Tattooed (Otayuri AU) - Soulverse 1

Chappy uno: A thirteen-year-old Yuri

"Papa! Where is my bag? I'm going to be late for school!" Yuri shouted across the house. Perfect... First day of school after summer break, a new school and he'd be late...

"Right here! Don't worry, I'll drive you to school so you won't be late." Yuri opened his mouth to speak but Viktor cut him off. "And I'll drop you off far enough from school so that no one will see me drop you off, don't worry. I've got it covered. I was once an embarrassed teenager just like you're now. Let's go!" Viktor pushed his son out the door before him after quickly kissing his husband.

"Have a good first day of school!" Yuuri shouted after them. Yuri muttered something under his breath as he stomped to the car.

"I'm your teacher Mr Burr and I hope to get to know you all soon! We have a great year of learning ahead of us so let's begin. First I'll divide you into groups and then we'll start with getting to know each other a little better." The teacher was a tall bald man. Even though his entire scalp was covered in tattoos he didn't look scary at all. Quite the opposite actually, he seemed friendly and happy.

After a short while the class was divided into three groups and Mr Burr had given three questions everyone in each of the groups should answer. First their name, second their favourite pastime and third an interesting fact about themselves.

"Hi! I'm Minnie and I love drawing. An interesting fact hmm..." A brown haired girl started. All in the circle turned to her except Yuri who didn't want to look up. He didn't want to be in this new school.. "My interesting fact is... Oh I know! I just got my first tattoo a week back! Look!" That caught Yuri's attention. The girl pulled up her right sleeve and revealed two words: She's here!

"What's that supposed to mean?" Another girl asked.

"I don't know but I hope I'll find my soulmate soon enough! I noticed it right after I had been at a birthday party so they must have been there! I hope they're cute, I like cute things." Minnie blushed with a wide smile on her face. "Next!" She wanted to divert the attention from her to someone else.

"Right, I'm Sam." The black haired boy next to Minnie began telling about himself and so it continued. Yuri didn't really listen to everyone. Most of them told about their tattoos as the interesting fact. One boy had had his first tattoo since he was just two years old. Then it was suddenly Yuri's turn.

"I'm Yuri and I use most of my spare time at the rink." Yuri still didn't look up.

"At the rink? Do you play ice-hockey or something?" A blonde, Miranda was her name maybe, asked.

"No, I ice-skate."

"Ice-skate? That is weird. I bet you dance ballet too! That's not for boys!" The bond spat. "You're..."

"How dare you stereotype sports!" Minnie cut her off before she could continue. "How do you even know that you need ballet for ice-skating? I bet you couldn't even stand on skates!" Yuri looked up, stunned. Why was this brunette he had never met before on his side? "Don't you dare say something like that ever again!"

"Sorry..." The blonde muttered.

"I bet you're a fan of Viktor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki anyway!" Sam butted in.

"Well, I mean they're so good looking and so talented so who wouldn't be their fan?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "It's a shame that they are gay." The blonde blabbered on.

"Just shut up you twat!" Minnie exploded.

"Is there a problem here?" Mr Burr asked. He was suddenly standing behind Minnie and she turned a dark shade of red.

"I was just stating my opinion when Minnie started insulting me." The blonde tried faking tears.

"I'm sorry Miranda but I heard what you said and I cannot tolerate that kind of discrimination in my class. Both you and Minnie will stay behind after this lesson." The blonde looked pale and Minnie's face was an exact copy. "Now if you'd let Yuri continue with his turn. I'll check on the other groups." Mr Burr walked away.

"You'll pay for this!" Miranda hissed.

"Sure, but I'll be sure to pay you back just the same amount." Minnie hissed back.

"Hey we should listen to Yuri. We don't want to make Mr Burr mad." Sam warned the girls. Both girls muttered in agreement.

"So an interesting fact huh? Well... both my fathers" Yuri was sure to make clear to Miranda what he was saying, "have been really successful in their sport and they are the reason my sport is ice-skating." Miranda scoffed but didn't comment on it.

When the lesson ended Yuri walked up to Minnie and Sam, they seemed to be friends already.

"Thanks for taking my side." He still didn't look up.

"Hey no problem! Miranda really should learn her place! It's a shame she has to have such a bad attitude, she's so cute." Minnie smiled. "Do you wanna hang with us? You seem a little lonely."

"Are you sure that's okay?" Yuri asked.

"Of course!"

"Miranda, Minnie, I want to speak to you two. Others can go outside already." Mr Burr said and soon all the students had left the room.

"I hope Minnie isn't in trouble because of me." Yuri mumbled as he and Sam made their way out to the grassy area behind the school.

"It was in no way your fault! And don't worry, Mr Burr seems like a fair guy and Minnie has a weird tendency to get into trouble. Besides, Miranda had it coming." Sam assured the shorter boy.

That was the first time Yuri was bullied and it didn't end there. Miranda and her gang continued to bully him whenever the teacher's or other students weren't around. They called him names and shoved him, but it never got too bad. Miranda could have been a nice friend. She looked kinda cute but her attitude ruined a lot of the good things in her.

Luckily Minnie and Sam were by his side most of the time and they always stood up for him. His already grumpy attitude only got stronger, but it kept the bullies away sometimes. Sadly it also kept the other students at a distance. Though Yuri didn't seem to care.

He never told his fathers about it and never complained to the teachers. He was determined to solve the situation by himself. He'd show those girls and boys what he was worth, that he could be even better than his fathers.
