A/N: Hellooooooo dear readers!! I'm back ((not completely tbh) I'm sorry for being gone for so long and making you all wait.. I lost my hype for YOI (and been sucked by the One Piece fandom) so I'm re-watching it again to get my inspiration back. This chapter is short please forgive me but when my inspiration return it will be my usual 2k-3k words again. Rest assured I will not abandoned this unless stated.

Same warning as usual. I have no beta so all mistakes are my fault.

I own nothing.

"Shocking News: Living Legend, Viktor Nikiforov caught in the act of fighting with his co-competitor Pride of Thailand, Phichit Chulanont. The witness said that it was Nikiforov who started it first. He just suddenly walked in front of the innocent Chulanont and punched him on the face.... So Viktor care to explain what it was all about." Chris asked smoothly to Viktor who were busy typing on his laptop.

"It's a long story, Chris." Viktor sighed without looking up to his best friend his eyes focused on the open word document on his laptop.

As soon as he arrived at Yakov's room the old man started to scold Viktor about his carelessness but as usual Viktor didn't listen, making his coach sighed in exasperation. So instead Yakov told him to prepare a press release for the press conference Yakov organize. Viktor also informed Yakov that Phichit were willing to help for this matter which makes Yakov slighly pleased. After that his coach went out to talk with the reporters about the matter and leave Viktor to write his press release. A few hours later Christophe arrives to ask him about what happened and now here they are.

"Well." He started, looking at his wristwatch. "We still have time before your press conference. Summarize it." Chris grins to him and Viktor rolls his eyes.

"Fine. If I didn't finish my press release you are the one to blame okay." Viktor said jokingly.

"That's why I tell you to summarize it." Chris retorted back. Viktor scoffed and started to tell Chris everything that had happened. Everything.

"So you mean to tell me that you mistook Phichit as the husband of Yuuri, your ex-girlfriend which you still love, and decided to give up on her because the two had a child and punched him because you caught him in the act of infidelity but the truth is he's just a friend and turn out you are the father of her child and I knew it there's something happening with Phichit and that korean skater." Chris amusedly summarized the story that Viktor had told him making Viktor nod in confirmation.

"Wow." Chris muttered in amusement then he looks at his friend with a frown. "Wait a minute. Why did you not told me about this?" Chris asked a little bit hurt. "Am I not your bestfriend?" Viktor look at him with a pout.

"Of course, you are my bestfriend. It's just a little bit painful to talk about it and I'm not yet ready." Viktor said in a small voice. Chris sigh and give Viktor a soft smile.

"Hey now, It's fine. I'm not pushing you." Chris dismissed when the atmosphere turn somber. "Anyways, you meet up with this Yuuri and her child, right?" he asked, changing the subject. At that Viktor's face lightened up.

"Of course. I reunited with my love. She'd gotten more beautiful and our child is so lovely as she is. Chris, she got my eyes." Viktor said in delight, waving his left hand on the air. Chris noticed something glistened on his friend's finger, catching the hand mid-air, Chris look shocked when he saw what is on it.

"Ring" Chris muttered in shock. "You're getting married?" He added with eyes wide and sparkling. Viktor cuffed his left hand with his right before raising it up above, the light hitting the metal band, making it shine.

"Yes. It took me ten years to give the other half to my Yuuri. This time we promise, no running away" Viktor said in a soft voice while gazing lovingly on his ring. Chris watch his bestfriend with a smile. This is the first time he saw his best friend this happy. He looks young and alive. This Yuuri and his kid with her must be very special that they could make his bestfriend this happy.

Chris and Viktor had been friends for a year but all those year he never saw him this genuinely happy. He may seem happy to everyone but Chris knew that behind those smile there's something missing that he couldn't decipher but now it was different and it was all because of this Yuuri.

"You should introduce her to me." Chris said as he crossed his arms on his chest. Viktor turn his gaze towards him, smile still plastered on his face.

"Of course. I will also introduce you to my dear Luka. You will definitely like her." Chris laughed softly as Viktor started to gushed about Luka completely forgetting his press release. Well, he had nothing to do so he might help Viktor with his press release.

It's been half the day since they learned about the news. The four of them were staying at Phichit and Seung-gil's shared hotel room. Luka was sleeping on their bed as Phichit and Seung-Gil were discussing what they will say at the Press conference later, they had already told Viktor about their plan of coming out. Viktor really appreciate it but at the same time he became worried about it but Phichit and Seung-Gil said that it was fine and thought that it is the right time as well, while Yuuri was reading the news about Phichit and Viktor. There are a lot of speculations about what happen some of it was positive but the majority of it was negative. Yuuri stared at her phone with a serious look then after a while she turn her eyes at his friend.

"Phichit. I was thinking of going to the Press Conference." Yuuri said in a serious tone. The two look at her with a frown.

"Are you sure?" Phichit asked with a worried tone. Yuuri gave him a small smile.

"Yes. I want to be there to support you two and Victor after all it was partially my fault and this is the only thing I could think of." She said sincerely.

"Yuuri." Phichit exclaimed, speechless. He couldn't think of any word to say to her so he just glomp her in a tight hug, burying his head on the crook of her shoulder.

Yuuri could feel her bestfriend trembling in her arms and realized that he's being overwhelmed at their current situation. He may always put on a smile on his face but Yuuri knows him well. Yuuri knows Phichit for ten years for her not to notice that her bestfriend is scared. He is scared at the outcome of his coming out. She knows how hard he had work just to reach where he was standing now. Yuuri hug Phichit back, wrapping her arms around him comfortly, running her hand back and forth on his back as Phichit started to sob.

"No matter what happen I'm always here for you, Phichit-kun." Yuuri whispered to Phichit. She felt him nod and Yuuri let out a small smile as she look at Seung-Gil who were watching them with a gentle look on his eyes.
