So, I just had the idea for this fic. I've always believed that Yuuri's family don't really care about Viktor's status as a legendary skater, but are genuinely fond of him and love him because he makes Yuuri happy.
I don't own YOI.
I don't know much about figure skating, but I do enough to know that Yuuri's performance was near perfection. I was so proud of him.
Vi-chan seemed really proud of him as well. He ran to the ice, presumably to give him a congratulatory hug.
Then, there was a collective gasp.
Viktor Nikiforov had just kissed my son on the lips.
Viktor had kissed my son. In public. With thousands watching.
I watched carefully in order to gauge Yuuri's reaction. He seemed stunned, but also happy.
I did not know how to feel about this. I had always known there was something between the two of them. Ever since Viktor had turned up in Hasetsu, he had been rather flirty with my son. I used to be worried about how he would take it. Having idolized him for years, it was quite natural for him to be rather overwhelmed.
I supposed I was happy for him. I liked Vi-chan. He seemed to be a nice guy. And he cared so much for Yuuri.
I liked having him around. Over time, we had gotten used to his exclamations of Vkusno, his good-natured teasing of Yuuri and his other antics. And there was Makkachin. He reminded us of Yuuri's dog, but he was also adorable in his own right.
I had always been concerned for Yuuri. He had always been really shy and introverted. He did not have that many friends. I had often wondered if he would be able to find a life-partner for himself. Of course, it was not like anything was certain right now, after all it was just a kiss and going by Minako-Senpai's reckoning, Viktor had probably kissed a lot of people. And Yuuri was just twenty-three. Of course, I had nothing against Yuuri remaining single. After all, Mari is thirty and single and perfectly happy with her life. However, Yuuri was not Mari. He was not as confident or easygoing. He needed someone to take care of him. And Vi-chan was the perfect person. At least, the Viktor I know was.
What if he turned out to be a different person inside? What if he ends up breaking my Yuuri's heart? No, Hiroko. Don't think that.
I smiled. The camera was now panning on the two of them caught in an embrace. They looked like soulmates.
I thought of all the times Yuuri had persuaded me to buy posters of Viktor for him when he was younger. How he sat in front of the TV with wide eyes whenever Viktor skated. How he persuaded Toshiya and me to get the puppy for him which he named him after Viktor.
Who would have thought the story of the two of them would end up like this? I just hoped their story would have happy ending.
