Yuri Plisetsky (6 years old):

I know three things in my short life:

I love Dedushka!

I love Pirozhki!

And I love Yuuri Katsuki!

My daddy was a police officer who died protecting people. My mommy had a car accident one year ago. And I was left all alone with Dedushka. I was so sad, so very sad. Until I saw Yuuri Katsuki skate, earlier this year. His jumps were not as good as some of the big kids. But Yuuri Katsuki could make music with his body! He brought his performances to life with every fluid move and every perfect spin. He was as graceful as a tiger! But on ice! He could even fall gracefully! Beat that Nikiforov!

I wanted to beat that! I will beat that one day!

So, when Dedushka told me Yuuri Katsuki was coming to Moscow for his first JGPF and that he had gotten us tickets. I was over the moon! Nothing was stopping me. Not even my stupid True Mate.

I glared at the fatty my Dedushka and I stumbled into by the entrance of the skating stadium. I was in such a hurry I crashed with someone, when I was about to apologize and keep on going I grabbed my hand in pain- the only place our skins met. It was then that I noticed the True Mate Tattoo. A pair of skates with angel wings.

"Move! I don't have time for this today!" I yelled at the fatty.

"Yura! I am sorry" Dedushka scolded me and spoke to the Alpha in English "He is just excited to meet Yuuri Katsuki, he means no harm. He is a big fan."

I did not understand what Dedushka had said but it made the fatty laugh. I was about to yell at once again because True Mate or not, no one laughs at my Dedushka. When the fatty took off his mask, glasses and combed his hair back. It was Yuuri Katsuki! Yuuri Katsuki was my True Mate! And somewhat he was Superman too, to be able to conceal his identity like that. He is so cool!

Yuuri Katsuki then asked something to my Dedushka who simply nodded his head, shocked as much as me. He then kneeled in front of me and smiled, he looked so pretty I felt myself blush.

"You are a fan?" Dedushka translated, I could only nod "Then I'll make sure to win for you!"

He then gave us passes so we could be backstage with him and his ballet teacher. And he fulfilled his promise, he won and even placed the medal around my neck saying: "one of many to come" when Dedushka told him I wanted to be a skater in the future.

Best Day Ever!

Best Ture Mate Ever!

Yuuri Katsuki (17 years old):

I finally made it into the JGPF and I knew I could not do it. So, I sneaked around Minako-sensei and left the stadium. It would ruin my career but I could not stand the humiliation of failing. But I was glad I did. Yura is the most adorable boy I have ever met. He hadn't even presented yet and he had my whole family wrapped around his little finger. I was worried he would think we were too much but he seems to bask in the attention. My heart broke for Yura, who had lost everyone but his Dedushka so young. At least, he had us now.

"How are you handling it?" Minako-sensei asked me, as my family was having another Skype session with the Plisetsky family.

"What do you mean?" I asked her confused.

"I mean, last year you barely won bronze at Nationals yet this year you won the JGPF, Nationals and Junior World not to mention you found your True Mate and have been stocking sponsors like crazy" she answered "How are you handling it?"

"As good as expected. I need the sponsors not to bother Kaa-san and Tou-san and I need the money to help Nikolai. I know he did not ask for it but they are on their own and Yuri is my True Mate" I cut her off "I wantto help."

"... Then let's make you so famous that sponsors will come begging for you" she replied, giving me her support like always.

"Also, I need your help with something else." I told her, looking at her seriously "I need your aid fighting for Omega rights in Japan."

Otabek Altin (13 years old):

When I was forced to assist to Yakov Feltsman's skating camp I thought it would be the most humiliating experience in my skating career, which it was. But I did not expect to find a friend for life... or get my heartbroken for the first time.

I was having a hard time during ballet class, I was not as flexible or graceful as skaters should. My worth as a skater came from my powerful jumps. And then I saw him, Yuri Plisetsky, he was incredible. But what had me unable to look away was not his technique or talent, it was the fire in his eyes. The eyes of a soldier. I wanted to get close but did not feel confident enough, I was surprised when he came to me. We made fast friends and I could feel a crush forming.

"By the way, are you unpresented?" Yura asked me one day during lunch.

"I'm a Beta" I answered "Why do you ask?"

"Because I can't smell you/ I'm always surrounded by Alphas and their scents are very strong" he replied.

"Family of Alphas?" I inquired.

"No, only my Dedushka. My mom and dad were Betas and I'll be an Omega" he answered.

"You are pretty sure of that. How?" I inquired, there was no way of knowing your second gender before you presented when you turned ten.

"My True Mate is male and an Alpha, so it's most likely I'm an Omega" he told me, oblivious to the fact he was breaking my heart "Katsudon was the one who told me to make friends during camp. For which I am very thankful, I got to meet you Beka" he smiled at me and I turned to goo.

Well, if Yura's True Mate was the reason I got him as a friend... then I can get aboard with such a True Mate.

But what kind of name is Katsudon?

Yakov Feltsman (Yuri ten years old and Yuuri eighteen years old):

Today is the day. Today is the day I'll be receiving the last skater I'll take as a coach. I once thought that would be Mila but once I saw that blond spitfire on my training camp two years ago I knew he belonged on my team. Today I was picking him and his grandfather up from the airport... or at least that was the plan.

No one deemed it necessary to tell me that they were bringing Yuuri FreekingKatsuki with them. The young skater who was taken over the world of politics, fighting for Omega rights.

Just as I was about to explode, Katsuki finally got away from all the fans and press with Nikolai on his side while giving my ten years old Omega student a piggy ride,. It was only when they stood before me that I noticed the matching True Mate Tattoos on their hands.

"Coach Feltsman, I apologize for all the drama. But you need to understand that I need to assure myself of my mate's safety if he is to train and study away from home... on his own" he greeted me, with a polite bow.

"You don't seem to approve" I noted.

"I don't" he replied frankly, I raised an eyebrow impressed by the Alpha's balls "I think he is too young to be on his own, and no it had nothing to do with his second gender. But then again it's not my choice and it is a chance of a lifetime. I am very proud of him and will do my best to support him."

I looked at Yura surprised when he, and I repeat, PURRED in delight, rubbing his nose over the Alpha's scent glands. What a big change from the typical grumpy cat I know.

"What a contradiction" I noted, amused.

"I can work with it" he told me.

"So can I" I replied.

Nowthis is a True Mate I can work with,I thought to myself as I guided them to the van.

It seems that my last student might bring more to the table than what I once thought.
