YOI FanFic Quotes

“I… I wanted to write about you. I don’t know, at some point. Maybe a character inspired by you. You’re just…” He pauses, and when he continues, there’s a newfound confidence to his tone. “You’re interesting. The way that you act. The things that you do. If I were to write you, it’d be hard to capture that, because the way that you are is hard to explain in words.” Victor doesn’t say anything—isn’t sure what to say. “It’s like you’re drowned in diamonds,” Yuuri explains, “but the materialism—the diamonds themselves—they aren’t what truly make you happy. What makes you happy is watching the light reflect off of them. Does that make sense?”

It made sense. It had crept up on him slowly, little by little, touch by touch, word by word, smile by smile. Viktor had always been a part of his life, for as long as he could remember. Yuuri was like a planet orbiting a brightly burning star, caught in Viktor's gravity. First he had worshiped him and then he had hated him but Viktor had always been there, always a part of him.

“I might get fat someday,” Yuuri said. “And I might go bald,” Victor said. “So? You’re cute when you’re round. It’s just harder to skate that way. Easier to get hurt. Someday we won’t be skating. I think we will still find things to love about each other. We can live next to the ocean and teach young people to fly, and own dogs and go for long walks on the beach.”

‘For every time we’ve done it right,’ Yuuri was saying, ‘we’ve done it wrong five more times.’ ‘It only took Edison one success out of a million failures.’ ‘Yes,’ said Yuuri flatly, ‘but we’re not making light bulbs.’ ‘You’re still making light.’

Love is a decision made by the other person, Yuuri—for reasons of their own. It’s not something you have to understand, you know? It just is. You don’t get to decide something else for the other person. Sometimes what you see in your head isn’t the same thing other people see. If we want to love you and support you—and we do, because you’re family, no matter where the hell you go and no matter what the hell you call home now—then we will. There’s nothing you can do to change that.
