A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading. I am writing the next 6 or 7 chapter for today and the rest on December 12. I know nothing about Figure Skating so I'll write down the moves but that's it, anything else I can't do.

In this Yuuri was raised to speak Latin and Japanese and English and Russian so here are the meanings for the Latin words I found on language dictionary that he and others use:

Adfinitate Coniungitur- aunt

Cara- dear

Meteorum- Meteor

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuri on Ice! Nor do I want to, it would be horrible if I did.

Chapter One: Crushes and Coaches

Yuuri's POV

I looked at the news not surprised that my failings were on it. I get depressed easily so my coach told me to put it down. He wasn't wrong though, looking at it won't help me. I read the title out loud not surprised by it.

Katsuki tumbles!

Will this season be his last?!

I heard my name being called so I looked over. A camera flashed surprising me.

My name is Yuuri Katsuki! At present I am one of a 'dime a dozen' figure skaters. Currently I am 23 and I came in last at my first Grand Prix Final in the male competition. I don't care for medals however. I have too many gold in a box at home.

Today I was worried about Yuji Katsuke, my best friend who always skates drunk. Sounds odd huh? Oddly enough he's more sober drunk than he is sober, a better skater to.

I got a text from my aunt, it was about Yuji. I went to the bathroom hoping beyond hope it didn't happen again. "Hey adfinitate coniungitur, did something happen to Yuji?" I was really worried.

"We got the call an hour after you were done. I am so sorry cara" my vision blurred and I decided then and there that I was done.

"I am so sorry dear, I know how close the two of you were" my aunt said sadly. "Yeah well, I got to go, sorry you had to watch me mess up so many times" I said ending the call.

I covered my face with my hands missing my brother. Sobs racked my frame as I sat on the toilet. Why does this happen every time I skate at the same time a loved one does?

*Bam* the door shook as the sound jolted me from my crying. Did someone just kick the door? "Sorry about that" I apologized opening the stall door. When it was open an annoyed Yuri Plisetsky was who I saw.

He was the gold medalist for the Junior Grand Prix Final. The 'Russian Punk' is looking at me like I'm trash. It worries me greatly when he stares at me like that, I didn't show it though. I'm used to people looking at me like that.

"I'm competing in the Senior Grand Prix next year" his finger was in my face. "They don't need two Yuris in the same bracket. Useless skaters like you should retire" Yuri said annoyed with me.

He yelled in my face that I was a moron which I guess is true. I mess up a lot when I have something on my mind.

It was something I realized after Yurai Katsuke disappeared about eleven years ago. Going to meet with the coach we went to grab our stuff from the lockers.

"Yuuri Katsuki!" I turned at my name to see it was one of the newscasters. "Morooka…?" I was shocked and curious. He wouldn't call out like that unless he has something to say.

"It's way too early for you to retire! Don't give up so easily" he encouraged. "I'm taking a break" I lied. "What will you do when you graduate from college?" Morooka asked. "What are you talking about?

I already graduated from college" I was confused smiling softly. "How?! When?!" he was shocked but so was Celestino. "I got my Bachelor degree about May or June sometime.

I'll be going to a different college in January for a Masters" in design and in science. "Are you still going to train in Detroit?" Morooka questioned. "No… I have to go back to Japan" I told him looking away in sadness.

I looked out the window seeing a dog like Vicchan in a woman's arms. I heard a voice but not words.

The voice sounded familiar. When I turned around I saw it was Viktor.

He was talking to Yuri which is probably the word he said. He was warning Yuri about his Step Sequence which Yuri has a hard time with. Yuri didn't want to listen though and only told Viktor that he won so it doesn't matter.

I hope Viktor doesn't remember the party last year. Yuji made a fool of himself, or rather me, so I would be forced to ask Viktor to be my coach. Viktor hasn't made a move yet so I am hoping he forgot. I was embarrassing myself and I didn't even drink anything.

"You want a photo?" I didn't even realize I was staring before Viktor asked that. "N-No I'm fine, I-I'll be late for my Exam if I don't leave" I was frantic to answer and cursed my stuttering. I walked out of the building in a rush for fresh air. I was ignoring all that was going around me when I rushed out.

Time Skip: Next march

Taking the mask off my mouth as I went down the escalator I wondered how long I was away. I think it was five years since I was in Hasetsu. I was living with Yuji when we were in the same town, I was at least with family the remaining time.

I held back tears as I remembered my friend. When I reached the ground I was shocked stiff at seeing so many posters of me.

Sixteen or more if I counted right. All of them had me posing and writing that worried me.

We're Rooting for You!

Figure Skater from Hasetsu

Katsuki Yuuri!

What is all of this? I heard a familiar and scary voice call my name before I was frantic in turning around. I know she's going to be dissatisfied and scolding when she finds out I gained weight again.

And that I decided to quit figure skating. "Welcome back! You've been gone for five long years!" Minako cheered spinning before spreading out a banner. "That isn't necessary Minako! Why are you here?!" I asked frantic. I wasn't really surprised to see her here but I shouldn't have went on a binge at the airport.

"Smile would ya!" Minako said happily. I rubbed my hand down my face in annoyance and embarrassment. "Isn't that Yuuri Katsuki?" a woman asked.

"Looks like it is to me" I heard her, likely romantic relation of some kind, say. Please don't say anything I beg of you.

I got into a good online college before practicing Figure Skating after the funeral in Detroit. My aunt and uncle and cousin came to it so I was happy to see them. It's always fun to visit family. Even if you don't have much of one left.

I put my ticket in the gate walking through it. A young boy asked if he could shake my hand.

I agreed with a soft smile. It would be impolite to decline. I held my hand out and he shook it many times with enthusiasm. "Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me" I smiled.

"May I ask who you are again dear? My memory's not as good as it used to be" an older woman, likely his grandmother, asked. "He's Yuuri Katsuki grandma!" the young brunette exclaimed happily but poutily. "It's fine" I smiled ruffling the boys hair.

He was really happy and asked for an autograph. I was shocked when he pulled out a royal blue ink pen and a piece of paper. I was surprised that it was framed though. Minako dragged me out of the airport when I signed and shook.

"We need to greet everyone in town!" Minako told me. I wasn't going to do that. "Isn't it time you teach a Ballet class?" I was very hopeful that I was right.

"No, we're closed today" she turned her head to look at me. "We don't get many students anyway.

Hasetsu's losing more and more people every month. Barely any kids are skating anymore.

Having you back may cheer things up though" she sounded cheerful. Oh no, I was going to stop skating. I knew she'll be upset but now she'll be even more upset with me.

"I want to rest a bit actually" I told her. "Everyone's dying to see you though" Minako said when she stopped dragging me. She was disappointed. I felt bad for lying to her since I wanted to show Yuuko a routine I've been practicing.

Scene Change: Yu-Topia Katsuki

"I'm home" opening the door to my family's hot spring. "Hinako! We're home" Minako called. "Hey Minako! Thank you for getting him at the station" my aunt said running to us. "Welcome home! How are you dear?" Hinako asked cheerily making me smile softly.

"Fine, sorry I didn't come back sooner" I apologized. "None of that dear! I wish I could've been there for your graduation" Hinako said hands together. "Want a Pork Cutlet bowl cara?" Hinako asked.

"You look like you've lost weight" Minako told my aunt. "You're so sweet Minako" my aunt blushed before Minako turned to me.

"As for you Yuu-ri" I jumped at this. She's mad.

"What kind of bulge are you hiding under that heavy coat of yours?" I tip-toed away knowing I look suspicious. I was yanked back before my clothes were taken off. I ended up in just my white sweater, that was a bit too small, and my red sweat pants with a stretchy waist.

"You look just like your aunt Yuuri" my uncle said with a smile. Minako wasn't happy with my uncle laughing like he was. "This is no time for laughing!" Minako yelled. "A Figure Skater has to maintain a certain physique" Minako informed him.

"You gained weight effortlessly since you were young. Must've got that from your father" Toshiya told me. I frowned at this. Dad was an amazing couples skater with my mom nine years ago.

They were great at skating, legends really. "How many bowls should we make for you meteorum?" grandpa asked. I looked up at the nickname.

"Actually…" they knew what I wanted to say and told me I should. I went to Yuji's room which was turned into a kind of shrine.

Seeing Vicchan's photo I sat down in front of it. "I wish I could've seen you one last time boy, I am so sorry" hands together as I spoke.

I turned my head to see another picture on the left side of the room. It was like looking in the mirror. Only difference is that he had purple eyes and his black glasses were squarer and had white tape in the middle.

"I am so sorry Yuji, I wish I didn't skate that day" I apologized, hands together. There were shrines on each wall and there was one in the middle. Two were on either side of the door though because there was a window to my right. This became a shrine room five years ago.

"You came back after all. I'm sorry about your brother" I turned at the voice. It was Mari at the door. "It's fine, it was gonna happen someday" I turned to look at Vicchan before speaking again.

"The place looks busy, I hope I'm not interrupting" I smiled sadly. "You're not, how long are you staying?" Mari asked. "I don't know, probably a while" I answered slumping my shoulders.

"You don't want to continue skating competitively, do you?" she asked. I shook my head as an answer.

"Are you going to help out while you're here?" I turned and nodded. "What are you going to do with your degree?

There's not much you can do with your degree. We'd be fine you continued skating" she told me.

"I can do a lot with my Minor at least. I'm going to an online college to get my Masters anyway" I told her standing up. "Soak in the hot spring before you start working though, you could use it" Mari left after that.

Kyushu used to have a lot of hot spring inns but people have been moving a lot recently. My family's hot spring is the only one left that hasn't gone under. It's run by my aunt and uncle and my cousin. They're from my mother's side and know nothing of Figure Skating despite my family being famous for it.

Soaking in the hot spring was a good idea, I'm glad Mari convinced me to go in. When I went back in I overheard Hinako. She wanted me to qualify so I could give her the skaters' room numbers. "So?

You support me to make it easier for you to stalk good-looking skaters?" I had my suspicions but now I know they were right. "That's only one of the reasons" Minako defended before I saw Viktor. "Besides," Minako smirked. "Don't you have a crush on Viktor?" she asked slyly.

She knew I did so I don't know why she's asking. I did feel my face heat up at it though. "You're so obvious Yuuri!" Minako laughed holding her sides.

I don't think it's that funny. Soccer was on so I was saved from even more embarrassment.

Minako tried getting the remote back but the older man is agile. My uncle opened the shutters asking about the soccer match in excitement.

"You'll get in trouble if you don't keep working" the same man warned. He is right though. I ran outside wanting to go to Ice Castle.

"Heading out already dear?" Hinako asked. "Yeah, I want to practice something" I answered running off. I ran across the street before running across the bridge. There's a lot of sights here in Hasetsu but there not as appealing to those who grew up here.

Scene Change: Ice Castle

Hearing the familiar bell I asked if anyone was here. "We're closed! Come back tomorrow!" Yuuko called. "Hey" I greeted touching the tile with the tip of my shoe, repeatedly. "Long time no see Yuuko" I smiled a little nervous.

"Is that you Yuuri?" I nodded slowly at the question. "Stop standing like a stranger and tell me how you've been!" she was ecstatic and jumped to the counter. I jumped at how close she was now.

"I've been well" I answered before she spoke in excitement again. "You came to skate so go right ahead!" she smiled making me nod.

"I'll make sure you're not interrupted I promise" she promised. I gave her a grateful smile when she sealed the promise with a wink.

Yuuko was my rink mate and two years my senior. A real great skater that I idolized when we were younger. She has three kids and a bulky husband who runs this place with her. Her kids are Skate Otaku so I don't want to see them today.

Takeshi, her husband knocked me down when we were little. It was when I first started out though so it was years ago. Had to move about three months later for my parents' skating.

I had moved back two years later and Yuuko wanted to show me something. We all saw a skating competition on TV where I saw Viktor skating. Yuuko was excited about it and I was to. I got my 'unique' skating idea from him.

We tried to skate that same routine and it went well. The next week Yuuko showed me an article about him. My mom let me get a poodle like Viktor's so I was really happy. I remember Yuuko saying that the poodle was cute, he was to.

I told her I named him Vicchan. I had told her I named him that after Viktor which is why she I was Viktor's number one fan. I moved again and Yuji and Yuta and Sabella taught me to skate everywhere we went.

Scene Change: Skating Rink

I gave Yuuko my black muse monique rectangle glasses before speaking. "I want to show you something" I smiled glad I can show her sooner than I thought.

I want to tell her I'm going to stop competing after this. "Alright! I can't wait!" Yuuko told me.

She excited and curious and anxious making me smile. I went to the middle of the rink and took a breath. I've been practicing it for a month or two and I think I have it down.

I closed my eyes head down when I heard the music, picturing Viktor skating his routine in my head. I made sure to listen to the music as I copied the movements I remembered. I can skate with my eyes closed easily. That's what I did as I kept the expressions on my face.

Quadruple Lutz

Quadruple Flip

Flying Sit Spin

Quadruple Salchow

Triple Lutz

Triple Flip

Quadruple Toe Loop

Triple Toe Loop

Combination Spin

When I finished the routine I was breathing a bit heavy. I really do need to increase my stamina again. That was really bad. I had completely forgotten where I was before I heard crying.

I jolted my head to the right and saw Yuuko with tears at the corners of her eyes. "You're amazing Yuuri! You were a perfect copy of Viktor!" she was ecstatic. "I thought you would be depressed" Yuuko said and I nodded.

"I was but only because of Yuji, he is my twin after all" I told her. "I can't wait to see you at the next Grand Prix!" she was really excited.

"I actually want to tell you something about that" I said skating closer to her. I grabbed my glasses when I reached her.

I skated back a few steps when her triplets appeared. They scared me. Axel, Lutz, and Loop have grown since you last saw them huh?" Yuuko asked making me nod.

Axel: "You got fat Yuuri!"

Loop: "You're retiring?!"

Lutz: "You've never had a girlfriend"

Loop was the only one to get it right. I knew about what Axel said so it didn't bother me. What Lutz said didn't either since I like Viktor and no one else. I don't even know who my bond mate is so I wouldn't have one anyway.

"HEY!" Yuuko yelled as I put my glasses on. "Ignore them Yuuri" Yuuko said trying to distract me from their comments. I didn't mind them since they were all true. It was going to take a while to get my skating figure back though.

"I'm telling you," an arm was around my shoulder before the voice continued. "Those three are some of your biggest fans" Takeshi finished. "You're chunkier than me" Takeshi pulled up my royal blue shirt hitting my stomach like a drum after that.

"Come on stop it" I complained as the triplets snapped multiple pictures. "Come by to practice anytime.

Our family is always behind you" Takeshi said hands on Loop and Axel's head. Axel was holding a white camcorder and Lutz a cell phone.

I had a bad feeling when it came to the camcorder. "You can do it Yuuri!" "Work hard!" "Lose weight!" I wasn't surprised by the last one. It made me chuckle softly as I nodded.

Time Skip: April 10

I continued jumping on one leg on a balance beam, it was just a log of wood though. If I end up skating before I tell anyone else that I'm quitting I'll continue for a while. I don't know how long but it'll be for a while. I headed home when I saw the sun setting.

I was watching the news on the up and coming skaters when I saw Yuri skating. I wasn't surprised by the jumps he performed. They went on to say that Yuri would soon join the same ranks as Viktor. It was dark again, or well night time when I went to my room.

I had three mannequins along the wall to the right of my bed. They're for the costumes I'm making. The middle mannequin however had a copy of Viktor's costume in that competition I watched with Yuuko.

It was exactly the same except for the size, it was my size. I heard the chime of my phone when I sat down looking at my sewing machine.

Slide to View

Text from Takeshi Nishigori

Picking up the phone I was surprised to see it was from him. I slid the screen to view the text finding something that made me jump.

Yuuri Katsuki

Tried to Skate Viktor's FS Program

'Stay Close to me'

That's not good, I knew I had a bad feeling about the camcorder. "I'm really sorry Yuuri. I don't know how the girls uploaded it but it's already gone viral" Takeshi said softly.

I heard Yuuko yelling at the triplets in the background. I turned off my phone not believing this. Actually I do believe it but I wish it was a dream. I fell on my floor blacking out.

Time Skip: Next Day

I woke to knocking on my door when my aunt spoke. "You can't sleep all day Yuuri! Come help shovel the snow" Hinako called. There shouldn't be snow in Kyushu right now. I got up drawing the curtains a little bit.

I was shocked to see that there was snow. I grabbed my phone off the floor seeing that I have a few missed calls. I went to put on my red faux-fur padded jacket grabbing the shovel on the way.

Hearing a dog barking I opened the door just to be knocked down by a brown poodle. The poodle looked familiar so I stroked his head as I remembered.

"Looks just like Vicchan doesn't 'e? This dog here belongs to a young, strapping, new guest.

He's in the spring right now" my uncle said shocking me. I got up waving 'bye' to the dog. I ran to the springs stopping at the indoor spring.

I quickly wiped the fogginess from my glasses not seeing him. I ran to open the door to the outdoor spring finally finding him. "W-What are you doing here Vi-Viktor?" I asked in shock before he stood. "Today forward Yuuri… I'm your new coach" he announced shocking me.

"You're going to get to the Grand Prix Final, you are going to win" I didn't know what to say to that. Didn't know how to respond when he winked at me. My knees felt weak and I thought I was going to collapse. Please tell me he didn't remember that promise?

A/N: Hello, I finished writing this at 2:45 P.M. on November 1, 2017.

I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading.
