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.

Yuri puts his hand over Otabek's. Flattening his palm against the bruise. Even with light touch there's a twinge. It's going to ache tomorrow. Every move reminding Yuri where it came from. How it got there.

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.
ragefairy: (Smile)

Otabek is going to find he can get away with a lot of coddling as long as he provides proper distraction. Like those kisses. Yuri sways into him, because legs are Dumb and Beka can damn well take the weight anyway.

"Beka, come on, I'm tired of being sticky," he mumbles. Making no actual effort to pull away.

Yuri gives a half-assed growl back because the water feels amazing. Immediately sapping away any annoyance. He tips his head back into it. Closing his eyes and letting the heat work its magic on exhausted muscles. (Later, it will sink in how good he looks soaking wet, and that Otabek's not the only one who can tease. A fact which will be ruthlessly exploited.)

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?
ragefairy: (Agape)

Time skip to airport?

[personal profile] ragefairy 2017-06-13 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yuri's making a very strong case to maybe never leave. Just about purring from all the touch, sinking more and more into Otabek. Stroking idly at his dick. Yuri feels... unwound. In a way he has never been with anyone else.

He likes it.

Eventually they should probably get out. Deal with towels, hair, actually set about getting sleep.

They do have flights tomorrow...

It's a hurricane of swearing, packing, and searching for phones. Yuri ends up in one of Beka's shirts. Which is going to be obvious even without the hickeys dotting his neck. There just isn't time to worry about it.

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.
ragefairy: (Hey boi heyyyyy)

[personal profile] ragefairy 2017-06-18 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
(Yes. Pretend. Like pretend Katsudon is insisting on a scarf because it's cold and for No Other Reason. Yuri finally takes it so he'll shut UP.)

sounds good

It really, really does. Even though Yuri's already shifting in the cab seat. Having some trouble finding a comfortable way to sit. He hasn't been so aware of his glutes since he began triples.

if i cant sleep on this flight its your fault

just so you know


He's smiling though. Too caught up in the phone to notice the dark clouds seething overhead, the flurry of snow beginning to pelt the windshield. How Viktor and Yuuri's voices have turned worried.

STILL YOUR FAULT

Oh the emoji game is on. See how Otabek handles getting sent every cat face Yuri can find. Even the puma. It keeps him amused through the line as he automatically produces his passport, kicks off his shoes for the belt. Before he knows it he's through - and facing a departure board full of huge, glaring "DELAYED" notices. A wall of white pressing against the terminal windows.

He snarls, words automatically going through his fingers.

oh FUCK ME

Clearly he does not mean this in the fun way.

no kidding oh shit

At first, the hope is that it will pass quickly. This is Chicago, after all, and they should be able to handle this fuckery. Until the ice starts falling. Yuri glares as the departure times crawl up. As if each number has personally Wronged him. He nearly had a heart attack running from the hotel for this?!

we should just fucking SKATE home

That gets a snort of amusement. Then a long line of alternating laughing and disgusted smileys.

you can rescue me any time

just saying

UGH katsudon keeps trying to TALK to me

fuck knows why


Does he not realize Yuri's giant headphones mean GO AWAY. That includes concerned Not-Dads who have Definitely Noticed the hickeys. Cranking the music up does not help. Now Viktor's getting into it. Probably saying something about Yuri losing his hearing.

Good. Then he won't have to listen to this.

(Yakov has fallen asleep. If his troublemakers want to argue, fine. At least it means they aren't fighting with him.)

FUCK

YOU


Don't think Yuri isn't tempted but he really does not want to be arrested by TSA or some shit. It would just be one more headache. Instead he works on extracting himself from the fretting.

C26 im coming

youre buying me breakfast

Finally free of his babysitters, Yuri stomps off. Dodging strollers luggage, and especially groups of girls his age. Last thing he needs is the Yuri Angels swooping down. He's pretty sure he spots some snapping pictures, but he's too fast, the crowds too thick. Without the Russia jacket, they won't be sure.

screw the diet i want cinnamon rolls

Despite all the annoyance, Yuri can't help the quick smile when he feels the phone buzz. Even if it's just Beka being an ass. Beka's allowed. In a way no one else on the planet is. There is exactly one good thing about this storm - they get more time.

Though Yuri would really have rather spent it in bed. Eating other things, maybe...

The look on Yuri's face is already pretty good. It's been less then two hours but somehow Otabek still makes his stomach go funny. He splutters at the comment. Other couples may have run in for the hug, but they are in public. This is all still too new for Yuri to decide if he cares about that or not.

Instead he smirks. Rams a shoulder into Otabek's side instead, gently. Well, gently for Yuri.

"Cinnabon. Then breakfast."

A yawn follows his demands. And okay, Yuri can't pull off "Hot With Minimal ZZZs" but "Sleepy Kitten?" Absolutely.
