Okay, I am not really in a good mood right now, as I had a rather bad experience with this fandom for the first time. It was partly my fault, and I'm not really blaming anyone. What happened was that I felt some people were acting a bit too pushy about a certain ship, and I wanted to tell them that they're free to ship whom they liked but they shouldn't force it on anyone. However, I think I worded my opinion poorly, and it ended up looking like I was hating on the ship, and I feel pretty bad about that as I'm definitely not one to hate on ships. Anyway, I ended up getting a bit of backlash on that, and I ended up feeling like crap. I just needed to get that off my mind, which is why I'm sharing it here. Anyway, let's get to the story. YOI is awesome, but I don't own it.


Victor

'Victor!' Yuuri's mother cried when I reached his home. 'There's been a terrible accident on the rink, and Yuuri's seriously injured.'

'Crap.' How did that happen? Yuuri normally never hurt himself even while doing the most complex of jumps on the rink. He was a Grand Prix silver medalist, after all.

'Victor, I got a call from Yuuko. She says that Yuuri wants to see you immediately.'

Why would he want to see me of all people?'

'You may see him, but don't take too long.' the doctor told me.

I rushed in. I was shocked to see how vulnerable Yuuri looked on the hospital bed. He looked like a sad little child who wanted a hug. 'Victor.' he said. 'Victor, lie next to me.'

'What?'

'Come on, Victor.' he pulled me next to him, onto his bed. Taken aback, I reluctantly joined him, and placed an arm around him. He scooted closer towards me. 'I love you, Victor.'

What!

'I loved you.' he repeated, and kissed me on the forehead. 'I really do.'

What was going on?

'Don't worry.' Yuuko, who was waiting outside told me. 'Yuuri tends to babble things that don't make sense when he is in pain. If he said anything weird, he probably didn't mean it.

I love you. the words kept ringing in my ears.

No one had ever told me that before. Not earnestly, anyway.


I packed my bag. Then I booked a ticket to St Petersburg.

Pretending to be lovers had taken a toll on both of us. It was time to end it. I did not care about what the public thought anymore.


Yurio

'What's the matter, Yuratchka?'

'Grandpa, I was wondering...how do I get to have it all?'

'What?'

'There's so much I want from life. I don't know how I can accomplish everything.'

'Oh, Yuratchka. You can't.'

'What?'

'You can't have everything you want, Yuratchka. Life doesn't work that way. You have more than what you need, and you should be thankful for it.'


I sighed.

You can't have everything you want, Yuratchka.

I badly wanted Katsudon and Victor to be a couple.

But what if they didn't want that? Did I really have the right to force them into something they didn't want?

Yes, they'd make a cute couple. But did I really know what they wanted better than they did.

I knew what grandpa would say if I told him what I had done. You have a lot to learn, Yuratchka.
