In all honesty, my ideal season 2 would be 100% of the hidden camera footage from Yuuri and Victor's Summer of Mutual Pining.™
Every intense and heated Eros program training session, every awkward, but revealing conversation about what Yuri's free skate program means to him (or for them).
All the post-practice walks home from the Ice Castle, their fingers brushing tentatively or sharing a single umbrella in the rainy season, breath fogging the warm air between them.
Taking Makkachin on long walks to the beach, where finger-brushing soon becomes enthusiastic hand-holding and afternoons in the sun become cool, splashy games of run, catch and release.
Undoubtedly, some rolled eyes, some stretched nerves and bruised feelings, but also locked gazes, shy understanding and laughter.
Packing picnic lunches for day trips to the countryside, strolling through summer festivals wearing matching yukata, working their way through every flavor of popsicle from the local conbini, the melted sugary liquid sticking to their hands and faces.
Hot afternoons spent lying side by side in the cool grass listening to cicadas followed by sleepless nights of longing behind the inn's paper walls wondering, "why doesn't he?" "he couldn't possibly, could he?" or "what if we?"
And almost maybe definitely kissing innumerable times before being interrupted by Makka or Mari or the triplets or by something inside them that says "wait, not yet," because, soon, their season will finally begin.
