So, what do you think about the story so far?

I don't own YOI.

Phichit looked uncharacteristically serious for a second. He then looked at Viktor, and asked 'When did you realize you were in love with Yuuri?'

'Yeah, tell me.' Chris said, enthusiastically. 'I've never heard that story before.'

'You have heard it, Chris.' J.J groaned. 'You've heard it over a hundred times.

'All right, I have.' Chris said. 'But I want to hear it one more time.'

Viktor smiled, and took his husband's hand.

'Let me try it one more time, Viktor. I'll perfect it this time, I promise.'

I stared at Yuuri. He seemed to never get too tired to practice. If I had his stamina...

He had so much potential. I had to make sure he fulfills it.

I sighed. Responsibility weighed heavily on me. I had always been a rather easy going, happy-go-lucky person. And that was fine when I only had myself to think about. But now that Yuuri was my responsibility as well...

Being a coach was tough. No wonder Yakov was always grumpy.

I watched Katsuki Yuuri perform to Eros.

I had assigned him to Eros mainly because it would create an element of surprise among the audience, though the fact that it would be inappropriate to assign 'Sexual love' as the theme to a fifteen year old was also a factor. Also, I secretly hoped that Yuuri would be able to channel the shamelessly sexy side he showed off in last year's banquet.

However, Eros Yuuri was completely different from the Yuuri I saw at the banquet. This Yuuri had a really soft, innocent sex appeal, that had the force to move the world. And the thing was, he was not even aware of it.

I thought about him. He was such a cute, shy boy but he also had so much more to him. He was a good, kind person with great courage and strength which he did not know of. God, I loved that boy.

I startled myself with the thought. I immediately knew it was true. It had been years since I had felt an emotion so pure as what I felt for Katsuki Yuuri. I had planned on coaching him for just a year, but I suddenly felt like I wanted to be by his side and protect him forever.

But how do I express my feelings when he insists on running away from me every time? I was confused. Was it just his nervousness, or did I have something against me?

Yuuri was so tired after practice that he went straight to bed. He had left his glasses, which he had removed in order to skate, with me.

I went up to his bedroom, intending to give them to him. I knocked. There was no response. I turned the handle and was surprised to notice it was not locked.

I switched on the light.

I was shocked.

There were multiple posters of me on the wall. In my skating attire, on ice.

Realization struck me. He looked up to me. I was his idol.

It shouldn't have had been so shocking. I was the top skater in the world, after all. It was only natural that skaters would look up to me.

I looked at Yuuri, who lay asleep on his bed. He looked so pure and serene in his sleep. I planted a kiss on his forehead. I suddenly felt embarrassed. I immediately returned to my room.

'Aww, so cute.' Phichit said. Yuuri blushed.

'Yeah right.' Yurio said, making a face. 'My turn now!' Chris said.

Otabek looked at his watch, and suddenly said ' Guys, I have to go now. I...I would be Dj'ing at a nearby club for an hour or two.' DJ'ing was Otabek's other great love second only to skating.

'Well, then let's all go.' Viktor said. 'We'll have a great time!'

'Yeah!' Chris exclaimed.

'Count me out.' J.J said.

'Why, what's the matter, J.J?'

'It's nothing.' he said. 'I just don't want to, that's all.'

'Want another drink, Yuuri?'

'No.' Yuuri said. Yuuri was aware of how he found it difficult to stay level-headed when he was drunk, and so he tended to be extremely cautious in order to avoid embarrassing himself.

'Okay, guys.' Yurio said. 'I am going to see if Otabek could do with some help in DJ'ing.'

'All right.' Chris said. 'The four of us would continue. Things are going to get R-rated, anyway, so we better not have kids around.'

'I'm twenty-five, Chris.' Yurio said, before leaving.

'So, tell me about the first time the two of you had sex.' Chris said. Yuuri rolled his eyes.

'Yuuri, since I told the last story, i think you should tell this one.'

'M..me?'

'Yes, you, Yuuri.' Viktor said, putting an arm around him and kissing his cheek.

'Uh, okay.' Yuuri said, reddening.

Soon after we got engaged, the two of us had joined our beds together. We would often lie together and Viktor would spoon me to sleep every night. I would feel so comfortable in his arms, so safe and protected.

I suspected Viktor often thought about having sex with me. That's what couples did, after all. We had made out lots of times, but we never went all the way.

As weird as it sounds, at twenty-four, I was still a virgin. I was never as interested in sex as the other guys while growing up. When I was in Detroit, i had come close to losing my virginity twice. The first time was with a girl I knew. I did not really like her much, I thought she was rather pushy. I still remembered how she treated me when I was at the hospital because of a rinkmate's accident. She treated me like a weakling. And I hated her for that. But I was drunk at that party. Not tripping drunk like I was at the banquet, but drunk enough to forget I hated her. When she started hitting on me, I responded in kind, and soon we were full on making out. We were lying in bed, naked when suddenly realized I felt absolutely nothing. And I freaked out and ran away.

When I told Phichit about my encounter, he told me that perhaps I did not enjoy it with her, because I wasn't into girls. He helped hook me up with a guy he knew.

That guy was hot. But somehow I ended up freaking out again. I wasn't made to have sex with strangers. And I had never been in a loving relationship before.

When had I told Viktor I was a virgin, he had laughed, and said 'You are so cute, Yuuri.''

I couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Did Viktor think I was a loser because I was a virgin at this age?

After the Grand Prix, we moved into a flat in St Petersburg. Viktor spent the next few days enthusiastically showing off the city he grew up in.

After one such hectic day, I was extremely tired and sweaty. I stripped off my clothes once we reached home, intending to change. Then, I noticed Viktor's eyes on my body.

While this was not by any means the first time he was seeing me naked, the intense lust in his eyes could not be mistaken. He wanted me.

And I wanted him.

'Viktor.' I said. 'When are you going to have...uh...sex with me?'

Viktor looked at me for a moment, silently. Was he angry with me somehow? Then he smiled that heart shaped smile of his and hugged me.

'I wanted to for so long, Yuuri! I was just waiting for you to bring it up. I did not want to come across as pushy or pressurize you into something you don't want.'

That day, we went shopping for condoms and lube. And that night was the best night of my life.

'That's it?' Chris asked. 'You won't cough up any more details?'

'What do you want to know?' Yuuri asked, crossly.

'Which of you topped.'

'Viktor did.'

'But Yuuri did the next time.' Viktor added. 'We take turns.'

Hearing Viktor and Yuuri's story had touched a nerve in J.J's reminded him of himself and Isabella.

He had never really loved anyone else. They were childhood sweethearts after all.

They lived in a personal paradise for a long time. She was so proud of his accomplishments, and he loved her with all her heart. Then one day, the tabloids spread a rumor that J.J was cheating on Isabella with another of the J.J girls. Initially, Isabella laughed it off, saying that he trusted him with his life. But as the rumors grew, Isabella began to grow suspicious. And J.J felt annoyed by her suspicions. The spaces between them started to grow, and one day, Isabella declared she wanted a divorce.

J.J sighed. How could this have happened?

J.J had never even thought about being with another girl. how could he move on?
