Yuri Briar's Darling

because he needs more love

[propertyofyuribriar]

My first commissioned artwork ever!! I'M IN LOVE WITH IT AHHHH!

Feel free to steal and put it ALL over the interwebs.

Drawn by the magical artist, Yashi, who drew that picture of Yuri in his uniform smoking that is just chef's kiss 😘 She does NSFW too, so my next commission will be -ahem- scandalous to say the least.

Link to her profile and more glorious pictures of the process below the cut!

I'll draw what I want

When I ran across what is so far the hottest Yuri art I've seen, I knew I wanted more. STAT. So when I saw she was open for commissions I HAD to get more Yuri.

After explaining that I wanted my pretty boy undressing himself, these were the three rough drafts I was given 😍

Wet

Sweat

And dry

I went for dry because, you know, the fun hasn't started yet in my mind. So I asked for blushy cheeks instead, and to switch from his uniform to his suit - ie blue tie and blank pants.

omnomnomnomnom still in love with this rough version.

The next was the last progress update where I could ask for any final revisions. It's missing some layers she had already completed, but you can see the lighting in his hair has been improved, hands modified, hairstyle adjusted a little, etc.

If you're interested, please go like her works or order something for yourself!!

and the final is the one at the top ^^

I'm SO happy with how this turned out because I just LOVE her style.

Steel grates on steel, grinding your train to a gentle halt as you roll into Stockholm Central Station. You stand impatiently by the door for the attendant to open the car, jumping down to the platform before the outer attendant can even lower the stairs. 

There she waits, observing each door slide open, furrowed gaze darting along each car until it lands on you. Though your heart urges you to race into her arms, your body does not comply. Legs like piers in the water, you remain unmoving as the tide of passengers moves off the train.

A few minutes later, you're knocking on another apartment. When no one answers after several raps to the wood, you pound the door a bit harder and call out.

“Nee-san? Nee-san, are you up?”

The lock clicks and the smile you unconsciously wore at the mere thought of seeing your sister disappears instantaneously.

“Ugh. Lottie. Why are you answering the door? Where's my sister?”

“Uhh… because it's 6:30 in the morning and it's my house,” Loid growls. Shoving past him, you vaguely here something to the effect of, “But by all means, walk right in…”

“Yuri,” Yor yawns as she appears from a room in her adorable pajamas. “Why are you here so early? Didn't you go home?”

You can't resist pulling her into a hug. “Nee-san♡ Yes, but I came back to get something,” you lie quickly knowing it would take far to long to explain the truth. “Do you still have mom's wedding band?”

“Mm?” she blinks the sleep from her eyes. “Of course. It was the only thing we got back before their burial…”

“Could I… have it…?” you ask, gaze flitting everywhere but her while your hands slip from her waist to fidget nervously.

Yor can be rather forgetful, and she isn't the best at social perception, but she promised you that ring with a specific purpose in mind.

Eyes alight and glittering with excitement, she tugs a fine chain from under her night shirt and undoes the clasp behind her neck. From the thread she slips a piece of jewellery - simple, elegant, undecorated - and smiles up at you.

With a kiss to her cheek and a whispered thank you, you leave.

"Then, maybe we would have been happily married…” she slurs the last sentence through a wail.

Her confession is anything but what you want in this moment. You long for her to hate you, to rightfully despise you, to beat you with a cast-iron skillet - anything but regret what she did.

Yet you know that what you want would provide atonement only for you but would leave her just as hurt if not more than now. You've done plenty enough of that already. What you want doesn't matter anymore. It never did. You were just too cowardly to ever ask.

Nails carving crescents into the skin of your palms, you force yourself to speak. “Do you… regret that night… even now, Senpai?”

Through hiccups you hear her wheeze, “More than - more than - anything…”

Watching her shoulders shake with despair, you dare to finally ask what you've been to scared to ask her for years. “Does that mean you… still want… what I promised? Do you still… want… me?”

“But you forgot… You forgot completely…. You even asked why I was acting so strange around you when I was just flustered, hoping you would kiss me again or ask me out… but you never did…”

“We… kissed…?”

“We did… and we kissed again in Slovenia, but with everything that happened…” she trails off.

“I never did understand why you were so mad at me after that trip… but I’m guessing I asked you again?”

“You did, and maybe it would’ve been just another drunk moment if you hadn’t said what you did… but when you took me to Bled, I really thought you remembered… That this time you were serious…”

“What did I say that night?”

You know instantly that you shouldn't have asked from the anguish that paints her pretty features.

“Though it wasn't really a proposal, it was the most honest expression of your feelings to that point. It felt like a proposal in it's own way because every question sought and answer… an answer only I could give…” she murmurs gently.

That wasn't a letter… That was a page from the daily journal you kept… There were a few times you scrawled out your mess of emotions in an attempt to find some clarity, but never with the intention of anyone, let alone her, reading them.

“Senpai, I don't understand… Surely, you must have hated me after all that… Why didn't you have me transferred to another department or something?”

“I wanted to hate you for leading me on, but I couldn't. Every time I heard your voice or saw you smile, I only loved you more. How could I let you go when you were so precious to me?”

“Then, you could have at least told me I was being such a jerk!!”

“I guess should've called you out for it, but I honestly thought you weren't ready for a relationship if you couldn't express yourself without drinking. I didn't want to force you into something… or push you away by cornering you…”

Force what? Push me away? Wait… Did she just say she loved me?!?!!!!

Choking on your own tongue, you barely manage to ask, “Senpai, you… liked me?”

“You're asking me that sincerely, aren't you?” Her shoulders curve forward as she pulls her legs up on the chair and into her chest. “Of course, I liked you, Yuri… If I didn't, I wouldn't have put up with six proposals. Though I guess the one earlier tonight makes that seven.”

“There were… more… after the letter?”

“Mhm,” she hums gently, eyes downcast as she rests her chin on her knees.

“But… I still think you hate me…” the words tumble from your mouth before you can even process what you’re saying.

“What are you talking about!!??! I’m madly in love with you!!!”

“I don’t believe you. You haven’t had any interest in me since Christmas,” you pout like a child.

Releasing your hands, he drops to the ground and fumbles through his briefcase. Woozy and disoriented, you don’t see him pull something from the little black book he withdrew.

“Here.”

You squint and squint and turn the page around. “I can’t read it…”

Running his hands through his hair, he sighs, “Right… You’re drunk.”

“So are you!” you retort, but he just nods in agreement before reaching for the paper.

Turning away from him, you squeak, “No, it’s mine now!” and shove it in your purse.

When you face him again, you both stare blankly at one another for a long moment.

“What were we talking about?” you ask first.

“Uh, I dunno anymore…”

Somehow every threat to the event’s success was diverted with his help. The backup vendors came through when needed, the most important guests were all persuaded to attend, and even the catering was impeccable.

You spent most of the evening coordinating the speakers, ensuring the mini events, prize draws, and so forth happened on schedule, and making rounds to greet the guests at the tables. By the time the dancing begins, you’re already tired - but work is work.

Thus, you take your turn with several of the men who work in your department, a few of the staff from various embassies, and about five too many creepy old men for your liking before stealthily sneaking off to the grand balcony.

“Yuri, there you are. I haven’t seen you all night,” you call, finding him hiding in a dark corner at the edge of the balustrade.

“Senpai!” he sounds surprised and suspiciously like he didn’t want to be found.

“Is this where you’ve been hiding? I thought my trusty assistant would be by my side most of the night…” you tease and tilt your head playfully.

In the dark, you just make out his crimson eyes glancing your way briefly, looking you up and down for a split second before turning his head the other way. You can’t see the red staining his cheeks - a mix of strong emotions and stronger alcohol.

“I figured you would be treated better without a man tailing you. You know how some of them are - talking right over any woman if there’s another guy nearby…”

“Oh, is that the reason? I thought maybe you were tired of my endless demands for help.” You can’t help but giggle at the way he jumps up from the wall and splutters that that has nothing to do with it at all and he’s always happy to help and he would never leave you alone to do all the work.

“I’m teasing you, Yuri. I know you’re always there when I need you!”

He looks like he might pass out from relief as he crumples against the wall once more and gazes up at the night sky.

“I was anticipating that you’d at least ask me for a dance though,” you pout a little.

“Senpai! These documents are for you! They're very important - but that's just a lie I made up to get in here - Please, marry me!!!”

You cannot believe your ears. There is no way you just heard what you think you heard. No one in their right mind would say something like that at work, in public, in the middle of a high stakes meeting… Right?!

“Mr. Briar, I'm in a meeting with the ambassador!! Please leave,” you answer him as calmly as you can manage.

“Not until you give me your answer!” he practically shouts.

“The answer is no!! Now get out!!” You are appalled.

“Why not!!” He’s actually shouting now.

“Oh. My. God. I'm going to kill you, Yuri,” you mutter under your breath. “Sir, I'm so sorry for the intrusion. Please, excuse me.”

As you walk across the room to the idiot threatening your career, you just barely hear the ambassador mumble, “This is why we shouldn't have women in the office…”

Before you can even process what he said or how demeaning it is, Yuri is already one step away from the man, fist clenched and hand about to grab him by the collar. “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO HER, YOU YANKEE TRAITOR?!”

Tugging you by the jaw to look up into her eyes, you see nothing but sadness. “Yuri… What am I going to do with you?” She sighs heavily and begins cleansing the cuts. While she bandages you up, you think back to the last time you saw her.

“Won’t your husband be upset when he comes home and sees you have another man in the house?”

“Uhh... What husband? What are you talking about, Yuri?” she queries, fingers pausing as she meets your gaze.

“He didn't marry you?!” You can’t tell if you’re more angry that anyone would be dumb enough to let her go or more relieved that she isn’t with him anymore.

“Oh, him?” She returns to dabbing at the largest wound. “Nah, he wasn't right for me in the end.”

Your heart races as you dare to ask, “So, you left him?”

“Well, he left me, but anyway…” She doesn’t get to finish her sentence before you knock over the dining chair as you jump up.

“HE DID WHAT??!?!?!?!?!”

Waving her hands, she panics, “Yuri, sit down!! You're still bleeding!!!”

“Just know that you'll rue the day!!” you shout your last warning and dash down the corridor.

What am I going to do? Yor has a husband who can protect her from meteors and nuclear bombs!! She doesn't need me anymore!!! I'm useless again!!!!

You run and run, around the corner, down the stairs, and along the next hall.

Denying the tears threatening to stain your cheeks, you wipe your sleeve across your eyes as you run onward.

You run until you hit another wall in your drunken stupor and collapse to the floor.

But walls don't speak.

Or at least, they shouldn't.

And floors aren't supposed to be this soft either.
