I will repeat some stuff. I am not a native English speaker (/writer but I think that is logical) so I hope I don't mess up too badly. LGBT rights aren't from Russia in this story but from the Netherlands. I will make sure to update on Sunday's but if I find time in between I will do extra chapters. And lastly, I hope you enjoy it.
Warning. Kid's table
CH.37 5 P.2
When the pair got off the ice Victor noticed that Yuuri was having a difficult time to keep his eye's open. Which made sense since he hadn't had a nap yesterday and he had to wake up early this morning. Victor's first instinct was to go back to the hotel so Yuuri could sleep in a proper bed. However, the press was still outside and blocking the entrance meaning that you had to go through them on your way out and in. So as a solution the group of skater's and their coaches looked for a place to relax while waiting for the warm up to begin for the short program. Phichit found a small waiting room with comfortable sofa's in it, The group took their own places . Yuuri sat in the corner an l-shaped sofa so he could stretch his legs and probably have the most comfortable spot. Victor sat next to him and Chris sat on the other side of Victor. Yurio and Otabek shared a smaller sofa while Phichit had his own sofa chair. The coaches had taken seats on the table which was on the other side of the room and J.J and his parents had disappeared somewhere in between leaving the ice and finding this room. It didn't take long before Yuuri slumped against the backrest and Victor shoulder as he fell asleep.
"Have you seen what people are saying online?" Chris asked when he was sure Yuuri was asleep.
"Yes, he has," Yurio answered for him.
"You don't have to answer for me. But like Yurio said, yes I have. And I am quite certain it will blow over eventually." Victor answered nonchalant maybe a little bit too much.
"I thought you would be more hurt by the statements" Chris questioned his own knowledge of Victor.
"I was at first, but then again sometimes people have a bad influence and you just have to show them that they are wrong." Victor pointed out earning some looks from Yurio and Yakov on the other side of the room.
"LOOK!" Phichit announced a little bit too loud and cheerful which made everyone in the room shush him. "sorry, but they posted the video online from you carrying Yuuri while skating." Every skater went on his phone checking the video out.
"Ah, they removed the fun part." Chris complained when he saw the video and noticed it cut off just before the kiss. "luckily we had our own camera man." Phichit gave him thumbs up back and was on his way to posting the video he took earlier.
"Hamsterboy stop what you're doing." Yurio said in his grumpy tone.
"Why?" Phichit asked but did stop typing.
"Wouldn't it be better if Katsudon would re tweet this first before you upload your version?" Yurio answered Phichit with an another question.
"But he is asleep." Phichit whined.
"That won't matter." Victor said as he took Yuuri's phone out and unlocked it. "So what to add?" Victor wondered out loud.
"Maybe say something like. My dear Victor gave me a temporary way to skate." Chris said in a dramatical tone.
"Yuuri wouldn't say that." Phichit repealed
"My sweet fiancee was kind enough to give me a lift so I could feel like I was skating." Victor made up while he moved his hand's to give his statement extra charm.
"He wouldn't say that either!" Phichit and Yurio protested.
"Do we need to intervene at the kid's table?" Yakov asked since he couldn't hear the other coaches anymore.
"Kid's table?" Yurio asked and stood up to make a protest. He went bright red when the other coaches and skaters began to laugh and he sat down stubbornly making them laugh even more.
"As close as I can get to skating right now?" Otabek wondered out loud and everyone looked at him.
"That sounds like Yuuri." Victor answered as he began to type it in. The retweet was placed.
"Now I can post mine." Phichit announced while he held his phone above his head. The rest of the day was mostly waiting and hoping that the media didn't find them. The coaches were kind enough to get their lunch for them. Victor didn't wake Yuuri up for lunch as he figured he could eat once he was awake. After lunch Yakov, Josef and Otabek coach had to leave since they had female skaters who had to train and Junior's who were going to perform soon. And there was the point of getting the skater's through the media mob. When they were gone Celestino took his chair and put it down next to Phichit.
"Can I join the kid's table?" Celestino asked and it made Victor and Chris snicker.
"You're too old for the kid's table." Yurio pointed out and if looks could kill Victor and Chris would be dead. Celestino ignored Yurio's remark and sat down anyway.
"Is Yuuri going to return to the ice?" Celestino asked clearly not beating around the bush why he joined in the conversation.
"Well, Yuuri said to me and Yakov, on different times that he wished he could join us on the ice, so I assume he will." Victor caressed Yuuri's hair gently. At some point, Yuuri had slid down and was now using Victor's lap as a pillow. He hadn't woken up once from noise or hunger so Victor assumed he was just really tired. "But," Victor continued. "I doubt it will be this season, I hope he will make next year GP but it might still be too difficult. His stamina was alway's one of his strong point's but as you can see that maniac has even found a way to break that. Now there is barely anything left." Victor said the last sentence in a bitter tone. Victor and Celestino talked a bit more about what to do and how to get thing's done for Yuuri. It was really nice to hear Celestino opinions on the matter since he would normally only discuss it with Yakov and he wasn't as flexible as Celestino. Some of the thing's Victor had come up with were immediately shot down by Yakov but Celestino did see the potential in them. It was close to 4 pm when Yuuri finally decided to wake up. He sat up rubbing his eye's, his hair and clothes dishevelled.
"How long have I slept?" Yuuri asked while blinking a couple of times to get his eye's used to the light. He looked around and noticed that he was alone with Victor. "And where is everyone?"
"Nearly four hours" Victor answered while looking at the clock on his phone. "They went for a walk and look at the media mob. Yurio was hoping that it was a little less hectic but I think it only got worse." Yuuri nodded and eyed the packed sandwiches and a bottle of fruit juice on the table in front of him. "Yes, that is for you." Victor answered before Yuuri could ask the question. Victor opened the bottle of fruit juice and the packed sandwiches for Yuuri who happily dug in when he got access.
"Did I miss something when I was sleeping?" Yuuri asked in between eating.
"Not really, I talked some things over whit Celestino because Yakov was being stubborn about some things." Victor responded to Yuuri.
"Like what?" Yuuri followed up.
"I was thinking of getting you into physiotherapy when we get back. You're still not allowed to walk but you can work on your arm and they might also help with gaining some strength and weight back in a healthy way." Victor explained.
"Did Yakov disagree with that?" Yuuri asked further and took sips from the fruit juice.
"Yes, he did. He thought it would be too early but Celestino told me he agreed if you didn't over do it. He suggested to do it weekly and talk with the doctors at the hospital what they think." Victor clarified. Yuuri turned so his back was against the other backrest and put his legs over Victor's trapping him.
"I would like to do something else than sleeping the whole day." Yuuri pointed out. "I've slept most of the last half year and I want to be more useful for whatever is going on behind my back." Initially, Yuuri thought he was just being paranoid but since Yakov clarified it this morning that things were indeed happening behind his back he wanted to know what. Even if Yakov advised against it, Yuuri was too stubborn to ignore it.
"Well most of it is to surprise you, so I can't tell you that since it wouldn't be a surprise anymore." Victor tried to deny and wondered how Yuuri knew that things were happening behind his back.
"And the personal investigator is a surprise as well?" Yuuri argued.
"Who told you that?" Victor asked and acknowledged that Yuuri was right.
"It sort of slipped from Yakov." Yuuri replied.
"Well it is true I do have a personal investigator working for me. But right now she isn't only working for me she also works for Ivan." In some way, Victor hoped it would make it sound better than how the situation really was but Yuuri just looked at him waiting for him to spill more. "I hired her to look for you when the police weren't doing their jobs correctly." Yuuri still stared him down. "She found you." Still, Yuuri didn't budge and Victor felt the pressure building and looked down. "She still works for me and Ivan since Igor is still running around freely and we know how well the police handles this case, like a couple of idiots." Victor looked back up at Yuuri and froze when he saw Yuuri's expression. His eyes were wide and supported a scared expression. His eyebrows were squeezed together and he could see tears beginning to form in the corners of Yuuri's eyes.
"Why haven't you said anything about it up until now?" Yuuri asked and tears began to roll down.
"I didn't want you to get scared." Victor tried to defend his actions.
"So, you do think I weak." Yuuri sobbed as he curled himself up into a ball making himself as small as possible.
"No, I don't think your weak how many times do I need to say that before you believe me." Victor argued as he got mad at Yuuri that he had to keep saying it over and over. "There just hasn't been a right moment to tell you and when people are stressed healing takes longer so I wanted to wait for a little before telling you." Victor took Yuuri's wrists in his hands and pulled them away from Yuuri's knees. And wiggled himself between Yuuri's legs and hugged him tightly. "I am sorry that I haven't told you, I was just hoping you recovered a bit before I needed to tell you." Yuuri didn't respond but he did hug him back. "So please don't be mad at me." Victor pleaded.
"I am not mad at you." Yuuri said between his sobbing mostly from the shock of hearing that madman Igor was still running around freely. "I just which you had told me sooner."
"I which I did so too." Victor whispered in Yuuri's ear.
Thanks for all the follows+fav+reviews so far. I enjoy reading all of them. Please feel free to check out my twitter as well CR_CreatorR. I have been busy drawing some Yuuri on ice fan art and other stuff. Like I said on top it will be a weekly updated but if I have the time I will still update in between as well.
