Chapter 7- Loneliness, say what?
Yuuri was honestly worried about Yurio. That poor boy has gone through a lot in the past two day that he was in St. Petersburg.
First, he gets told he's going to be left alone with a 24 year old man and now he fainted due to dehydration and is suffering temporary hearing loss.
But then again, this was a good time to say, Yuuri and Viktor forgot that they got a dog. Why did they forget, well they wouldn't of forgotten if Ein didn't hide under Viktor's bed.
Makkachin was also hiding under the bed. [A/N: I forgot about Ein and Makkachin too, ごうめんなさい]
Well, not next to Ein, but on the other side of the bed. It seemed to Yuuri that Makkachin thinks they replaced him. Viktor had to crawl under the bed and coax them both out.
He didn't know what Otabek and Yurio were doing, but judging from the door being closed it was some NSFW things. He didn't bother opening the door.
Well, as it turns out, Makkachin refuses to get out from under the bed, but Ein was happily running around Viktor's bedroom.
"Yuuri, please help" Viktor said with a begging expression. Yuuri just sighed, then bent downwards to get closer to the bed. He saw Makkachin covering their eyes with their paws.
"Oi, Makkachin" he said. Makkachin uncovered his eyes and leaped from under the bed. Then, he started licking Yuuri's face.
"AH! MAKKACHIN, STOP" he yelled, but he couldn't help but giggle.
When Makkachin decided to stop, he looked up to see Viktor with Ein in his arms, and he looked... mad?
"Viktor, are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah yeah, I'm ok, it's just that MY OWN DOG HAS BETRAYED ME" Viktor said over dramatically. Yuuri immediately stood up and started waving his arms around trying to explain why, but then he heard Viktor laugh.
"It's fine, it's fine. I just wanted to see your reaction if Makkachin did in fact betray me one day" Yuuri was left speechless.
Makkachin was just sitting there with his tongue out. Before Yuuri could do anything else, he just saw Viktor stiffen suddenly, then grunts.
When Yuuri looked behind him, he saw Yurio... kicking his fiance's back.
"ASSHOLE" he yelled. Viktor just looked annoyed instead of angry, Yuuri understood why, Yurio ruined a perfectly good bonding moment.
Otabek ran in and picked Yurio up.
"I apologize, I don't know how he managed to sneak out without me noticing" he said.
"No, it's not a problem" Yuuri tried to say.
"Well then, Yurio" Viktor said, "why don't we start the plan now?" Viktor raised a brow at Otabek. Wait, what? No.
"It'll probably help" the Kazakh responded.
Yuuri looked at Yurio and saw that he had a distant look on his face. This might cause some problems, Yuuri thought.
"BYE YUURI!" Viktor said and waved at him from the other side of the threshold. Yuuri saw Yurio and Otabek separating from a hug from the corner of his eye.
Otabek and Viktor were already packed so the goodbye wasn't that long.
Once, they were already gone, Yuuri said, "Hey Yurio do you wan-" The Russian was already gone.
Yuuri didn't know how to feel about that, so instead he went to go sit on the couch, only to find it preoccupied with Ein and Makkachin.
He sighed, what now? There really was nothing left for him to do because it was like he was left home alone with both of the dogs.
Yuuri just sat on the fluffy sea-foam green carpet in front of the couch.
He turned on the flat screen, and... there was nothing for him to watch because it was all in Russian.
Sure, Yuuri's Russian wasn't too bad, but it wasn't good enough to understand it when spoken fast.
So, he just sat through the news so he could work on his comprehension.
Then, he saw Viktor on the news and a bunch of news anchors discussing something and one of them seemed angry, it was as if he could suddenly understand every single word they said.
Lady Anchor: Calm down, Oleg. He isn't harming anyone!
Oleg: I don't care, Alla! That fag has no business being here! He should go back to Japan with that other skater.
Man Anchor 2: I understand your anger, but he is a Russian citizen, so he should have the same rights as everyone else!
Oleg: Then, what about that man he brought with him?! What about him, Alexei!
Alexei: I-
Alla: Let's stop for now, because this is only going to drag on forever, otherwise it will end up like Voronov and that American. [A/N: I had to include Johnny Weir somewhere, or he was gonna end up making a cameo]
Then, they switched to the weather. News outlets are talking about him? Yuuri thought.
Then he heard shuffling around the corner, when Yuuri went to go see it, he saw Yurio stomping back to the room and this time, actually slamming the door closed.
~switch to Yurio~
What the hell is that Katsudon doing? Is he doing this on purpose, does he know about Yuri's fear?
Yurio slid his back down the door and put his head between his knees.
When will this week end? He asked himself.
He looked up, and in front of him was a small mirror under the window, Yuri didn't know how he didn't notice it coming in for the first time.
In it, he saw a scared little boy wallowing in self pity.
Why was he like this?
What was wrong with him?
Before he could stop himself, he got up and punched the mirror.
Surely enough, it shattered into millions of pieces and then he saw blood.
There were shards stuck in his hand, but he couldn't feel the pain due to the adrenaline running through his system.
Sure, there were deep cuts, but he felt nothing.
Then he heard Katsuki open the door.
"Yurio! What happened! Are you ok?!" he asked frantically turning him around.
Yuri didn't see Katsudon's reaction, but it must've been one of shock because he immediately pulled Yuri into hug.
"What are you doing?" Yuri mumbled.
"Hugging you" he responded.
It was almost enough to make Yuri scoff at him, but he didn't, he didn't do anything.
"Feel better?" Katsudon asked after a minute or so, but almost hesitantly.
The adrenaline wore off, so now his fist was screaming in pain."No" he said
"Uh, why?"
"Because there are several gashes in my hand"
"oh, OH"
Katsudon grabbed him arm and pulled him into the bathroom, blood dripping the entire time.
Yuri watched as Katsudon rummaged through Viktor's things looking for the first aid kit, meanwhile he was standing there with his fist in the sink.
He finally managed to find a giant box with a red cross on it. In it were tweezers, bandages, skin tape, rubbing alcohol, petroleum jelly, etc.
"This is going to hurt" Katsudon said. Oh god, Yuri thought. How did it feel? Well, try dipping your hand in boiling water then you can come back and talk.
It was not a pleasant experience, let's just say that. Yuri was sure he was going to pass out, until Katsudon put some ointment on the cuts and the bleeding stopped.
"How do you know how to do this?" Yuri asked as Katsudon was wrapping his hand with gauze.
"Hm? Oh, it was just, Mari would get in a lot of fights when we were growing up and I would patch her up so that our parents wouldn't know" he responded. "Oh"
He just let him finish wrapping up his hand to go sit in the living room, but he sat in the Love seat because those god forsaking dogs were sleeping on the couch.
Also, this day could've not gone any worse because it was his right hand that was bandaged... fuck.
HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING WITH HIS LEFT, NOW WHAT!? Yuri wished he stayed deaf for a couple more days so that he wouldn't be stuck with Katsudon until... today was Tuesday plus 5 is... Sunday, yeah he didn't want to be stuck with Katsudon til Sunday.
Hopefully, everything goes off without a hitch because he doesn't want to get on Viktor's bad side, and believe him when he says Viktor is very scary when angry and actually made another skater cry once from some remark he said to Viktor.
Should he explain? He didn't want to remember, hell, he barely remembered because this happened back when Yuri was 10 years old, Viktor had just cut his hair short, and Viktor looked terrifying when rebutting that skater's remark.
He tried not to think about as much because well, as you couldn't tell already, he was stuck with Viktor's fiance, someone is completely oblivious to Viktor's other side.
Maybe Yuri should watch the news.
