Well the wait is over and welcome to a Victuri chapter, which also happens to be heavily involved with Otayuri... haha. Sorry. Enjoy!

Yuri's POV 1st Person Omniscient

Victor finally let me out of the house today, we were supposed to go to training yesterday but I sneezed and Victor canceled despite my many pleas that it was only allergies and I was fine. He's not acting like himself, he was so freaked out when I was sick and still can't seem to relax around me. He's hovering and doing things, and running errands. I get the feeling it's all just to get away from me. Why? I know I did something when I was sick, something I can't remember that hurt him. I just don't know what I could have done to hurt him so badly. He acts like he's afraid to be with me. Afraid of me.  

"Victor!" I call and his head pops out of our bedroom, 

"Yes?" He says through a mouth full of toothpaste, I laugh,

"Come on, we're going to be late!" He nods and disappears again, I hurry downstairs and fill our water bottles, checking over everything we may need for the rink. I'm so excited it's ridiculous, I haven't been on the ice in what feels like years and can't wait to get back out there. Victor comes downstairs and grabs his bag, "Ready?" I ask, he smiles at my enthusiasm,

"Ready." I push him out of the house, and down to the car, turning on the heat the second we get in. When we reach the rink I'm through the doors before Victor is even out of the car, I wait in the entrance for him, he raises his eyebrows as if to say, He's totally crazy. We make our way to the locker rooms, slightly late, and run into Chris inside. 

He whistles, "About damn time you lovebirds came out to practice, Yakov's pissed that you took so long." I smile,

"Yeah, I know right, blame him." I say, pointing to Victor, "He wouldn't let us go yesterday because I sneezed and he thought I was going to die or something." 

"Not true!" Victor interrupts, and playfully smacks me. Chris just watches us and laughs, 

"You're insufferable, I can't imagine what it'll be like when you get married." Victor's smile slides off his face suddenly, and he turns back to tying his skates. Why? Chris throws a questioning glance at me and I echo his confusion. He nods once and grabs Victor by the arm, "Come on," He says, pulling him to his feet, "You can help me hit on Mila," Victor rolls his eyes and is dragged from the room. I hope Chris gets something out of him, maybe he can explain it to me. I turn my attention back to my skates and resume tying them, preoccupied. What did I do? At last my skates are tied and my stretching is done, I head out to the rink. My face lights up as I put on my temporary guards and start to leave the locker room. The door swings open suddenly, almost hitting me, I stumble back. Yurio appears in the doorway, accompanied by Otabek, both wearing skates. 

"Just go and practice," Yurio says to him, exasperated, "I told you, my skates aren't tight enough, I can retie them myself!" He sits down on the bench and removes the guards he wears, there's not a trace of ice on his blades. He looks up, and seeing Otabek still standing there repeats, "Becka, just go! I'm fine, I'll be out in a minute!" He hesitates and disappears, saying he'll be right on the rink. Yurio sighs and mutters, "I'm fine!" to himself. 

"Hey Yurio," He jumps and looks up, apparently noticing me for the first time. 

"Oh, it's just you," He says, relaxing, "Hi." He turns back to his skates and begins to untie them, his hand shaking slightly. That's not normal.
