A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuri on Ice! Nor do I want to, it would be horrible if I did.


Chapter Three: Decisions

Yuuri's POV

"First will be Yurio's program, On Love: Agape" Viktor posed. I smiled as he started since I haven't seen him skating a program in a while. The program was beautiful. I wonder if the 'russian punk' would be able to skate it.

"So what'd you think?" I smiled at how laid-back he was. "I got it, no problem" Yuri answered. Can he skate it properly is the question.

*Clap clap* "So beautiful" Yuuko smiled making me do the same. "Why is she watching" Yuri sniped.

"This is Yuuko, a co-owner of the ice rink" I smiled gesturing to her. "I shouldn't have interrupted, but it was so beautiful" Yuuko smiled blush still there.

"Pay attention to this one Yuuri" Viktor called making me nod. I smiled as the music started. His moves were like flowing water.

The smirk/smile however made my heart skip a beat. I jumped when I saw blood spurting from my right. I grabbed the towel next to me for her holding it to her nose as I watched. How he's dancing is something like how I used to.

I watching the program so intently I didn't even realize I was on the ice. "What'd you think?" I looked at Viktor, his expression seemed hopeful but not. "It was the definition of eros" I smiled head tilted. "I know right?

Now for the composition" he said hand on hip. "What quads can you land?" I frowned at this before I named a few. I can land all of them, with and without my eyes closed.

I haven't done that in a while though so I'm not saying it. "What do you think I should do?" I asked quickly wanting to stop talking.

I was embarrassing myself. I know he doesn't like me like that, he's just comfortable around people.

"Stick to the fundamentals" Viktor told me. "I'll teach Yurio first since there's no point wasting time on something you can't do. Yurio needs help to" Viktor explained.

I nodded since he's right. "How many times have you choked during a competition?" I didn't answer because it was too many. I also don't think he actually wants an answer. He just wanted to prove a point.

I want to prove him wrong, but I don't know if I should. "You've shown the skill necessary to win so why don't you?" I don't need gold. I don't need to win. I want to set records, I don't need more gold medals and trophies.

"I have little confidence when it comes to skating in front of people" especially when I know Viktor is watching. The themes weren't ones I was comfortable in doing. Or they were ones I was comfortable with but I didn't think people, Viktor, would like.

My chin was lifted so I looked up. "Unleash your eros Yuuri, maybe no one's seen it but I can tell it's there" Viktor spoke.

My heart thumped loudly in my chest when his thumb touched my lip. He's too close! "What are you doing?!" thank you Yuri.

"You're supposed to be helping me train not talking to the piggy!" he yelled again. "As you train I want you to think" Viktor said. He really is beautiful.

"I want to know what eros is to you" Viktor told me. I nodded debating on whether to tell him, show him or neither. I don't want to do something I may regret later. I went to the locker room stretching on a mat on the floor.

"You're in basic training because you don't understand eros?" I frowned at what he said. I understand it fine, had no choice until eight years ago. "It has more to do with the fact I can't land quads in a competition" I explained leaning down. I touched passed my toes when Takeshi pushed on my back.

I did a lot of stretching in Detroit and became more flexible than I was when I was fourteen. "The triplets said you landed quads really well in the past. Did a lot of programs with your eyes closed to, you never hit a wall" Takeshi reminded.

I frowned but didn't answer. "I can imagine a story about it when I remember the program" I smiled seeing it in my head.

Women fall for the new playboy in town left and right. The most beautiful of the women he decides to pursue turns him away. He continues on the pursuit with gifts, flattery, and promise. She gives in but the man loses interest and pushes her away. He moves onto the next town.

"Good story! Doesn't sound like you" Takeshi said making me fall over. I didn't know I was telling the story out loud! Or that I was acting it out.

"I know it doesn't" it would make more sense if I was the girl who makes the playboy chase her. I stood up patting my pants annoyed that there were tiny rocks from outside sticking to them. "Anyone who watches it will wish Viktor was skating it" I frowned.

He'd make a better playboy than I would. Men and women chase him all over the place because they want something from him. "You did look sexy in that video when you copied him" Takeshi said. "Please tell me you're joking?

That was terrible and no one likes a copier" I said blandly, embarrassed by that display. "I won't get…" his attention like that. "Are you saying you could be better than him" I should've finished with something besides the truth. "No! that's not what I'm saying" I frowned waving my arms frantically in front of me.

"How many dates have you had?" I froze at this. A lot but not in the way he's thinking. "You do know he's the hottest skater in the world, don't you?" Takeshi asked.

He was laughing at me now. I went to the rink to watch Viktor and Yuri for a bit.

I wasn't surprised when Viktor said 'stop!' repeatedly. "Something doesn't feel right" he said wistfully.

"I'm doing it like you showed me!" that doesn't make it right. Your expressions while you dance have to match what you're thinking of as you dance. Do you not love someone unconditionally Yuri?

"Your hunger for victory is way too obvious in how your skating. You have to express the purity that is agape" Viktor explained. "In the On Love: Agape program confidence should not be front and center. It is good to have but not right now" Viktor explained shocking Yuri.

"In how you skate!" Yuri started confusing me. This isn't about Viktor, this is about you. "Confidence is always at the front! Always at the center!" Yuri yelled. I can't see myself performing Agape or Yuri executing Eros.

Yuri asked what 'Agape' means to Viktor making me cover my mouth to hide a laugh. Agape and Eros are emotions. You can't understand them yourself until you feel them for yourself.

"When you skate it's how you feel not what you're thinking" it's the same in dance. I started dancing before I started skating and to me all skating is is dancing on ice.

Scene Change: Yu-Topia Hot Spring

In the hot spring I was surprised Yuri was actually out here. As I thought about what to think about when I danced, if I should change a few roles, Viktor came out.

Looking up I saw he had a phone with him. "I need a photo of myself so I can post it online. Can you help?" his eyes were closed so I wasn't sure who he was asking.

"There are no pictures allowed in the bath Viktor, privacy and all" I explained. He was shocked, as shown when he dropped the towel. At the dinner table when we got out I thought about everything that happened since he told me to think.

Should I tell him, show him or not do either?

It would make more sense if I was the girl who makes the playboy chase her.

He'd make a better playboy than I would

"I got it!" I smiled*. I didn't know I said it out loud before I looked at them. "Got what Yuuri?" Viktor asked. "Just an idea for Eros" I said looking away.

"Really?! Tell me!" Viktor looked excited. "Not happening" I frowned eating quickly. I ran to my room after I was done to finish another design.

There'll bound to be interviews or something if I continue skating with Viktor as my coach. I want to use one of my own designs at least.

Time Skip: Next Day

I was skating On Love: Eros as practice thinking about Sabella and Tracey and how they danced. I am not going to think about what I actually want to 'till 'Hasetsu on Ice!'. I don't want to ruin the surprise.

If Viktor stays I want to use the program as often as I can to improve and hope Viktor takes notice. "Come on Yuuri! Think about what you meant yesterday" I think Viktor's still annoyed that I never answered him.

He doesn't seem to like secrets being kept from him. I smiled at this before I thought of the story I originally/accidently told Takeshi.

Yurio was next when I got to the quads. I wasn't going to try to attempt them. "To the temple" Viktor wondered.

That worried Yuri and made him panic. "Just tell me what I'm doing wrong!" he can't do that. When you thought of Agape, what the composition meant to you, you didn't even try to mull it over. He can't teach what you won't try to ponder.

We continued training our bodies and practicing our respective programs. In one of the practices I fell. I was annoyed because I got a cut on my hand but my legs didn't want to move. It's on a different part of my body for pete's sake!

After a while we ended up in gi's, under a waterfall, hands together like in prayer. "I'll kill him" Yurio gritted out, irritated. "I wouldn't go that far but I'm here and I don't even know why" I had almost finished my suit. "This is stupid! Who believes in unconditional love anyway?" Yuri asked furiously.

"So you don't love a family member or companion without conditions?" I asked. I looked over after a while of unnatural silence. His eyes were closed; he had a smile on his face.

What I said must've triggered something. After five more minutes I grabbed his wrist calling his name.

His real name, not the one Mari gave him that everyone uses. I pulled him out from under the spray worried about him.

"Are you alright Yuri? You were daydreaming for a while" I asked softly. "Let's stop today, the good news is that I think you might've found Agape" I smiled.

"Alright" he commented softly. His whole face looked vulnerable, his eyes to. I was right, he found it. His sneeze was small before I grabbed a towel putting it around him.

He doesn't need to get sick, especially now. He put in too much work to get sick. "Where's Viktor anyway?" I smiled as he held the towel closer to his body. "He went to get dinner at Nagahama Ramen" I informed jumping slightly when he yelled we were going to.

Time Skip: One Day till Hasetsu on Ice!

"I wonder where Viktor is" I frowned looking at my watch. He still isn't here and it's around nine. "He stayed up drinking till dawn" I looked up to see that Yuri was now standing. "Yuri?" I asked hands folded in front of my face when I got his attention.

"Can you teach me to land a Quad Salchow?" I was barely begging. I know how but it's going to be hard for me to land one if I don't do it enough. I kept falling which aggravated Yuri when he agreed to teach me.

"I'll show you one more time but that's it" Yuri said irritated with me before the doors opened. "Sorry I'm late you two!" Viktor called as the door closed.

"What were you practicing just now?" he asked leaning on the rink's wall. I was going to answer but thought better of it.

Yuri and I skated away from each other going instead to have Yuri show Viktor what he has of his program. I smiled when Viktor spoke. "Maybe Yurio is ready for the next stage" was what he whispered to himself.

I wouldn't know what the next stage could be but costumes but I'm still trying to decide how to change small parts of the program. I won't be changing a lot or big parts, just enough to fit what I'm doing. I went to practice the original and decided to practice the revised one later today.

Scene Change: Yu-Topia Hot Spring

"What kind of costumes are you going to be wearing?" Minako asked drunkenly. She drinks way too much. "I have an idea but I'm not too sure about it" glancing at Viktor. The idea I had was wearing one of the costumes I made that is a copy of his.

It would be rude to wear it if he doesn't want me to. "I didn't bring anything" Yuri said before Viktor smiled. "Don't worry! I had all of my costumes from competitions flown from Russia" Viktor smiled. He held a peace sign with his fingers after he informed us of the action.

After we finished eating we went to my sister and her fiancé's room where the boxes were dropped off. We went through the boxes and I was gushing at all of them. I knew where he wore every single one.

"This is from the final of the Grand Prix!" I gushed holding up a black jacket. "Don't wear anything that is flashier than mine!" Yuri warned.

"You wore this one for the Junior Championship" it's the one I saw a little more than a decade ago**. It's the one I have a copy of in my room.

"Yeah it is, I had longer hair back then" Viktor answered. "The costume was designed to represent female and male genders simultaneously" he continued. I nodded really wanting to wear the one I sewed together but torn because I want to wear the original.

"Is this one okay for me to wear?" I smiled happy when he said yes. As I was going to do I went to Minako's place to ask her for her opinion. I think I'm rusty. I hadn't danced femininely in a while so I need a female's opinion.

"What?!" Minako asked irritably. I think I woke her up. "I know it's late but I need your opinion on something" I begged hands folded. She was shocked but let me in anyway.

Time Skip: Hasetsu on Ice!

A reporter was talking into a camera to my left while my nerves were a complete mess. "How are you feeling going into the competition?" the reporter asked us. "I'm nervous about the performance since I'm going against Yuri but I will do my best" I smiled.

"The sport does not need two Yuris" Yuri said making me frown. I don't see what that has to do with anything.

The reporter announced that they were going to see what Viktor thinks about the 'showdown'. "If you've never been to Hasetsu you're missing out!" Viktor cheered.

"Can you please put the fan down?" I asked before he put it over his mouth. "You're making this look like a publicity stunt" Yuri accused. Viktor was wearing an armored ninja costume and a sash that said: 'Hasetsu Tourism Ambassador'.

"We're starting soon so you best be ready to pick a winner" Yuri told Viktor irritably. He probably forgot about the deal so why mention it? "You're either going to be Yurio's coach in Russia or do whatever you want after" I smiled. "I did say that didn't I?" I was correct, he forgot.

"You forgot?" Yuri said irritably again. Why'd he think Viktor would remember? We went to the locker room where I listened to 'Don't Stop the Music' by Rihanna. We were warming up in different ways.

Yuri was jogging in place, looking around very jittery-like, and I was rotating my arms. "You're almost up Yurio!" Yuuko called before I turned to her. She was gushing blood and other fluids from her nose when she saw Yuri's costume.

It was a silver and white costume with sparkles from Viktor's junior days. Yuuko pushed him out of the room since it was almost time for him to start.

The 'gold-winner' was announced to be skating a program by Viktor Nikiforov. Yuri glided onto the rink before putting his head down.

"He will be skating Viktor's program On Love: Agape" the announcer whispered into the mic. The music started and he was dancing very well.

Triple Axel

The jump was excellent and he landed elegantly. I looked around to see everyone was mesmerized by his performance. I don't want Viktor to go to Russia when he may not want to.

I wonder if they'll be surprised during his performance? That's what Viktor wants in this competition, surprise. There was a Quadruple Salchow followed immediately by a Triple Toe Loop. He has one more Quad left in his performance.

The performance was almost done but before that he landed a Quadruple Toe Loop. None of this was surprising to me. He followed the program exactly. I frowned when his expression changed.

He wasn't feeling Agape anymore. Was he too focused on the performance to feel? Is this why he was mediocre?

The Combination Spin was next and it's his signature move in skating. The performance was masterful, but he was breathing really hard after.

"That's the best performance I've seen from you Yurio! Take a bow!" I smiled at this as I clapped. He was great but he doesn't seem to have liked his own performance.

I frowned as I remembered what would happen if I lose. Viktor will lose his freedom of choice. I looked to the ground seeing my vision blur threatening to turn black.

I saw a pair of shoes making me look up to see Viktor. "Are you ready Yuuri?" Viktor asked making me nod. Before I knew it though I was hugging his neck. "Even if I might lose, I hope you'll get what you want.

I don't want you to lose your freedom of choice" I smiled letting go. "I won't cause I know you won't lose. I'll be watching Yuuri" Viktor winked. My heart thumped before I went onto the ice.

"Representing Japan, a late bloomer and rising star, Yuuri Katsuki!" the announcer shouted as I skated to the middle of the rink. "Yuuri will be skating On Love: Eros" the announcer informed before continuing. "He struggled with the concept before deciding to dance how he, apparently, used to.

He admired the duet of Sabella Katsuke and Tracey Lark which helped him find 'Eros'" somewhat true and somewhat not. I want to try to impress my crush, Viktor's, physically, a playboy after all.

The music started and I was confident when it came to the movements I was going to do. I'm glad I got Eros and not Agape.

I couldn't catch Viktor's attention with something I won't fit well with. I smiled when I heard Viktor whistle, I was surprised because I smirked at him when he did that. I skated what I remembered from memory glad that the Step Sequence was 'pure seduction'.

"I don't think anyone has seen this side of Yuuri in Hasetsu. Is it for a certain someone here?" I did not let that phase me as I spun. I was glad I landed the Quadruple Axel. I didn't touch the ice when I stumbled on the Quad Salchow.

Sort of like using a wall to turn a corner but the wall is horizontal not vertical. The rest went well when I told myself not to panic. My way of feminine dance wouldn't let me panic over a small slip like that. I landed the Quadruple Toe Loop and the Triple Toe Loop making me smile slightly.

I continued the routine smiling at the fact I wasn't breathing too hard when I finished. I was surprised to hear the applause since I hadn't heard it in a while.

"It's good to see you out there again!"

"Welcome back Yuuri!"

I don't know why she said 'welcome back', I haven't skated like this since I was sixteen. I smiled waving shyly at the crowd. Before I knew it I was in front of Viktor and… his arms were around me.

I knew I was blushing furiously so I tried calming it down when he wasn't staring at me. "That was amazing Yuuri! I don't think I've ever seen anyone skate like that!" Viktor exclaimed.

I was glad I got his attention but this is too much right now. "Thank you" I smiled.

"Now I have to ask you something" Viktor said seriously keeping me at arm's length. "S-Sure" I stuttered knowing it's going to be negative. I did not expect however to be pelted with questions with my mind still drunk on the feeling I have not felt in seven years.

Third Person POV

"Where are you going Yurio?!" Yuuko yelled at the young man. "Why are you leaving without hearing the results?" she asked when Yuri stopped. "I know what's going to happen, that performance…" he didn't continue the thought. "I'll continue skating under Yakov" was all he said.

"Yuuri said that Viktor gets to choose what he does when he wins. You don't know what he's going to pick" Yuuko told the stubborn, fragile man. "He chose to come here after the video, he loves Hasetsu. He'll choose to stay" was all Yuri told her.

He wasn't happy about it but Yuuri was right, Viktor should choose what he wants to do. It's better this way anyway. That was how Yuri felt about the results.

Yuuri's POV

"You're the winner Yuuri, any words for the audience?" the reporter/announcer asked. "Thank you for coming out to watch Hasetsu on Ice! I do hope you liked the programs" was all I said.

"What are you going to do Viktor? Yuuri won so you get to choose what you do from here on out" the man asked holding the mic to Viktor.

I was pulled into Viktor's side when he answered. "I'm going to be Yuuri's coach. I came here because I wanted to do just that" I blushed slightly at that and the proximity between Viktor and I.
