If it's any consolation, Otabek doesn't go for the hug, either, but does kind of jostle back a little, hands still in his pockets. It's clearly affectionate, but it might easily be mistaken as fraternal. He doesn't have many dramatic facial expressions, but Yuri knows enough about his microexpressions at this point to see how his face softens when he sees him.
It happens every time he sees him, even if he's just looked away for a moment.
But then, even though Otabek is very matter of fact about everything and isn't feeling a whole lot of pressure from within to sort through his emotional state, or even have very much of an emotional state, he's also not unaware that he's just had sex with someone he's spent the better part of his life admiring from a distance. It's less like Yuuri's suddenly in a relationship with my childhood idol and a lot more like there's an art piece that's always been his favorite and he's suddenly woken up with it in his house, his, and he's not used to it yet.
"Cinnabon," he agrees and the shift from him being all gruffly teasing and him looking like maybe he would buy Yuri all the cinnamon rolls in the world is so graceful and without comment that it's almost magic.
