For Agalio

Continued from Here
Continued from Here--> Otabek

For a little while after coming home to Russia Yuri was able to celebrate having won gold. He let himself get lost in the excitement, spending quite a bit of time with his grandfather and the few friends he had from the rink before the excitement died down. Then it was time to get back to work.

And back to work meant time to think.

Think about things Otabek said in text messages. Think about things that happened in hotel rooms that shouldn't have happened but Yuri was stubborn. Because when JJ put out a challenge he couldn't seem to bring himself to back down because it was JJ.

Was that something you were supposed to tell other people about if you were going to date them? Otabek had been so ... polite. And Yuri had turned him down because he didn't know. He didn't know if he was supposed to say anything or if it was what he wanted at all or even if he was good enough to be doing that.

Dating. After a hotel room blow job out of spite. Y e a h . . .

He was in his home rink, stretching before taking to the ice. He wasn't sure if and when Otabek would be arriving, like he'd implied he would. It'd be nice to have an actual friend around... He stretches his arms above his head, tiling his head back a moment before laying forward. Splits were easy at least. He could focus on the dull pull of muscles he'd neglected a little instead of how stupid he was.

Otabek very pointedly turned his head away, holding out his hand towards Yuri to accept the cookie. "Sorry," he says. He hadn't fully realized he was doing it, and he was embarrassed that he was staring.

It was rude. Incredibly rude to stare.

He didn't really know if what he had done was the right thing. Sure, Yuri had reciprocated the action, but that didn't mean anything, did it? Ever forward, he says it, too.

"You returned the kiss."

Probably making everything just a little more awkward.

"I hoped you would," Otabek said. He finally felt able to look back at Yuri without feeling awkward. Everything felt a bit weird now. Had his doing that messed up something? But Yuri said he liked it... so it couldn't have been completely wrong.

"I just didn't know that you would. I'm -- " he's grasping for words, but decides to keep it simple for now, "glad." Really, that was all there was to it.

Otabek had remained delightfully uninvolved with others when it came to most things, so this was new territory. He approached it like he did everything else, though.
