They met up with Yuuri after the exhibition ended. He was also with his husband and the other skaters.

"Maria, Clara, Anderson!!!! I'm here! Really sorry for leaving you guys, but the show was about to start and I couldn't leave the dressing foom..." Yuuri mumbled from inside his husband's embrace.

"Yeah, that's all well and good, but here's the thing, why didn't you tell us that you're an international figure skater?" Maria asked false sweetness dripping from her words.

Yuuri's eyes widened comically,

"I didn't say? Gomen- ah, sorry Maria chan, I thought I already did tell you all, and then it never came up." Yuuri apologized accompanied by puppy eyes, dammit, they can't stay mad at him now.

"You really downplay yourself." Viktor mumbled from beside him and got a look from his husband.

Viktor looked up and addressed the trio, "he used to call himself a dime a dozen skater, even when he was Japan's ace!!" Viktor supplied dramatically much to his husband's irritation.

The trio's eyes widen,
"Jesus Yuuri, how do you keep not telling us these stuff?!?!" Questioned Clara.

Yuuri was fumbling for words, when Viktor supplied from beside him,
"Well, since we all know now, how about we head into a restaurant or something, it's almost lunchtime anyway."

Grinning, his friends took the opportunity to get to know Yuuri better.

*******

They went to a (surprise surprise) Japanese restaurant to eat, sitting down Viktor grinned a brilliant heart shaped grin,
"So, what do you all want to know?"

"Well, since Yuuri is really shy about his work life..... How decorated is he?" Asked Clara. Clearly in a mood to gain as much blackmail material as possible.

"Well, He holds the 2018 Winter Olympic silver medal, is a three-time World and Four Continents champion, and won five medals total at the Grand Prix Final between 2015 and 2019, in addition to other medals and prizes. He holds two consecutive World Records for highest score in a men's singles free skate program."

Their faces would have been comical if anyone noticed, but Viktor was busy pointedly looking at Yuuri who was hiding his face.

" you're very proud of him Viktor. " observed Anderson.

"How can I not be? My husband is such an accomplished skater!!" Viktor input and they nodded sagely. But Yuuri snorted,

"Yeah, sure, I'm accomplished, this is coming from the most decorated skater in history, he has five consecutive gold medals. He won gold in everything in those five years." Yuuri says clearly proud of his husband.

"So, both of you are skating gods, no one's surprised anymore, so you guys met through skating?" Maria asked and was surprised to see Yuuri's face turn a violent shade of red while Viktor was laughing hard.

"Ok, there's a story there, a story I want to know." Clara says and Yuuri's protests were shut down by the trio saying they really needed more information on him which was complete bull and everyone knew it.

"Well, Yuuri wasn't having a good season that year, and after a competition, there was a banquet....." Yuuri groans,

"You are never going to let me live that down?"

"Nope! Anyway, Yuuri is a sore loser, so he drank...... A lot then challenge Yurio to a dance off, he asked me to be his coach if he won the dance off -which he did- then he pole danced half naked before passing out and forgetting any of that ever happened."

The trio was staring at Yuuri wide out and open mouthed. They couldn't even imagin Yuuri within ten meters of a stripper pole, never mind him pole dancing.

Anderson seems to have his bearings back before the other two,
"I'm guessing you accepted about coaching h then?" He asked.

"Well, of course, after five or so months, I saw Yuuri performing on of my gold medal routines, and he did it so well the video went viral.so I got on a plane and flew to japan, his family owns an onsen, I decided to stay there and before meeting him decided to take a bath." Viktor took a pause and Yuuri groaned again.

"Please stop, they really don't need to know that story."

"Yeah we do." Maria cut him off and Viktor started again.

"Well, it seemed that he learned just then that I was in the onsen because he came running..... Straight to the hot bath."

Yuuri's face met the table and his friends kept a hard time not choking from laughter.

"Well, I didn't tell you to stand up did I? 'Hello Yuuri! Starting today I will be your new coach. You're going to get to the grand Prix final and you're going to win' " Yuuri quoted, and started a new round of laughter. Viktor merely shrugged and took it like a champ.

And that's how Maria, Anderson and Clara found out that they were friends with a world class skater who is married to another world class skater.
