Yuri is not good at being friends. He's getting better, probably, but it takes even more work then the ice. Making room for other people is just not a natural thing. He can't believe it, some days, that people actually want to be around him. That they won't just run off, find someone easier to deal with.
Except with Otabek. With him, it's okay if Yuri forgets to call for a week, or sends a bunch of random cat pictures when he's probably asleep, or other stupid shit. He'll still answer. Talk for a bit then they go on to other things. It's nice. There just isn't pressure like with other people.
So here they are. Yuri wearing silver, and with anyone else he'd be angry. Maybe even furious. And the fire is there, except... it's different. It's Otabek with the gold. If Yuri has to lose it better be to someone who worked for it.
As Kazakhstan's flag raises above the others, Yuri nudges Otabek. In the ribs. Hard.
Smile, asshole. If you're gonna be higher then me you better enjoy it!
