These Broken Wings of Mine (A Vikturi Soulmate AU)

One

I hear the chair beside me screech against the floor. Startled out of my thoughts, I jump slightly and look at the person in the chair. It's the boy with silver hair! He looks even prettier up close. I try to say something, but I just end up turning red and looking down. Damn this social anxiety!

"Hi! I'm Viktor!" The boy beside me says cheerfully. I look up. He's smiling at me. I smile back hesitantly.

"I-I'm, um, Y-yuuri," I say, my face turning bright red. Damn! I can't even introduce myself without making a fool of myself! I look back at him, and he's still smiling.

"I like that name! It's pretty!" Viktor says laughing. I smile again. I could get used to this kid. 

"Um, t-thanks," I say, barely audible. Viktor smiles at me again. We kinda just stare at each other for a moment when suddenly, the teacher calls us to attention. When I look up, I realize the blond haired kid is sitting right in front of us. He's sitting next to a black haired kid with an undercut, which is ridiculous for a teenager, but they seem to tolerate each other. The blond haired kid whispers something to the other kid who laughs. It seems like they're enjoying themselves. I glance back over at Viktor, who notices and smiles at me. I smile back, which is surprisingly easy.

"Ok, so you've already heard all the rules, so you can spend this time getting to know your partner. I'd give you an activity, but you wouldn't do it, so have fun I guess," the teacher says. He has messy black hair and baggy clothes. His eyes are greenish blackish and his feet are bare. He told everyone to call him Mr. L, so I suppose he likes privacy. I shake my head and turn to Viktor who is studying me intently. I gulp and look down.

"Ok, this is a serious question," I look at Viktor questionly when he says this. He smirks at me and continues. "If you were any animal, what would you be?" I can't help it; I laugh. He looks at me in mock frustration.

"Hey! I said it was serious," but he laughs too. I smile at him. I like this guy.

"I guess I should say ape cause they're closest to people, but I'd want to be a cat. Then I can ignore people and still be loved," I say, surprised I don't stammer. I guess he just puts me at ease. He laughs. It's a beautiful sound, like the sound of bells, but not quite so musical. 

"That's a great reason. I'd like to be a dog! Poodle especially. I can make people happy by just being in the room then!" Viktor says with a smile. Cute. Wait, what?

"You seem to make people happy already." I don't mean to say it. It just kinda slips out. I look down quickly and cover my face. Viktor laughs again.

"Thanks! I d-" Viktor starts to say, but the table in front of us interrupts him.

"Oi, Viktor! You shouldn't be scaring people away already!" The blond haired kid shouts. Viktor just gives him a pointed look and glances back at me. I've composed myself enough to peek through my fingers. I squeak when I realize he's looking at me and cover my face again. This time, he doesn't laugh.

"Do you have anxiety?" I look up at him when he says this, panicking.

"You can tell?!?" I say, a little to loudly, causing the two boys in front of us to look over at us. I put my head on my desk and cover my head. Viktor prods me gently.

"I have anxiety too, but it only really shows up when I've been in the same place too long. It's ok. It's not that obvious with you," I look up at him with interest. Him, anxiety? I can't tell at all. 

"Oh, um, thank you," I say quietly. At this point, no one's looking at us. Good. I smile at him. He smiles back.

"Oh! Another question! What's your favorite color? Mine's gray. A slightly shiny one, but not shiny enough to be silver, you know?" Viktor says excitedly. He seems like one of those people who acts like a child, but I tend to like those people, so I don't mind.

"Um, blue I guess. I also like black a lot. Not that shitty black that's just slightly darker than gray. The type of black that makes you feel like you're getting lost in it," I say, smiling. Viktor laughs. He has so much joy radiating from him, it's almost impossible not to smile. 

"That's a great color! I once had a dog that was that color, but it died. My parents got me a new one, though! He's a puppy and he's a poodle. His fur is a light brown color. His name is Makkichin. You should come over to meet him sometime!" He says happily. I find myself nodding.

"I also have a brown poodle! His name is Vicchan. He's adorable! I only just got him a couple weeks ago, but I already love him and he loves me!" I say excitedly. Viktor smiles at me as I say this, and the tingling sensation increases slightly. I ignore it and continue talking to Viktor. After a little while, we start talking to the table in front of us too. The blond haired kid's name actually turns out to be Yuri too, but Viktor decides to start calling him Yurio. The guy with the undercut's name is Otabek, and he seems kinda shy too. Yurio, on the other hand, is mean and doesn't care. It was fun. At the end of class, Viktor gives me his number and invites me to sit with him at lunch. I smile and happily agree. I'm glad Viktor's my partner.
