It's different, he learns, actually being friends with someone on the ice.
It's not just Yuri, either-- Viktor's friendship kind of ends up being this weird package deal with that that he wasn't expecting and Yuuri's follows and Yuuri seems like one of those people everyone just likes for some reason and so everyone else seems to follow suit. He's not really much of a people person-- people tend to find him too quiet and get bored and he finds small talk pretty exhausting, himself-- so "friendship" in this case might be too strong a word for what any of them feel towards him, but he's invested now, enough that every now and again, he'll even post something on Instagram or like a few scattered posts here and there.
He and Yuri talk more often than that, but it's still just a smattering of texts here and there and he's no better at pleasantries on the internet than he is in person, but Yuri really doesn't seem to care, so it works out okay. It's... nice. Having someone to talk to. He's spent most of his skating career not being very good at... well, most of the things other skaters were good at. Dance, talking, smiling for the camera. He's not unaware of how sullen he looks next to Viktor and Chris in some of those pictures when it was the three of them on the podium. He's just not really someone to smile and play nice with a bunch of reporters. He prefers to mean it, when he smiles.
He doesn't smile a lot.
But that's okay, too. He's an athlete. He's good at what he does. It's enough. ... Except now he's getting out there, competition after competition and skating against people he knows and one person he knows in particular and it's... different, now. He feels things more. He's still a solid skater, does the same things he's always done, just better. He's getting silver suddenly, more than bronze, though the fight to land on the podium at all is getting rougher and he misses it more than once.
And then, on the first competition to the Grand Prix Finals, suddenly he's standing higher than everyone else, and it's just qualifier, but it matters, because it's Yuri with the silver around his neck.

There's maybe a hint of a grin.
He knows how to stack the odds in his favor.
no subject
With a snarl Yuri manages to raise his head a few inches. Eyes steel. "Soldier's eyes," Beka called them, and just like he couldn't resist them years ago - no way he can now. Yuri's banking on it.
He's going to feel this tomorrow. And that is a problem for tomorrow.
Try me. Try me, I can take anything you throw at me.
no subject
It does pull him most of the way out, but not all, and the sink back in is deeper. He waits to make sure the reaction to that isn't a bad one, but then he's got one of Yuri's legs up over his shoulder, even as he's leaning down to kiss him, trusting that's a stretch that he can take.
no subject
Maybe Otabek expects a scream when he pushes back in. So deep Yuri wonders if he really is going to split. There's no way to be ready for it with everything frayed raw toomuch tooclose. In the few seconds of getting turned over it feels like Beka's gotten even bigger.
Instead the noise that comes out is a high, breathy keen. Yuri kisses back though. Fiercely. Nails digging into Otabek's shoulders.
no subject
He can't move very far like this if he wants to keep kissing Yuri, and he does, so the first few thrusts are deeper but small, almost incidental to what his mouth is doing, tongue playing with Yuri's, letting him get re-used to all the sensations without actually stopping anything. The nails in his shoulders get a low moan, more like Yuri was giving him a massage than clawing into him. He's not sure how he would feel about something just hurting to hurt, but the fire from everywhere Yuri's scratched him is amazing and the nails in his shoulder just make him feel that all the more acutely.
no subject
He's too far past the edge to consider anything else.
no subject
It's maybe that part that does it-- possession, partially, but in a way that's inclusive. Otabek doesn't own much, has never felt like he needed to call things "his" beyond what happens on the ice. But he's discovering he maybe has a little bit of a thing for "ours". And this, right here, this is their's. Yuri wouldn't let anyone else see him like this, and neither would he.
It's a thought that leads him to teeth, to setting a deep bruise in Yuri's shoulder and more on his hips, joining the others, as everything turns outright harsh for a moment, too far gone for anything else, before it's over.
no subject
This is theirs. They did this, made this, claimed this.
He clings tight as the frantic pace dies down. Sobbing for breath. Refusing to let Beka up yet, even though that would help with the breathing.
no subject
Finally, though, he rolls to one side, keeping Yuri's bent leg over his hip so he pulls from deep to shallow, but he's still inside him a little. The kiss that follows is soft, gentle, but it's not the kind of sweet he was earlier, intended as a goad. It's just calm.
Everything, for just a moment, feels calm.
no subject
After a second he pulls one of Otabek's hands back to his hair.
no subject
Probably it's a good thing neither one of them has more experience, because there's no prior sense of what's normal or isn't-- whether this kind of thing is supposed to happen, if it's better etiquette for him to pull completely out, if there's something either one of them should or shouldn't be doing.
Instead, both of them just kind of float for a while, Otabek's hand in his hair, the occasional kiss, until he finally does shift and slide out of him, until the shaking stops.
"Shower?" he rumbles out, finally.
no subject
Anyway. This is better. Practical, like Beka always is. There's a small nod from Yuri, then he pushes up. Trying to remember how legs are supposed to work.
no subject
Either way they get there, he'll let Yuri sit on the toilet or lean against the sink while he runs the shower. He doesn't seem concerned about the fact that both of them are naked, and while Yuri's got plenty of marks to investigate on his own body if he wants, there are definitely plenty to see on Otabek, mostly long, thin scratches, at least one of which looks like it's bleeding a little.
He doesn't seem to notice them at all.
no subject
He finds himself mesmerized by the scratches. How they stretch and pull over the muscles in Beka's back. The landscape of it changed, because of him. Yuri looks down at his hands. There's blood under one of the nails, drying a dark red.
"I didn't - I didn't hurt you, did I?"
no subject
"It was worth it," he can't deny that it hurt, after all, he just didn't care at the time. Turning, it becomes obvious that his chest is scratched up as well, but he doesn't seem to notice that either, reaching out and rubbing a thumb, very gently, over one of of the deep bruises on Yuri's hips, "I could ask you the same thing."
no subject
Most importantly - who put it there.
"Definitely worth it," Yuri agrees. The smile on his face fierce and disbelieving at the same time. He tugs Beka in for another kiss.
no subject
Gathering Yuri up off the toilet could be something coddling, but it really feels more just like Otabek's pulling him back into his arms after too long away, so it's probably not too objectionable, particularly when there's an accompanying line of rough, thorough kisses down his neck, hands tight on Yuri's back.
no subject
"Beka, come on, I'm tired of being sticky," he mumbles. Making no actual effort to pull away.
no subject
"Better?" it's teasing, but then, he's also kind of deliberately not getting himself in the water just yet. He's not really looking forward to how badly it's going to sting, worth it or not.
no subject
For now there's just an impatient tug at Beka's wrist. Because he is too damn far away.
"You. In."
The trade for the sting will be more kisses. So at least there's incentive?
no subject
That and maybe getting bossed under in the first place, which he's also not complaining about in the slightest.
He doesn't have any real desire to linger over the shower, but he'll indulge Yuri if he seems to. Either way, he's hard again before they're done, though he doesn't seem particularly inclined to do very much about it at the moment.
Time skip to airport?
He likes it.
Eventually they should probably get out. Deal with towels, hair, actually set about getting sleep.
They do have flights tomorrow...
no subject
But he's almost shaking, finding this quiet moment between things. Yuri feels delicate in his arms but the way that turns his touch soft has nothing to do with not wanting to hurt him and everything to do with wanting to be able to touch something softly. Maybe Yuri can feel the difference and that's why he allows it. He doesn't think very hard about it, because it's nicer not to.
They sleep tangled up in each other (mostly Yuri tangled up in him, but he's definitely not helping) and the morning is all lazy kisses and the slide of their skin, which is all building quickly to a round of really fantastic morning sex, right up until one of them sees the clock for the first time and realizes how late they've overslept.
no subject
It's not until he's tumbled into a cab Yuri realizes they haven't even said goodbye. Shit.
hey
last night was good
Not exactly poetry, but Beka will understand.
no subject
So the text is a welcome relief.
Yeah, it was.
And then, because he doesn't know if Yuri's alone or not, so he has to be at least somewhat vague.
Looking forward to switching spots, next time.
Not that anyone who could see the mess of Yuri's neck wouldn't know what they were talking about, but they could at least pretend.
