After winning the Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu Championship against Minami Kenjirou, Yuuri had advanced to the Cup of China where he placed first in the free skate and then second in the short program. Overall he had advanced to the Rostelecom Cup and you should know because you were there.

After leaving Narumi's side to text Yuri in the bathroom, you had rolled some toilet paper on your hand, thanking your mother silently as she had left a pen on the bathroom counter when she had been emptying your pockets to take the clothes to do the laundry.

Writing a small note as quick and gently as you could, you left the paper on the counter and quietly opened the bathroom door to stealthily make your way towards the front door with only a phone in hand.

After grabbing your shoes quickly, the three people sitting in the living room flinched at the sound of a door closing but you couldn't hear anything when you began sprinting straight to Yuuri's home.

The thought of leaving your mother behind with those people made you sick to your stomach and it made you so, so mad that it happened but you had to find a way to get money and help her.

If only she had told you sooner then maybe this whole 'marriage' wouldn't have happened. Maybe if your biological father wasn't so thirsty for money then this wouldn't have happened.
Maybe if you didn't come out to your father four years ago, you wouldn't have caused so much trouble for your mother.

Your mother was really compassionate and caring and she was really selfless so you couldn't imagine the amount of pain she was going through when she let her ex-husband use his son; that he had shunned so long ago, as a way to become more financially stable.

Despite the swirling thoughts making you dizzy, you had made it Yuri's house with your pride left behind when you got down on your knees in front of him.

"Please let me come with you! I don't have money but I swear I'll pay you back for everything once I get it!"

Yuuri was shocked but he nodded in a way that said he would've even if you asked normally. Viktor smiled and agreed to, "Of course you can [Name]."

He was most likely thinking your desperate tone was because of Yurio and how close you wanted to be with him. He was half-correct but you'd be damned if you let your first and only love get away from you after you had finally met him.

Your dream had come true but you wanted to be with Yuri, to be able to support him just by being in the stands and give him one of the most biggest and cuddliest hugs when he got off of the ice.

You wanted to be able to congratulate him and allow him to vent to you about anything and everything. Why was it so difficult to want something so badly.

Boarding the plane to Beijing for the Cup of China was really fun because your got to see Phichit again and also see Guang Hong Ji; a Chinese figure skater with Leo De La Igelsia who had come from America.

Yuuri had been flustered and tired, it was obvious he got no sleep but when it came to the point that he would be performing after another competitor, he was in a way that Viktor hadn't seen before.

It was obvious that Viktor didn't understand why he was like this or what to do but you couldn't help when Viktor looked to you for assistance, he had to learn to become a coach and help his skater when he needed it.
"Yuuri, you have to be strong okay- you're going to ace this."

"Th-that's easy for you to say..."

The whole time he had been quiet but as he stood in the room where he was stretching and jogging up and down the hall, you wanted him to at least know you were here for him, Viktor couldn't help but watch silently and listen to observe, "Come on Yuuri, you're an amazing skater, don't doubt yourself now."

"Please.. stop."

"What? What's going on?"

Yuuri wouldn't meet your eyes, placing his earphones in his ears as his hands then fell limp by his side. He had dark bags under his eyes and a slouched posture, "I don't want to hear that from you right now."

"Yuuri?" This time Viktor cut in, making you confused as the Russian coach was also puzzled, "I don't want to hear that from someone who came all this way for someone else!"

Despite the shock, your eyes had lowered in shame. You couldn't exactly say anything in defence as the air was so thick. He had raised his voice at you which was rare and adding the pressure from the skating- he only wanted to rid himself of these frustrations, maybe you could give him this and help.

"Yeah, and?"

The hard look on your face made Yuuri gasp to himself before his frown deepened, scrunching his brows when he opened his mouth, "I thought you had come for me! You always say you'll always support me and Yurio but it's all about him!"

"Well I came for him as well, you can't expect me to be on your side the entire time when the one I love is also competing."

The calmness is your voice flared something in Yuuri but he was held back by Viktor when the grey haired male grabbed him by the arm to lead him somewhere else, leaving the through the exit.

As soon as the skater on the ice finished, Yuuri came out with Viktor behind him. His eyes were red and he was pale, he had been crying. Viktor's face was pale too but he held no expression when the both of them went through the curtains to make it to the skirting of the rink.

You had followed behind listening to the sounds of the yelling and applauds off the crowds above in the bleachers. They were wild but the air on the ground was tense when Yuuri got on the ice to perform.

Despite really itching to see Yurio perform just like this, Yuuri was your friend. You didn't know that he felt second to you compared to Yurio but it was an automatic thought to you; to treasure and cherish the person who had taken your heart.

Yuuri performed and he was so, so graceful despite his performance being mature and sexual love. Compared to Christophe of Switzerland, Yuuri wasn't as erotic but Yuuri's story and theme was love and so he had turned his final move into a quadruple flip instead of his usual quadruple toe loop.

By the side of the skirting, you couldn't help but smile at Yuuri's improvement and how well he performed and you couldn't help watch the way Viktor had run to the entrance of the ice when Yuuri was skating straight to him. Their smiles towards each other made your heart warm and your cheeks hurt.

They appeared so sweet but time stopped when Viktor was flinging his body on top of the skater as everyone in the stands including yourself and Yuuri was frozen at the scene of Viktor slowly but surely placing his lips upon Yuuri's.
