[There's a sharp burst of curiosity--Victor has tried to tell him about his past lovers before, hasn't he?--that Yuuri quickly suppresses. He's pretty sure they're getting deep into TMI territory now.]

Are you this open with everyone about your lovers?


Okay fine. It was when I was still living in Detroit. Maybe in my second year or so. Happy now?

[wauuu]

IT'S BEEN YEARS??

1/2

[yokunaru]

[Where is the option of having the ground swallow you up when you need it? Embarrassment at Victor's surprise makes him sharply defensive in a way that he normally isn't.]

You already know I've never had a lover, so my experience with these things is pretty non-existent. Besides, I got busy.

Can we drop this now?

[yokunaru]

[Just as quickly as his temper spiked, it's gone, leaving him feeling guilty again.]

Sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.

[wauuu]

Don't get mad!

I'm oddly impressed

[yokunaru]

Impressed?

About what and why???

[wauuu]

Being able to last that long! Your stamina is amazing

[yokunaru]

[Why...did that sound so dirty...]

Would stamina even be the right word in this context?

[wauuu]

[probably because they're already talking about masturbating and this is only going to spiral further]

I think so? I couldn't last a week

I don't think I could last *two days*

[yokunaru]

You mean, you've been

[No, wait, he doesn't actually want to ask that--but it's too late because he's just accidentally pressed the send button. Oops.

Panicking, he sends another text to follow up the first.]

Wait!! I don't actually want to know!

[wauuu]

[there's a pause in the texts before]

Your curiosity is precious.

[yokunaru]

You're just saying that.

[But his curiosity has already been lit and it's hard to ignore this time.

After a really long bout of silence as he mentally argues with himself, Yuuri agonizingly types out another message.]

Do you really think it will help with the routine?

[He regrets sending it already.]

[wauuu]

You've got some self discovery to do before you can embrace a routine like that.

[which is a nice way to say "yes, please go jerk off some"]

[yokunaru]

So that's a yes.

I'll consider it.

[It's not happening tonight, is his pained thought. The embarrassment would be too much, especially if Victor's expecting it to happen.]



(ooc: Moving it to action in my next tag, if that's okay with you?)

No need to ask, swap between whenever it works!

[wauuu]

[Victor isn't exactly ear to the wall, but he gives Yuri a look when he pops up at the Inn that evening.]

Hey, Yuri! Given my advice some thought? [yep, right into this conversation and they are in public]

ok! c:

[yokunaru]

[Yuuri freezes in place, looking very much like a deer caught in headlights. When he spies his mother looking over at them with curiosity, his face immediately reddens.]

Really? [His voice dips low, in an attempt to keep anyone else in the area from overhearing.] You're asking about it here?

[wauuu]

Huh? But it's almost lunch, if we eat earlier-- [oh earlier he had been giving advice on better timing meals with practice, but he realizes]

--Ah! Your mind is on the other thing!

[L A U G H]

[yokunaru]

[If his face was hot before, it's positively boiling now.]

I'm-- [He stammers, staring down at the floor, because it seems like the safest option at the moment.] I'm going to my room to change!

[And he turns on his heels and flees, half-wondering if Victor's going to follow him.]

[wauuu]

[Victor follows, laughing, in his usual breezy way asks]

Are you doing it now? Do you need help?

[yokunaru]

[For a split second, Yuuri looks like he might actually be considering it as he pauses in the hallway. If he's honest with himself, he's thought of Victor quite often. He's just joking, he tells himself firmly, He doesn't actually mean it.]

You don't have to tease me like that, Victor. [He says, frowning slightly.] I already know you have a lot of experience with...this.

[wauuu]

[Whoops, he wasn't actually expecting to get called out on the ditsy act. Usually he's so forward that Yuri just bumbles away and he's left having amused himself.] I mean, kind of? [as he said before, he has people who do this sort of thing for him]

[yokunaru]

"Kind of"...?

[The slight downturn of his lips lingers. Admittedly, he'd expected Victor to simply laugh it off, not this reaction.

He turns now, eyes searching Victor's for something that might clue him into the other man's thoughts.]

You followed me. Were you just doing that to tease me or is there...something that you want from me?

[wauuu]

I do quite like teasing you. [is this the start of some reciprocation? Victor puts on a more honest smile. He'll smoothly close the gap between them, his index finger trailing up the other man's neck to draw his gaze upward to meet Victor's]

But if you need my help, it would be very irresponsible of me to refuse you, Yuri.

[yokunaru]

[Immediately, his gaze slides to the side, bashful. Though he's gotten used to Victor's familiar touches during the months of training, the words hanging between them make this one feel different. The more selfish part of him wants to accept whatever Victor's offering, despite knowing this might make things more complicated.

Swallowing nervously, Yuuri forces himself to meet Victor's gaze again.]

...okay. [He breathes out, mustering up all the courage he has in him.] B-but only if you're sure.

[wauuu]

I'm very sure. A coach should be glad to have their advice embraced. [he's so damn smug and curious how Yuri will move this along... or if he will look to Victor for all the guidance.]
