[Yuri on Ice] Pursuit

When he woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun, and when Yuuri opened his eyes, he was instantly startled by the sight that greeted him.

Victor lay half on the bed with his head propped on his hands. After waking up from the wine, the previous flush also receded from his face, and his cheeks returned to their original fair and beautiful color. All of this was the same as usual, very normal.

The only abnormal thing is...why would Victor lie all over beside him?

Victor's perfect body without any fat is actually exposed in front of his eyes without any cover?

Seeing that he finally woke up, Victor immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, his icy blue eyes shining beautifully, "Yuuri, good morning."

This this……

However, Yuuri obviously hasn't recovered from the violent blow that fell from the sky. Apart from staring blankly at Victor's lips opening and closing, he didn't receive any other information, and all kinds of thoughts flooded his mind.

OhmyGod! What the hell did they do last night?

He remembered that after he comforted Victor to sleep, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep. Why did Victor lose all his clothes?

Thinking of something, Yuuri hastily looked down at himself, but fortunately his clothes were still on well, and there were no ambiguous marks left on his body.

Take a deep breath and make a false alarm. If something really happens, his little heart can't stand it.

Seeing Yuuri's suspicious gaze, Victor blinked, smiled ambiguously, and joked, "Seeing Yuuri's reaction just now, maybe he thought of something bad, don't worry, me and Nothing happened between Yuuri. You know, I have a habit of taking off my clothes after drinking, probably because I feel hot when I sleep, so I took off all my clothes."

Hearing this, Yuuri immediately recalled the appearance of Victor taking off all his clothes after drinking during the competition in China last year.

Taking off your clothes casually after drinking... This... is really... not very good.

"Stop talking about this, anyway, Victor, hurry up and put on your clothes." His cheeks were a little hot, Yuuri lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice.

"Oh, they're all men, so it doesn't matter if they wear clothes or not, but it's so comfortable to sleep with Yuuri in your arms~" Victor raised the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully.

Hearing this, Yuuri only felt his face became hotter, and they actually slept hugging each other all night...

In the past, this is really unimaginable...

Looking at Yuuri who was at a loss, he didn't tease him anymore, Victor arched his body slightly, stretched out his hand and hooked the shirt from the end of the bed, and then slowly put it on.

Lowering his head, Yuuri pulled the hem of his clothes awkwardly, and whispered subconsciously, "Victor should get rid of the habit of taking off his clothes after drinking, it's the season now, and the public's eyes are all on us skaters, why? If you can be so casual, maybe Victor will be labeled as a coach for dereliction of duty because of drinking indiscriminately."

Hearing this sentence, Victor was obviously taken aback, and then he bent the corner of his mouth from the bottom of his heart, and responded very seriously, "It's ok. If Yuuri doesn't like it, I won't do it again."

A few days later, the Grand Prix in China came as scheduled.

The song of Yuuri's short program is selected from an animated short film "Still Alive" that has won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and Best Original Music Award.

"Still Alive" is an animation that Yuuri likes very much. It tells the story of an eagle that was caught in a cage and imprisoned in order to pursue freedom, and finally crashed to death on the cage to achieve spiritual freedom.

The short film is about 5 minutes long, and there is only one background music "WhereICanGo?" in the whole film. This song is selected for this short program.

Because it is a music I like very much, when Victor asked his opinion when he was preparing for the show, Yuuri first thought of this song.

As a result, after finishing the choreography and other work, the first official trial skating was very effective, realizing the perfect combination of music and skating that Victor has been pursuing.

"The one playing now is Yuri Katsuki, a 2-year-old Japanese player who scored No.25 in the first round of the American Grand Prix. The track is the background music "WhereICanGo?" in the animated short film "Still Alive", choreographed by coach Victor. "

"When I was interviewed before, it was said that the theme of this season is "pursuit", please pay attention to his performance on this theme. "

Nodding to Victor, Yuuri skated to the center of the rink in his silver-gray costume.

The sound of the harmonica sounded in the venue, and Yuuri opened his arms, first in a quick succession of steps.

This paragraph shows the time when the eagle is still soaring in the sky and can dive as fast as it likes to catch its prey.

Some viewers who watched this short program for the first time couldn't help whistling. Yuuri Katsuki really changed his skating of "About Love～Eros～" last year. His skating was refreshing and crisp.

"The outer edge is followed by a bow! It's very beautifully done!"

"The next first jump is scheduled to be a joint jump of the quadruple jump on the back and outer ice and the double double jump on the back and outer ice..."

The first jump in the program occupies an important position in the whole performance. A good jump will give the judges a good impression, and it will have a good effect on the final scoring. A poor jump may affect the confidence of the contestants and further affect subsequent games.

The audience held their breath and kept their eyes wide open not daring to miss a single detail.

"It's done! The height and stride are perfect!" As the narrator announced loudly, there was a thunderous sound in the venue.

"Katsuki Yuuri has been evolving for the past two years, and it's quite different from last year." Seeing Yuuri's wonderful performance, anchor Zhuoka couldn't help sighing.

Victor standing outside the ice rink stared intently at Yuuri's every move on the rink, his hands holding the mineral water bottle tightened more and more.

Yuuri, come on.

The melodious sound of the violin appears, accompanied by the harmonica.

Ah, it's time to be caught by the wings and thrown into the cage.

Thinking of this, Yuuri immediately lowered his body, half-bent, raised his right foot, and used the speed just now to spin on the ice.

"Very nice squat spin, also a level [-] spin this season!"

"Then, according to the schedule, the next step should be the triple hook jump."

"Okay, a very exciting continuous move, and then..." The commentator's voice suddenly increased, "Triple axel! Perfect!"

Ying began to feel confused, feeling a kind of despair that he could only stare blankly at the blue sky not far away from him, which seemed to be within reach, but could not reach it in the end.It dropped its wings in frustration.

There are no jumps in this part, and it is mainly composed of continuous steps. It is all based on Yuuri's understanding and display of the work to get the acting composition.

The speed of the gliding slowed down, which was extremely slow compared to the swiftness at the beginning.In order to show Eagle's confusion, the established skating route is relatively curved, almost crossing half of the ice rink, but this is also in Yuuri's favor, and it just reflects his charm and then infects the audience.

After the bow rotated, the tone of the violin gradually disappeared, and only the harmonica still made a pleasant sound.

Finally, the climax of the whole song, the eagle bumped its head against the iron cage wall and left this world.Its body gradually became transparent, its soul rose slowly, and then penetrated the iron cage that prevented it from pursuing freedom.

Taking another look at the dark cage, the eagle turned around and flew towards the sun.

From sliding on the outer edge to jumping, "Ice jumping around the back! The final jump was also done brilliantly!"

"Following the state of the U.S. competition, Yuuri Katsuki completed the short program without any mistakes this time! The audience all gave a standing ovation!"

"Single-foot anti-upright rotation, anti-squat rotation, foot-changing, forward-squat rotation combined rotation, and then end with one-foot upright rotation. The final movement is also very beautiful!"

"Hoo hoo..." After the spin, he stood still on the ice rink with arms folded. The performance officially ended, and the music slowly stopped.

The moment the show ended, Yuuri quickly lay down on the ice and rested for a while.

Ah, all my strength has just been put into the performance, and now I feel that my whole body has no strength at all.

After lying down for a few minutes, Yuuri slowly got up from the ice, bowed to the audience, and officially exited.

In the K&C area after the game, Victor, as usual, commented on Yuuri's outstanding performance and insufficient performance one by one, "Yuuri's crouching rotation posture this time is very beautiful, but if the rotation speed is faster It's perfect."

Yuuri also listened to Victor's routine lecture seriously as before, and nodded while listening.

During the conversation, Yuuri's short program score was typed out by the judges, "112.96! Katsuki Yuuri has updated his personal best again!"

The author has something to say:

I don’t know if there was a little angel who mistakenly thought it was driving at the beginning [cover mouth and laugh] but no, actually I want to drive too [funny], but my deskmate said: "How can we be so reserved and clean? It’s driving so early.” So it’s still a long time to drive, probably after getting married.Don't beat me if you want to see the car, beat me at the same table [funny].

Then it took a long time for this update, the reason is that I got stuck... In the short program of the card competition, the idea of ​​this short program has been changed many times, because I personally like the profession of knight very much, so my initial idea was A medieval knight, similar to Chinese poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, was not valued by the king, and then because of an opportunity, he was no longer confused and left his country to pursue freedom. Such a story.

Later, my tablemate told me, you can’t do this, it’s too vulgar, and then we discussed it together, because the theme is what I thought, and the theme I set was "pursuit". The free skating was to pursue love, and then the short program It is the pursuit of freedom. I think this is more appropriate. Then we thought about the theme of pursuit of freedom. After thinking for a long time, we finally came up with this story about eagles.

But when the story came out, it was still very stuck, such as the soundtrack, such as the choreography, the choreography mainly refers to the original work, so the difficulty is not that great, but I found a bug when I was writing this afternoon while watching the anime. There were too many jumping movements in the show. I later counted the number of jumps in the China station and changed it again. Later, I felt that it was wrong. The finals should be more suitable for Yuuri's level a year later. I watched the first episode and the previous one, and the short program I counted later was a triple axel jump and a 4 plus 2 combined jump, and finally a quadruple jump.Then it was changed again.

Regarding the soundtrack, the instruments I am more familiar with are the piano and the violin, so the previous free skating used these two instruments, but it feels repetitive to use these two in the short program. I discussed with my tablemate before about using the saxophone, but today When I wrote it, I found that the pieces played by saxophone are usually more lyrical, which didn’t quite match with this one, and then when I chatted on Penguin, my deskmate felt the same way.We discussed it again, and then Baidu or something. After thinking for a long time, my tablemate asked me how about the harmonica. I thought, this is not bad, so I rectified this chapter again.

Finally, there is an explanation of the subsequent plot line. In fact, I didn’t want to write so many games. I just wanted to write about Wei Yong’s sweet daily love life. In layman's terms, it is to make a person who is half-bent and not straight become completely bent.

Then I thought I could use Yuuri to pursue what I want in the competition, such a way, but the setting is that this part of the plot mainly takes place in the free skating and finals of the China station, because if I only write about the free skating and short program later It doesn't feel very formal, so with the "Pursuit" you are reading now, Yuuri will start thinking about his feelings for Victor in the next chapter of free skating.
