If they'd talked about it, Yuri would have shut it down. At once. Because kissing and relationships are for old married people to worry about. Who needs that drama?! Not him. If he can barely handle friends how is he supposed to deal with - a partner or a boyfriend or a girlfriend or whatever.

But Otabek snuck up on him. And whatever this is, it's good. So Yuri clings tight. Taking his time exploring Otabek's mouth, now that the frenzy has passed. It would be a lie to say he never wondered about how it would feel.

"Congratulations," he mumbles. Belatedly. He's smiling, and it probably looks stupid but he can't help it.
