Chapter 19

The next five days were spent with souvenier shopping, sightseeing and relaxing, Otabek and Arjun's girlfriend showing them around the city. Time flew fast and soon and the group had to fly back. Mari, Minako and the Katsuki parents got off in Japan and stayed there, though Viktor decided to bring Makkachin with himself to Russia. Yuuri too got off, for he changed his name to Katsuki-Nikiforov, and needed to reforge his documents. With the luck he had, he flied back to Moscow, where Viktor too, was busy reforging his documents because he changed his name too, to Katsuki-Nikiforov. Yurij as usual visited his grandfather in the hospital who remained stable but unconscious without showing signs of waking up. The following days flew fast till the next appointment with the lawsuit. Infact, they were sitting in court right now.

"I congratulate the newlywed couple for the marriage," Evgeny judge said after opening the lawsuit. "Upon further investigation, we currently found nothing legally against Yurij Plisetskij to be adopted by Fyodor Plisetskij and his family, nor against him being adopted by Viktor Katsuki-Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki-Nikiforov," The judge explained. "However, we haven't the child's opinion yet. Yurij Plisetskij, please talk."

"Your Honor," Yurij cleared his throat standing up. "I honestly wish to be adopted by the Katsuki-Nikiforov family instead of my biological father's family. My reasons are because my father had not wanted my custodyship back then, and I doubt that he would love me now. I believe he wants me for my money I earn from my different figureskating competitions. While this wouldn't be an issue with the Katsuki-Nikiforovs. They want to adopt me because they sincerely care for me. They don't want me to earn more money, they would love me even if I failed the GPFs," Yurij said. Heck this must have been the longest and cheesiest thing he has ever said in his life. "Not to speak about the fact that the Katsuki-Nikiforovs would be able to support me to the fullest in my skating career. My grandfather too would want me to live in a loving and supporting ambient."

"Your Honor, if I may," Fyodor interrupted. Getting the consent he continued. "Wanting my son for money is absolutely ridiculous. I already earn enough by myself and so does my wife and my daughter. I just simply realised over the years that I made a huge mistake by not wanting my son. In fact, I want to make it up to him by adopting him and caring for him. His skating career would get even more support from me as he would have the best coaches and training sessions," He said concluding. Viktor sent him a cold glare while Egor's and Yurij's glares were burning like the sun. How Fyodor managed to ignore those powerful glares, Yuuri didn't know.

"May I speak, your Honor?" Yuuri asked standing up.

"Please do," Evgeny said nodding.

"I believe the power of love is the strong. But only the power of true love. To me Yurij is not only a confused teen who needs a family to ground himself to, but also a son. A son I need to take care of. He is someone precious to me and to Viktor too. During the time we spent together I got to know him well, and I find it increadibly sad that he could be adopted by a seemingly loving but in truth unluving family where he would be broken. To Yurij his grandfather has the highest prestige in his heart. Neither I nor Viktor could break the bond between them, while I as a fact know that Fyodor would ban Yurij from meeting his precious gyiedushka," Yuuri said, determination clear in his eyes.

"Liar! How do you know that as a fact?!" Fyodor snapped.

"Sir, please calm down. Sir Katsuki-Nikiforov, could you elaborate this please?" Evgeny asked.

"Your Honor, when I first met Fyodor, it was in the hospital room of Yurij's grandfather. Judging by the way he kept throwing spiteful glares and obvious animosity towards the unconscious man, I think it is pretty clear," Yuuri stated.

"If I may speak," Jeredy, Fyodor's lawyer, interrupted. Getting consent he continued. "A look is not a fact for certain. On the contrary, it is just a fleeting illusion. Fyodor has his son's best interests at heart, while that filthy couple and lawyer do not. And I, for fact know that Egor's husband's younger brother who is 18, has a pedophilic relationship with Yurij," He stated, shocking the court - and Egor's team too.

"Excuse me?!" Egor and Yurij yelled at the same time but were hushed by Yuuri.

"Your Honor, may I speak?" Viktor asked. He got consent and spoke, trying not to be too spiteful. "I believe Sir Jeredy is wrong. Increadibly wrong. Number one. Eyes are the mirrors of one's soul. So if someone sends more than one spiteful glare it is obvious what they feel. Number too. Arjun Chauhan, the younger brother of Egor's husband does not have any sort of pedophilic relationship with Yurij. Not even a romantic relationship. What Arjun feels for Yurij and what Yurij feels for Arjun is clearly platonic strong brotherly love," Viktor declared sternly. Egor raised his hand and continued when the judge nodded.

"I per se know Indians and their culture pretty well. For them a brother or a sister is saint. And for them once they pronounce that 'you are my brother' there cannot be any kind of romance nor sexual relationship between the two," Egor stated.

"Your Honor, how do we know whether Arjun actually said that Yurij is a brother to him?" Fyodor asked. "I wish to keep my son protected from any harm."

"Your Honor, Arjun told me himslef, while we were in America that he loved me, but was not in love with me and that he viewed me like a younger brother," Yurij stated trying not to growl in anger.

"Do we have any witnesses?" Evgeny asked with scrutinizing eyes.

"I heard that conversation, your Honor. And even my husband, Hanuman heard it," Egor said. They did hear it, because they weren't fully asleep and when Arjun laughed and declared his true feelings they were awake. Fyodor was about to speak when Evgeny sternly cut in.

"We will take this under further investigation, but for now I will close the lawsuit. Our next meeting will be in one month," The judge said hitting the hammer to it's holder. Seething as he left the court, Yurij wanted to beat up Jeredy and his father, but Viktor held him back. Grumbling they left the building and went to the nearby park where the Chauhan brothers were playing with Makkachin, Alina and Coco, Egor's Golden Retriever.
