Author's Note: Welcome to the madness of this fic. Enjoy your stay, hold on to your butts. This will be the only time I'll mention this unless it changes. I'm so used to AO3 lately, I forgot no tags here kind of sucks.
Partially canon compliant with deviations. A good part of the gang is all here. Vicchan is still dead. No other deaths (so far). Rated T for now, may change in future chapters. No triggers than I can think of. Besides stupid. But you can't fix stupid. Stupid Viktor.
I'm a big fan of taking a literal minute and leaving a review if you enjoy what you read. Reviews are the payment of fic writers. This story is already started on AO3 but now I'm cross posting. This is the secondary location of the story and may be updated later than AO3. Head there if you want updates sooner.
.One.
9:18 am
Yuuri, please talk to me. Did I do something wrong?
9:22am
Yuuri? :(
10:12am
Who is this?
10:15am
Don't be silly. I know I put my number in your phone.
Are you mad at me?
10:20am
I'm not…mad. Vitya?
10:21am
Yes, Yuuri?
10:23am
Nothing.
I'm just. Upset.
10:25am
At myself.
10:30am
What happened?
Can I ask? I want to help you…
10:45am
Yuuri?
10:51am
I did a major figure skating competition and came in dead last.
I messed everything up in my programs. Fell more times than I care to think about.
10:53am
I was more than a hundred points behind the winner.
I'm just a dime a dozen figure skater for Japan. I think I'll just retire and do everyone a favor.
11:00am
What are you saying?! NO!
Do not quit! You're lovely on the ice!
11:01am
I'm watching videos of you right now. You're wonderful!
The Japanese Nationals are coming up, yes?
11:05am
Yeah. They're almost two weeks away.
I spend more time on my ass than upright on the ice. I'm not any good.
11:06am
Are you calling me a liar?
11:06am
NO!
11:07am
I don't wax false praise and brown nose. If I say you have talent, then you do.
Trust your Vitya.
11:09am
...my Vitya?
11:09am
Yes. Your Vitya, Yuuri. Since that night.
11:15am
Who are you?
11:21am
Do you really not know who I am?
You don't have to play coy…
11:23am
I feel really bad about this. I honestly don't know who you are.
11:24am
Where did we meet?
I don't know when I wouldn't have had my phone and I don't remember letting someone else put info in.
11:45am
I hurt your feelings.
I'm so sorry.
I want to remember.
11:50am
Vitya.
11:55am
Vitya.
I'm sorry.
I'm awful.
12:03pm
I'm sorry, Yuuri. A colleague of mine came asking questions and I had to give them my attention.
12:05pm
I am upset. But not at you. Not really.
The situation, thinking back, calls for this.
It was the most insane night. But the best night of my life.
12:07pm
I mean. I got to know you, Yuuri.
12:10pm
I'm still awful for not remembering who you are.
Can you send me a photo?
12:12pm
Will you send me one?
:)
12:15pm

Sorry about the background.
I was helping with the onsen my parents run when this was taken.
That's my sister in the back.
12:17pm
You're adorable, Yuuri. How old is this photo?
Your sister looks nice, too.
12:19pm
What's an onsen?
12:20pm
An onsen is like a Japanese hot spring!
Ours is really nice and it's the last one in Hasetsu, where I'm from.
12:21pm
I'm in Detroit right now. My home rink is here, with my rink mates and my coach, Celestino.
12:25pm
Yuuuuurrriiii. Send me a photo of you now! That other photo was nice, but it looks really old. You looked like a teenager in it!
12:28pm
Well, I was. That was when I was 17.
I don't know if I have any recent photos that you wouldn't already find from the press online…
Hey. Where's your picture?
12:30pm
Take a selfie!
Selfie! Selfie!
You were adorable then, Yuuri. But I want that cute face now!
12:34pm
You're the worst.
12:35pm

I'm on my way back from class. I had a midterm right after coming back from my competition.
It's REALLY cold outside!
12:38pm
Look at those cheeks!
Bundle up, Yuuri!
12:40pm
My taskmaster is yelling at me. He says I need to work harder and be on the phone less.
Text me any time, Yuuri. When you're happy. When you're sad. Telling me about your day.
I want to know everything about you, Yuuri.
12:42pm
Let's get to know each other!
12:44pm
I guess that's okay?
When are you going to show me a picture of you?
A/N: More to come! Let me know your thoughts!
(FFnet's layout is dumb. For better layout of texts and emails, ya'll are better off at AO3 but if that site isn't your thing, stick around here.)
I think weekly updates should do the trick here.
