You Only Live Once [Yuuri x Reader]

Chapter Thirteen: New People

Yuri gave me a supporting smile and I forced a smile to him. Phitchit turned, leading the way. Once he turned his back, Yuri grabbed my hand once again and pulled my closer. Roman jumped up, walking one Phitchit's heels. Yuri's breath fanned my ear and neck as he whispered into my ear.

"It'll be fine. I'm here. Plus you need more friends than me," I felt him smiled against my ear. I pouted and punched his arm, yanking my hand away from his. Yuri laughed, rubbing his arm. I stuck my tongue out at him and looked ahead. The closer we got, the more nervous I got. I was going to be in a room with some really famous skaters. We walked and after a couple minutes, Yuri's hand moved to the small of my back. It was a comforting gesture, but it calmed me.

Once we arrived, Phitchit stopped and turned to us. Yuri's hand dropped when he turned so he wouldn't ask questions. Yuri held the door open while Phitchit, Roman, and I walked in while him following behind. Roman barked at all of the new faces and ran. I didn't expect him to react that way, so the leash flew from my hand. I let out a yelp and looked up to see Roman sitting on a grumpy Yurio's lap. Yurio reluctantly pet him. Once roman was satisfied with his new "friendship" he moved on to Chris. Christ seemed happy to have him and cheerfully patted his head.

Yuri and I laughed. I whistled and Rowan turned his head to me. I did it once more and he bolted to me. I smiled and scratched his head, grabbing his leash so that I wouldn't loose him again. I stood up straight and looked up to see the table of skaters, they all gave kind waves (except for Yurio of course) and I did the same.

Just about everyone was there, even Victor who got a message soon after we left and had somehow beat us here. He does live in  Russia, so I guess it makes a bit of sense.

I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Yuri's hands grabbed my waist and I let out a tiny squeak as he guided me to a chair, grabbing my shoulder and forcing me to sit. He pushed the chair in before pulling up a chair next to me.

I stared at the table, cheeks heating up as I looked up to find almost all eyes on Yuri and I. Victor and Chris both had a suggestive eyebrow raised. I looked away to see Yurio huff and look away. Phitchit had a smile as usual, and Jean Jack Leroy had a smirk on his face that I really wanted to slap off.

I never liked Jean Jack Leroy. I used to call him Jean LeFuck-Boy, but I kind of stopped after a while. Yuri looked up, finally noticing the looks, before responding with a nervous, "W-what?" Without hesitating, Chris responded, "You two are just so adorable together. So much sexual tension. Have you slept with each other yet?" My eyes widened at the blunt comment as I quickly shook my head.

"No, no, no. We haven't slept together. Yuri and I aren't together anymore, remember?" I laughed nervously. Victor's eyes shot up to Yuri, "Then why was he with you all night?" His eyebrow shot up even more, this time in a questioning way as if he didn't believe me. Judging by the fact that no one was gasping in disbelief, Victor had already told them.

I blushed, "We were catching up and both dozed off," I shrugged, acting as if it was not big deal. I remembered what happened early in the morning and had to fight my blush so it wouldn't get worse.

I looked over to Yuri to see him tensed up, staring down into his lap. "Well what about your hand holding?" Phitchit questioned. "And I'm pretty sure everyone saw Yuri getting all close with his arm around you and stuff before you guys walked in," JJ joined in for the first time. I gave him a death glare and he quieted down a bit. By the look of Phitchit's face he was the only one who didn't notice Yuri with his arm around me.

Yuri looked up at that comment, his face getting more serious, "She was nervous and I was helping her," he stated plainly. Yuri knows when I get nervous, I did it as a kid and was made fun of regularly because of it. It's really easy to make fun of someone who's too bust tripping over their words to make a comeback. Everyone seemed to get the hint that it wasn't a good subject and let it drop.

Except for JJ of course.

"Well you don't seem to get nervous on the ice," JJ rolled his eyes. He earned a glare from just about everyone at the table, except for Phitchit and Chris. Chris didn't really glare. He gave more of a stern mother-type of look. Yuri was about to stand up for be before I surprised him and myself with my words.

"The ice is where I have my own world. A safe place where the only thing that can hurt me is myself. So how about shutting the fuck up before touching on a subject that is obviously not in someone's best interest," I stated, remaining calm. JJ's eyes were now wide as he stayed silent. I gave an innocent smile and and locked at everyone else. "So what were we talking about again?" I wondered, leaning my head on my hand with my elbow propped onto the table.

It was my small gesture of saying 'thanks for being nice, to pay you back I'll let you torture me with your questions.'

Victor managed to park up as if it was nothing and Chris took a moment to retaliate, managing to go back to his normal self. Yurio was smirking at JJ, he obviously didn't like him either. I felt Yuri's familiar hand rested on my leg. I turned and smiled at him before reaching one of my hands under the table and grabbing onto his. Chris's eyebrow's wiggled, "So what would be going on under the table then?" he asked, several suggestion obvious in his voice. I sighed and lifts my hand with Yuri's in it. The cause Yuri to blush, Victor and Chris to gasp and Phitchit to take a picture.

I gave Phichit a death glare, "Post it and I'll slaughter you." Yuri smiled and Phitchit reluctantly lowered the phone. Victor sighed, "I don't see why you can't just get back together. You obviously love each other. I blushed. I'm not sure if love is the right word.

Yurio seemed to get frustrated and sighed, sitting up. "Look at each other," he demanded. I looked at him oddly and he grunted. "Look into each others eyes. Don't act like it's weird, you did it all of the time," He said, rolling his eyes. I chewed my lip and turned my head to look at Yuri, he did the same and we both stared into each other's eyes. Yuri smiled at me, his big innocent eyes squinting a bit. I couldn't help but smiled back as we just sat there for a moment, staring at each other, both of use refusing to look away.

I heard voices around us, but they seemed to fade as Yuri and I stared. My eyes were E/C, not much was interesting about them, but I loved Yuri's and he seemed to love mine. His eyes were dark--Almost black--around the rims and were a beautiful shade of brown in the middle that faded back to black at his pupils. I remembered how they would turn a gold color in the sunlight, and it always made me smiled seeing them.

Although his eye color seemed dark and scary, his eye shape and expression was tender and soft. It was as if he couldn't hurt you even if he tried, and if he managed to you couldn't stay mad or upset for long. I felt Yuri's thumb run over the back of my hand and I gave his a light squeeze. After a bit I tore my gave away to see everyone grinning at us. I tilted my head in confusions and Yurio decided to state it plainly, "It's obvious you two are in love. I don't see why you can't just kiss and be together," He shrugged, rolling his eyes.

I smiled and shook my head. "Well, you have to consider our careers too. Both of us travel a lot, usually to different places. Neither of us need that kind of stress right now, especially Yuri with his career starting to take off," I explained as if it were the simplest thing on Earth. Everyone stared at me. I gave them a look of confusion and Victor just smiled, resting his chin on the heel of his hand.

"So you admit you both like each other?" His had a large grin that made me wonder how much farther he could go before his face rips open. I face palmed and let out a deep sigh, mostly just a way of hiding my blush, dumb, but it worked well enough. I didn't have to even look to know Yuri was blushing too. I sighed and stood up. "I think I'm just gonna leave," I said, trying my best now to sound rude. I nudged Roman's leash to let him know we were leaving and he perked up, giving up on begging Yurio for food.

There was a chorus of short goodbye's and an "Awe, come on!" from Chris, but I continued to walk out. I waved at everyone, giving them a smile.
