Backing up a little bit - this is a goofy little bit of head canon fluff post episode 5. It's hardly worth the update, but it makes me smile, so I'm going to share.
The whole gang was gathered for Yuri's celebration dinner. Though they'd long since finished eating, the whole family remained gathered around the table.
"Yuri," one of the triplets said, "I think you broke Minami Kenjiro."
Yuri was confused "What do you mean? Once I got over being surprised that he liked me so much I tried to encourage him a little bit."
"Well," Minako smirked "I think you overshot your mark." She shoved her phone in Yuri's face and he adjusted his glasses to focus.
He found the beginning of the conversation and flushed bright red. Minami had posted "Yuri Katsuki is so cool. No wonder Victor Nikiforov left skating for him."
And then Victor had replied "I know, right? He's wonderful!"
A while later, Minami had posted "OMG! OMG. I can die happy. Yuri Katsuki cheered me on today! And he touched my butt!"
Yuri sighed and wondered if that had been a mistake. He was not at all used to this kind of thing. "I'm going to go soak in the hot spring."
Before following Yuri out to the baths, Victor asked "Has he not had fans before?"
"Of course he has," Nishigori replied. "He's just been too wrapped up in his own insecurities to notice."
"Oh." Victor tilted his head in thought. That lined up pretty well with what he'd thought was going on, but he wasn't sure what, if anything as a coach he should do about that. Maybe he should just ask Yuri about it.
By the way, I totally imagine a future where Victor and Yuri coach both Yurio and Minami together. Hehehe, actually Minami and Yurio would be a hilarious pairing. All angrypants vs. glitterpants. And you know, age matched close enough not to be creepy, which is important to me.
