Okay, this is crazy. I got more views, favs and follows for this than ever before, and I'm thrilled. I'd like to thank midnightsky0612, and iridiscent08 for their reviews. I hope Yurio was not too OOC in the last chapter. I don't own YOI.

'Why did Victor have to change his mind?' I said. 'This makes things so complicated. I had thought we could finally have given this charade a break.'As I said that, I recalled something Victor had told me a long time ago. 'You have to always do the opposite of what they expect. How else would you surprise them?''

I was in Hastesu with my family. I had wanted to meet them once before heading to Detroit for the tournament. My family, Minako-sensei who was there with us right now , Yuuko and Nishigori were one of the few who knew that the whole 'Victuuri'thing was not real.

'Victor changed his mind, because he wanted to meet you, Yuuri. He totally has the hots for you're

'What the hell do you mean?'

'I mean Victor Nikiforov totally has the hots for you, Katsuki Yuuri.' Minako said, calmly.

'Minako, have you been drinking again?' Mother asked 'Though I must admit, I'd rather have Victor as a part of our family than Miyoko.'

I turned red. 'Wh, Yuuri 's blushing.'

'It's not like that, I tell you.'

'Are you sure, Yuuri? Think about it.'

I couldn't help thinking about it for a second. Victor had always seized every opportunity to be close to me, even in private...No, don't think that. The possibility was not impossible, though. By his own admission, he was not incapable of being attracted to another man.'

I frowned. If it was true, it was not good. I could not get involved with Victor like that. That would be wrong. He was my idol and nothing more.

'I definitely would not mind having Victor Nikiforov as my brother in law." Mari declared'

'Let's not talk about Victor now.' I said, grabbing a pork cutlet bowl. It had been quite some time since I got to eat them Mmm... they sure were delectable.

'I hope you haven't been eating too many pork cutlet bowls.' Minako said. 'Hmm. Let me check.' She put a hand on my jacket. I tried to escape, but she ripped it off me.

I tried to cover it with my hands. But they had already seen it. The ring I wore on a string around my neck. My 'engagement' ring.

'Oooh!' Minako said. 'I thought it was just Victor who had the hots for Yuuri. But it seems like it is reciprocated as well .'

'It's not like that.' I began. 'Yeah right.' Mari said.

I sighed. I obviously could not wear the ring when I was with my family, but somehow, I did not want to keep it away from my person. Somehow, inexplicably, I had grown attached to it. It was meant to be a lucky charm, after all. It was Victor's idiotic idea to call it an engagement ring.
