All About Us [Yuri Katsuki x Reader]

27 - Found

The walk back inside the building was silent and all the way back in, you trailed behind Yuri holding his arm like a lost child.

Well you sort of did felt lost.

Lost in thought.

At a lost for words.

Your eyes were puffy and your cheeks were flushed.

You would have been embarrassed to be acting like this but for now, you didn't care.

You just relished the feeling that Yuri was there for you.

You didn't speak and he didn't force you to. There was still a lot to resolve between the to of you, but you decided to put it all in the back burner for another day.

Celestino gave you a lecture for your sudden disappearing act, nagging on and on about how you should have at least told someone that you were going outside.

You took his reprimands wordlessly.

You even ignored all the scathing looks Damon sent your way. He did very little to hide his disdain for you, even with all the fake smiles.

The moment it was your turn to skate, you drowned everything out.

It was just you and only you.

Nothing else mattered.

The music lulled your senses and guided the movements that have been drilled into you a thousand times over during practice.

You would have liked to say that you got this in the bag.

But the judges thought otherwise.

Your scores barely made the cut even with you taking first during the short program.

You did feel a little bad that you didn't make it to the top three. You know you had it in you to win...you just didn't feel your best with everything that had just took place.

You were honestly just glad that whole ordeal was over.

Yuri placed second. He teared up a bit when his scores were announced.

You were happy for him, you really were. You gave him a hug and in a reversal of roles, he was the one crying on to your jacket.

After the fact that Yuri had placed sunk in to him and stopped crying, you excused yourself.

Your best friend offered to accompany you but you wanted to be alone for a bit.

You felt restless.

As you walked around, you noticed that a certain brunette was having his picture taken with a well-practiced smile.

Damon placed first.

You waited until there was just the two of you by the bleachers.

He sneered when you approached him. You only wanted to congratulate the guy but his verbal assault (no matter how subtle) made you want to run the blades of your skates through his face.

"Listen, I know there is no way that we'll never be anything near friends-"

He scoffed.

You grabbed him by his jacket, forcing him to look you in the eye.

"But you better get one thing through your head," you seethed, "What happened to your brother that night, I would have gladly taken his place."

He didn't even so much as bat an eye lash.

"Wow, I didn't know you were so noble." He hummed, smiling sweetly, removing your hands off his person as if you were the most vile thing on the planet, "I'll try to keep that in mind...dead last~"
