AN : why the fuck do you keep messing up my formatting FanFiction god damn it ( here's hoping the kaomojis show up ). One person's messages were supposed to be on the left and another's on the right but I don't see a fucking right align option!

On a more important note, I did this with my ao3 readers too, so it's fair I do it for you guys too. Anyone who has some specific requests for a scene in the fic, may ask for it in the comments or put it as an ask in my tumblr, mistart! I can't guarantee all of them will be fulfilled, but I will try.

eg ( from ao3 reqs ) - Yuuri's fanclub being very protective of him, Viktor fanboying over Yuuri, etc.

Yuuri jolted when he felt vibrate in his pocket. He fished his out and saw that it was a text from Viktor. His face colored with surprise as he stared at the innocent ' hey Yuuri! What's up?' . He had not texted back yesterday after he woke up from his short nap, since he figured that Viktor must have been tired too, no matter what he claimed. And...he was not sure that the man wanted to talk to him.

Phichit had tried to reassure him that no, Viktor wasn't just being polite and texting him out of sake of formality or any such thing, that he genuinely wanted to take time of his schedule to talk to Yuuri, but Yuuri still wasn't completely convinced.

So yes, he was surprised when he saw the text. A warm feeling bloomed into his chest and he smiled to himself. Maybe Viktor enjoyed talking to him after all.

' Nothing much' , he typed back. 'Going to work currently.'

He pocketed his phone and rushed down the stairs, hoping that there won't be any traffic. He did not want to be late for the shoot, it was the first time that he was working with this company, and it was quite new. He did not want to seem disrespectful by arriving late.

Viktor ❤

hope you have fun there!

wait isn't it like

6 am there

wow Yuuri you wake up early!

haha we wake up early for practice too

though

I'm sure Phichit does that too

he's a college student right? does he

have morning classes? what's college

like?

you went to the same uni, yes?

is it like in the movies

RIGHT

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

DO

COLLEGE PARTIES

REALLY HAVE

THE

RED

SOLO

CUPS

OR IS THAT A MYTH?

A mystery that I must know about

Yuuri pls

My crops are dying

My hair is falling

THE HORROR

oh wait where was I

right right

waking up early

well talk to me when you are free

(-3-) ~❤

"That's all, everyone! We're done!"

Yuuri smiled in thanks and moved to the dressing rooms, along with the other two models. The photoshoot was quite pleasant, going smoothly without a hitch. There weren't many clothes to model too, which added to the ease of the shoot.

Although, the pieces they tried were nice and comfortable. Yuuri made a note of the brand. It was good – more than that to be honest, if they were able to get hold of fellow model Warshaw...and him too he guessed – for something that was a new name.

He pulled out his phone after he emerged him from the dressing room, eyes widening when he saw the sheer amount of messages. He felt guilty about ignoring Viktor, but it soon turned to humour at seeing what he had written. Really, this man.

Chuckling he wrote back that he wasn't very social in his college days, but yes, the cups were there in the parties he went to.

Ah, Viktor would be at the rink training, won't he? He added a message of good luck and pocketed his phone after a few minutes when there was no reply.

He sighed when he remembered the second shoot he had that day for VMAN. He should be glad that companies seek him out instead of it being the other way ( he had heard how his coworkers talk of their beginning days ) but some days it was tiring .

Some days...some days all he wanted to do was just get away from the high fashion and makeup and cameras and poses. Yuuri had not wanted to be a model, but it was something that just...happened.

Phichit had convinced him to work part time for a modeling agency ( college was expensive ) and somehow the crowd and camera liked him. He had planned on becoming a dancer and was majoring in dance, but his modeling career took off first.

Yuuri had debated for a long time whether to give up on the career to focus on his original goal, but...something held him back. As much as he absolutely loved dancing, he couldn't bear to dance in front of people as his anxiety got in the way.

But modeling, it was easier. It was just him, and the photographer who mattered. Nothing else, no audience, no crowd, only him and the camera. It grew on him, slowly but it did .

Yuuri had always struggled with words, so it has amazed him how much some models seemed to say in photos. Granted, many were plastic expressions and flat emotions, but some...some were works of art. He found that he could express just as well in photos as he could in dance and rhythm.

That's why he loved working with photographers looking to fill portfolios and doing modeling for the few artistic and unique things, since the people really pulled out the creativity during those.

But those were rare, and if he had to work for catalogues and editorials and runways ( he had no idea why few designers choose him for being a runway model when he specialized as a print model, but they do ), then so be it. It's not like he didn't enjoy those too.

Cinnamon Roll ❤❤❤❤

haha I wasn't really social

in college

But the cups were there in the

parties I did go to

So I guess they aren't a myth? :)

Are you at practice?

Work hard! ^^

I know you'll be awesome at

world's

YUUUUUURI!

sorry for the late reply!

at the rink

Yakov's giving us a break

currently

thanks ^ ^

will you be at the world's?

although you must be

busy -3-

I hope you're there though

it would give me luck

You don't need luck

you're online!

yay ^^

Astute observation Viktor

meanie -3-

Sorry I couldn't resist ヘ(￣ω￣ヘ)

But no, I can't make it to the world's

really? ;-;

you'll watch the live stream

though right?

right?

OFC!

I never miss one of your

programmes!

!

REALLY!?

umm

ah yes

I am kind a big fan

From the time I was

a kid

Sorry I didn't think before

sending the message

THIS IS THE BEST THING

THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED

TO ME

I AM SO FLATTERED

SO HAPPY

?

Really?

But why?

Yuuri you're an amazing

person

to have someone like you

as a fan

it's

idk how to say it

it's gratifying I guess?

like imagine that you're a poor

craftsman in the medieval era

and then you find out the king

is a fan of your work

that's how I feel

….

That's an...interesting

analogy

I don't really get what you

want to say because

I am not that great?

I am just me

I sometimes don't know why

would someone even put up

with me sometimes so

Yuuri you're wonderful, okay?

don't let anyone tell you other

wise

even if it's your own self

no actually

especially if it's yourself

fight! •∆•

Thanks

My anxiety did get better

It's never going away

But yes

Things improve

People help

:)

Ahh and sorry

For boring you with all this （＞ｙ＜）

don't apologize Yuuri!

you didn't bore me

I don't know much about this

so tell me when you need

help, okay?

because I am horrible

at emotions

I don't understand many things

about them

but I'll try to help!

Thank you, Viktor

Viktor looked up from his phone when he heard Yakov yelling that break was over. He told goodbye to Yuuri and pushed off the bench, eager to get back to the ice.

He removed his blade guards and swiftly skated over to one side of the rink, nodding over to Yakov who was going over Mila's short programme. "Vitya, your free skate! From the top!"

Viktor knew his technical elements were as perfect as they could be, but he wished he could say the same for his presentation component. Viktor knew longing, it was a tangible force in lonely nights and crowded press conferences, for something, someone to fill an empty hole in his life, but the song was about longing and lost love.

For lost love you have to have loved in the first place. His free skate has been better after meeting Yuuri, and Viktor had plans about making it even better. He may not have lost Yuuri ( and he fervently hoped that he never did ) but they were separated.

It was not quite love, but he knew that given time, the intense like would soon turn to love.

It was not quite longing, but it was longing for having Yuuri near him.

It was not quite lost love, but Viktor was determined to make this work in time for the Europeans and Worlds.

He skated over to the rinkside where Yakov was standing for his criticism. Surprisingly, the old coach nodded gruffly and said, "Good. Improve the presentation more."

"Huh? No other problems? Yakov, are you alright?"

"YOU INSOLENT BRAT! GO DO TEN SIT SPINS!"

"Calm down Yakov, your blood pressure will rise again. Tut tut."

"TEN MORE SPINS!"

"Ehhh! Fine!" Viktor pouted and went over to do his spins. The sooner he was done with this the sooner he could focus on his programmes. Really, Yakov should know that high blood pressure is dangerous. He was just trying to warn him.

Viktor ❤

sup!

back from practice!

Hey!

it ended later than usual

yakov made me do spins

as punishment -3-

I did nothing!

For some reason I am

Good night ( ˘ ³˘)

!

kisses for you too!

It's just a kaomoji /⊙︿⊙/

haha

bye for today Yuuri!

Yuuri jerked upright on the sofa after Viktor had gone away. He had somehow forgotten about it, but the gift kaomoji reminded him of a very important event coming up.

Viktor's birthday.

Usually it won't have made a difference, since it's not like he could have done anything other than send a message on any of his social media accounts, something which countless people did ( he himself got tagged in thousands and thousands of tweets and photos ).

But this time he could, he had to give something as a gift. Yuuri had always gifted something to his idol ( and now friend ) on his birthday but he knew Viktor would not have even glanced at it.

( He himself didn't go through all the gifts that fans sent to the agency on his birthday, instead he had them given as charity. Most of the supermodels did that. )

But now here were two problems.

What should he give? Where does Viktor live?

The first he could solve with some discussion with Phichit, but it was the second that was the main trouble. He did not know Viktor's address , he could give it to him at some competition as they were too late, and the closest one to his birthday was the GPF which was gone, and the Europeans which Phichit could not participate him.

He could have asked the man himself, but then it won't be a surprise.

Hah, he would just have to think of something. Maybe Phichit will suggest something while brainstorming together. But currently he had to go for his next shoot, so he will catch the man at night he guessed.

He left a note informing Phichit to heat up the leftover lunch for dinner and left, mind whirring with ideas.

Mila

Psst Mila

Do you know what time

it is Phichit

2 am

I know you were still

up

Touché

Make it quick I have

this great game on

pause

It's about the plan

Ayy I am all ears

Where does Viktor live

So did he hurt Yuuri

and you're planning to beat

him up or

Cause then I can't

give you the location

Bro codes and all

Nope it's about his birthday

Oooo

Right

K then so here it

is

[Address]

Thanks a mil Mil
