As I Look On (Otabek Altin)

Right after the Grand Prix finals Yuri Plisetsky decided to face his confusing

feelings for another ice skater, Yuuri Katsuki. He might be in for a heartbreak

as he visits Japan and to give him support Otabek Altin, a fellow skater came

with him.

Victor Nikiforov, in preparation for his return in the active competition, went

back to St Petersburg. But he's bothered by the lack of communication from Yuuri

who's visiting Japan before following him.

Chapter 1 As I Look On

I'm so proud of him. He's a strong person inside and outside of the rink. He's

ever beautiful right now standing in the middle of the podium with that golden

medal. Yuri Plisetsky.

I wanted to personally congratulate him so I looked for him after the ceremony.

I found him at the kiss and cry. Standing there looking at something. As I come

nearer I found Victor and Yuuri Katsuki in a tearful embrace. The look on Yuri's

face broke my heart. He's obviously shaken and didn't know what to do.

"Yuri?" I called out as I approach him.

"Otabek..." He seems lost still.

I stood in front of him to block his view, that seemed to give him a chance to

compose himself.

"I was looking for you so I can congratulate you. You are amazing." He smiled up

at me, looking thankful.

"Treat me to a meal then." He turned to walk out, not waiting for me.

I looked to see that Victor's attention is still with Katsuki. He never even

noticed Yuri.

As we walked down the street I asked him of his plans after the GP finals.

"There's a one month break before Yakov wants me back for training in St

Petersburg. I'm not sure what to do before then."

He still looked somber. There's this far away look in his eyes that I can't

explain.

He smiled as he remembered something. "There're some friends I wanna visit in

Japan. When I was there, I've met some of Yuuri's friends and family and became

close to them. I think I'll drop by."

Talking seems to cheer him up a bit. "I'm not sure what to do before I go back

to Kazakhstan. I'll probably visit my family as well and stay there for a bit."

It's been a while since I've seen them as well.

"Oh I know you can come with me. Hasetsu is a beautiful place. Come on let's go

together!"

It sounds like a great idea and with those laughing eyes staring up at me I

don't really want to disappoint him.

"OK, OK, I'll check my training schedule." I laughingly promised him.

I watched him shake the emotions that took him earlier. As we eat he started to

laugh more genuinely. I'm glad I found him when I did. He seems so young now

eating and laughing.

" I guess Victor will be back to St. Petersburg as well in a month."

I observed him, checking if the same pain will show up on his face.

"Victor seems to be a constant for you," I ventured carefully.

"Since Victor has always been someone better I can look up to, someone who's at

the top. I wanted to overcome him. I was lost for a bit when he decided to take

a break. But it gave me more purpose when I met Katsuki through him."

There's this smile that came over his face at that last bit, a smile that

confused me even more.

We were talking quietly that we didn't notice someone approaches.

"Yurio, there you are." Yuuri Katsuki, and it doesn't look like he's with

Victor.

Yurio obviously didn't expect meeting Katsuki here. He looked out of sort once

again, nervous even.

As Katsuki take the other seat next to Yuri he nodded at me as a greeting.

"You guys left immediately after the ceremony. I was looking for you."

"Where's your owner, pig?" Yuri looks irritated now.

"He's not my owner." Katsuki gently corrected.

As I watch this exchange, I realized I was wrong earlier, it's not Victor but

this guy. His flustered face told me everything. And he's probably in for more

heartbreak if he's determined to go to Japan. Katsuki is dependent right now to

Victor and it's doubtful he'll notice what Yuri feels.

I thought, "Yuri why do you even want to go there? What are you hoping to gain?"

Yuri's laughter at something Katsuki said brought me back. He seems so happy

just talking to this guy that it tears me up inside as well that he can't have

him.

That decided it. I'll be in Japan if only to watch over you as you fall apart.
