Here’s my third fill for @rareshipsonbingo! Written for the prompt “Seeking attention,” it’s based on Christophe Giacometti’s flashback in Episode 7 about meeting Viktor Nikiforov for the first time. 

Touch - VicChris : an excerpt from a Yuri!!! on Ice Soulmates Week ficlet by @zjofierose

Christophe knows who Viktor Nikiforov is from the time he starts skating competitively at around eight and a half. Viktor Nikiforov is a little older, a little taller; a little more blond than Christophe. He’s pretty in pictures, prettier even than most of the girls at Christophe’s rink, his hair drifting like mercury across the tops of his shoulders. He’s talented, and charming, and skates like a dream, at least according to new articles and coaches gossip. He’s fascinating in the way of all beautiful things, and also because Christophe knows that, if they both keep rising in the ranks, they’ll skate against each other one day in competition. 

Christophe imagines, of course, that he will win - imagines standing on the top of the podium, looking down at silver hair to match a silver medal while his own gold burns against his chest- then refocuses on the next spin to learn, the next jump to perfect. And the next, and the next, and the next. 

In spite of this, he doesn’t follow Viktor with any particular dedication; something about Viktor feels inevitable, and so Christophe feels no real pull to hurry behind in Viktor’s wake. Their paths will intersect regardless, he thinks, and puts it easily out of his mind. But after another couple years, Viktor’s shadow becomes inescapable, first in Russia, then in Europe, then the world. Viktor wins in novices, wins in juniors, makes his senior debut at the tender age of fifteen. Christophe follows two years later.

Christophe, now nearly sixteen and currently standing as the best skater his age in Switzerland, watches from the bleachers, one part awe to two parts analytic strategizing as Viktor takes gold again and lets a fan settle a wreath of blue roses on his head. It’s Christophe’s first year on the senior circuit, and he’s done respectably for himself against much older competitors, but. He hadn’t come close to touching Viktor Nikiforov.

He’s clearing out his gear bag and coat and costume bag from the locker room later, staying out of the way of the older skaters and the coaches as they bustle through. He’s not expecting it when a slim body lands beside him on the wooden bench, and he turns, startled, to face the boy beside him. 

Viktor’s eyes are closed, his head resting against the lockers as he slumps, but it’s only a split second before he bounces upright, tipping his head to the side as he smiles that cheerful grin and holds out his hand. 

“It’s a pleasure, Christophe,” Viktor says, holding out a hand. “I’m Viktor Nikiforov. I’ve heard so much about you.”

Christophe manages to avoid rolling his eyes at the possibility that any skater might not immediately recognize Viktor Nikiforov in the flesh, and sticks his own hand out of his oversized coat sleeve to take Viktor’s. “Christophe Giacometti,” he says as he brings their fingers together. “It’s nice to-”

He’s not expecting the electric shock that flows through his skin at the contact with Viktor, and smacks his left hand against the bank of lockers to steady himself as the right clutches at Viktor’s. Viktor looks equally stunned, ethereal blue eyes wide and round as the circuit completes through them, dissipating with an electric tingle through Christophe’s extremities. 

“Wow,” Viktor whispers, his voice reverent and his gaze glowing as it settles on Christophe, who takes a shuddering breath. “You’re my…”

Or: Viktor was Chris's sexual awakening, and a decade later, Chris still holds a place in his heart (and his libido) for him, however, as of late, Viktor isn't the only one Chris has thoughts about when he's alone...
