Of Monsters and Men (yuri x otabek)

After II

A/N: Anja's life five years after, I thought it'd be nice to give her a cute little love story with, you guessed it: Pichit Chulanont. I was always thinking that they'd be a good couple, and then I uploaded my recent chapter of "Love, Leave" and a lot of you guys were saying she was very similar to him. That's when I decided that their love story needs to happen! I literally ship anything that moves :,D. But, anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, I love you all!

Hey!

I'm Anja Ivanov! You probably know me as the overly peppy cousin of the amazing, world famous Russian figure skater, Viktor Nikiforov, or as I like to call him; Vicky. You probably also know me as Yuri Plisetsky-Altin and Otabek Altin's good friend, or again, as I like to call myself-the inspiration in naming their beautiful baby daughter, Anja Altin!

You know, I'm like that supportive best friend that helps her buddies through whatever problems they may be having without really expecting much in return.

But, if there was one thing I could ever be gifted or blessed to have in my life; that would be love. After seeing Yuri and Otabek's whirlwind of a romance unravel right before my eyes, I decided that I wanted to find something as special as that for myself one day.

Um, and not to mention I kinda, sorta, had a small crush on Yuri back then but shhhh, don't tell anyone. The thing is, I mainly just wanted to find someone in my life that would fight for me as hard as he was fighting for Otabek. He wanted to get stronger for him, so that when they reunited; they could stay together forever.

I mean, who wouldn't want a guy like that in their life? Just saying.

But, he did tell me once that anyone would be grateful to have me as their girlfriend...Except, that was almost five years ago. There have been a few promising guys along the way, but none of them made the cut you know? None of them were up to my standards, and my standards are high, they're like, Otabek Altin when he hugged Yuri right in front of his fiancee, high.

And that's really fucking high.

I guess that's the bad thing about me though, I expect too much from a person and get disappointed and unhappy when I realize those crazy expectations won't be met.

I sigh. What even are my expectations anymore though? I mean, I'm sitting in a random bar in Thailand right now waiting to meet up with some dude that I met on Instagram.

Oh, why am I in a bar in Thailand might you ask? Well, I was doing some travelling. I just felt like I needed a change of scenery you know? But I also decided that while I was here I was going to meet up with this person named Pichit I met online a few months ago.

He liked one of my photos and then slid into my dm's saying that he thought I was cute. I pretty much ignored it until I was completely desperate one night and replied back. We talked for a while, but I never felt much of a connection with him. Then he said that he was good friends with Yuuri Katsuki and I told him that I was Viktor Nikiforov's cousin.

He was all like: "Holy crap, really? I knew you looked familiar!"

And I was all like: "Yeah, glad you noticed!"

After then we slowly got closer, but not to the point that we were dating. I mean, it's pretty obvious that he likes me, but I just want to stay friends. Except, when I told him that I was visiting Thailand, he immediately jumped on the opportunity for us to meet.
