Too soon, in Yuuri's opinion, Yurio arrived. Victor went to go pick him up at the airport, while Yuuri stayed at home.
It was (surprisingly) warm in Hatsetsu that day. Yuuri was pouting in his room because he didn't get to see Victor's friend too. While his fan whistled, he groaned. Even his mother knew that he was feeling angry.
Yuuri heard a soft knock on his door. "Yuuri, honey, do you want me to make you a pork cutlet bowl?" His mom cracked the door open. Her soft facial features never failed to calm him.
Yuuri smiled and nodded. He was still in his pajamas and hadn't eaten all day. He decided to put on his clothes and go to the Ice Castle. He quickly ate his Katsudon and ran to the skating rink.
Yuuko greeted him at the door. "Hi, Yuuri! Long time, no see!" Yuuri chuckled and raced to go slip on his skates.
Slipping onto the ice always calmed him. He sighed at the sound of his blades scraping the ice. Surprisingly, he had the rink to himself. He glided and traced the ice, and all his worries immediately left him. He was sure Yurio would be a delightful man. He had only listened to his voice once. Of course he'd be mad, Victor had been away for a while.
While Yuuri was off in dreamland, Yurio was yelling at Victor. Strings of curses erupted from his mouth throughout the airport. Victor silently dragged Yurio through the area to his car, a tad annoyed. When he finally sat in his car seat, he took a deep breath and turned to face Yurio.
"When we get there, you better be nice to Yuuri. I want you two to get along." Yurio silently nodded. Just from that quick sentence, he knew that Yuuri was the world to Victor. He may have never fallen in love, but he knew to respect Victor's decisions.
-Timeskip to when Yuuri meets Yurio~-
Yurio and Victor gathered Yurio's luggage and brought it up to the hotel room he'd be staying at. "This person better be worth it..." Yurio quietly threatened.
After they put his things away, they strolled along the beach. The seagulls shrieked as they walked in silence. Waves crashed as they were both lost in thought. Victor was wondering how he would introduce Yuuri and Yurio. Yurio was wondering what type of woman Yuuri would be. Would she be cool? Or the complete opposite?
Soon enough, they reached the Hot Springs Hotel. Victor knocked, and Minako answered the door. Yurio's face lit up. "Is this her? She looks cool."
Minako giggled. "Do I have a fan?"
Victor laughed and shook his head. "He's a friend of mine from Russia. He's here to meet Yuuri."
"Yuuri's at the Ice Castle. You just missed him."
"Thank you!" Victor began running and dragged Yurio behind him. Yurio began shouting but realized it was to no avail. He let himself be dragged all the way to the Ice Castle.
Victor almost broke down the door. "Yuuri! Come meet Yurio!" Victor opened the door to reveal a raven haired boy stepping off the ice.
Yuuri locked eyes with Yurio. "This is your friend?" Yuuri queried. He expected a grown man, not some edgy teen. Victor nodded. "Nice to meet you, Yurio. I'm Yuuri." Yuuri stuck out his hand to Yurio.
Yurio stood his ground, before he piped up, "Victor, what are you, fucking gay?"
Yuuri froze. He didn't know? Victor had to have told him, right? Yuuri wasn't really into some coming out party. He looked questioningly at Victor. "You didn't know I was a guy?"
Yurio burst out laughing. "This is one elaborate prank, Victor. I applaud you. You had me fooled for a minute there." Yurio quieted down when he realized Yuuri and Victor weren't laughing with him. "Wait, this is serious?"
Yuuri remained mute. "Erm, yes?" He fidgeted nervously. "Victor, you did tell him, right?" Yuuri couldn't stand to finish his sentence. You did tell him we are soulmates, right? You had to!
They all stood, tongue-tied. That is until Victor properly introduced them both. "Yuuri, this is Yurio. Yurio, this is Yuuri, my soulmate." Victor trailed off.
Yuuko walked into the rink to investigate the sudden lack of noise. "Why are all of you so quiet? Is this some sort of funeral?" She said jokingly. She received no answer."Oh my god, who died?" She spoke worriedly.
"Yuuko, no one died, don't be worried," Yuuri mumbled in a swift way. "How about we go get lunch? I'll pay!" Yuuri yelled, pretending the previous conversation happened. After all, he was used to acting like everything was okay.
Yuuko released a breath she didn't know she was holding. "I'll leave you to it!"(Hamilton fans don't scream at me)Yuuko strolled out.
Yuuri prepared himself for possibly the worst lunch he'd ever have.
Author's note:
Dear readers,
I am so sorry for the sudden terrible-ness of my writing. I've had not a lot of time to update recently. I have a lot of work from school and I tried to make this a more joking chapter, so I put in more references. Let me know if you all would like a fluffy chapter or a plot heavy chapter next.
Thank you all so much for reading,
