Took a wrong turn somewhere (or is it right?)

[yokunaru]

[When Yuuri wakes up, he's greeted with a pounding headache, the likes of which he's never had before. Opening his eyes gets him an eyeful of cheerful sunlight that sends him whimpering back under the covers. He tries again a few minutes later, just managing to swing his legs over the side of the bed, wincing the whole time.

He freezes when he finally gets a good look at the room. This is...not his hotel room.

The shock is enough to temporarily push back the discomfort and make him jump to his feet. What happened? Where am I? he wonders, when he comes up empty handed after a quick search of the room for his belongings. One hand running through his hair as his panic steadily rises, Yuuri finally starts toward the door, intent on finding answers.]

Comments

[wauuu]

Ahem-- "are you going to spank him? if he lets you, he's def your dream boy" then he put a laugh-cry emoji.

[yokunaru]

[Yuuri coughs, though that does nothing to hide the surprise that floods him. Well, he did ask.]

I don't...really know what I would really be okay with yet...?

[He looks a little uncertain, because this is definitely something he hasn't even considered before, but it's not a hard no, either. Yuuri figures they'd talk if...well, when they got to that point.]

[wauuu]

[it's honestly not as freaked out a reaction as he might have expected. It's cute, even. Victor chuckles a little to look at this phone. What to say to that?]

Well, is imaginary you okay with it? [since this is all just a joke they're weaving together to mess with Chris]

[yokunaru]

[He manages to recover with a quick, if still flustered nod.] Um, imaginary me is okay with it.

How long do you think it'll take for Chris to start catching on?

[wauuu]

"I asked him and he was outraged. Offended. So upset he bent me over a knee. I can't sit down today." Sent.

Who knows, he might believe all of it.

[yokunaru]

Pfft. [As flustered as he is, the soft huff of amusement still escapes him.]

That doesn't sound like me at all. I can't believe he hasn't caught on yet.

[wauuu]

I am too, actually. The sheer number of things I'm listing is getting ridiculous. [he laughs, there's a sound and it's not his phone. It's Yuuri's. Buzz-buzz-buzz]

Knew he'd call you!

[yokunaru]

[Yuuri stares at the phone he'd just extracted from his pocket. It's a bit of a relief to know that it still works, though the screen is slight cracked from his drunken adventures from the night before.

He glances up at Victor with a grin.] Should I still ignore him?

[Oops, he'd waited too long, the call goes to his voicemail. And then the screen promptly lights up with yet another call. Yuuri has to press a hand against his mouth to muffle his laugh.]

It's Chris again. Wow, he must be dying to know what's going on.

[nevercomefirst]

[--Pick up pick up pick up pickuppickuppickuppickup--]

[yokunaru]

[With one more alarmed, but amused look at Victor, Yuuri finally swipes his finger across the screen and accepts the call.]

Hi, Chris. I didn't expect to get a call from you.

[Trying to sound as innocent as possible over here, and not like he's been working with Victor to prank him the whole time.]

[nevercomefirst]

Victor is so full of shit!

[hello to you too, Yuuri.

Victor has put both hands over his mouth, trying not to laugh]

[yokunaru]

[Wow, straight to the point! Yuuri has to actually hold the phone away from him for a moment when a snort of laughter almost escapes him.]

Really? Why would say that?

[He isn't too sure how well his innocent tone holds up this time, but at least he got the words out without stuttering too obviously.]

[nevercomefirst]

I can believe you're a secret pervert, [VICTOR IS DOUBLING OVER] but there's no way you're so bold about it!

[a pause]

Not sober, at least. [Victor's on the ground, he's trying not to be heard laughing, he's really trying]

[yokunaru]

Hey! [He's a little indignant. Just a little.

That feeling, and watching Victor completely lose it, makes him incredibly rash.]

For someone who hasn't taken me home before, you sound really sure about that.

[Oh god, why. The delayed mortification kicks in, and Yuuri buries his face in his hands, even as he waits for Chris' reaction. It's too late to take it back now...]

[nevercomefirst]

[you managed to completely throw Chris off, congrats, Yuuri]

I would take you home in a second! I'd take you over Victor! [there's an indignant "Wow!" from Victor]

You're actually with him!?

[yokunaru]

[Chris isn't the only one thrown off here! Yuuri just blinks at the phone, wide eyed.]

Wait...what? You would?

[Now he does look at Victor, bewildered, and absolutely certain he'd just heard that wrong.]

[nevercomefirst]

Is that even a real question? I'd have snatched you up if you weren't hanging off Victor at the banquet!

[yokunaru]

[First Viktor, now Chris... it's a whole lot of attention that he's not used to, and Yuuri isn't even really sure how to handle this information.]

Ummm thank you? [He's thoroughly breaking character now, but Yuuri still clutches at the phone uncertainly and adds-] But, yes, we're together.

[Yuuri looks at Victor with arched brows, silently asking if they're still keeping up with the joke.]

[nevercomefirst]

Like together in the same room or like together? [his tone says "like a romantic thing" but also manages to sound really derisive]

[yokunaru]

...both? [The talk they'd had about exploring things together counts, right?

This talk has taken a turn that he wasn't expecting. Not to mention, Yuuri isn't sure what to make of Chris' tone either.] Is there something wrong with that?

[nevercomefirst]

That's not fair! That shouldn't be allowed. You're going to distract him. [Chris is utterly selfish]

How am I supposed to feel good about finally winning a Gold Medal against him, then? I'll know it was hollow! [Victor's just rolling his eyes.]

[yokunaru]

[A frown works its way onto his face as Chris talks. As a long-time Victor fan, Yuuri feels compelled to defend him.]

That's not true! Victor's good enough that he'll still win gold even with everything else going on.

[nevercomefirst]

Don't you want to beat him at Worlds? You're also his competition! [so is Chris, he just did waaaay better than Yuri at the Grand Prix]

[yokunaru]

[Yuuri winces, remembering just how badly he did in the final.]

I was nowhere near the podium this time, Chris. [He says quietly, simply. While, yes, he would've liked to have skated his programs better while sharing the ice with Victor, to imply that he could beat the now 5-time world champion in his current state is laughable to him.]

[nevercomefirst]

You've still got Nationals a head of you! Just don't choke. [easier said than done, Chris]

Whoa, whoa, you have distracted me. Are you really banging Victor? He sounds full of shit!
