Alyona:
I sincerely can't believe what my eyes are seeing. My student, the same little piglet that was about to quit after one bad season, has transformed into a warrior angel overnight!
No trace of doubt or nerves could be seen in his persona. If anything that look on his face was one of determination and challene, as he earned up on ice.
Looking at Viktor I noticed that he didn't know what was going on either. Which was a first.
Deciding not to be bother by it for now, I simply proceeded to call Yuuri out and point out what he was doing wrong- last minute tips. After all, this atttude suited this routine the best. He might get back those presentation points he lost yesterday.
But one thing was for sure: with this new atttude he will be able to snatch that third place from Giacometti.
This is going to get interesting. I thought as I noticed Stefan and Christophe's worried expressins, before turning fierce and ready to crush anyone for that bronze medal.
-Back in Russia-
Minako:
"So he is back" I muttered, as I watched my student skate from the T.V.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Nikolai, cofnused, as he cradled Luba against his chest.
"When Yuuri used to compete in ballet, he gathered many enemies. A lot of dancers were jealous of how good he was, even though he was still so young. Yuuri never used to get anxious before as he does in ice skating, maybe because he has been dancing ballet ever since he could walk, but in other situations he did. Like during an interview or accepting an award or a photoshoot. Those who were envious tried to reap his confidence down and use that weakness to their advantage. Zero shielded him from most of that harm, but when he accepted Russia's deal and left Yuuri was left alone. So he created something like another personality. He has not a personality disorde, we checked, but in certain situations when he is pushed to his limits he snaps and transforms into this. A seductive man who dares anyone and everyone to beat him, to defeat him. We nicknamed him: Eros" Minako sighed "If you look closer his movements are surer, firmer and with much more potency. All an angelical warrior on stage… this time on ice. Luckily, it suits the theme of the routine this time but next time it might not"
"That's good then" commented Nikolai, not understanding why Minako held such a troubled expression.
"It is… but Yuuri ends up getting in trouble each time Eros appears and there is only Minami there who knows about this" responded the dancer.
"That's not good" replied Nikolai, now understanding the young woman's fears "We can only hope for the best and wait"
"That's what's troubling, I hate waiting" added the ballerina, not taking her eyes away from the screen and praying that her student doesn't get into much trouble.
No one:
Yuuri as expected ended up on third place, though not for much: only half a point ahead of Chris. But such a young boy medalling on his first Worlds wasn't what had everyone on edge, but this new Yuuri that everyone met today. Especially, Viktor who could not believe that his cute and adorable angel turned into such a seductive and daring succumbs. It made Yuuri much more hotter and interesting to Vitya. Katsuki
It made Viktor believe that there's still many layers of Yuuri Katsuki To discover still... which made things much more exciting.
