He's so small!!!

I've discovered that he loves daisies, he has found a bunch of them to decorate the roots of the tree our house is today.

a well earned nap.

Still no hints of his piggy family, i've told Axel and Olivia all about it when they visited to hang out. They told me the butcher of that side of town did have fresh pork-chop even though is out of season :|

Let's hope is not them, poor little guy :(

Burr rolled his eyes, a chuckle escaping him as he watched Hamilton stumble on the ice. He had proposed ice skating for their date, and Alexander had shyly admitted that he had never skated before. Aaron had been more than willing to teach.

With swift strides, he made his way onto the frozen lake, stopping next to Alexander, who looked at him, mouth open with astonishment.

“What— how do you do that? I can barely stand!” Alex asked, a smile on his face. Then, as if to prove his words, he lost his balance, falling into Aaron’s arms, who catched him easily.

“A lot of practice. I’ve also been doing this since I was like four, so…,” Aaron trailed off as he helped Alexander back up. The other hit him playfully.

“How do you even move on these?” Alexander’s focus drifted back to the task at hand as he looked down at his skates. “It’s like— I don’t know, it’s like I was just born? Do babies feel like this all the time?”

Aaron laughed, causing Alex to shoot him an exasperated look. Gently, Aaron grabbed his hands, starting to skate backwards, his pace slow. “Just follow me.”

Alexander staggered a little at first, but he soon got the hang of it, smiling as his boyfriend guided him. Aaron felt his heart melt. He would give anything for that smile, anyday, anywhere, anytime.

“You think you can try to do it alone?” Aaron asked, and Alexander nodded. Aaron let go and watched from the side as Alexander took a few small steps before picking up the speed. Soon he was nearly flying across the ice, as if he was the one who had had years of skating experience.

Aaron tilted his head as his gaze followed Alexander, endearment evident in his eyes. The sun shone down, illuminating Alexander in a warm light.

Perhaps it was the admiring that distracted him, but next thing Aaron knew, there was a hole in the ice, a heartwrenching shout of fear echoed in his ears and Alexander was nowhere to be seen.

✮

Alexander hadn’t been this happy in days. There had always been something in his subconscious, whether it be a project, an essay or an upcoming exam. Yet somehow Aaron could always find time and peace for them, a bubble in his usually hectic life for calming down.

Alexander looked at the trails he made in the ice, amazed at how natural ice skating felt after he had gotten the hang of it. He chuckled, let out a breath of relief, but then he heard an ominous crack, a hollow sound coming from under his feet.

Dread forming a pit in his stomach, Alexander looked down at the ice again, taking a hesitant step.

And then the cold swallowed him. He was drowning, he was drowning, he was drowning . He heard himself shout before water covered him, and he was back on that island, water everywhere, screaming, crying, thunder, water, so much water.

His lungs were burning, his eyes were stinging, images of those dead bodies flashing in his mind. He needed to get out, he needed to get out .

Alexander struggled to push his body upwards, expecting the sweet rush of air, but instead, he was met with ice. Even more panic surged through him, his heartbeat ringing in his ears.

But then he emerged, gasps turning into coughs as he scrambled to get a grasp on the slippery ice. Everything was blurred, he couldn't get a hold of the ice, he was going to drown—

“Alexander!” a sharp, familiar voice rang out and Alexander saw something being thrown next to him. “Grab the rope!”

So he did. Alexander channeled all of his remaining energy into clasping his hands around the thick item, only relaxing when he felt arms wrapped around him.

✮

Aaron held Alexander close to his chest, gently patting the other’s back as coughs racked his body. Eventually they stopped, and Alexander took deep breaths. Aaron’s brows were furrowed, tears brimming in his eyes as what had just happened sunk in.

God, he had almost lost Alex.

“Shh, you're safe now. You're safe, you're safe, you're safe…,” he repeated it like a mantra, unsure which one of them he was trying to convince.

Alexander sighed and leaned into Aaron, his breathing slightly unsteady. Then he closed his eyes and shivered slightly. “Cold,” he whispered softly.

Sure enough, his lips did seem a little bluish as his teeth chattered. Aaron sighed, gathered himself before picking Alex up.

“Whuh- Where are you-,” Alex started, but Aaron shushed him.

“We're going to get you warm,” he said, the comfort of their dorm already in his mind. Maybe he could also get a cup of hot chocolate for Alex.

Upon hearing this, the boy in his arms relaxed, nodding slightly. “‘kay.”

Day 5: Eros [Encore] Once Yuuri’s Eros mode activated it hijacked all my planned sketches for @yuuriweek2020  :,3 . Btw this a actually a prequel for Day 4: Golden ^3^. --- Warning HC/pic backstory/rambling/stanning Daisuke Takahashi ahoy: yes Victor is supposedly skating his final season after hanging on to the last available Russian international slot by a hair, hence Team Russia jersey and a glimpse of his costume here ( I like to think he’s going for a repurposed water-theme vibe as a twin homage to both St. Petersburg and Hasetsu... the ebb and flow of life, Important Beaches TM and how Yuuri tidally changed his existence :D. Performance-wise I like to think Yuuri got his 5th big gold medal at the Olys hence fulfilling Victor’s ep. 12 canon challenge and smashing all the score records. Victor might not be on the singles’ podium after the FS but he definitely leads Russia to victory in the WTT with Japan’s team led by Yuuri getting silver by less than 1 point collective margin :P ). --- P.S. pic refs here and main inspiration for all my skater!Yuuris is the one and only Daisuke ‘Eros sensei on ice’ Takahashi, long he may still skate after switching to ice dance now! Go Kana & immortal aging-like-fine-wine Dai! I looove youuu. Twitter art post

Forgotten

It told stories over afternoon “tea” It whispered secrets as you went to bed It spelled out warnings as you bathed

It told you things to warn you

It told you things to protect you

What were those stories? What were those secrets? What were those warnings?

Remember

Remember

Remember before it’s too late

Axel

I’ve always hated surprises. I like to see what’s ahead of me.

And yet, I’ve always lived for yours.

You’re staring at me now, You have been for a while. You’re blurred around the edges In the soft lights of the church.

And we’re here, And I don’t know If we’ll ever be like this again.

There’s nothing ahead of me right now, Except you You You, And the ice.

And I’ve done well, Haven’t I?

It’s gold, And I’ve known your size For years.

And it’s nice to see your hand Without a glove on it.

Say something.

Please.

Tell me I surprised you.

For @yuuriweek2018 Day 5: Surprise - takes place during ep.10 ring exchange (A day late for Yuuri’s actual birthday.)
