Katsuki Yuuri had a dream.

In the dream, he found that his knee was no longer aching, but flexible and free like a brand new one.

"Come on, Yuuri!" He heard someone yelling in his ear, and gently grabbed his hand, and they ran forward together.He was running so fast and so free that he began to suspect that the crash was just a dream.

The hand holding him suddenly loosened.He looked around and found that he was standing on an asphalt road, with lush forests on both sides of the road, exuding the unique coolness and smell of plants.He could even smell gasoline and blood in the air.

"Yuuri," someone was saying, "Yuuri...please..."

"Wait for me." He heard himself say tremblingly, "Wait for me...I'm coming...please wait for me..."

But he couldn't take a step. He lowered his head and found that his legs had merged with the asphalt road.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!……"

Katsuki Yuuri woke up screaming.He sat up abruptly, his eyes blurred due to brain ischemia, he panted heavily and covered his face with his hands.

He sat like this for a while, and only when his heartbeat slowly subsided did he raise his head again—and then, again, he was startled.

He found that he was not in the room where he had slept last night.Actually, he wasn't in any of the rooms, and the needle-like thing under his ass wasn't a bedspring fault—he was lying on a haystack in a warehouse on some farm!He sniffed and caught a whiff of animal droppings.

...I'm going to kill Victor.He thought so hard in his heart that he didn't even bother to think about why he was here.This must be Victor's whim again, and God knows why, when it comes to Victor's thinking logic, it's better for a normal person like Yuuri to stop talking nonsense.

"Victor." He looked around and called out in a low voice, but no one answered, so he raised his voice, "Victor!" Still no one answered, Yuuri began to feel a faint worry: Victor would never throw him for no reason Next, unless—his heart skipped a beat—unless something happened.

With a "squeak", the wooden door of the warehouse was pushed open, and a man appeared by the door against the morning sun, holding a coffee tray and a paper bag in his hand, his facial features were submerged in the shadow of the backlight, his tiny Dust was flying around him, and he looked at Yuuri.

"Are you awake?" he said, and Yuuri knew who he was, but it only made people more confused.

"...Phichit?" Yuuri called out the name in confusion, "You...is it really you?"

Someone took a step into the warehouse—who else could it be if it wasn't Phichit Chulanon?He held two cups of coffee in one hand and a paper bag from the bakery in the other, with a calm expression as if he had just come back from a morning run.

"Morning." He said, waving the paper bag in Yuuri's hand, "I bought bagels, would you like poppy seeds or sesame seeds?"

"..." I must still be dreaming.Yuuri thought, he closed his eyes, pulled the tarp on his body and lay flat on the haystack again, it was so scary, I actually dreamed that Phichit was on a farm asking me if I wanted to eat bagels... the most let him It wasn't the bagels or the farm that was scary, but the dream was so logical it almost seemed real.He closed his glasses tightly, hoping that when he opened them again, he was already back in the hotel room, covered with a fragrant eiderdown.

Something hot touched his cheek—the bitter aroma of coffee, Yuuri opened his eyes, and his friend Phichit Chulanon was looking down at him curiously.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked with concern, "Would you like an aspirin?"

... wake up, wake up!This is so weird, Yuuri exclaims to himself!I'm getting goosebumps!

"Uh, I see, you're so happy," Phichit said, "Okay buddy, relax, your savior is here and you're safe! Phichit is here to save you!"

As he said, he sat down on the haystack next to Yuuri, and there was a crackling sound of crumpling paper bags coming from his direction, followed by the smell of oatmeal bread—Yuuri opened his eyes.

Phichit Churanon grinned at him with a poppy seed bagel in his mouth.

"...Phichit!" Yuuri yelled, sitting up again with a sudden jerk, this time his head was even more dizzy, he really needed an aspirin, but he doubted that even the medicine would relieve his discomfort, he Where the fuck is it, what happened?

What about the Victors?

A bagel was stuffed into his hand.

"Eat!" Phichit said, "This will give you strength. We have to drive for a long time! We have to go to the police station when we go back."

"What police station? What are you going to do?" Yuuri asked while holding a warm bagel, a cup of coffee was stuffed into his other hand by Phichit.

Phichit looked at him cautiously. "Well." He said vaguely, "The matter of calling the police can also be slowed down, depending on your mood."

"Phichit!" Yuuri yelled, "What the hell is going on? Where the fuck is this? Where the hell did you get Viktor? What are you doing here?" Phichit swallowed the bagel and raised his hand to signal him to take his time.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofs,"he said, complaining, "no hugs at all 23 chastity."

"...Huh????" Yuuri said, "Huh????????"

"Eat, eat!" Phichit said, pushing the bagel towards his mouth, "It's not as good as school breakfast, but it's still food."

"Phichit Churanon!" Yuuri snarled, "You tell me right now, where is this? Where did you come from? Where's Victor?"

"Victor Victor Victor, that's all I've heard since I came here," Phichit grumbled, "As if you cared about him—he's fine, sleeping in the hotel! As for me— Didn’t you ask me to come?????”

"..." The memory from a day ago slowly came to life, God, it seemed like a century ago, "Get a car to pick me up!" Yuuri remembered saying this on the phone, but that was Before he and Victor came to an agreement, and so much happened after that, he completely forgot about Phichit... "Oh my God." He moaned and gave a guilt-ridden glance Phichit, the latter was pouring white sugar into his mouth, which made his guilt a lot less.

"How did you find me?" he asked.

"Landlines at gas stations are all numbered." Phichit said, chewing white sugar granules, "I found out where you called, and then searched the towns along the way. This is the first one with a dance school. Small town, you said you were looking for that Lilia or something, I guess you may think that she is teaching here, so you come to try your luck." Phichit took a sip of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect my luck That’s great, when I first arrived in town, I heard the news that two outsiders beat up the town’s golden boy, and when I heard that one of them was a handsome silver-haired man, I knew it must be you.”

"..." Yuuri was dumbfounded, as if everyone had turned into a detective overnight, he felt unreal, "Are you going to give Holmes the glory too?" he murmured.

"What? I like Hitchcock better." Phichit said, "What is 'also'?"

Yuuri waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.He silently took a bite of the bagel, it tasted very good, and suddenly he remembered something.

"If you come to help me, Victor said that you will fail your subject..." He said, feeling very touched in his heart, although he knew very well that Victor would never fail a student's course for personal reasons, but Phichit obviously didn't know At this point, he still came.

Phichit took a bite of the bread with a sad face. "Don't mention it," he said, "I just heard before I came here that he was very likely to be elected as the youngest vice president of this school. I think I may disappear for a while. How the hell does he make everyone like him so much The other vice presidents are at least 45 years old!"

"He's just like that," Yuuri said, feeling a little proud and helpless, "You'll fall in love with him after spending a few minutes with him, that's his special ability."

"Oh." Phichit sighed, "It's too miserable to be targeted by such a man." He raised his coffee and drank it down. "When will you finish eating? When shall we hit the road?"

He stood up as he spoke, but Yuuri grabbed him.

"Wait a minute," Yuuri said seriously, "Go on, it's not over... What happened after you found us? I'm pretty sure I fell asleep in a hotel bed, but I somehow got here." He saw Phi Ji opened his mouth, and said again: "Don't call me sleepwalking! You know that can't fool me!"

"Oh!" Phichit made an annoyed voice, "Okay, okay, relax! I said yes... I opened your door with a universal key card - I just know a friend who can help — I'll get you out of you both fast asleep. Very peaceful, no conflict, if that's your concern."

"..." It was history repeating itself, Yuuri screamed while tearing his hair, "Can you please stop kidnapping me while I'm asleep!" He said angrily, "How did you all do it????? ?”

"Oh? You mean Victor did the same thing?" Phichit asked with great interest, "Wow, I didn't say that buddy, you slept too much...Have you considered sleep therapy?"

"..." Yuuri had to keep emphasizing to himself how much risk Phichit took to save himself, so he couldn't hold back from yelling at his ear, "Where are we?"

"A farm five kilometers outside the town." Phichit said, "I wanted to take you back to school overnight, but I was too tired. In order to chase you, I only slept for less than five hours yesterday..." Yuuri thought There was another burst of gratitude, and he couldn't help but make up his mind to repay Phichit twice, but at this time he said: "And to be honest, you talk so much in your sleep, it's almost like night terrors! I have to find a place to put you down, so So I can listen to what you have to say—"

Yuuri looked at him, resisting the urge.

"Thank you." He said dryly.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Phichit said, "You and I, we will depend on each other. Two innocent teenagers who do not succumb to the dark forces, bravely say no to human rights violations! Then on a beach with the sunset as the background , I met the girl I was destined for, she had long seaweed hair, a super hot body, and a fiery red hibiscus flower in her ear, we fell in love at first sight, so I said 'hey man I'm retiring' and you said 'No! I don't agree!' Then at this time the human trafficking group took my girl away, so we went out of the rivers and lakes again, fighting side by side for the last time, sublimating our feelings in the process..." Phichit closed his eyes, and began vividly paints a blueprint for what is clearly a bad Hollywood movie.

"...ummm, let me interrupt," Yuuri said, "you have to take me back."

"Then my girl was lying in my arms, and I said... what?" Phichit's eyes widened, "What did you say?"

"Why did your girl die..." Yuuri couldn't help but said, "Could it be too soon?"

"This kind of story is like this, the girl died, the brothers went back to the road, and since then they have helped justice-completely anti-feminism, I look down on them, but this kind of movie usually has a particularly cool explosion scene, wearing sunglasses is not good Go back." Phichit said, "That's not important, why do you want to go back?"

"It's a long story," Yuuri said, but Phichit certainly didn't look like someone who would be fooled by that statement.

"Say it to entertain me," Phichit said, folding his arms. "Give me a reason why you're going back after I went to such lengths to rescue you from the perverted sensualist."

"Because there's a lot going on..." Yuuri said, "wait a minute, who's the satyr?"

"Nikiforov!" Phichit said, "Oh dear, you are obviously Stockholm, he kidnapped you, OK? I will never send you back."

"...you kidnapped me too!" Yuuri yelled, "Remember?" Phichit just waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Don't worry too much about the details," he said casually, "I heard it all, I was in the hotel lobby last night, and neither of you noticed!—I ain't unhurt, buddy, but I forgive you I heard—I heard what you two were saying there," he paused, looking at Yuuri's expression, "...'kissing' or something, I heard what he said! Never thought he was actually Such a person!" Phichit said angrily, "It's really a person who can't be judged by its appearance!"

"..." Yuuri's face turned red with embarrassment, he didn't expect Phichit to see this scene, but he couldn't care less about the embarrassment, there are so many ways for Phichit to know Victor, why is this one kind?He said eagerly: "It's not like that, you misunderstood, he was joking..."

...but is it his?Yuuri was also not sure, maybe Victor really thought about it, otherwise where did this endless joke come from?Now after one night, Yuuri was able to calm down and recall what happened last night, and he realized that the reason why he reacted so violently was because—he felt that such a proposal should not be groundless.Victor felt he could be pleased this way, and it made him feel aggrieved and angry.He would rather Victor think of himself as ignorant, than he would think of himself as this...whatever, he couldn't find a word to describe this kind of behavior.

"I don't think it's a joke." Phichit said coldly, "I think he's plotting something wrong."

"Really not," Yuuri said, "You don't know the whole truth...he's just guilty...you have to send me back or he'll really be in a hurry, and if he's in a hurry, I don't know..." If Victor Woke up and found himself gone, probably thinking that Yuuri had run away again, and he couldn't help but feel a palpitation when he remembered Victor's reaction when he tried to escape the last time - he hoped that Victor was well, he hoped that they would forget about each other peacefully, Instead of making Victor sad again and again. "You must send me back! Immediately!"

At this moment, as if to prove his words, Phichit's mobile phone rang suddenly, the two good friends looked at each other, neither of them moved, finally, Phichit took out his mobile phone.

"...unrecognized number." Phichit said, showing it to Yuuri, Yuuri glanced at it quickly, his heart sank.

"...it's Victor," he said, "it's him."

"..." The two looked at each other, and Phichit suddenly panicked.

"How did he find me?!" He yelled in horror, "Does he have special powers?!"

Instead, Yuuri calmed down. He looked at the flashing incoming call reminder on the phone screen, as if he saw Victor's frown on the other end of the phone, "He may have checked the hotel's surveillance video." Yuuri pointed out that Phichit was annoyed called out.

"Damn it!" he said, even at this time he did not forget to imitate the character in the tough guy movie in the 90s, he beat the haystack with his fist, full of drama, he should really learn acting, "a hundred secrets and one sparse !"

"..." Yuuri found it difficult to agree with him, "I can think of it, how could he not think of it." He said, "Victor is so smart."

"'Victor is smart', oh what are you, a housewife from Hasetsu?" Phichit said, "You are sick, buddy, I will find you a psychiatrist later, and let Guanghong talk to you chat."

"Guanghong studies philosophy!"

"But he doesn't want money." Phichit said, took a deep breath, and answered the phone. "Hey—" he imitated Al Pacino's voice, "Mr. Nikiforov, Yuuri Katsuki is in my hands."

"...Give it to me!" Yuuri gestured at him, "Give it to me, let me tell him..."

Phichit dodged left and right to avoid his snatching, Victor said something on the other end of the phone, he said in a low voice: "Uh huh, that's right - you don't need to know, I am a partner of justice. ... Oh thank you I think I imitate it too, I mean - that's my voice, ahem! The damn Gulf War, it ruined my vocal chords."

"..." Yuuri watched dumbfoundedly as he ran to the other side of the warehouse, hiding Yuuri far away.

Victor said something again, Phichit covered the phone and turned to Yuuri, "He wanted to ask if you slept well last night?"

"..." Before Yuuri could open his mouth, Phichit suddenly remembered something and said, "No, how can I convey his words?" He picked up the phone again, and said sternly, "This is not your business to ask." .” Two seconds later, he put the phone down again, and turned to Yuuri: “Did you cry last night?”

"...Give it to me!" Yuuri's face was burning hot, "Let me tell him!"

"Go away!" Phichit mouthed, and he said into the phone, "Cough - Mr. Nikiforov, I'm... uh, uh... yes... bagels and coffee... I know! I'm very grumpy , isn't it?..." He glanced at Yuuri, "It's okay, he's been a little swollen..."

Yuuri stood there, rolling his eyes.

"Ah, ah, okay, I know...understood." Phichit said, "Thank you...good day? I wish you a good mood..."

He hung up the phone with a complicated expression on his face.Yuuri looked at him indifferently.

"Al Pacino did a great job." He said sarcastically, "Coppola called just now and is going to ask you to play the sequel of "The Godfather"-he is going to find you a role in "Nurse" Role."

"You'd think it would humiliate me," Phichit said, "but you really didn't. I did imitate Al Pacino very well. And if "The Nanny" does start filming, you'll regret it now. Say, I could have invited you to the Oscars."

"..." Yuuri smiled helplessly, "I was wrong, can you tell me what Victor said?"

"Uh... He asked if you slept well, did you eat, and said that you get depressed when you get up early-who am I, I'm your roommate! I don't know about your bad temper when you get up early?- Then he asked Be careful on the road, if you can, I hope you will go to him before you leave. No more....As a kidnapper, it seems that you have no position, right?" Phichit said, "And he also said that he likes mine Essay—do you think he is serious? Is he the kind of person who will be praised casually because of human relations, or is he the kind of person who is good or bad? "

"...if you didn't deserve that compliment, he'd rather die than say that," Yuuri could only say, watching his friend switch sides, and he's now—although he hasn't realized it yet— ——I'm a fan of Victor through and through.

"Oh!" Phichit yelled happily, and then seemed to realize his position, he quickly put on a straight face and coughed. "But that can't buy me!" he declared. "I'm on your side—but why are you fighting Victor?"

Look, look, it's become Victor.Yuuri rolled his eyes inwardly, trying not to show his mental activity on his face.

"He kidnapped me." Yuuri said blankly, "You just said he was a pervert."

"Oh!" Phichit was reminded, "This...ah... I believe there is something hidden." He said seriously, "There is a misunderstanding here."

"What have I been telling you?" Yuuri said.

Phichit waved his hands carelessly.

"Come on, talk!" Phichit said, "I don't mind listening to some stories and exercising my brain."

"...I have nothing to say," Yuuri said, "I told you the other day."

"But I think there's something else going on," Phichit said. "I mean, it's not his fault, is it? Actually, he didn't have to give up his career and then belittle you...I think there's a story behind it." , what did you not tell me?"

"I really told you all." Yuuri said with a guilty conscience, he was not used to Phichit's torture, "It's really gone."

"Okay." Phichit said, "Then what happened last night?"

"Uh, last night..." Yuuri searched through the mess of memories, "It was a misunderstanding. He found out that I liked him before, and then..."

"Wait a minute!" Phichit said loudly, interrupting Yuuri excitedly, "You like him??????? You didn't say this until now? You have to do this before your friends come all the way Say it! I thought I was in Hurricane Rescue, take what is this, 'my best friend's wedding' scene?"

"...Stop watching movies," Yuuri said, "No scenes, if you have to say... Mulan. I mean, he used to have long hair, I was kind of silly when I was a kid, I thought he was a girl, do you understand……"

"...Damn..." Phichit was shocked, "Damn...do you really like him????"

"Like it!" Yuuri emphasized, "Like it, okay?"

"You don't have to stress that you're straight," Phichit said, "Gays don't dress like you."

"...Are you here to humiliate me or to hear my story?"

"I'm here to experience the real version of rush hour, if you must know." Phichit said, "I didn't want these, thank you."

"Who do you want to be in Rush Hour..." Yuuri couldn't help but say, "You know Viktor singled out five all by himself last night, right?"

"But I have my special sunny smile." Phichit said, showing an eight-toothed smile, "Can you tell me, can anyone not be melted by my smile?"

"Dentist won't," Yuuri says, and they both smirk at each other.

"So your crush on Victor is just a teenage crush, eh?" Phichit said, crossing his arms, "Hmm...I don't believe it."

"...that's true," Yuuri said.

"Really? Then you look me in the eye and you say 'I don't have a thing for Victor'."

"I don't have a clue about Victor."

"'I'm not at all jealous to see him with someone else.'"

"Seeing him with someone else makes me... not jealous at all."

Phichit and Yuuri stare at each other, playing a silent game of blinking. A minute later, Yuuri blinked his burning eyes and backed away.

"Aha!" shouted Phichit, "I got you! I know what you look like when you lie! Liar! You have feelings for him!"

"I..." Yuuri gave up the struggle, "Well, maybe you're right, I still have feelings for him—satisfied?"

"It's okay..." Phichit said, "Next question: why didn't you agree to him?"

"……ha?????????"

"Didn't he say last night, make out!" Phichit said, pouted and made a kissing gesture, "Why didn't you say yes?"

"Are you crazy?!" Yuuri yelled, "He was just kidding!"

"So what!" Phichit said, "No one will suddenly make such a joke, okay? Don't you know that you are the most serious when you say it with a smile? What did he say? In fact, I heard him ask you Stop making out."

"Yeah, that's a common mistake," Yuuri said, "He..." He couldn't repeat Victor's words.

"Whatever his reason!" Phichit said, "Doesn't he feel that he owes you something, let him pay with his flesh! It's worth it! It's worth it!"

"...You sometimes really make me wonder how low a person's moral bottom line really is." Yuuri said, "Why do you say that too??????"

"So Victor said that too?" Phichit said, covering his mouth in surprise. "Wow, I have to say, I've been feeling pretty clear-headed lately—I mean, isn't it natural? He thought Give you something else, you don’t want it, if you like him, he will give you what you like, this is hard to understand? Why you refuse is the problem here.”

Phichit said seriously: "You are honest, you are not... impotent, are you?"

"Wow, you're really worrying me." Yuuri said coldly, "No, okay? How could I do something like that? Then who am I, it's disgusting!"

"Is there..." Phichit said, "Well, in most cases, I agree with you... But I think the standard can be relaxed in special cases, for example, when you have the opportunity to date a handsome guy, you It's okay to be a little selfish—he's the indirect reason why you can't dance anymore, after all, right?"

"I can't dance anymore because of the drunk truck driver," Yuuri said, "It's none of his—"

"He felt it was related," Phichit said.

"So I kept telling him it wasn't like that!" Yuuri said angrily, "I kept avoiding him, I even hid to the other side of the country to go to college, but he still followed me..." Phichit's expression Make him realize he's talking too much.

"I knew it!" Phichit said pleasantly, "He came for you! It makes sense! I knew our school is not enough to keep people like him!"

"Your pride in the school is touching," Yuuri said, "So you get it? He could have had a much better life than this, so I can't… trip him up with things like this."

"After all, I'm just... me." He said sadly, "He's too good, I don't deserve him."

Phichit frowned and thought for a while.

"Hmm." Phichit said, "In that case...you should sleep with him once more."

"..." Yuuri was about to be overwhelmed by his anger, "What? You weren't listening?"

"No no no!" Phichit said, "Listen to me! He feels that he owes you, right? He won't stop until he pays off the debt. If you keep refusing him compensation, it's tantamount to disturbing his conscience. He'll keep doing it until he finds a way you can live with—how about you just let him pay what he owes you, and then you'll have nothing to owe, right? We can go our separate ways.”

"..." Yuuri was shocked by his bold speculation and didn't say a word for a long time. "This..." he said, "This... can't be done!" He said with a red face.

"Where can't it be?" Phichit asked, "Can't we lose our virginity in the hands of the most handsome man in the school, or can't we not owe each other to each other from now on?"

Yuuri's instinct is: neither will do.But he realized right away that it sounded selfish.

"There is another way." He said blankly, "I...I will try...to accept his compensation. But not that!" He emphasized, "Then we will not owe each other, which is very OK, thank you."

"...Your face is ugly." Phichit said, "Does your heart ache? Thinking about it, there will be nothing to do in the future."

Yuuri looked at his friend, who had piercing eyes, he thought.Phichit is his best friend, what's the point of lying to him?

"Just a little lost," he said, "because I still love him."

But he perked up quickly.

"So you're sending me back," he said. "I see what you mean—I know what to do."

Phichit groaned.

"I really think you're missing the point of me," he grumbled. "Just in case, can you refrain from mentioning my involvement here in front of Professor Nikiforov?—I still I want to take a photo with him and post it on ins."
