"...Are you kidding me?"

Your father shook his head simply, blinking slowly to glance at his ex-wife then back at you, "Why woukd I joke about this? If you want your mother to stay in this house then you're going to marry Narumi, I won't take no for an answer."

Yuri Plisetsky dashed through your mind; his beautiful blond hair and his bright blue eyes that shone so brightly when he skated, or when he found something with a tiger pattern. He was so adorable, he looked so delectable. Yuri was so gorgeous and young too, his skating was top notch- he would no doubt grow to become the best. Beside Yuuri Katsuki of Japan of course.

Yuri was a noticable tsundere, it was made very, very apparent in all the fanfictions you had read, the art people made of him and the posters sold in stores but your only wish was that he open up to you. 

Maybe it was you being overly-confident but you thought it had already been set into motion, the fact that Yuri looked at you more and spoke with less anger in his sweet voice that made butterflies go crazy in your stomach. But before going into detail, [Name] had to make this man leave before things got worse.

"What does he mean 'live' in this house, we're here, right? I'm sick of your jokes and I want you to leave." The monotone voice of her son made Chieko whimper as she shook her head in despair, "'Kaasan, please stop crying."

"I believe you haven't noticed but the bills are piling up and your mother is in debt. She can't pay for electricity, water.." He began listing of a bunch of things regarding the house but the only thing you really heard was, 'your mother is in debt,' for how long had this been happening and why weren't you told about this?

"Bu-.. but I dropped out of school and it's only two people here.. It shouldn't be that bad right? 'Kaasan why didn't you tell me! I could've helped you! Why would you keep this to yourself! Dont tell me you called him?!"

The whimpers escaping your mum made you realise that you had grabbed her by the shoulders too tight. Her head was cast down, tear stains on the top corner of her shirt and drops landing on her lap made you stop, "Please stop [Name]. I know this is so, so horrible, I expect you to hate me, it's alright but please.."

All in one breath she uttered those words making you cringe with distaste, ".. I'll get a job. I'll ask Yuuri for some help then I'll pay him back! 'Kaasan you didn't have to deal with yourself!" Your voice had cracked making you turn stubbornly as to not let any tears spill, you refused to cry.

"You had to leave school too.. [Name] just go with this-"

"Arranged marriages aren't a thing anymore! We aren't living in your time or whatever! It's 2016-  homosexuality is accepted now and I'll help 'Kaasan! You can leave!" About to stand to escort; or force, both Tetsuya and Narumi towards the front door, your father silenced you once again, "I thought I told you, it is a phase [Name]. Narumi will help you."

Without being able to comprehend just how close-minded, insensitive and ignorant your father really was, he contined to add fuel to the fire of disgust and pure animosity inside, "You actually believe that kid likes you? That he thinks of you as a friend?"

'Yuri was squirming instantly to get you off of him, he was extremely uncomfortable and angered, he was annoyed and pissed off too, "GET OFF OF ME BASTARD!'

You had flinched and without your knowledge, your father smirked slightly to himself, "It's okay, we're friends." The words; as much as you hate to admit, weren't ones of a statement but more of an assurance to yourself. Yuri was your friend, right? You had been completely and wholeheartedly supporting him this whole time so it was a given. He just needed time

"Think about what you're saying! This is disgusting, you're a man and so is he- think about how embarrassed, how humiliated he must be."

His voice had an edge to it, he was acting sly but all your mind could focus, revolve around, was the words leaving his rotten and deceitful mouth, "I don't care as long as I'm beside Yuri, I don't mind at all being his friend! I'll do anything to stay with him."

"And how do you think he'll feel with a boy like you hovering over him? Saying those things and looking at him how- how a man is supposed to look at his wife!"

Without noticing at all, water had fallen off of the edge of your eye lashes. The damp lashes were coated with drips of salty water but your voice remained strong, a vein prominent on your forehead when your mother watched completely gobsmacked and guilty of the events occuring. Biting your lips hard, you grinded your teeth and hated yet loved how you couldn't stop thinking about Yuri.

'Don't you dare think of jumping or even touching me ever again!'

'.. Leave me alone!"

Was Tetsuya... Was Tetsuya right? Yuri wasn't focused on dating, that much was clear thanks to Viktor but that didn't matter when only standing by him was enough for you. But was even that okay? Maybe Yuri really was humiliated by you or being with you but your love for him was so overpowering, it was so intoxicating and strong that you didn't know what else to do. Maybe Yuri really didn't see you as a friend or anything along those lines. Would he even care if you had completely disappeared from his side?

Tears showered down your face but your expression was still neutral despite the lip-biting and the protruding vein in your forehead. You had always been so confident in your love for Yuri Plisetsky.

But skating meant so much more and perhaps it was time to let him do what he needed to do, for him.

"Alr-" The phone in your pocket vibrated nonstop. You had ignored it until it rang once again, messages and calls came through as the screen flashed the names of Yuuri, Viktor and then a sneaky text from Yuri.

Without wasting a second, you sniffled and roughly rubbed your face half-dry with your arm as your jumper absorbed the tears, 

'where are you? the competition will start soon'

After reading over Yuuri's text, Viktor sent another about twenty minutes later as it shocked you to think that you had been in your house for so long, 'yuri is starting, both of them are wondering where you are'

'bastard you missed my skating- not that it matters. that fat piggy won so im leaving.'

Your heart had fallen into your stomach and the screen changed to reveal Yuuri's name, calling you as you stared at the mobile before promptly putting it on silent before burying it in your pocket. Another wave of tears came through and leaked down your face as you sniffled, the only sounds in the room being that and your own mothers sniffling.

'Don't touch me, you're disgusting!'

'Gross, leave me alone!'

'Stop that, you're creeping me out.'

Despite everything that had happened, Sota's words would still roll through your mind making you crumble, wishing you'd sink into the couch and disappear but instead, you looked forward and opened your mouth, "Alright."

'He isn't gay, [Name].'
