"Heyyyyyyyyy! Yuuri! What have you been up to?" Phichit was face timing Yuuri, laying on his bed with his hamsters crawling over him.
"Not much, nervous for tomorrow though."
"Good luck! I'm sorry I can't be there to cheer you on!"
"It's alright, but it's late, I'm gonna go to bed, what are you doing right now?"
"Nothing! I'll leave you alone now! Good luck again tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll call you later"
"Bye Yuuri~"
*beep*
Yuuri groaned, hearing his alarm going off. He didn't get much sleep last night due to his nerves keeping him awake. He slowly rolled out of bed, walking over to the bathroom. The second he walked into the bathroom, he nearly SCREAMED. On his face was a heart drawn and pen and underneath it there were words that said 'I love you'.
Yuuri felt a itch on his wrist. He glanced down and saw that his soulmate had written an apology and explanation.
It said:
'dear my soulmate,
I'm so sorry for the drawing on your cheek
that was my friend
I'll remove it ASAP'
Yuuri looked at the message, then looked around his room for a pen. He clicked the pen open and wrote in return:
'it's alright, but please do remove it
I have a skating competition today.'
Soon his soulmate replied back
'NO WAY!
are you competing in the Grand Prix final?
I am!!
Maybe we'll meet here!'
'Yes I am, maybe we will meet
but I have to go now
coach is looking for me
sorry bye'
'Okay! Bye!'
Just from talking (well.. writing) to his soulmate for 2 minutes, he could already tell that his soulmate was a cheerful person. He quickly started rubbing the writing off his skin, and saw his soulmate doing the same. Soon there was nothing left on his arm or face, and he sighed in relieve, glad that his soulmate removed the mark.
Yuuri returned to his hotel room, disappointed in himself. He had gotten a 89.7 and was currently in last. He quickly took a shower and changed out of his outfit. He sat on his bed, thinking about his free program tomorrow. He felt a familiar itch on his wrist and saw that his soulmate had written to him again.
'Hey! Are you going to tell me who you are or do I need to guess?'
'You can guess, I'm not going to tell you.'
'Aww fine
let's talk about the performances today!'
'Oh, sure'
'Who was your favorite? My favorite was Yuuri Katsuki!
His jumps could use some work but his spins and step sequences are amazing!
I personally think the judges underscored him.'
Yuuri, being the cute cinnamon roll he is, blushed at this.
'Well, my favorite was Victor Nikiforov, he's just so good at skating, I wish I could skate like him someday."
'Oh alright! I'm sure your already almost as good as him!'
'Haha, no but thanks, I'm going to head to bed now, I'll talk to you after the free skate tomorrow'
'Okay! See you!'
Yuuri got up, went to the bathroom and rubbed the writing off his skin again. Once he was done, he flopped down on his bed and actually went to sleep.
Yuuri woke up, this time feeling refreshed because he actually got to sleep well. he quickly changed into his outfit and grabbed a pen, writing 'good morning' on his hand. His soulmate replied almost instantly with a 'Good luck on your free skate!' and Yuuri smiled. Yuuri quickly left his room, wanting to practice as much as he could for his free skate before it actually happened.
Yuuri was performing his free skate first, due to getting last on the short program yesterday. Everyone else left the ice, and Yuuri took his position in the center of the rink, as his music started, suddenly Yuuri felt a rush of anxiety and he gulped, doing his first jump, which was a triple loop. He nearly fell on the landing, needing to touch down on the ice in order to regain his balance. He quickly continued his program, going into a spin and completing the rest of his step sequences, spins and jumps.
Yuuri was disappointed in himself, it was his first Grand Prix final but he had only gotten 5th. Celestino (his coach) had to literally drag him to the bouquet after the competition. All Yuuri remembers was getting drunk, asking people to have a dance off with him and asking Victor Nikiforov for his autograph. But when he woke up the next morning, he saw a Victor Nikiforov sleeping next to him, holding his hand (which had the autograph from Victor on it) and when he looked at Victor's hand, it had the same autograph in the same location, and finally the pieces clicked in Yuuri's brain.
Yuuri must have screeched, because soon a tired looking Victor sat up, looking around the room. "Y-you... y-you're my soulmate?" Yuuri stuttered, still extremely confused at what was going on. Victor must have finally realized where he was and who he was with, because he pulled Yuuri into a hug and said "Yeah we are, but you know, I loved you even before I knew that." and Yuuri blushed a even darker shade of crimson.
Once Victor and Yuuri had changed out of their clothes from last night (Victor had gone back to his own room), they had agreed to meet at a nearby cafe. Yuuri looked around, realizing that Victor wasn't there yet. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat down, waiting patiently for Victor to come.
"Hello Yuuri~" Victor sang and he entered the cafe, sitting down facing Yuuri. "I loved the comments you wrote about me after the short program~ You must be a big fan to run up to me and beg me for a autograph!"
Yuuri nearly choked on his coffee, blushing and stuttering "I-i'm sorry, I must've been really drunk..."
"It's quite alright! I thought it was really cute! But you know... You also asked me to be your coach."
Yuuri actually choked at this.
"I-I'm so sorry! That must've been so embarrassing! You can totally ignore that if you want!"
"But Yuuri~ What if I want to be your coach?"
"Oka- Wait what?"
"Yeah! I want to be your coach! I'm thinking about retiring this year anyways! Unless you prefer I was just your boyfriend and not your coach as well~"
"Ahh.. Well p-please be my coach and boyfriend Victor!"
"Of course Yuuri~"
