Episode 2 canon-divergence.

Yuuri wasn't the type who was brave enough to call into one of those radio stations in an attempt to sing a part of his song. He wasn't the kind to post a YouTube video of himself singing it. He simply did his own thing, generally only singing it to himself when he was alone.

It was a melodic sort of sound. Sweet and clear on the ears. He used to listen as carefully as he could in order to memorize it. And now his mind played that song over and over.

It was said that your soulmate would have the exact same song playing in their own minds, and that you could find each other that way.

With the advancement of technology these days, anyone could find their soulmate if they tried hard enough. Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, all the social media sites made it easy to connect with large audiences.

Twitter had the hashtag #SoulSong where people would upload and reTweet the various Soul Songs posted by the minute.

His friend Yuuko had told him that he should do it, but Yuuri was skeptical. Mostly because it was private to him. While some people felt no shame or worry over having others hear their Soul Songs, he wasn't in agreement. The world did not need to know something so personal.

So Yuuri retreated into his own mind, just barely humming the tune aloud. He wasn't a great singer, and his voice certainly couldn't go high enough to reach the notes naturally, but that was fine. He only had to use a falsetto. His song was perfect as it was.

When Victor Nikiforov came to Japan, he thought he'd find a twitchy young man in need of some serious help. And in a way, Katsuki Yuuri was like that, but he was also different.

Better.

Yuuri was a fan, and sometimes he was stare at Victor as if he could lasso the moon. And other times he would smile at his childhood idol, and shake his head as if Victor had just done something foolish.

Victor didn't understand, but he let the other man have his secrets, because while Victor would pry on some things, not everything was his business.

Still, as Yuuri's new coach, he made it a point to keep an eye on everything his fellow skater did. The little twitches of the face when he was annoyed. The furrowing of the brows when he was frustrated. The exuberant jumps for joy when he successfully landed his triple axels.

Yuuri was a bundle of emotions in a small package, just begging to be unwrapped and explored. It was difficult for someone like Victor to keep his mouth shut at certain times, but for Yuuri he tried.

He tried so hard.

If only because Yuuri made him feel like a person. Not like some prize that was unobtainable. Not like a toy that needed to be won.

And yes, though hero worship did shine through a few times, he never acted like he had a right to Victor. He would even doubt thing the Russian had told him at times. That doubt the other had in Victor's words offended him sometimes. But Yuuri was used to being let down, so Victor tried hard not to be the one to break his heart. If only because he'd accidentally done it once before.

Yuuri hummed to himself, twisting and twirling in a way that he loved when on the ice. Some would say that he spent too much time on step sequences, but in his mind, he was simply doing what he loved.

And his Soul Song was echoing in his mind, practically begging him to skate.

And Yuuri skated, because he loved it and it was his time to himself.

Himself and his Soul Song.

Victor had heard it.

There was a random sound that came from Yuuri at times. It was pretty. Victor couldn't even remember the last time he thought of something as pretty.

But it was pretty.

Yuuri's voice ascended into a falsetto, making Victor think of young male choirs. Clear and crisp, and ringing of innocence.

Though sometimes Yuuri would clam up upon realizing that he'd been singing. He'd flush terribly and then refuse to meet anyone's gaze for hours at a time.

Victor wanted to know the rest! If only because it was so pretty.

And then the day came.

Yuuri had gone out to Ice Castle early, or so his mother had claimed. That meant that Victor had to rush on over. He didn't want his dear Yuuri to overwork himself. Yuuko explained that Yuuri had a habit of practicing for too long and that she even had to restrict him at times.

However, when Victor stepped into the rink that morning. He found Yuuri simply lightly skating from side to side, his voice carrying with an echo, and the heavenly music that he'd been humming over the past week, was given more presence.

And the longer Victor listened, the more familiar the music sounded. It was just… tweaked.

Unable to help himself, he skated out to Yuuri's side, catching him by the arm. Yuuri's eyes popped open and he began to stutter incoherently as he gripped the other to stabilize himself on the ice, but Victor did care about that. He understood why that song was familiar, but he needed verbal recognition.

"I know that song!" he insisted. "I've known that song for years!"

Yuuri's mortified face was hilarious and almost popped a laugh from Victor, but he was focused on the tune he'd grown up dancing to.

Pursing his lips, Victor proceeded to whistle the tune he had known. It sounded like Yuuri's but instead of a heavenly choir, it was fast paced and sounded like something he'd dance a tango to.

His poor Yuuri gave a squeak and buried his face in his hands.

"You know what this means, right?"

Yuuri nodded, though he refused to look up.

Victor threw his arms around the other skater. "We're soulmates!"

Another squeak.

"I'm so glad that it's you!" Victor continued to gush.

Perhaps he was being too forward, or maybe Yuuri was just not used to people being genuinely happy to be with him. Either way, Yuuri fainted dead away in Victor arms, leaving his safety in Victor hands until he awoke.

Victor merely smiled and buried his face in Yuuri's soft hair.

They could deal with the ramifications later. But for now, he was very happy.

A/N: Another is done!

-If no one got it, they both had On Love as their Soul Song, but Yuuri got Agape, and Victor got Eros.

-So a particular person is going around attacking Victuuri stories. They've managed to get 1 writer to pull their story and delete their profile. Several of my Tumblr friends have gotten 'reviews' from this person and are getting annoyed that she won't just fuck off. And the fact that we have screenshots of the reviews before deleting them, only adds more to it. So far, 6 people have been on the receiving end of this, and have had to report her. It's getting ridiculous.

How was it? Let me know!

Check out my other fics!

See ya! :D
