Peyongchang, South Korea was the home of the 2018 winter olympics. The city had an element of magic to it. Perhaps it was the glittery lights in the mountains at night. Or, perhaps it was the texture of the crisp-clear snow. Unlike the summer olympics where there are a large diversity in terms of what types of sports get to compete, the winter olympics are a smaller elite group. The most elite sport of them all would certainly be the figure skaters. They are also without a doubt, the most graceful.

Many fans have their predictions on who would win the gold medal. One of the most popular picks is most certainly Victor Nikiforov followed by Yuri Pilsetsky, and Li Xiao Chun in the mens. Amelia Jones, Anya Braginskaya, and Mameko Honda in the women's division. These six skaters have won consecutive championships and therefore are most popular with fans. Despite the constant comparing between these six, and all of the other finalists, most of the skaters have good bonds with each other.

On the first day of competition, which happened to be the women's division, the drama was already brutal. While relaxing by the hot tubs, people could easily be sucked into the gossip.

" Did you hear Victor and Yuuri are totally in love?" Amelia giggled as she sipped on some champagne as she extended her legs in the hot tub.

" You mean Pilsetsky? That's his brother..." Anya commented, giving Amelia a confused expression.

Amelia laughed loudly " Not that Yuri. Japanese Yuuri."

" Yuuri Katsuki?" Mameko tilted her head slightly. She normally does not add into conversations. However, Yuuri was a good friend of hers since after all they both were representing Japan.

Amelia nodded " Yeah!! That guy!"

Anya smirked " I agree. It would explain their various... interesting... interactions. Pilsetsky is supposedly seeing one of the Italian skaters anyways. "

" Oh man the Italians are so hot! How much you wanna bet it's Sara... oh but Michele would kill him!" Amelia babbled on and on until Canadian male skater Jean-Jacques walked bye.

" Hello, ladies. Man you all were beautiful out on the ice. " He flashed his signature artificial looking smile.

" JJ! Hey, it's nice to see you again. I haven seen you since we were what? 15? How are you?" Amelia's attention was turned completely away from the previous subject.

Ironically, Yuri and Lovino were sitting right across from the hot tub. They were drinking their respective glasses of wine, in mostly silence. Lovino listened to their conversation as he stared out into space. He had known Yuri for quite awhile, and he had always been somewhat jealous of Yuri's skills. But it wasn't until they met that he realized they had a lot in common despite being intimidated by him initially.

" I hate these things. I'm going outside." Lovino huffed and exited the resort lobby.

" Well don't leave me here, asshole." Yuri trailed behind him and slammed the door.

Lovino took his skating bag off of his shoulders, which he had been carrying around all day due to being at practice all day, and took out his skates.

" What the hell are you doing?" Yuri crossed his arms.

" I'm going for a skate, idiot. If you want you can loan my shittier pair in here. Not like I've been able to fit them since I was like 13 anyways." Lovino slipped off his shoes and replaced them with his skates as he spoke.

" You're an asshole..." Yuri's face was red from embarrassment,

Lovino shrugged " Do you want the stupid skates or not?"

Yuri rolled his eyes " The practice rink is closed. I don't plan on getting kicked out before even competing. "

" Who said we would be at the practice rink?" He asked gesturing towards a small lake nearby.

" Is that even safe?" Yuri raised an eyebrow.

" It's winter dumbass. This is the best time to do this kind of stuff." Lovino scoffed as he neared the lake.

Yuri sighed and rolled his eyes. He slipped on the nasty skates and ran up to Lovino. Lovino stepped onto the ice and skated around.

" See? You don't need to be such a prick about the lake stuff. This one is perfectly fine." He called out as he practiced a triple axel.

Yuri grumbled as he skated onto the ice hesitantly. Before he knew it, he began to feel comfortable as well, or at least enough to do some jumps as well. He went for a triple lutz, then, a quad. However, as he landed the quad, the loud sound of cracking ice made his skin crawl. Lovino rushed over just before Yuri fell in.

" You know what? This is stupid, I'm leaving." Yuri pushed Lovino off of him and started off. Lovino however, grabbed Yuri's arm.

" You must have just landed too hard. If my fat ass can do it then so can you.

Yuri shook his head " You aren't that fat..."

" Maybe it's just smarter if we skate together, we could practice some partner work before we compete with our respective partners..." Lovino suggested bashfully and then cleared his throat " Don't take this seriously though... this isn't a romantic gesture."

At first Lovino meant what he said, truly. He had contemplated being gay before, but then he decided that if he was anything other than straight, he would be bisexual. Besides, he couldn't date a 17 year old, even if Lovino was only 18. Plus Yuri seemed.... intimidating and popular with the ladies. But Yuri would be a good partner. He was so small and easy to lift. Plus he had very feminine features.

Yuri paused and then shrugged " I suppose if it means a better shot at winning first, why not?"

Lovino nodded and released his grip, transferring it to Yuri's hand, and taking Yuri's other hand with his own free hand. The two started slowly, simply gliding along the ice together. Then, Lovino's hands glided towards Yuri's waist and lifted him up, preforming a curve lift. This turned into a combination lift. Then, the two danced across the ice together in a more simplistic, sexy manner before going into a carry lift. As Lovino put Yuri down, Yuri smirked

" Wow, do you and your partner have sex after these things or something?"

" My partner is Sara. Why... are you turned on?" Lovino cusped Yuri's cheek with his right hand and chuckled in a captivating manner while his other hand rested on the small of Yuri's back.

Yuri's pale blue eyes widened and tried pulling away. However it was as if his skates were glued to the ice because he physically felt paralyzed. He tried saying something, anything, but nothing was coming out. Instead his jaw was just open.

" I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing... if we tried..." Lovino thought aloud.

" Tried what?" Yuri's voice was shaking.

Lovino softly pecked Yuri's pale, thin lips. Just as he pulled away, Yuri pulled him back in and kissed him much more intensively.

" If you're going to pull some fuckboy shit, at least do it right"

" Still better than the resort lobby don't you think?"

" Grandpa can't know... you can't tell anyone of this!" Yuri threatened.

Lovino nodded " I wouldn't tell." He began to kiss Yuri's neck, leaving small marks behind his ears. Yuri wrapped his arms around Lovino's neck, biting his lip to avoid moaning.

" Tomorrow morning you better buy me coffee, or I will assume you used me for sex." Yuri mumbled, suggestively tugging at the strap of Lovino's pants. He began to move slowly towards the land, as he did not want to do this out in the open.

" I'd buy you coffee any day." Lovino smirked and moved with him.

Yuri nodded " Very good."

Suddenly the ice cracked again, by only a thin margin did Yuri not fall. Instead he was pushed out of the way, and in place of Yuri, Lovino fell.

" No!!" Yuri grabbed Lovino's arm, however, Yuri was simply a weak boy and could only hold on for so long. Lovino attempted to hoist himself up with the ice around him.

" Don't worry-" The ice suddenly broke where his arm was and he fell in. Yuri jumped into the water and tried to hoist Lovino up, however, Lovino was simply too heavy and Yuri was sinking with him. He no choice but to simply let go.

Yuri got out and stared at the hole in shock. He clenched a fist.

" Y-You shouldn't have done that Lovino. You shouldn't have!" Tears clouded his vision as he shakily stood up, as if he had never been on ice before, he stumbled off the ice as quick as he could.
