A Turn For The Better

Victor's POV

I think I'm starting to understand where (Y/N) is coming from, She wants to compete. Competing isn't what scares her, But it's being alone again on the ice that scares her. When her injury happened Yuuri was in America and her parents were in Japan taking care of the hot springs. She never had a coach if I remember right. The urge to compete was obvious but not alone. Why didn't I see it earlier?

" I got it! (Y/N) and I will compete as a couple."

"Wh-what I-I can't you saw me! You skated with me!"

" Yeah, and you were amazing. Yes, I did. I get how much competing means to you and that you are scared of doing it alone."

Y/N POV

How did he get all of that from my fight with Yuuri? I never said anything remotely close to that. "How did you-"

"When you skate alone..." he paused in a calming manner, " you flowed to the music but you still were just a little too tense, but when you skated with me it was as if any fear you had was gone like you were safe from any danger the world has."

"Yuuri you listen to me I want you to compete, no matter what I chose to do. I love you and I can't stand watching you give up what you love." tears started to roll down my face for absolutely no reason.

"(Y/N) I care about you and I see what Victor said last night you skated amazingly, but when you skated with Victor you skated better than I've ever seen. All I ask is you accept Victor's offer so I can see you happy again. I love you and I know life hasn't been the easiest for you I get that and I want you to know that no matter what I care for you."

What Yuuri said struck something with me and my tears turned to waterfalls why is he so stubborn? "Thanks, Yuuri. Victor, please don't pity me. It's true that I'm scared, but you came to coach and not compete."

"Who said I wouldn't coach? The couples and male companions are held in the same place, and besides the couple compaction is held in the morning and the men's at night. It all will work out."

"But won't you be tired after competing to coach Yuuri? What if you get injured? What will people think? What if they think we're-"

"(Y/N) calm down you going to hyperventilate. I get it you have mixed emotions about this, but please calm yourself. It pains me to see you like this. The person you admired all your life is now right in front of you" Yuuri said as he pointed to Victor kneeling on the floor in front of me holding my hand to comfort me."Now he's wanting to skate with you of all people."

"Were you going to say together before Yuuri cut you off"

"Yeah, but what if they do, it could ruin your whole carrier."

"Don't worry about it. They can't control me. I don't care about it let them be mad at me. so what if it ruins my carrier. I don't care, all I care about is making you happy, and if you're happy I'm happy. Besides the only thing, you need to worry about is that I don't fall for you."

What?! why would he say that it's not like I'm worth anything. This weird feeling came over me what was it? My mind wouldn't stop.

"Yuuri will you give us a minute?" Victor sounded so sweet and caring

"Yeah, I'm going to go work out. Call me if you need anything."

"(Y/N) what is truly going on in your mind? I can tell that there is more than what you're telling me."

The hyper-enthusiastic man that you had known most of my life was now quiet and comforting. It's weird for anyone but Yuuri to care for me. I get that my whole family cares for me but Yuuri is different.

"When I was about 8 months old my parents decided to move to japan to find a better life for me. Shortly after we moved the Katsuki's were looking after me and well my parents were in a car accident and they lost their lives. And well yuuri's parents well they-" tears rolled down my eyes and I found myself unable to speak.

"Hey, it's ok. I'm here for you. Just let it out it'll get better." Without warning arms wrapped around me and just held me. I just let him hold me I was too weak to fight it.

"Why didn't you just say that to begin with?"

"I don't like to bring it up, it always hurts to bring it up. I just try to forget about it because I'm happy with my life, with the family I have I-" the stream of tears turned into a waterfall. I felt Victor's embrace tighten. I felt so weak as if I stood I would fall.

"Sshh it's ok. No need to worry as long as I'm here your safe"

I never felt this way from any action anyone showed to me before. I want to skate with him more than anything in the world "Under one condition" I was muffled by Victor's shoulder but I don't care "promise you'll never truly leave me."
