We first met at a post-competition banquet. They're usually boring, stuffy events where I have to talk to sponsors and bigwigs and pretend the conversations are interesting. Then Yuuri got drunk, started taking his clothes off and challenged me to a dance-off, asking me to be his coach if he won. [ A dreamy sigh. Fond memories. ]

The way he looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes almost made me melt.
