This is my one-shot for @pennamepersona for @yurionice-secretsanta. I poured all my love for YOI and quite some symbolism into it. hope you like it! 💜💙

(link below)

Summary:

One day in early summer, Yuuri takes Viktor to a special place in the hillside of Hasetsu. But what started off as a trip to show Viktor the area, soon turns into a journey of mutual understanding and long-sought realisations... This one-shot foreshadows a detail about Yuuri's gala programme...

This story has:

⛸️ character & relationship study ⛸️ Japanese flower language as the main theme ⛸️ summer of mutual pining ⛸️ canonical soulmates ⛸️ feelings realisations ⛸️ a very lovely setting ⛸️ dorks in love

Excerpt:

Gasping for air, Viktor hopped off his bike and wiped his silver-blonde bangs off his sweaty brow like a beautiful angel that had never experienced the hardships of a mortal life but was enjoying them for how tangibly human they felt. “That last slope was murderous. Yuuri, are you trying to kill me?”

A mild amusement stirred inside Yuuri. “Not much more than on that day I asked you to teach me all the quads you can jump,” he replied.

“Wow.” Viktor fanned himself with his white-and-grey striped T-shirt. “Then I either have a poor memory or you’re teasing me because so far, this trip has definitely been the greater ordeal.”

“I, um, don’t want to comment on this,” Yuuri said, staring at the pale flat belly flashing underneath that T-shirt. His cheeks grew hot and he turned away to lock his bike to the rail confining the parking lot.

“Yuuri,” Viktor said, still out of breath. “I said it before, but you’re the naughtiest student.”

The things Viktor Nikiforov deemed naughty about Yuuri boiled down to: firstly, Yuuri eating katsudon although he had not won anything; secondly, Yuuri asking a skater who was not his coach to teach him a quad Viktor had not authorised; and thirdly, Yuuri executing said jump in competition—or in other words: Viktor was taking the whole coach-thing more seriously than Celestino and the Japanese coach, who had taught Yuuri before, combined to a point where Yuuri had to rein him in. On the other hand, the things Yuuri deemed naughty about Viktor all revolved around exuberant flirting, starting from gentle chin lifts and comments about wanting to see Yuuri skate naked to requesting pyjama parties as a code for sexual intercourse.

Or in other words: the only naughty one of the two of them was Viktor. It was not a trait on the list of things Yuuri had expected the living legend, who right now was groaning under thirty kilos of dog he was lifting out of the basket attached to the handlebar of his bike, to be. And during the three months Viktor had spent in Hasetsu, Yuuri had come to like this about his idol, especially now that Viktor had toned it down to a level at which Yuuri felt at ease.

“Feel free to let me mediate again,” Yuuri told his naughty coach. “This time, you can even, um, watch me.”

Some notes on what inspired me to write this story below the keep reading tag because they might spoil the reading experience:

When I thought about a topic to write about that I hadn't yet explored in canon and that meets the criteria I was given, this idea suddenly came up because it focuses on the characters and their relationship and foreshadows why they picked blue and purple for their matching costumes (and the light!) in the ending of episode 12 based on that. I once read that those costumes were inspired by Japanese flower language (and you can say the same about Viktor's free skating costume, which is why I made a reference to that as well). In my mind, at some point Yuuri and Viktor had a talk that (later) inspired the idea. The waterfall where Yuuri and Yurio meditated seemed a good place for such an insight because of the hydrangeas (yes, Mikaeri Falls exist for real and the place was used for the waterfall scene in episode 3).

The part about the monks I made up. If there is a lore about Mikaeri Falls, I was unable to find it due to my limited understanding of the Japanese language and the little information in English articles about the place.
