Hello and thank you very much midnightsky0612 for the review and everybody who favorited and is following Shaw we Skate and my other YoI fic, Fashion! On Ice. I'm so happy! I fixed some mistakes in the chapter before, so check again to a better reading. Now, here's another chapter.
...
Victor approaches the arena, being enchanted with the music of the program of Phichit Chulanont. Something in it reminds him of the voice that helped him moments before, in what he perceives to be the same voice as the singer. He closes his eyes and lets the music flow in his mind, as if she's singing to him. She was telling him to stop worrying and having fun with his dancing. Something that he failed to do when he decided to try to surprise the audience.
To his surprise, Chulanont gets the 99.3 rating, ranking first in the current ranking. Now, as the last skater today, Victor finds himself eager to skate. If the girl who helped him is there, obviously she's on the bleachers, watching the performances.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Victor Nikiforov with the original song '' For you. ''
Sliding and already getting into the starting position in the middle of the arena, Victor begins to slide in a sequence of jumps and delicate steps when the violin and piano start to play.
"It's a beautiful song, though sad. Is Nikiforov feeling lost and uninspired to keep competing? "
"Can be. With four gold medals in a row, I wonder if there's anything to expect from him yet. "
Victor becomes distracted by what he hears, missing a jump and a sequence of steps. He soon completes the program, being applauded by the public.
"Vitya, what the hell was that?" - Yakov asks, red with anger, when he sees him approaching.
"I'm sorry, Yakov." He says, scaring the technician and going through it, heading for the notes location.
The result makes him frown. 99.5, making him overcome Chulanont and getting first. For the first time in 3 years, Victor Nikiforov does not reach 100 points in the short programs.
"Yakov, I'm tired, so deal with the press for me." Victor asks, head down, making his fringe slide to the front of his face.
Walking through the halls, he decides to look for the Thai skater and ask about the singer of his music. He is surprised by his own stubbornness in finding her, wishing to be able to thank him for his help. Giving his famous smile to the people who stopped him to congratulate him, he began to feel impatient until he saw the skater pulling selfies with his fans and talking at the entrance to the skaters' restroom. He felt happy that the talk is about his program's music.
- "... Magic of Music is a song made by a great friend. I tried my best for the song, but it did not seem to be enough. Too bad she can not see me skating, but I'm very happy to be able to skate something created by her."
'Can not you see him skating'? But she's here in the tournament. Did he made a mistaken?
"Do you know KY?"
"Yes. But I promised her not to reveal anything else. Only if you listen to her songs, be quick as I believe the videos will be removed from Youtube soon. Look for 'KY and Perfect World'." The skater says, waving and moving away from them.
Without wasting time, Victor goes to where his things are, greeting Otabek Atlin and Michele Crispino quickly. He searches for his cell phone and his earphones. With the earphones in him and connected in his phone, he accesses YouTube, and searches for 'KY Perfect World''. He opens the first video, with an animation of pink flowers, and widens his eyes with what he hears.
I usually create the perfect world.
Around me, all the time, here
A world where I can meet
With you, my love that is far away
To be able to hold your hand
To be able to see your smile
I usually create the perfect world.
To be able to say what I feel
I'm looking for a way to move on.
Dreaming, wanting, wanting, suffering
Even though it is not so that you
Wonder how I feel now
I usually create the perfect world.
No matter, I can not help it anymore.
I'm going to collect the pieces, one by one.
Of love that survives in the distance
To be able to caress your hair
To be able to hug and kiss who I love
I usually create the perfect world.
To be able to say from the heart
To be able to continue loving you
To be able to carry on with you
I usually create the perfect world.
To be able to say 'I love you'
Yes, it's the same voice. But did not the Thai skater know of her presence? When he opens the next video, he is surprised to see that the video was deleted by the owner of the channel, as he had warned. And now, even the one he had heard.
"Damn it." He curses, punching the closet door.
Taking a deep breath, he decides to send a message to the owner of the channel.
"Hello. My name is Victor Nikiforov and I am a skater. I wish I could get in touch with KY to try creating a song for my next year. I want to meet her. Thanks."
Taking a deep breath, he waits for Yakov to go to the hotel and sleep. Tomorrow is the day of the free program and it needs to show to others that it may still surprise.

When Victor Nikiforov announces, I stand, eager for the music and the performance. Although I do not see it, I can distinguish the sounds of the skates and their position, thus determining where it almost certainly is. But doing it in a place with many voices, other than the commentators, is quite tiring. With my headphones, you can muffle the sound, but that means blocking everything. I am surprised to hear a beautiful song in violin and piano, but my heart aches when I realize that he was not skating well.
"Minako-sensei. I'm sick." I say, reaching for her arm in my right side. - "Let's go back to the hotel."
"But Yuuri, Victor has barely begun ..."
"It's a beautiful song, though sad. Is Nikiforov feeling lost and uninspired to keep competing? "
"Can be. With four gold medals in a row, I wonder if there's anything to expect from him yet. "
I get scared by the loud howls and top my ears with the headphones, and I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and I calm down at the soft perfume of Minako-sensei. She starts to walk, pulling me slowly until I feel the sounds drift away.
"Sensei, I need to go to the toilet." I say, squeezing her hand.
Washing my hands and my face, I wipe it with the sleeves of my coat. Beside me, I hear Minako-sensei moving the cell phone.
"Are you erasing the videos?" I ask, taking off my bonnet and loosening my long hair.
"Unfortunately." - She replies. "But I care for my reputation."
"Really? When you're drunk, that's not what I think." I say, laughing. "Sensei, I think it best not to come tomorrow.
"I also think so. I'll prepare a sleeping pill and a pain medicine for you when we get there." She speaks, and I take a deep breath.
"I'm sorry. I know you wanted to watch Victor's performance until it's over." I say, lowering my head. "I wanted to ..."
She hugs me again, scaring me a little.
"It's all right. I should imagine that it would be difficult for you with your condition." She says.
I hear the notification noise from her cell phone, followed by more. She then laughed.
"Phichit-kun said he warned people about KY's videos and that Victor listened." She speaks, making me bow down.
"So?" I ask, coolly.
"Maybe he can see one of your videos." She says, and again I hear the notification noise. "What?"
"What is it?"
"Victor wants to get in touch with you. He wants a new song for next year." - I listen.
I sigh, listening to her tinkling on her cell phone.
"If you accept it, you can say bye-bye to your cell phone."
"Wow, Yuuri! I just want to help you realize your dream!"
"My dream ... can not be fulfilled." I say, taking two steps back, putting on my glasses. - "I'm going."
"Waiting! Yuuri! You do not know the way! I'm sorry, Yuuri!"
I put my headphones in my ears and from my backpack, pull back and unfold my metal stick, following him to the exit according to my memory. I stay with the headphones to the hotel room, without hearing anything. But in my mind, I remember 'For You'. One thing is right. I want to sing. I want to sing for Victor Nikiforov.
"Sensei." - I say. "Call Sora and Kenjiro and tell them that when we get back, I want to talk to them about S.K.Y."
"Are you really leaving then? I know there's still time for your surgery, but try to ..."
"Sensei." I interrupt her. "I changed my mind."
"What?" - She asks.
"S.K.Y. will remain the same." I say, and she screams with happiness, making me cover my ears with my hands.
...
From guitar to hand, connected to Minako-sensei's notebook that has an open recording program (I hope so) and with a headphone in my head, I take a deep breath before starting to play the song from Victor's program: 'For You', Completely changing her rhythm and adding lyrics.
...
That night, Minako decides to post the song on YouTube with every thing else too.
Submit the videos to Victor Nikiforov.
And accept his request.
But she forgot to tell a friend of the girl that is always online in every social media (Phichit) not to tell Yuuri.
