Yuri felt his heart flutter by his best friend's name. Words flashed in his head. Love. Lust. Romance. Regret. Understanding. Forgiveness. Always. Forever. Again, he brushed the familiar feeling aside. He didn't feel it. He didn't feel it. That's what he kept telling himself.

But he did.

He felt that loving, longing feeling that he always did.

And he despised it with all his might.

"What are you talking, Yuuri? He's just a friend! You're being stupid, pig!" yelled Yuri, stomping up to Yuuri.

Despite being taller then him, Yuuri felt intimidated by the shorter male as he grabbed his collar, tighter this time, and shook him violently.

"Are you kidding me, shithead!? Don't go assuming that I'm in love with my best friend to think that's an excuse for me rejecting your confession, stupid fag!"

Yuuri pushed him away carefully, tears pouring down from his chestnut colored eyes, a lump clogged in his throat. He couldn't get rid of this feeling in his chest. His heart raced with shame and anxiety. As Yuri was about to walk away, he heard Yuuri mumble.

"..I know it's true..." Yuuri mumbled, scratching his arm, his body trembling, "I just know it.."

Hearing this, Yuri's bottled up anger and frustration caused him to do the unspeakable to the fragile male. With his hand curled into a fist, rushed toward Yuuri and he swung at him.

"Shut the hell up, Yuuri! Just shut up! I'll fucking kill you if you say it again!" shrieked the hysterical Yuri.

"Then just kill me!"

Yuuri's sudden scream came with a fierce wind, the sakura trees swaying violently with the pink petals falling. He clutched onto his shirt, feeling the fast beating of his heart. His head hung low, as he was apologizing.

"I don't even know why I am in love with you! You're so cruel, Yuri.. I can't understand why I'm still in love with you! Why can't you just accept me..?! What's so wrong with me liking you?! Tell me!"

Yuri didn't respond. He was at loss for words.

"..Why..? Why won't you respond?" cried Yuuri, "Why are you.. rejecting me like this! Why, Yuri!? You're so selfish and cruel! You-"

His sentence was cut by a heartwrenching sob.

"Shut up! You wouldn't understand why I'm rejecting you like this!" The Russian, who was once in power and in control, broke down. Though his bead was held high, his face went red and he covered his eyes with his sleeve. Pathetic, wasn't he? He was crying in front of the person he was slightly interested in.

"T..Then tell me what's the matter, Yuri." he cooed, "I'll listen to you."

He felt a connection with Viktor. Yuri didn't know exactly was he would've called it but others would have called it admiration or even jealousy. Was it even either of those two? He had no clue.

"You'll never understand! N-Nobody understands! Nobody ever under has!" he screamed, "So just piss off!"

"Yuri.. just tell me. I'll listen to you. I'll understand so just please tell me." tears still streamed down his cheeks as he talked in a careful tone. Yuuri took a step closer to him. This alarmed Yuri, making him push him away.

"I know I shouldn't tell anyone, especially you." remarked the Russian, regaining his stability, "And don't pretend to be interested in me, loser. You're only interested because you "like me".

'I don't just like you.' Yuuri thought as he wiped away his his own tears, 'I want to understand you and learn about you. It's not just love. It's also admiration and respect. I want to make you mine by showering you with knowledge and understanding words. I just... don't love you. I want to understand and acknowledge you.'

"Goodbye, Yuuri Katsuki. I'm leaving to class now. Don't bother coming to my house anymore." Yuri walked towards where the classrooms were. He just wanted to escape. He felt sickening. Yuuri wouldn't know what he got into if they got together. He believed they weren't compatible for each other. They were just so different that they would probably hate each other because of it.

"W-Wait! Don't leave me, please!"

"Yuuri, I'm doing this for the better! You and I, we're not meant to be. So just stop... please."

"I... I can't.." his responder mumbled

Without another word, Yuri left. Betrayal? Love? Understanding? Admiration? Trust? They didn't matter to him any longer. He couldn't have them anymore. It's too much for the already unstable Yuuri. It felt horrible.

He stumbled to the boy's bathroom, holding onto his chest. His heart. It hurt. It beated violently and he could just feel the harsh thumping. He opened the door. He just wanted to give up and die.

He went into one of the stalls and sat down on the toliet. His eyes were red, along with his cheeks. It was too noticable; the fact that he was crying. His tears had stopped. Taking out his phone, he began to text his best friend: Phichit Chulanont.

---

The door creaked open carefully. He wasn't really expecting him to come, especially since he was still in class. Footsteps lead up to his stall and there was a knock.

Knock.... knock.... knock....

Now, there was this special knocking rhythm he and Phichit shared. Silly, as others thought, but they knew too well of each other that they had a knock for different occasions. Yuuri could just hear the thumping of his heart in his ear.

"Yuuri? Is that you?" a certain voice asked with a slight Russian accent, "Are you okay?"

Yuuri cursed under his breath, trembling. He was going to embarrass himself in front of who Yuri liked.

"I-I'm fine."

"You don't sound 'fine'. Do you want to talk about whatever happened?" he responded in a soothing tone.

Yuuri was going to refuse, but then he thought over it. Maybe if Viktor knew of how Yuri was treating him, he'd feel bad, right? Yuuri did know whether Viktor liked him or not, but he wanted to find out.

"..Sure."

He came out of the bathroom. Tears suddenly pouring out, as if the confession was starting again.

"W-Woah! You're crying? Hold on, let me grab my handkerchief!" cried the older boy. Yuuri was surprised by his kindness as Viktor pressed it against his cheeks. "N..Now, what is the matter, Yuuri? Why were you crying?"
