Happy Birthday, Yuri.

On the Long Flight to Budapest

//Closed RP with @oap-rp//

They were on the way to Budapest.

Otabek was competing at the Budapest Trophy this weekend in Hungary. Yuri had no idea why his federation had decided to send him there as opposed to the Kazakhstan Classic this past weekend. Oh, well, there wasn’t much that could be done about it. He only wanted Otabek to win everything he damn well could since Yuri was out for the foreseeable future. (And there was nothing he could do about that, either.)

Yuri made his way through the plane to their seat, which was way too far back for his liking. At least one plus, he thought to himself, was that it was easy for people to get out of your way when you were 185 cm tall in Japan. It wasn’t uncommon, but it wasn’t that common, either. Yuri put his bags up in the nearest bin, shoving them in there a bit before sitting down in his seat. God, in the middle, too? Why?!

At least he was sitting with Otabek. Not sitting with his husband was NOT an option. He waited for Otabek to sit down before looking at it. “Seriously? Economy?” He knew he was whining a bit, but come on! “You know I have long legs. Why are we here?”

The flight from Saga to Haneda was short, not even 2 hours. The flight from Haneda to Frankfurt, though, was over 14 hours before the short hop from Frankfurt to Budapest. It would suck if they were stuck in economy for that flight. He’d survive, of course, just cramped for the entire flight. Ugh. Please let this be some joke.

How are you feeling about Worlds?! Second must not feel great.

While second is not first, it is still recognition among the best. There is no person there I would not welcome to see upon the podium. Their dedication and hard work shows a passion and fortitude I am humbled to stand in company of.

How are you feeling about Yuri being allowed back to competition even if just for the Olympics?

His list of carefully curated subtle insults has grown impressively since the announcements. It is good to see the brightness of his smile and the fire in his eyes.

It survived another trip.

At this point, I think I should name it.
