[ Relax? Relax?! Is he supposed to be able to relax when Viktor is so close to him, his hands moving into dangerous territories? How could anyone relax in this situation?

Yuuri swallowed hard and nervously held his arms close to himself. At least it was a step up. He didn't try to squirm away, or run off at the speed of lightning.]

And... you think sleeping together would be a step in the right direction...?

[ He could hardly look Viktor in the eyes without his heart racing. ]

<sub>[ Being close to somebody you trust— it's comforting, isn't it? It's a way to ignore all of the stress in the world. That's his thought on the matter, actually.
His hand had paused there, probably a bit clumsily as he was speaking, because he's more interested in another part of Yuuri's body. He hadn't meant to stop at such an awkward place.

... no, not there. As imposing as he can be, he wouldn't without consent, and preferably not in a location like this.
His hand shifts under the other male's calf and... he lifts up his leg out of the water, gazing at all of the cuts and bruises along Yuuri's foot and ankle. ]</sub>

Your work shows on your body.
There should be a time to treat your body.
_{[ Or else... you might have your hair grow thin like this. ]}

See, I can see the patterns along your skin. There is your toe loop, your Lutz, your Axel—
_{[ He trails off, regarding them fondly before lowering Yuuri's calf back into the water. ]}

Did you know that being close to somebody you care about reduces your blood pressure, stress, and anxiety?
_{[ He's got a feeling you know that.. because you seem to enjoy hugs before your performances. He just wants you to say it. ]}

[ Yuuri let out a startled noise at first when he felt Viktor lift his leg up out of the water. His own hands grab onto Viktor's shoulders to keep his balance. Wow... he really noticed a lot about him, didn't he?

He stood there listening to Viktor, listening to his every word, and... he was right. Or at least, Yuuri felt he was. Now that he had been spending more time with Viktor, getting closer to him, he's been a little more open.

His anxieties melted away when Viktor held him close. He could take any criticism from him and not want to hide away. At least not anymore anyway. ]

Yeah... I think I know what you mean...

[ There was a small smile forming on his face, finally lifting his head to make eye contact with Viktor. ]
Lately it seems like... the only way I can feel fully prepared out on the ice is when I feel the warmth of your arms around me.

<sub>[ he notices far too much about you and if you knew every little observation he took, it just might freak you out.

He pauses at his pupil's words.
That meant he was letting go of his insecurity, which is precisely what Viktor wanted.

In a soothing tone, he speaks: ]</sub>

That's very good, Yuuri.
That should be what skating is all about.
_{[ a bit of an odd and vague response, but he doesn't bother to elaborate. ]}

[pigureskating]

The warmth of your arms?!

[goldblades]

_{[ lmao so cute. ]}

Something like that.
_{[ looks like he isn't ready to tell.
but maybe he just quietly appreciates Yuuri wants to think it's all about him. ]}
