Yuuri POV

      "Yuuri wake up", a kept saying in my head, pawing at my face. "Wakey wakey. It's your turn to hunt". I grunt in my sleep and push myself of the bed, rubbing my eyes. The sunlight glared into them making me squint. Phichit was in his wolf form slinking around. "I know, I am getting ready", I say as a usher Phichit out of my room and head to my bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth with my pitcher of water I got the day before from a spring Phichit and I found when hunting. It basically became our source of water. I put on my glasses and adjust my eyesight to the light. I undress and pull on my black tunic and matching black leggings. I turn back and pull on my signature black hood. I have hoods in other colors, but black is the most practical. I pull on my thick, black gloves, and then over to the weapon room. The weapon room was a room that pre existed before I moved in with Phichit. There were weapons of all different types. Maces, clubs, swords, guns, basically any kind of weapon. I grab my favorite weapon... a bow. I grab my quiver which I already place arrows in. I put a hunting knife in my thigh bag, which use whenever I go out. I head downstairs, to find Phichit setting some eggs and some milk on the table. I set my weapon down next to my boots, and I quietly set myself at the table. I start shoveling the eggs down and chug the milk. I put my dishes into the sink. Phichit gives me an odd look and sets himself down in the living room, pulling a book onto his lap. I tie up my boots and sling the quiver over my shoulder. "Be careful", Phichit called from the living room. I nod and call a good bye over my shoulder and race to the woods.

      A hawk and falcon swooped down from the sky flying by my side. I smile, in each of their directions. "Periè", I said in the falcon's direction. Periè gave a squawk, acknowledging me. "Takao", I says and the hawk nudged at my arm, as we ran (they were flying). Takao and Periè rose up high into the sky as I searched by foot for game. I soon came upon a buck drinking from a waterhole. It was quite easy to find game since they all gathered around one of the few waterholes, that weren't frozen over. I hide myself in the bush, pulling an arrow from my quiver and drawing it on my bow. I ready myself, keeping a close on the buck's movement. When I got my aim, I took a deep breath, and let it fly. I hear a thud of the falling body. I lift my body from my hiding place and walk over to my kill. "Thank you for your sacrifice", I thought as I pull out my hunting knife which I carry around all the time. I cut a clean cut at the stomach and let the blood drain out. "SQUAWK", I heard heading towards me. I put my knife down and hold my arms out, as the land with grace, on them respectively. "Find anything you 2?" I ask. They give a gesture that seemed like a semblance of a nod. I smile. "Okay we will go see your kills and finds after I deliver mine to the house.

I heave the buck onto my shoulders. Takao carried my bow, as Periè carried my quiver. We slowly made our way to the castle. "PHICHIT!!!", I yelled, as I dropped the buck. I heard rustling, and soon Phichit ran to open the gates. He helps me carry the buck into the house, and we dropped it in the doorway. "We could sell the antlers and some of the meat. We could sell the skin to, unless you wanna do something with it...?" I shake my head. "Nah, just sell the skin and fur. And the antlers, I still have some anyway. The meat we can keep, for our meals", I say, to which Phichit agreed. "Okay I will go into town and sell it", he says reverting to wolf form to conserve time. "How much longer do you have?", I asked. "3 hours exactly, just enough to make it to town, sell, and come back, but you gotta make dinner since I will out of time", he said in a teasing tone. I laugh light heartedly. I exit the castle and go to the garden. I wheel out the wagon and some rope. I roll it to the entrance of the castle, and get the buck and place it in the wagon. I carefully tie it to Phichit. Phichit tugged at my knot and when it didn't unravel, Phichit gave my a nuzzle, and pulled the cart out through the gate. "Okay Phichit, be careful", I called.

As soon as Phichit was out of sight I went back in to get the birds. "Okay you guys show me your stash", I say. Periè takes off at fast speeds with my my quiver in tow, as Takao followed suit with my bow. I raced after them, till the stopped in front a clump of old oak trees. They beckoned me closer, till I found their hiding place; a hole made deep in one off the trunk. I look in to find many dead rabbits, mice, and squirrels, with some occasional small birds. I pat both their heads. "Good job you 2", I say as toss each one of them 2 mice from their stash, which they caught and gobbled down quickly. I carry their kills in both arms as we made our trip back home. I pushed past the gate and place the goodies on the kitchen table. "Okay all done", I say. I get a plate and filled it with some of the the small dead goodies and some buck meat. I signalled to Periè and Takao to follow me as we made our way to the balcony of the tallest tower. This was their rest point whenever they wanted to come back and stay. Usual they stay in the forest, but they come here as well, which always try to prepare for. I place the plate in front of their rest area, which they attacked immediately. I head to my room to drop my weapons and gloves of. I get a box out of my closet and open it. In it lies my well used black skates. I pull them out and look to the picture of the silver haired boy's picture I drew that rested on my desk. "I wonder if I will see you", I thought, but shake my head. "Nah it won't happen. The chances are too low", I tell myself as I write a note to Phichit, telling him where I was going, just in case he came back early. I leave it on the living table on top of his book, and headed out the ice pond as the the cold kissed my cheeks.

Victor POV

I sprint to the forest fences, ice skates and music in tow. The sun was already starting to set signaling a that I didn't have much time till dark. Push past the gate and head towards the iced pond in the center of the forest. After a bit of getting hit in the face by branches and tripping over roots, I was at my destination. Only to find someone else already there. I hid quickly behind a tree a tree and watched the stranger. My eyes widened after I got a good look of the person. A ebony haired boy was skating with grace a routine I was very familiar with. Stammi Vicino. He moved with confidence as his lithe body moved smoothly through the jumps and spins without a pause. His step sequences were emotional, expressing his longing and sadness. The boy struck the ending pose, with the sun set making him glow ethereally. It reflected perfectly of his Raven hair and accentuated his soft features. I tie on my skates quickly to meet the beautiful boy on the ice. I carefully skated on, so he wouldn't be scared off. He seemed to be in his own world, as he didn't seem to notice me immediately. I slowly start clapping, as brown doe eyes met my Aqua ones with a look of disbelief.

Yuuri POV

"Am I dreaming?", I wonder as I see the silver haired boy's eyes trained on me. I squeeze my eyes shut and I pinched myself hard. I winced and slowly opened my eyes, only to see aqua eyes directly in front of me at eye-level. His silver bang falling perfectly over his left eye. I blush a bright pink. "Ummm...who are you?", I asked awkwardly fidgeting with my fingers, advertantly avoiding eye-contact. I felt a finger under my chin pulling my face up and my eyes widened, as I found myself only centimeters away from the handsome boy. From up close I could see every single detail of his face. His jawline, pale, unblemished skin, his eyes were a an ocean blue which seems to go on forever. I could feel myself drown into the. I could feel his warm breath on my lips causing me to become 50 shades darker. "I could be asking you the same", he said, making our faces come a little closer. "I-i-i'm Yuuri", I say stuttering and turning redder by the second. Victor put a little distance between us and wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me back closer. "A pretty name for a pretty boy~", the silver haired boy said accentuating his words with a flirty wink. I can feel my face now reaching abnormally high temperatures. The snow was melting on contact of my cheeks at how hot they were. "My name is Victor", the silver haired boy said as I was staring down at the ice trying not to make eye contact.

"You must have watched me skate before", Victor suddenly began saying. I quickly looked up at him. "W-w-what do y-y-you mean", I ask awkwardly. "Does he mean he noticed me watching him before?", I thought carefully contemplating my next response. "Well... you replicated my choreography, perfectly, and more beautifully if I do say so myself", Victor said with a smile. My eyes widened. "Can I take a picture of this moment", I wonder as I see the sight in front of me. Victor had wore a beautiful smile, which made look even more gorgeous than he already was. Victor gently took my hands in his, and pulled me closer, wrapping an arm around my waist, and extending another arm entwined with mine. I place my free hand on his shoulder. Victor wore the dazzling smile, again melting my heart. "Let's skate", he says gleefully, gently pulling me along till we were comfortable skating together with tripping over each others foot.

Soon enough we were spinning together, our bodies fusing together, our hearts beating as one. Our jumps in sync. Spins, graceful, with our step sequence intertwining with each other in a dance to express ourselves. We ended our performance gasping for breath in each other's arms, holding on for dear life. I quickly pushed away gasping. "I got to go", I say breathlessly as a skated to the side of the pond where my stuff was located. I quickly put on my shoes and turned to run into the woods, when I arms around my pulling me into a warm body. "Will I see you again, if I let you go", he asked, sadness lacing his voice. I turn to him. "You will I promise", I say with a small smile on my face. This made Victor smile and he bent down, till where his eyes were at level with mine. He came closer and gave my forehead a gentle kiss. "I can not wait", he said as he lets me go. He gets back on the ice skating to his side of the lake. "Bye Yuuri, I hope to see you soon," Victor called from the other side. I waved and sprinted through the woods with my cheeks red and my face donning a goofy smile. "I can not believe my wish came true!", I internally scream as I make it to the castle. Phichit wasn't home yet, so I quickly make dinner of buck stew and eat, before head up to my room. I get my sketchbook and draw pictures of Victor, till I fall asleep. My thoughts drifting back to the silver haired boy, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Victor POV

A genuine smile adorned my face all the way home as I trudged through the piling snow. I open the front door only to be barreled by Makkachin who covered my face in doggy kisses. I laugh light heartedly as I gently move Makkachin of me ushered him into the house. My father had just placed dinner on the table, so I knew I was just in time. "I'm home, Dad," I called from the front door. "Welcome home, Vitya", my father's voice boomed through the house. I take of my coat and shoes placing them by the door. I wiped my ice skates with a piece of cloth before putting it back in its box. I immediately head down for dinner. The smile I was wearing since I saw Yuuri was still adorning my face, making me feel happier than I felt in a long time. I sat down at the table from my father, as he ladled the he made into bowls for the both of us. He seemed to have noticed my happy mood. "Why so happy Vitya?", he asked with interest evident in his voice. "If I didn't know better I would say that you were in love", he finished with a teasing tone and hearty laugh. I laugh at this. "Maybe, I am not sure yet, Dad. It could be", I say in response. Father gives me shocked look. "Who's the lucky person", he asked curiously, taking a spoon of the borscht. I wink. "It is a secret", I say as I finish my borscht and head up to my room after excusing myself.

I plop on my bed face-forward. "Do I love, Yuuri?", I wondered. "I can't already, I just met him... but it feels as though I have known him for longer... how...?", I thought as I rolled onto my bed, soon to be joined by Makkachin. I cuddle him till I fell asleep with dreams of the ebony-haired boy.

"Yuuri, I can sense your growth and change", a feminine voice said as she looked into a glass globe. "You're finding yourself... finding love... how sweet", a smile gracing her features. "The curse is slowly breaking, it is getting weaker... and soon you will be free", she wonders aloud as she turns away from the globe.
