Yuuri let out a sigh as he finished updating his children's records on his laptop. Tomorrow, Saturday, is the day of the medical visit of Dr. Ângelo Hope, doctor of the program partner. If all goes well, only Minami, Otabek and Yuri will still be under medical and psychological observation.
At his side, his cell phone vibrates and he picks it up, reading Takeshi's message and frowning. He then sends that message to his irregulars.
Me
Irregular, constant attention around Yuri Nikiforov. I believe that more information about Suzan McCloud is needed to protect him. I'm counting on you.

Saturday is sports day. After medical examinations with Dr. Ângelo Hope, Yuuri takes everyone home for lunch and then decides to take them to an ice rink, after he observes their interest in watching a cartoon involving the sport.
"Today, Professor Kunogi and I will teach you to ice skating. You have a fixed time with us and then, if you want to go to the next sports court, I'll take you while she stays with the ice hockey team, okay?" Yuuri says, smiling at the joy of the children.
"I skate." Yuri says, surprising him.
"Eh?" He asks, crouched in front of the boy.
"Papa taught me."
"Hm, let's see if he taught you well." Yuuri stands up and claps his hands, attracting the children's attention. "Everyone to the van."
And he chuckles as he sees them hurrying out of the restaurant. In the car, Yuuri watches the little boy talking to Georgi, who has dumped by his girlfriend and this makes him happy.
...
In the ice, the boy surprises him again. He shows that he was well taught and possesses a naturalness with the sport. Alongside him, Haruyuki Kunogi, another program partner and figure skating instructor, also looks at him with a serious expression on her face.
"He is very good." She says, looking at him with a smile on her face. "Can I have him, too?"
"If he wants." Yuuri responds, smiling at her. "But I need to get permission from his father first."
Haruyuki Kunogi. A girl who was quite likely to be a great ice skater. With her red hair, in a lighter shade than Mila's and her green eyes, she is very beautiful. But unfortunately, her health did not allow the rhythm of an athlete. Now, as a teacher, her dream is to see her students grow and become athletes of the sport.
"Give me a lift for Yu-topia?" She asks at the end of the day.
"Of course." Yuuri says, smiling at her. "I can take you home with my motorcycle later."
She thanks him and joins them in the van. After dinner and a relaxing bath in the springs, the kids gather to watch TV while Yuuri takes Haruyuki Kunogi home. They stop at a station to fuel the motorcycle, when they notice a strange smoke and a slight orange glow in the sky.
"What is going on?" Haruyuki asks an employee.
"A fire has started in an apartment a while ago. Fire trucks must already be dealing with the flames." The clerk answers.
"Yuuri, come on, I think it's in my building!" Haruyuki exclaims, startled.
"Here." Yuuri says, leaving money to him. "Finish it, please."
"Yes sir."
...
When they arrive in the building, Haruyuki is surprised to see an apartment completely destroyed, after the flames have been erased.
"My apartment is the above it." She says, scared.
But Yuuri was not paying attention to her, but to a person who was on his knees, desperate.
"Victor?!" He screams and leaves the bike, running and kneeling beside him scaring him. "Victor, don't tell me that ...?!"
"Yuuri? Why are you ..." He begins to say, but is surprised to see his upstairs neighbor approaching.
"Yuuri, you scared me!" She says, and then Victor notes. "Oh my God, Victor, are you okay? It's your apartment, is not it?"
Wait a minute? Since when does his neighbor know Yuuri? And they were together? I mean, is she his girlfriend?
"So it's really his?" He listens to Yuuri talking to her but can not concentrate on the conversation.
He lost everything. Laptop, books, documents, the camera used for his videos, his research, his furniture, his home. What should he do now?
...
"Oto-san." Yuri says, looking at Yuuri. "Can you marry Papa?"
"Where did you come up with that idea, Yuri?" The older asks, being taken by surprise.
"I hate to see Papa alone." The boy responds, and Yuuri lets out a long sigh.
"I hate it too, but it's not that simple. For two people to get married, they need to love each other first." He replies, staring at the hospital bed where Victor lies, having fainted in Yuuri's arms.
The doctor has already examined him and determined that he is well, and that the fainting was caused by a panic attack, to Yuuri's relief. Now he and the boy are waiting for him to wake up for the doctor to release him.
"Papa and Mama were married." Yuri says. "They do not love each other, but they're still married."
"I believe they came to love each other, after all, you were born of that love." Yuuri says, smiling at him. "But Papa is a man and so am I. Even though we could both love one day, we could not marry because of it."
"It's unfair." The boy says, raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah." Yuuri responds, taking him in his arms and hugging him. "It's very unfair."
Victor, who had listened to everything, pretends to finally wake up. He is attacked by his son, who hugs him crying.
"I'm going to work with the police to investigate the cause of the fire, since the circumstances are troubling." Yuuri says, when the boy ends up sleeping in his father's arms. "A few days ago, your ex-wife went to a police station saying that Yuri was kidnapped by me and that you hired me. It's funny that the policeman in question knows who I am and she panicked when he confronted her."
Who the hell is Yuuri Katsuki?
Victor finds himself asking himself.
"I must imagine that it should not be easy at this time for you, so I would suggest that you stay with us until you are able to have a home, so you will not only have shelter, food and comfort, but you can also be present with your son." Yuuri stares at him, startling him.
"Are you sure? I do not want to bother." Victor replies hesitantly.
He wants to accept the offer. Really wants. But would not that be too much for both of them?
"Mari is used to me bringing children out of nowhere. Why would she bother with one more?"
"Really ... Hey!" Victor exclaims, embarrassed.
They both laugh and wake the boy up.
"Papa laughing?" He asks, looking from one to the other. "Yup, Yuuri and Papa combine."
"What is he talking about?" Victor asks, pretending he does not understand anything.
"Maybe he's still sleepy." Yuuri responds, caressing the blond hair of the boy, who goes back to sleep.
So he does not care about me? Oh, that's right! He's dating my neighbor. Hey, wait a minute! Why on earth do I have those thoughts? I should not be gay, to start with. Hmm, maybe I am and do not even know it. What the hell is happening to me?
"Victor?"
He listens and turns his face quickly to Yuuri, who was looking at him with concern.
"Are you alright?" He asks, tilting his face. "I was talking about Haruyuki wanting Yuri at her ice-skating classes. What do you think?"
"Oh? Does she teach ice skating? It's a good idea." Victor says, cheering a little. "I taught him the basics, before the breakup."
"I never thought you knew how to skate on ice." Yuuri comments, watching him with a smile on his face.
"Just the basic." Victor responds. "How much will these classes cost?"
"Since Yuri is one of my children, it will not cost anything." Yuuri responds, looking now at the boy. "He has the talent to be an athlete, and both I and I want to explore it."
"I understand." Victor says, frowning. "Does she do it for you? Does not seem fair."
"She goes to our restaurant almost every night, so we offer her free food while she teaches three of my children for free.
"I still think I should pay for the classes. Yuri is my son, not yours, But now I can't afford it. " Victor says, not noticing Yuuri flinch next to him.
"Right." Yuuri whispers, and the conversation ends there when the doctor arrives. "I'm sorry then."
As Victor and the doctor talk, Yuuri leaves the room. He grabs the shirt at chest level and takes a deep breath. Victor, thinking that the young man had left the room to give him privacy, is surprised when he does not see him in the corridors.

Preview of next chapter:
"And then, would you like to be one of my partners in the Yu-topia Akatsuki Children's Youth Program? I really need someone who deals with food nutrition."
Victor looks at Yuuri, after finally understanding what he feels for the man.
"It will be a great pleasure." He answers, with a fake smile on his face.
After all, Yuuri Katsuki will never fall in love with him.
Right?
