I don't own Free! or YOI
Three years had passed since the events of the Grand Prix where Yuuri won silver. Yuuri and Victor had been married for two years. Both of them were now retired, and they alternated between staying in Russia and Japan..
One day, while they were walking around Fukuoka, they saw five little boys on the street, who couldn't ahve been older than two or clothes were torn and dirty, but their faces were bright. Victor was especially struck by a pang of sadness. He had always led a rich, privileged life and had never really seen poverty.
An elderly woman who was watching them smiled at the couple sadly. 'They were the sons of four of my dearest friends.' she said. 'One day, the five of us and our husbands went on a trip by bus. The kids were at school. We got into an accident and I was the only one of us who survived. I took the kids in, but I do not have much money and so it is difficult to provide for them. Especially since I lost my job.'
Yuuri and Victor were both immensely saddened by the story.
Later, Victor told Yuuri 'Yuuri, let's adopt those kids.' Yuuri was surprised 'We can't adopt all of them, Victor.'
'But, Yuuri. Just think of them growing up like that, without proper clothes to wear, and food to eat and...'
Yuuri kissed Victor on the cheek. 'Victor, tell you what, we'll adopt two of them, and we'll sponsor the others by sending that woman money.
'That's a great idea, Yuuri!' Victor said, kissing his husband.
Later, they Skyped with Chris. Chris was really excited when they heard the news. 'Hey, my husband and I were talking about adoption as well.' he said. 'We would like to take in one of those kids.'
'Haru. Ready to come with your new daddies?' Victor said. The boy shyly hid behind his brown-haired friend as Victor and Yuuri signed the adoption papers for Haru and Makoto. Chris and his husband did the same for little Rei.
'I have a request for you.' the woman who used to take care of them said. 'Please let them keep their original surnames. Do not change them to Katsuki, Nikiforov or Giacometti. I want their biological families to be remembered.
The skaters and Chris's husband agreed as they took the three orphaned boys to loving homes.
Five years later
Victor, Yuuri, Phichit, Yurio, Otabek, J.J and Chris were in Hasetsu for an ice-show. Yurio and Otabek had recently married.
After the ice-show, the seven of them decided to head out for a day out in Fukuoka. Yuuko and Nishigori had agreed to babysit Haru and Makoto.
'Isn't the place where you adopted Haru and Makoto from near here?' Phichit asked.
'Oh, yeah.' Yuuri said. 'hey, how about we go to visit little Nagisa and Rin?'
Everyone agrees, so they went to visit them, and they were in for a shock.
The old woman had lost all her hair and looked deathly pale. 'Cancer.' she said, as a way of explanation. 'I have less than a year to live. I just need to find someone to look after Nagisa and Rin, so that I can die in peace.
That night, Yuuri and Victor couldn't help hearing some arguing going on from the next room.
'Yuri, be practical. We are not retired like Yuuri and Victor. One kid we might be able to handle, but two?'
'We can't just leave one there.' Yuri said.
'What's the matter?' Victor asked, popping in.
'Yuri and I are thinking of adopting one of those kids.' Otabek said. 'But Yuri says it is unfair to leave one alone like that. And I agree. But what can we do?'
'It's J.J style!' J.J exclaimed, entering the room. 'Isabella and I were discussing how cool it would be for Gou to have an older brother.'
Gou was the daughter of J.J and his wife Isabella. She was named after a character from Isabella's favorite TV show.
The skaters looked at each other. 'Well, that's settled, then.
A/N: Chris's husband is that mysterious guy who calls Chris in one of the episodes. I can't remember which. Also, this fic is not meant to be realistic.
