All About Us [Yuri Katsuki x Reader]

76 - Giddy

Finally catching sight of the bespectacled ravenette, you bounded towards him, grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him.

"Where have you been?! I have been looking everywhere for you!"

He was about to open his mouth to answer but you went on and shook him again, "Where were you when I was being tailed by that creepy reporter guy?!"

Once you let go of the poor dark haired skater from your death hold, his hair became a bit of a mess and his glasses went askew. Yuri felt dizzy from all your shaking that he felt like he wanted to throw up.

Feeling a bit queasy, he slowly answered pointing to some direction, "I was over there...being interviewed...then I went by the vending machine to grab something to drink..."

And just like that, you dropped the subject and grinned. You wrapped your arms around him and hugged (squeezed) him, "I am so proud of you Yuri!~" you gushed.

"Uh..thank you (Y/N)-"

"Other than slamming your face onto the wall and bloodying my jacket a while ago, you were sensational, absolutely amazing~"

He gave you a curious stare, wondering where did you get your energy from, "Thank you?"

"And to think," you continued, " You managed to  inspire the next generation of aspiring figure skaters." You began to ramble.

"Um...(Y/N)?"

"Sooner or later, we'll be out of a job and then we would have to live inside a cardboard box and go dumpster diving for our next meal and use old sacks as clothing-"

"(Y/N)."

You snapped out of your rambling and sheepishly smiled, "Sorry about that...I got a bit ahead of myself."

Takeshi snorted lightly and faced Yuri, "(Y/N) might or might not have one too many bottles of energy drink a while ago,"

You pouted at your old rink mate, "I was thirsty. Try running away from nosy reporters, let's see how you like it."

"You didn't have to down four cans of Red Bull like water, (Y/N)." Minako said chidingly.*

You turned away from Nishigori and Minako. You huffed like a kid.

The three of them sweat dropped.

So what if you felt a bit jittery and felt like your heart was racing a hundred miles a minute? You felt great!

They all made a mental note to keep you away from caffeinated drinks for a while.

Minako's demeanor immediately changed when she faced Yuri with little beads of tears in her eyes, "Yuri! I was so impressed!"

He blinked owlishly and gave her a small, embarrassed smile, "Thank you..."

Looking away, Minako cupped her face with the palm of her hand. Her elated smile never leaving her face, "It was blatantly obvious that you took the younger skaters so seriously as rivals. It has got my heart pumping!"

"What if you had gotten hurt, slamming into the wall like that in the end?!" Takeshi worriedly asked.

"S-sorry..." He gingerly removed the bits of tissue he had placed in his nostrils to stop the bleeding, "At first...I was just really desperate because I didn't want to lose...but somehow, I started having a lot of fun in the middle of it."

The three of you looked at him questioningly, hoping he would elaborate.

"I don't really remember a lot about it...everything seem to blur together so it is a bit hard to explain..." He continued, "This has got to be the most fun I've ever had in a competition..."

You hummed thoughtfully, "The most fun I had in a competition was when I caught you and Phichit changing out of your costumes back in Detroit. The two of you tried to chase me down after I had taken pictures of you two in the nude," you chuckled a bit then sighed happily, "Good times...good times..."

It was silent between the four of you for a while.

"What?" You planted your hands on your hips,  "It wasn't like I hadn't seen you both naked before."

Yuri's ears were all red from embarrassment, "You...haven't..."

You blinked and placed a hand on your chin in thought, "I haven't?"

Yuri nodded, very much mortified by what you had just said.

You beamed, "Oops, my bad~ it must have been a dream then."

Another awkward silence.

...

...

...

Minako coughed a bit.

"Anyhow, you both qualified for the Grand Prix, so it's a win," Takeshi supplied.

Minako nodded in agreement, "I knew you could do it, Yuri. You were great out there."

You frowned, "How about me? I did well if I do say so myself."

The ballet instructor waved you off, "Come to me when you have gotten first place in a competition and then we'll talk."

You groaned, "Not this again. Why are you so mean to me?"

"Why are you still acting like a child?"

You paused.

"Touché."

Takeshi placed a hand on your shoulder and gave you a thumbs up, "You did great today too, (Y/N)."

You narrowed your eyes at him and swatted his hand from your shoulder, "Don't touch me, I am the night!"

His eyes widened, "Don't tell me you're still upset about the Red Bull thing."

"It's not that," you said, "I just don't like you touching me."

"Harsh..." If Takeshi could cry a river he would, "I wonder who is the real mean one here, (Y/N)."
