Chapter 4
Meeting me Again
The day started where skaters arrived to their hotel where they will be lodging in for the competition and immediately the controversial skater and his coach were already mobbed and pulled by the media for questions, Yuuri answering questions while his coach remained silent for quite a while since the other is not a morning person and much like to avoid talking to anyone before his snaps.
Yuuri is capable to answer all their questions as it is all relevant with skating or his routine, "Is it true you are dating your coach slash cousin?" one Japanese Journalist asked and Shiro out of nowhere pulled his other eye to open and stare at the female journalist.
"From all the weirdest and grossest question, that's the first… really" he sighed, "If you are pointing at our gestures in his Short program it is because we are acting, he needs motivation and here I am motivating him" with that the journalist's mouth turn 'O' shape.
"It is true, we are both just acting, I really need it since Eros is a figure that seduces his Alpha and with that I want to portray my Eros every time I perform" he explained.
When another wanted to ask the pair again, "Yuurochka!" The Russian coach with delighted smile bounded to the two.
"Feltsman-san!" Yuuri smiled back and returned the hug that the old man gave, "How are you?" he asked, "Have you been taking the one I prescribed?" he asked and he was all doctor like.
"Of course I did, Thank you for saving me that night, if it weren't for you I would have died, my wife Liliana wanted to thank you as well" he nodded.
"It was my duty actually, no need to thank me" humbled by the Omega.
"Glad you are back again" the old coach smiled softly at him patting him, "Although, from all the coaches" he turned to Shiro.
"Same question I ask him too… why a brawler" with that the old coach boomed in laughter.
"Still, I know before you were scouted to smash faces you were spinning and bouncing in ballet" snorted by Yakov, "Though he made a good choice, you were Lilia's favorite student after Minako" he chuckled.
"Sh… you're spilling too much pops" he told with a chuckle.
"Still it's good you are doing well as well" the old man held his hand.
"Yakooooov~" a tired and slurry call with Russian accent called for the old coach which caused the coach to sigh.
"Yes Mila?" he turned, Mila was being followed by the Junior skater who bounced to Yuuri as well.
"Hello to you too Yura?" and he patted the boy who hugged his mid section.
"I'm doing fine!" he smiled brightly seeing his idol again, "Me and Mila together with the old man is going for dinner, wanna come?!" he bounced around.
"Yura, I'm sure Yuurochka and Shiro have their own plans" Yakov stated and the boy pouted.
"We don't, actually we're about to head out as well, to get this guy some food since he's been whining" Yuuri pointed to his cousin who's dressed in thick hoodie and leather jacket with his jeans matching his hoodie and his brown Timberland boots and signature ball cap.
"Stop using me as an excuse, you were binging yesterday with those tacos you know" with that Yuuri was about to protest when a platinum blond legend skater stopped on his tacks and grinned at their way.
He strides to Yuuri's direction when Shiro got that bright idea, he pulled Yuuri and wrapped his arm around his cousin's waist, "You know, We'd love to join you for dinner"
"Really!" bounced Yuri and Mila gets the idea as Shiro stares at Victor, Mila played along as well since she can see Victor already in the edge.
They headed to a nice Chinese restaurant together, Yuri has been bouncing around the Japanese Yuuri asking him multiple questions while Victor walked far behind, Mila and Shiro whispering to each other at the side trying not to be seen talking since their topic is Victor and Mila had told Shiro all about the pining Alpha, Shiro wanted to laugh.
Shiro pulled a chair for Yuuri beating Victor to it and Yuuri like the usual thanked him.
As they ordered, Victor ordered most of it to impress Yuuri since he learned that the Omega loves to eat yet he needs to control since he easily gains weight, Victor ordered some local like drunken shrimp and some duck, while Yakov and Shiro settled with some other cooked locals.
"AH! Yuuri!" a familiar Thai greeted and Yuuri lights up smiling at the Thai.
"Phichit-kun!" Yuuri stood and gave his Omega best friend a tight hug, Phichit joined then until his coach arrived who also joined the Coaches and started to tease Shiro, until Georgi arrived with two more skaters who followed him.
Victor at that time is already drunk and forgot where he was and now he's all naked and cuddling the poor Omega, Phichit enjoying the tortured state of his coach with his mouth bubbling out of drunkness, Yakov still sober and upset at his best skater's state, Shiro drinking something that wasn't alcoholic and still conversing with Yakov.
Leo and Guang-Hong are looking shocked at Victor and poor Yuuri, both restraining not to take those embarrassing photos.
Yuri is already dozing off and Shiro who's six foot seven carried the boy like a toddler to his arms while the child rested his head to his shoulder.
Guang-Hong couldn't take it and snapped a quick photo for his own use.
"I'm sorry if Vitya wouldn't remember any of this in the morning again, he has been crazy about you and has no idea about that evening you were with us" Yakov sighed, Yuuri who now learned about his crush's feelings towards him swelled, although a little disappointed that the Alpha he had been pining for years would only forget their little talks and his flirting.
"It's alright" Yuuri smiled weakly and parted ways with the other team.
The next day everyone who's out for the public practice trained while the other coaches can see the youngest coach yells and tears his skater to do polish his jumps more.
The Omega skater however failed to notice the longing stare the Legendary skating Alpha gives him, Shiro can see it and spoke in Japanese trying to motivate yet distract his student and to play along, Victor wonders what the blasted coach is yelling at Yuuri again.
During public practice, every journalist's and media's attention is cut between the controversial pair and the Legendary skater.
But later that evening when the skaters are at the back preparing for their routine, until Phichit showed Yuuri the image of him and Victor online, Yuuri fell embarrassed and scared that he would bomb his routine and get criticized when Shiro shouted at Phichit who also uploaded his picture where he carried the boy, now Yuri's angels were flocking at him calling him Papa tiger.
"Big Tiger!" Yuri who came in bounced and latched on his back.
"Hey, tiny tiger, have you seen the photo?" asked Shiro.
"Uh-huh! I don't mind if you're my pops" he told and the girls squealed.
"Well… I wouldn't mind either but, we have to clear you're not my biological kid, since I don't do relationships" and with that Yuuri laughed at the side despite his own worry.
When Phichit and Guang-Hong were done with their performance, and was followed by Victor taking the score of a hundred four Yakov looked satisfied with his performance, but when Shiro matched his costume with his all black dress shirt matching his dress pants, with his slim fit waistcoat that has a wide front curved which is also black and has silver linings, his slim silver tie with black clip putting it to place.
The audience squealed when Yuuri's ultimate Eros came out, Shiro held him close to his side while Yuuri place his palm on his cousin's chest and the other around his lower back, Yuuri waved at his own fans who screamed and chanted his name.
The camera kept on zooming at the pair, when Yuuri steps out the ice, he faced Shiro over the barrier abd both flirted like they would do every time Yuuri's in Eros mode, Shiro like the usual turned him on by pulling him close, making sure that the camera angle makes him look like he's kissing the neck of his student which actually he's whispering something, "Remember he's crazy for you, he's here and he's staring right now. Make sure he drools and regrets he forgot everything about you, make him jealous I'm with you rather than him" Shiro created his own villain persona who's in a relationship with Eros not his cousin.
Yuuri looked like he's feeling his cousin and they are both literally flirting Victor started to glare at the sight and the other skaters were all having fun with his look.
When Yuuri glided in position, his intro changed in to a lip bite, with a wink and kiss thrown in to Shiro who like the usual caught it and in return gave a boyish smirk and eyebrow raise, it got louder after that.
With everyone watched and got enthralled at his routine which he perfect, the commentator even pointed that his quad salchow which he has thirty percent success rate got cleanly executed and finished his routine in perfect performance, out of happiness Yuuri glided to Shiro and jumped on him, the huge man caught him safely and spun him around, after putting him down he pulled Yuuri to turn around while holding his hand like they were dancing and diped him lower, his pals rested on the small of Yuuri's back.
"AND THERE WE HAVE THE COACH ALL DELIGHTED WITH HIS CHARGE!" shouted by the Japanese commentator which is a huge fan of Yuuri.
Having their place in the kiss and cry, he was given the score of a hundred and six topping Victor, Shiro out of happiness kissed his hand, his Villain persona came out and stared at Victor at the corner.
Suddenly Shiro jumped and snapped out his character, "From all of the time we had earlier, who's this calling at this moment" and he pulled out his phone from his back pocket and answered it, it turns out it was just Hiro congratulating.
"Can you do that when me and Yuu-nii get home?" he spoke in Japanese reverting back to his old self and Yuuri laughed heartedly as they were in their candid moment.
Yuuri took the phone and thanked his other cousin.
When they came back to the back stage, Yuuri was congratulated by everyone except some few bitter skaters and Victor who remained quiet, angry at Shiro.
When Shiro sighed and went to Victor, "For the love of everything, if you like my cousin, go to him and tell him that, but hurt him you know you'll meet your end right" showing his right fist which was huge and ready to break Victor.
"Try and remember something that might save you for everything" Shiro finally gave him a hint and went off to where Yuuri is.
"Look! Isn't these look like Vicchan~" bounced Yuuri showing Shiro all the plushed toys.
"Your end of the bargain, I get to have those that look like Tofu, right?" he inquired looking at the white Shiba inu plush, "And the meat…" and stares at the cute food plush, Yuuri chuckled and handed him the three items, he added another which looked like a stake, Morooka looked baffled at the cousins acting like kids.
Victor stood at the side blinking having to witness Yuuri having two personas, and more importantly what Shiro had said.
"You know, Mr. Shiro gave you a signal to hit on his cousin right?" Victor's Swiss best friend who just finished his own Short program and came in fifth.
"Oh…" it was much to take in but it was a god sign.
"Here's an advice be friends with him so that he will give you a safe path, he's a dangerous man, Vitya I warn you. He's over protective of his cousin but when he gave you his signal it means it is a chance" said Chris, "Yuuri is a precious gem, one of a kind I tell you, he is talented not just in the ice but also in his profession" with that Chris patted his friend and went off with his coach.
