#yoisecretsanta18

My belated @yoisecretsanta18​ gift for @prettygodd​! Apologies for the lateness, I decided early on to draw Otayuri in a fantasy/magic AU but I went through a few concepts/sketches before I got to this one that clicked orz I hope you had a good holiday!

Otabek is supposed to be an earth mage and Yuri a fire mage! They’re taking a break during their journey; Otabek built a quick shelter and Yuri is trying to make a fire. I definitely thought too much but not thoroughly enough about how their outfits reflect that ...

"I don't think I've heard your name before," Yuuri Katsuki says after a moment.

"Oh, yes, sorry!" Victor flushes a little at his mistake. "Victor. Victor Nikiforov. I take yoga right across the hall. That's how Yuri found you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Nikiforov–"

"Victor, please," Victor interrupts before Yuuri Katsuki can say anything else. "I already feel old enough as it is. No need to rub it in further."

The smile that twitches in the corner of Yuuri Katsuki's mouth is far too charming for Victor to look away. And he curses himself for it.

"Then you must call me Yuuri," Yuuri Katsuki insists. Yuuri. "And I must say, you don't look old at all, if it helps any. I wouldn't give you more than twenty-three."

Fighting a smile himself, Victor looks to his Yuri. "I'm way older than that."

"If you still can keep up with Sara's advanced yoga class then I call your bluff."

God, Victor thinks to himself, this is silly. He's standing here, in a studio-turned-into-gym with sweaty alphas working out their aggression on punching bags, and another sweaty, hot alpha right at his side, flirting.

Because that's what it is. Victor has no doubts about it. It must be, right? Who in their right mind would tell an absolute stranger that they look younger than their actual age, if they didn't mean it this way?

Blushing, Victor bites his lips to hide his ridiculous grin. It's been so long since–

"If you ever want to sit in on one of our training sessions, you're welcome to come," Yuuri offers. "It might do our students some good to have an audience they could impress."

"I'm not that easily impressed, Yuuri." It's easy to fall into the banter if it's this. If it's innocent, if it's just... "Think you can actually manage that?"

If it's just harmless flirtation that will not breed anything but a few smiles. Victor has a son, after all, and that's his priority. He's a father, a protector, a parent first, and a single omega second. Little flirting with a handsome stranger, even with an alpha as strong, as stunning as Yuuri Katsuki is, can never be anything more than just little flirting.

Victor knows it in his heart, the one that flutters a little, the one that trembles.

"I don't know," Yuuri Katsuki says, unaware of it all. Or maybe he is, maybe it's why he says it, but that... that Victor can't know for sure. "Maybe I won't be able to, but... if you allow it, I'd like to try."

As if all words have lost their meaning, suddenly, Victor blinks at the alpha who stands at his side. He stinks of sweat and musk, and the unique scent of his alpha pheromones that reminds Victor of warm sand at the beach, and he blushes. Yuuri Katsuki, whom Victor has seen kick another alpha's ass, blushes.

It's hard to focus on anything other than that.

Title: you set my heart on fire

Author: @abarero

For: @yoisecretsanta18

Pairing: Victor/Yuuri

Summary/Tags:  {Royalty/Fantasy AU, Magic, Arranged Marriage}

It was strange to think that by this time next year he’d be married.

In fact, Yuuri was very pointedly trying not to think about it; because his chivalry of securing the alliance in his sister’s place had waned, leaving a hollow feeling in his chest that he couldn’t shift.

He’d be the one to go to Bashkiria.

He’d be the one married off to one of their royal children to show good faith in their future ally.

And most importantly, he’d be the one having to hide his natural magical ability in a kingdom where any use of magic was outlawed and punishable by death.

5 times Victor kissed Yuuri and 1 time Victor kissed Yuuri.
