THE ICE IS A BATTLEFIELD.

HIATUS

[qaharman]

I almost thought I was locked out of this account and it freaked me out wow. This isn’t me coming back just yet but... THAT WAS SCARY.

[qaharman]

He pulled at him, not caring who saw or who walked in as his lips crushed against the other in a smoldering kiss him square right into his lips and giving Otabek no room to move, until he pulled back and looks at him, "Happy birthday." he whispers as he grins up at him, satisfaction clear in his expression.

Otabek had barely had the chance to open his mouth or even begin to utter a basic hello before he felt slender fingers digging into the leather of his jacket and pulling him forward and a set of soft lips pressed firmly upon his own.

He’d ask what it was for but HE ALREADY KNEW and his suspicions were made out to be correct the moment they’d parted and the blond uttered those two words the Kazakh had truly only wanted to hear from Yuri today. In comparison to his spitfire boyfriend everyone else seemed rather inconsequential and to know Yuri remembered was a gift in itself.

❝ Thank you, Yura. ❞ A simple response punctuated by another peck on the shorter boy’s lips as a smile stretched from ear to ear on a usually stoic face.

❝ You better not have gotten my anything crazy. I ALREADY TOLD YOU NOT TO. ❞

[qaharman]

"Yeah? I like making a grand entrance, thanks for noticing." he grinned at him awhile wrapping his arms around his neck, "Did you miss me?" because he sure did... but like hell is he going to say that out loud.

❝ Mmhmm. ❞ Otabek hummed in agreement, eyes rolling as his hands slipped around the shorter boy’s lower back to bring him in closer. Plus it was just a well known fact that this particular skater seemed to settle for NOTHING LESS THAN BEING DRAMATIC.

❝ Of course I missed you, there’s no question of it. ❞ And maybe there’d been that thought in his head to play coy and aloof the way he was sure the blonde would but HE JUST COULDN’T DO IT. While mostly reserved with his emotions and reactions, Otabek could not be so carefully contained around Yuri- one of the very few allowed to see a much softer side to the Hero of Kazakhstan.

❝ You may message me a hundred times every day but nothing beats actually getting to see you in person. ❞

[qaharman]

I feel so grateful that my life has been blessed by the presence of Otabek Altin.

It was hard to be his usual angry self around his friend, so Yuri just sighed, sticking his hands in his pockets. “It’s fine. It hasn’t been too long.” the boy stated. “Russia is hard to navigate to foreigners.”

He glanced around the bustling street, before looking at the older male. “So. Where do you want to go first? I promised I’d show you around.”

❝ I still feel bad I left you waiting. I should have left earlier, it was my fault entirely. ❞ The Kazakh heaved a sigh, but even with his exasperation at himself he was relieved that he was one of the VERY RARE FEW that could escape the small Russian’s ire. A gift in its own right.

❝ Well I’d still like to know what you think I should do. I’m not interested in being A TOURIST, I’m interested in what you think is worth my time. I’m here as your friend to spend time with you, not to see landmarks that are always less impressive in person anyway. ❞

      With his cheeks burning hot and Otabek quirky smile, Yuri couldn’t resist but to smile back at him, “Then it’s settled, let’s go on a date. Get away from these idiots, and spend time together. It’s only matter of time before you have to go back….” and Yuri plans to use every moment available to him to have Otabek to himself. Because he is greedy and slightly possessive. “I want to make sure the time we meet again at least we don’t have to smash our lips in desperation every time.” God, he refuses to fall like Viktor or Katsudon.

   As he wounds his arms around the other neck, pulling him in, “How about a cafe then head out to the mall for a bit? I am sure we can avoid media if we keep ourselves hidden enough.” unless Yuri temper gets the better of him.

❝ While I agree I’d like the kissing not to be so DESPERATE because it’s been a long time I don’t think anything is wrong with this meeting. ❞ Otabek responded with an honest smile. He was well aware his boyfriend- BOYFRIEND, what a word he did love applying to Yuri- was wary of being like Viktor and Yuuri but the Kazakh did not at all mind it. He wouldn’t necessarily state it out loud but in ways the elder couple were an admirable goal to reach for their future.

❝ Cafe and mall it is then. I don’t think we’ll have too much trouble with the media, I’ve always been pretty good at AVOIDING THEM and you’re dangerous enough that they don’t want to get close. With that I think we’ll be okay. ❞

      “Christopher cat and mine usually stay at times whenever he comes to visit. He is the only person I would allow near her…” because Yuri didn’t trust anyone else not to harm his cat. Even Viktor dog got warnings and death glares before the blonde male skater let him near his precious animal. “But don’t tell him I said that all else he might think I am giving him special privileges.” he rolled his eyes, honestly people think that because he is nice to one person they got to make a big deal out of it.

   “We just gotta make sure your new cat has a good temper and is good with other cats. I know for a fact Potya likes others.” she was a good cat, and this is the reason Yuri adored her so much. “Besides wouldn’t let you leave the adoption center with just any cat, you gotta get one that fits your personality.” here he comes, “Like see, you are usually quiet, so a cat who is lively might not be a good match, you probably would like something soft.” or whatever that is.

      “Maybe you can get a Persian? Or Japanese bobtail? I heard from Katsudon they are pretty calm cats.” leave it to Yuri to know EVERYTHING about cats.

Otabek hummed in response, raising his hand to rub at his chin in thought. He hadn’t even considered the cat would have a personality so that was something to think about. Though, Yuri was already spot on about his not wanting a rowdy animal, he did already have YURI PLISETSKY as a friend and that was all the rowdy he needed.

A quick glance was cast to the blonde, a small part of Otabek fearing Yuri could read his thoughts at that moment and may be offended but as he wasn’t getting any kind of scowl or kick to the shin he would assume ALL WAS SAFE and Yuri was not suddenly a mind reader. That would make things pretty tricky.

❝ Well I don’t know if a Russian shelter will have Japanese cats but we’ll just see when we get there. I’m not going in with anything in mind because I want to be open to the possibilities. There are many cats that need homes and I don’t want to be the person not giving each one a chance to catch my interest. ❞

@qaharman

“It’s about time you got here, Otabek. Why are you late?”

❝ I wasn’t trying to be late but it was harder to get here than I thought it would be. ❞ Meaning HE GOT LOST but like he was about to verbally admit that to Yuri Plisetsky. The boy was virtually a force of nature.

Even so, Otabek kept his expression neutral, eyeing the blonde. ❝ I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. ❞

[qaharman]

Yuri waste no time in grabbing his cheeks and pulling him into a smoldering heart pounding kiss. If there is anyone who is going to be taking HIS breath away, it will be Yuri Plisetsky.

If Yuri had been intending to TAKE HIS BREATH AWAY then consider the mission complete as Otabek was left stunned and catching his breath once they’d parted, hands idly hovering over Yuri’s hips before hesitantly settling there.

❝ Y-yuri! ❞ He gasped, gaze locked by the intensity of Yuri’s own, blue-green hues holding a certain FIERY FEROCITY one would come to expect from the young Russian and yet it still took Otabek by surprise any time he was caught in their hold. Though it’s not like that was every truly a problem even if he was left feeling like a bit of an idiot at his loss of words.

❝ You uhhh-… good to see you, too. ❞

hi I’m still dying over how much I love otayuri ;-;

      “So long as you understand that then I don’t see us having an issue.” Otabek please don’t forget you will be having two cats for the price of one now. A needy cat boyfriend and the adopted one! “I know you are busy, I am not upset over that.” he shrugs, heck he was busy a lot of times too, and with the skating season coming closer and closer by each marking day it was becoming harder and harder for the two to set up a time to talk.

   “I meant for every time you do have free, you better not use the excuse the cat is lonely or I am going to fly to Kazakh personally myself and kick you in the face. You should know you can always bring the cat over that’s not a problem at my grandpa or Lilia place.” considering his own cat was also part of this arrangement, it would be pretty stupid of them to deny him to bring his ONLY friend cat over when he visits. 

      “Or do I have to triple kick you so you notice you are welcome?”

❝ No kicking necessary I will give both you and this cat attention. I’ll pet the cat with one hand and text you with the other how does that sound? ❞ Because that was really the best he could do here and honestly it’s not like he really had much to distract him in his free time. He didn’t glue himself to screens like a lot of the other skaters did because he saw NO POINT in it and he didn’t watch much tv or anything like that either.

He lead a simple life and now that simple life would include a cat. If anything, maybe seeing the cat would remind him to message Yuri more often.

❝ I wonder if Potya and this can will be as close of friends as us. That would make it a lot easier to travel to see each other if the cats can keep each other company. ❞

   “Good you better come back.” was his only response to him, before grabbing a handful of his shirt and pulling him down a bit so that he could ultimately crash his lips against the other in a quick but heated lip-locked kiss. Who ever said Yuri was afraid of intimacy didn’t know him well, he just played hard to get so that his results came out the way HE wanted them to. Not other people desires…..

This also includes a little bit of Otabek himself.

   As he pulls back just in time to admire the other, seeing the swollen red lips thanks to his quick, biting his lower lips. “Otabek…” he whispered, “-We should go on a date.”

Though it took him by surprise the kiss was anything but unwanted, Otabek easily melting into the feeling of all the fire and intensity that was YURI PLISETSKY.

❝ A date? ❞ He questioned, huffing a quiet laugh as he’d let his head fall to rest gently against the blonde’s. ❝ If that’s what you want then that’s what we’ll do. Anywhere you want to go we’ll go, Yura. ❞

happy international cat day, puma tiger scorpion

[qaharman]

Wraps his arms around him from the front, and lean his forehead against his chest. "I think the world is against us because every time I think I might meet you somewhere, someone always manages to pull me or you away. I hate Katsudon for not telling me sooner you were coming all else I would have come to the airport to pick you up!"

❝ Well as much as I do like meeting you right at the airport as soon as I land it will never be the END OF THE WORLD to wait just a little longer to see each other. You’re busy- we both are- and it’s nobody’s fault that our lives our demanding. ❞ Otabek murmured into Yuri’s hair with an amused smile. He did miss Yuri greatly every time they were apart but it was always CUTE to see Yuri pout about even the slightest interruptions in the time they found together.

❝ Viktor and Katsuki may get on your last nerve some days but you know they just want what’s best for you and your career. I don’t disagree any time you’re pulled away for something to do with your routines… just when it’s UNNECESSARY. ❞

[qaharman]

      Wounds his arm around his neck, pulling him close. “I miss you asshole.” he was slightly annoyed that Otabek hasn’t replied to his message the day before, but he will excuse them provided the other made up for it. Plus Yuri knew he was on an eight-hour flight…

         “Took you long enough.”

❝ You’re so MEAN. ❞ Otabek teased, not an ounce of bite to his tone as he’d peppered Yuri’s cheeks with a few kisses. Yuri could do his best angry cat impression he wanted, but the Kazakh wasn’t going to fall for it- not that he really ever would have.

❝ I missed you too. No matter how long I’m away I’LL ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOU. ❞

[qaharman]

vepalsa.

   Yuri rolled his eyes, “Pft- please as if I am going to get jealous of another cat for your attention. You better be good at juggling between.” he threatens; as happy he is to see Otabek gain interest in having his own pet, a cat none the less! Yuri is also another cat; who requires and needs attention, affection, and care as any other. “You better not use your cat as an excuse to get out of our conversation or god help me I will…” he will what? What can he threaten the other with?

       “I will not kiss you anymore! Or be your friend,” he stated, there! That outta scare the older man to realize how important this is. “I can ice skate, talk to you and take care of my cat, then you can do the same!” doesn’t include the fact Otabek has extended family; unlike Yuri who really only has grandpa as relative listed.

❝ Consider your threat HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD and I will try my best not to let this cat distract me from messaging you. ❞ So maybe provoking the Russian’s ire wasn’t the best plan he’s had in a while but it was an easy fix at least. All he had to do was check his phone more often once he left. That wouldn’t kill him.

❝ It’s not like I try to ignore you, but I do lose track of time and I have a habit of forgetting to respond. At least for now I am still here WITH YOU and if you would be so kind I’d appreciate some tips on caring for cats if you have any from your experience with potya. ❞
