Denial and Acceptance

Shrines and Phone calls (5)

"Vitya! it's time to go are you even up!" I yelled through the Hot spring A little panicked"Hey Bro Calm down," Mari said walking out in a Blue Yukata that had no pattern with a Purple Obi and a Lit cigarette"Mari... you haven't worn a Yukata since we were kids.""Mama said I should consider since when are bringing a new family member... so I did..." "Doesn't your sister look precious?" Mama said walking out in what looked to be a new Yukata is was white but covered in pretty purple flowers her Obi was Blue"sorry I'm late your Husband wanted to wear a yukata, so I had to help him put one on. Papa Said "Yuuri~" I heard a voice called from down the hallway getting closer "How do I look," He said finally reaching me, I looked at him, and wow did he look great, sure his was only black with a grey Obi, but at that moment I understood why men in anime drooled when girls wore Yukatas. it was a dream Come true."well? Gonna answer my question? I'm not speaking Russian right?""Oh, you look great! I was... I was just taking it all in... that's all."Victor was apparently pleased with this answer, especially the last part, but then he looked at me, and a Look of disappointment filled his face"Are you not gonna wear one Yuuri? I was looking forward to you in a Yukata you know.""Oh... No sorry... I feel girly wearing Yukatas... I hope you're not too disappointed...""So Lovebirds can we hurry me and Mama want to stop to get hair done. You know Mama doesn't know how."After that, we all left the Spring closing it for the day and headed to a salon where Mari and Mama got their hair done... Oh, Victor got a trim and style while there as well. During this Papa and I sat at the vending machine outside. Once those three were done, we all Headed to the Shrine and Walked up the stairs People were Already there. When word got out, we went to the shrine for luck before each season more, and more of the town did the same. As we reached, the top everyone turned to clap... It was embarrassing as always, But I wasn't gonna let that bother me. I picked up a wood Tablet and Wrote when I did every year "I hope to Qualify for Worlds and The Grand Prix Finals.""Yuuri... you should wish for something else... you're going to qualify, or I'd have to quit as a coach for that big of a failure.""But I always put this.""Yuuri come with me." Victor said taking my hand and bringing me to the wish wall, "read these to me, I can't read them.""Oh uh, I hope that Victor and Yuuri have a good life together.......... I wish For Yuuri to Wins worlds this year..... I hope Victor and Yuuri Dominate the Season... I can't read this one it's in Russian..""That's mine... It says I hope My dear Husband continues to believe in his self and His decisions.. but if your gonna make that kind of wish... I guess mine wish isn't going to come true. By the way, it's an interesting choice to write your wish in English instead of Japanese.""I... do it, so Minako doesn't yell at me for my choice in wish....""Where is Minako anyway," Mari asked"she was out drinking late last night... she told me she'd be late."They continued to Talk, and I looked down my wish and Began to wonder... Maybe Victor is right this wish is one the old me would make... But, I'm not that guys anymore... I threw the tablet in the Fire and grabbed a new one. I Knew my wish it was the same one I made when Yurio came to Japan to take Victor away. I opened the Marker... "I wish to eat Katsudon with Victor. I wish to do that and win this season! I hope you root for me!" I wrote it twice in Japanese for the residents of Hasetsu and in English for Victor and Hung it up between Victor's, and Mari's. Mari's said "I hope Yuuri takes me to more competitions this year" Ahh typical Mari. Hours Passed and Minako finally arrived she was wear sweatpants and T-shirt, No Yukatas for her this year. Minako made her wish, Which was basically Mari's wish but with hope for Chris's room number, and all of us went to get food on the way we ran into the Nishigori's turning our Party of 6 to a Party of 11, the Triplets were each in a yukata, once Pink Another blue and the last Purple. Yuuko wore one that was Blue with pink flower her Obi was Purple, so she matched each triplet and her husband like me wasn't wearing a Yukata.after dinner, we all headed home, but Victor soon got a Phone call that would change everything"Vitya, this is Yakov... you and Yuuri must move to Russia at once... the worst-case scenario has happened. Nikolai Plisetsky is Gravely ill. Yuri refuses to live with me. so I gave him a choice Me or you, he chooses you.""can't he just come here!" I said Panicked"Absolutely not! I need him in Russia for practice!""But his Grandpa is ill he should take the year off.""I agree, but Yuri says he refuses to take the year off... he doesn't want 'to seem weak' like anyone would blame him.""Well, we can't go now! It's so sudden we need to pack! we need to tell mama we need to-""Yuuri. Stop. it'll be ok." Victor said calmly"please Vitya you're my last hope, I need you here," Yakov said it was apparent, he worried about Yuri"we will be there as soon as we can.""Ok right now Otabek is there with Yuri, so he's not home alone, Otabek will be there when you get there," Yakov said Hanging up."Guys... Victor and I have to Leave Japan..." I saideveryone stopped walking at once and turned around"WHAT!?" They said in Unison
