Chapter Text
Yuuri is not supposed to go to the border of Winter, he has been told many times by several fairies, but his curiosity got the best of him and honestly he's not even close to the cold line so it should be fine. He just loves to watch the flakes fall and cluster together, each flake unique in size and shape and all just so beautiful, he sometimes feels jealous of the fairies who make snowflakes because their work is considered beautiful by a lot of fairies while the things Yuuri makes are often taken for granted.
He hears a yip from somewhere on his right and before he can fully turn he his knocked onto the log by a big curly haired fox. His golden eyes look at Yuuri with exitcement and his face is a muted red almost brown color, Yuuri sits up to look past the fox's face to see that half his body is still in winter and thus white colored. Yuuri cracks a smile reaching up to pet the fox as he dips his head down to get Yuuri's attention back on his face. “I'm not an animal talent so you don't really understand me and I don't really understand you but shouldn't you stay in winter and not knock over strange sparowmen?” the fox tilts his head at Yuuri and makes an answering noise which is interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.
“Makkachin! What are you doing over there?” The fox moves back fully into winter as a winter fairy comes into Yuuri's view and steals his breath away. The first thing he notices about the other sparrowman is that his hair is silver like frozen water under him, his skin is pale though he has a healthy flush on his cheeks. His wings glitter like freshly fallen snow and his blue eyes sparkle just as much. Dark green boots touch down in the snow as the fox stops in front of the newcomer who has a bright smile on his face. “I told you before not to run off when I am making new flakes” his tone is light but the words do have an impact as the fox hangs his head a little giving a response to his apparent keeper.
“A Tinker fairy on the border? Oh my you're right” Yuuri shoots up fully as the attention from the winter fairy is turned to him. “Ah! Um...Hello” his voice is squeaky and his is shifting his weight from his left to his right shyly glancing up through his lashes. Dark brown pants come up from out of the dark green boots and a sparkling white grey leave is worn as a long sleeve shirt by this handsome stranger. The sparrowman smiles at him and holds out his hand with a flourish. “Tinker, My name is Viktor winter animal fairy and snow flake maker, it's very nice to meet you!”
Yuuri shifts his gaze from the wide sparking smile, is everything sparkling with this fairy??!!, and his stretched out hand which he slowly takes. “Yuuri, tinker fairy, nice to meet you” Yuuri scolds himself in his head for sounding so meek but Viktor doesn't seem to mind as his smile seems to get impossibly wider and more sparkly. They shake hands for a bit and Yuuri knows he is going to fall hard for this man who seems to be a living sparkling snowflake.
