All About Us [Yuri Katsuki x Reader]

17 - From here on out

After a good cry, you pulled away from Yuri's embrace and apologised for your actions.

He just gave you a knowing smile and graciously accepted with a mock bow.

You rolled your eyes at him.

You felt lighter. It  was if a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders.

You did not know how you managed to keep it all from your best friend for this long but you were glad you came clean and told him what was bothering you.

But even with the huge load off your shoulders...

You still felt a pang of emptiness.

Memories that you tried so hard to repress resurfaced all because you were physically weak to keep it hidden.

Yuri told you to stop blaming yourself.

But could you really?

You have lived with the guilt for a while now and you couldn't just...move on.

Yuri noticed your solemn expression and placed a hand on your shoulder, snapping you out of your thought, "Are you...okay?"

You jerked from his touch which garnered a worried look from him.

You put on your best 'I'm-okay-please-stop-looking-at-me-like-that' smile, "Don't worry about me, Katsuki..."

He frowned at that.

"I've just bawled my eyes out," you sheepishly rubbed the back of your neck, "I feel loads better, believe you me."

"Are you sure?"

No.

"Sure, I'm sure," you beamed, trying to reinforce the fact that you are fine, "Don't worry your pretty little head over me all the time."

He staggered backwards his mouth almost hanging ajar, "P-p-pretty?!"

You nodded as you stood up from your seat and stretched a bit. You winced as you accidentally touched your wounded arm.

It would probably leave a scar...

"Ouch! What the-" you tried to bite back a curse, "this hurts!"

Yuri recovered from his embarasment at your weird choice of words to describe him and sighed.

"I'll just get the first aid kit...again..."

You pouted, "What the hell was I thinking...yanking out the needle like that..."

He shrugged, "Who knows, (Y/N)? Who knows?"

You glowered at his retreating form.

Despite all of that, the two of you got even closer than before.

Sure, there was a couple of squabbles here and there but you two became like two peas in a pod. Nobody ever sees one with out the other. And a lot of them (Phichit) was wondering just what exactly happened.

He began to ask you if the two of you were...romantically involved to which you would just smile at him and leave him hanging while a certain Japanese skater was left as a red stuttering mess.

You trusted Yuri more than anyone.

He was your best friend.

He was your confidante (of sorts).

But of course, there were times which made you question yourself for putting all your trust in him.

"Umm...surprise?" He smiled sheepishly as you glared at him and Phichit.
