When I speak passionately,

that’s when I’m least to be trusted.

Day 2: Passion

I missed day one because I was at a con, but I managed to throw some stuff together for day two...

Leia’s heart pounding through her ears, all this time she thought she was jealous of Milla’s strength, bravery, impossible drive, and attractiveness. She soon learned she wasn’t jealous-she was developing a crush.

Passion

Hoo boy, this @viktuuri-week prompt was rough! But I think I wrestled it into shape! I hope you enjoy a dose of Passion!

It started with a girl. One he admired, one who skated like an angel on the ice. Yuuri wanted to be Yuuko, so he laced up his skates and practiced endlessly, until he could match her every move.

Yet he never could quite figure out if his passion lay on the ice. Was it for the joy of feeling the glide of blades under his feet, or was it for the pride of skating on the same ice as the Madonna of Ice Castle Hasetsu?

It continued with a boy. On a snowy locker room television, watching the Junior World Championships and seeing the most beautiful thing he could ever imagine, silver hair flowing and perfect lines as he possessed the ice. Yuuri stared enraptured at Victor Nikiforov, and for the next 12 years of his life he never looked away.

It ended with a man, one Yuuri had chased for so long. Yuuri laced up his skates and poured his passion onto the ice, skating an ode to his idol, to Victor.

He never imagined that his solo skate would morph into a duet, or that he would show his passion for Victor to the world, hand in hand.
