I was going through this fic, and I noticed quite a few spelling and grammatical mistakes. I guess I must apologise for them. My laptop is not working, so I am typing the entire thing on my phone, which is not easy for me. I'll fix the mistakes once I get my laptop repaired, but please bear with me till then.

I don't own YOI.

'It is time for the two of you to end this charade. You must stage a breakup.'

'What?'

'It's wouldn't be too difficult. One of you should act jealous. Then, you can publicly break up.'

'Wait.'

'Victor, it won't be too difficult. I'll be talking to Katsuki Yuuri about it as well.'

I sighed while I thought about the conversation.

Staging a breakup would mean eventually cutting off all ties with him. I was not sure I wanted to do that. I did count him as a friend.

I was so confused and frustrated about the whole thing that I was unable to perform as well as I normally did in the short program. I thought I made up for it during my free skate. Yuuri, on the other hand, did not seem to be overly was in the rink right was skating beautifully.

His song was a sexy upbeat composition quite similar to Eros. I know this might sound funny, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. I would have to be blind to not notice his hotness. He did his turns effortlessly. He had included four quads in his program, which he executed flawlessly.

He ended up getting a score that was minutely lower than mine.

JJ was next. He had done extremely well in the short program. He was full of energy. He had regained all the confidence he had lost during the Grand Prix. He had just got married, and his wife had helped him boost his confidence a great deal. He performed more quads than both Yuuri and I.

When he finished, his score was higher than mine.

I looked at Yuuri as he stood on the podium with JJ and I. I wondered if he would make a move to break up. Neither of us winning was a circumstance they hadn't predicted.

'Vitya.' a feminine voice called out. I was taken aback. No one called me that outside Russia, except for Yakov.

I turned around, and saw a tall, pretty young girl, whom I had never met before. She walked towards me, and clasped my hands. 'Vitya.'

I was about to ask her who she was. Probably a crazed fan. ' I tru to be nice to my fans, but sometimes they take things too far. Before I could do anything, she kissed me, full on the lips. Stunned, I was about to push her back when I noticed the cameras flashing. I had just been smooched by some strange girl in front of a bunch of paparazzi.

I couldn't bring myself to speak, to explain stuff. I was just so stunned by the whole incident, I did not say anything. Even when the girl said 'Are you later, sweetheart.' before she walked away.

I turned on the TV. Yuuri Katsuki was being interviewed. He was being asked about what he thought about his fiancé 'cheating' on him. I reeled at that. I had done many things, but never have I even once cheated on a partner.

They explained it to me later. They got this girl to make it look like I was cheating on Yuuri with her, so that Yuuri would make a show of ending things with me. They did this as we were unable to stage a breakup after the skating tournament.

'I understand that it had been a mistake on his part which he would never repeat.' Yuuri was saying on the TV. 'I still love him a lot. I'm willing to forgive him.'

What was he thinking?

'I am so tired of playing by their rules .' Yuuri said, when I got a chance to ask him. I want to start playing by my own rules. That's why I did not dump you like they asked me to. I thought about coming clean to the public, but I then realised how it would affect our reputations. So, I thought we could pretend we're still together, and I'd invite you to Hastesu. We can let the public picture us banging, when what we'd actually be doing is have a great time skating in ice castle Hastesu, bathing in the hot springs and feasting on hot Katsudon.
