Yuri Katsuki POV

I waved bye to well, no one as I left my small studio apartment and headed to the dance studio, I don't actually know why I waved. I've always liked dancing well at least as far back as I can remember. It's one of the only things I can do without having to communicate with anyone. Unfortunately, I can't make a living out of my dancing since I'm way too nervous to dance in front of anyone. I always go to the dance studio late at night since no one is ever there then, the person who runs the studio, Minako, is a family friend so she gave me a copy of the key.

I unlocked the doors to the studio and turned on the lights, I changed out my street shoes and into my dance shoes which were really just tennis shoes that are clean and never leave the studio. I went over to the stereo and put in the disk I had burned my favorite songs onto and started the routine for the first song.

Since I didn't talk to anyone I choreographed my own programs, now that I think about it I hadn't actually talked to anyone but myself in about two months, that's sad even for me. If you're wondering how I get away with not talking to people, I work from home and the only time I leave is to come here or go to the store. I do have friends just not very many and they are busy actually having a life so I don't bother them. As for lovers, well let's not talk about that.

I finished the majority of my songs without breaking a sweat, I've practiced those two so much I don't even have to think about my movements anymore. It's this last song that starts to tire me out, I don't know why I choreographed it with so many flips or difficult movements as flips aren't my specialty but I enjoy the routine nonetheless, maybe it's because of the difficulty? I regained my focus after stumbling out of a double backflip and stuck to thinking only about my movements until the song ended.

Minako has asked me several times if I could help her teach classes but I don't think I'd be good at it. I can't even explain what I do to myself, how would I explain it to others. Also, it's Minako, she suggested I become a stripper once. I think she just wants me to get out of the house even if it means dressing in revealing clothing and going up and down on a pole with people throwing money that's been who knows where at me. Needless to say, I shot down that I idea almost immediately. Although that's not to assume I don't know how to dance on a pole, I've practiced all types of dancing at least all the ones I've heard of anyway. I even danced in front of people before, by people I mean Yuuko, Phichit, Minako, and Yurio.

I finished up all of my normal routines before deciding to practice my newest one that I still wasn't great at but I was making progress. I was dancing to Paradise by Coldplay and found it difficult to choreograph a program for the song in the first place but now that I had I was pretty proud of it. All-style dancing was my favorite type of dancing as I could mix up as many different dance styles as I want but still get to plan my moves ahead of time. I'm able to mix together to the creativity that street dancing holds with the elegance of ballet at the speed of a full-speed Tango without any boundaries or rules. I might sound like I'm over exaggerating it but All-style really is my favorite type of dancing.

I finished up going over my last routine several more times until I felt like I had a good handle on it and then decided to get ready to leave once I realized I'd been here for almost four hours and it was almost five in the morning, I'll probably run into Minako on the way out at this point. Normally I end up leaving before Minako gets here to start her early lessons but on some occasions such as this one I get carried away and stay longer than intended.

"Hey Yuuri! I haven't seen you in awhile, actually I don't think anyone has, care to explain?" Minako asked accusingly.

"W-well you know I j-just don't get out much." I stuttered.

"Oh trust me, I know." Minako replied with a blank stare. "You need to get a new job, one that requires you to leave your house more." She said, Minako tends to do this whenever I go awhile without seeing her. "I got you an application to work at a cafe just down the street from here, I want you to at least apply."

"Minako I don't like doing jobs like this where I have to be social." I complained.

"I know which is exactly why you need to apply for this, you're twenty three Yuuri don't you think it's time to stop hiding from everyone?"

"I don't know Minako, that'd be a lot different from what I do now."

"You know I also have an application for that gay club that Chris works at." She said smirking.

"Ok ok fine I'll apply for the cafe!" I said quickly trying to shut that conversation down before it even fully started.

"Great! I'll see you later Yuuri." Minako said as I walked out the door and back to my apartment. Wow, not even six in the morning yet and this day is already strange.
