destroy.
And as he was probably going to be with Victor for the remainder of the convention, he wasn't going to have their time together torn apart by bad attitudes and his own anxiety.

{Yeah most 12 episode anime don't take too long to make.}

{But that doesn't mean everything is finished or good enough for Yuuri's standards. 2/2}

{Merde. #OnICE}
So the process of making an anime was time-consuming. If there was one thing that Yuuri could be grateful for, it was that MAPPI was actually very well known studio and had many workers. Many, many people who would be working on the creation on On ICE! the anime.
If the game hadn't been so popular, they probably wouldn't have been given enough to work with, but On ICE! had brought in a lot of money in only the few months it had been in the social market. They could actually afford a large team of creators.
And the best thing in his opinion, was the fact that they would just be using the soundtrack from the game, meaning they didn't have to worry about creating new music.
The soundtrack that had reached third on Billboard's Top Album Sales within its first week of sales. It had been on the top of the particular chart since, going for more than twenty weeks if he was correct. Specific songs from the soundtrack had gained popularity as well, reaching top ten on many other charts.
Each episode of the anime was supposed to be twenty-five minutes long each. Maruyama TV had finally come to an agreement over it, back in September. It would afford two time slots for advertisements, and also give the anime itself more time to fit in all that was needed.
He hadn't realized how much work went into the making of a twelve episode anime, but in the end he felt it was worth it.
He'd spent years learning how to use specific technology and software in order to make his video game the best it could possibly be. And now he was working on an anime.
Came from the bottom and now he was here.
Midnight was a good time to air an anime centered on sports/adventure with suggestive themes, right?
"You can dance?"
Victor was beaming as he shifted his mobile to his other shoulder so he could change his position on the chair. "Of course I can! I cross trained in ballet for many years and it helped with my balance. I pick up dance styles pretty easily."
"Me too. I took ballet before I started skating and I train in that more frequently than I skate."
Yuuri was a dancer. It explained why his ass and thighs were sublime. And they looked far too good in those tailored trousers of his.
Of course Yuuri knew nothing about tailoring and Victor had learned that it was Phichit who had control over what Yuuri wore. Yuuri didn't care about clothes so long as they fit, which meant that he didn't put up a fight when his best friend took over.
Phichit was the one who made sure that Yuuri's clothes looked that good. Phichit was devious. Victor loved him for it. He needed to get the Thai skater something nice because that much foresight deserved rewarding.
"I love dancing," said Yuuri, bringing Victor back to the topic at hand. "I've dabbled in various dance styles over the years to keep myself fit. As Minako-sensei has always said, I'm rhythmic."
"What kind of dance can you do?"
"Ballet, obviously. Contemporary. Any Ballroom. Break-dancing took some more work than I had expected, but I'm good at that too."
Victor couldn't help but whistle, impressed. He'd never been able to pick that up, but it was probably because his upper body muscles weren't as strong as his lower body muscles. He was aware of the training dancers had to do, and he'd never had to go to those specific lengths.
If he had done pair skating, then lifts would have required him to build more muscles up top, but he'd preferred being solo on the ice, so the attention was only on him for that short amount of time.
"AndIcanadngpoldncexzsd."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I said that I can poldnce," came the muffled reply once more.
"I'm not picking up on that."
"POLE DANCE!" Yuuri screamed into the mobile, nearly deafening him in the process. But… it could be excused because Victor's mind had blanked at that thought.
Yuuri said that he could pole dance. As in climbing and spinning and moving around a pole in a suggestive manner.
Victor had been friends with Chris for many years and had personally witnessed Chris' training and performances. He knew some of what went into that particular style of dance and to think of Yuuri in such a situation.
Victor had a minor - or major depending on who was asked - crush on Yuuri. He absolutely admired the man's ass and thighs, and now this little bombshell was dropped on him suddenly. He had to pause On ICE! so he didn't waste any in-game time. He needed to breathe.
He cleared his throat twice just to be sure, before asking, "Are you any good?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," Yuuri murmured teasingly, voice almost like a purr, which was rare for him. In the time they had known each other, Victor had never heard him speak in such a way, and it made his body warm all over.
"I really would," admitted Victor, throat almost too tight for comfort.
Yuuri hummed. "Maybe you'll get to see it one day."
Damn.
Okay, no more On ICE! for the evening. He had other things to take care of.
But he made sure to save before shutting everything down. He wasn't that so far gone in lust that he forgot his progress.
How did he handle himself without Yuuri knowing? That was the million ruble question.
"I have to go, Victor. Phichit needs my help with something."
YES!
"Okay," said Victor, hoping he sounded at the very least, sad.
"I'll call you tomorrow? If that's okay with you?"
Victor was quick to shoot the hesitancy in the man's voice, down. He would not want Yuuri to be scared of contacting him. Yuuri's calls were the highlight of his evenings.
"Please call me whenever. I don't care if I'm sleeping or not. I love talking to you."
A few seconds of silence made him worry that he might have been a little too forward with his interest. But then Yuuri responded with a sighed 'okay' and he knew that everything was fine.
Once he was certain his mobile was off for the foreseeable future, Victor headed for the washroom.
He knew he shouldn't have worn underwear.
"Bruh, we have finally hit gold! This is the best idea, I swear!"
Yuuri flushed at Phichit's insistent grin. He hadn't been too certain about it, especially since he didn't know how well it would be received by the fans, but at the same time, it seemed like a nice idea.
"You don't think it's pandering too much, do you?" He didn't want to go overboard with the planning ahead after all.
"Nah! It's great! Especially since all the shippers will be super happy about it!"
On ICE! had given birth to several dozen 'ships'. AKA, relationships or pairings of the vast cast of characters.
The OTP(One True Pairing) seemed to be Yutsuru. Followed by Claurin, Phanz, Zhiwa, Racquina, Lillit, Soosh, and Ayeshiel. They were the most popular, and most of them being same sex couples.
In an endeavor to reach all the fans and their interests, Yuuri had pitched this particular idea to his friend of many years, in hopes of getting a good opinion on whether it would be good or not. After all, Phichit understood the inner workings of a fan's mind better than Yuuri did. His insight would be invaluable.
Yuuri had only fanned over one person. Not a game, or a film or show. So he wasn't too sure if his idea was ridiculous or not.
"Dude, you have twenty-four characters, which means a lot of ships to work with. And some get swept under the rug because they aren't popular or 'natural'. You could even make it a kind of alternate universe if you want. Just so everyone's OTP get's something in the end without negative repercussions because of conflicting ages."
AU was probably the best idea ever and Yuuri owed Phichit so much for it!
"Now… booklets or manga. That's the important question."

"Yuuri, you've done so well!"
The man flushed at the praise of his ballet instructor. He fidgeted, uncomfortable but trying to keep his voice steady. "And you're fine with it?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"I didn't take up dancing, so you wasted your time."
"Yuuri, you are the best student I ever had. You took everything in and you gave it your all. I didn't need you to become a world renowned dancer just so I could be proud of you. I needed you to find confidence in yourself to be who you are. And you finally have. How could I not be proud of that?"
He couldn't hold back a sigh of relief. He'd always wondered if he'd been a disappointment because he'd had the talent, but he hadn't done much with it beyond lessons and classes. He'd always wondered if she'd been unhappy with his decision to not go into the arts.
"And what's best out of all of it is that you've landed your long time idol!" Minako went on to say. "Do you realize how incredible that is? Through your own amazing work, you've managed to draw Victor Nikiforov to you. And he really likes you! He brags about you on Instagram and announces when he's going to be offline because he'll be talking to you! Yuuri, you've accomplished so much that not many will ever get a chance to. Of course I'm proud!"
She sounded pleased and amazed, and he was right there along with her. He didn't know how he did it, but apparently, Victor really did like him. More than life if when Minako and Phichit had to say, was true.
"You'll have to bring him home to introduce him to your family. You can show him your old room and the collage of posters of him on your walls!"
"Sensei!" he chastised in a whisper, hoping Phichit hadn't hear her through the mobile.
She was laughing though. "I can't wait to meet him and give him the shovel talk."
"Sensei!" whined Yuuri, completely mortified by how quick she was to assume.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine so long as he takes care of you. Now go call him up. It's about that time where you're flirting on the phone for ten hours. And don't be a stranger just because you've become a big shot game maker, okay?"
"Thank you, sensei."
"My little Yuu-chan is all grown up and dating his idol! I can't wait to tell Hiroko-chi!"
Yuuri stared dumbfounded at his mobile until the screen went black.
He and Victor weren't even dating yet!
Yet.
A/N: Another is done!
