prompt: “You fainted. Straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t had to go to such extremes.”
Yuri groans and scrunches his closed eyes shut even tighter. There is a dull pain throbbing behind his forehead that makes him feel dizzy even in the darkness that’s currently surrounding him.
Slowly he comes back to his senses. His mouth feels dry and his tongue is a little swollen, he would die for a glass of water right now.
Furthermore, he realises that he must be lying down but he has no idea where. It’s uncomfortable and hard, his tailbone screaming at him to move into another position.
But his head lays softly, pillowed into firm warmness and a heavenly scent. His hair is getting played with, gentle fingers sliding over his temple in featherlight touches until they move down to glide through strands of blond…
Wait. Someone is playing with his hair? Now he recognises that scent, of course he does. His heart jumps and he rips his eyes open. Otabek!
He’s laying on the hardwood-floor with his head in Otabek’s lap and the fist thing he sees are Otabek’s chocolate eyes looking down at him with a mixture of worry and …affection? No, can’t be.
Yuri swallows hard, mouth even dryer than before and now he feels dizzy for a different reason, his heart pounding harder than his head. He has no idea how he got into this dreamy situation and he should probably ask questions before things get awkward but Otabek won’t take his eyes off him. He’s so close that Yuri could count every single one of his unfairly long lashes if he would still possess the ability to think straight. But he can’t, Otabek’s scent, a mixture of spicy cologne, warm leather and sun-kissed skin, is too overwhelming up close to think straight. Ha!
Enchanted, Yuri licks over his lips and Otabek’s eyes follow the movement or did Yuri imagine that? A voice inside his head screams to stop looking at him like a lovesick lamb in case this isn’t a dream but Yuri enjoys the moment way too much to actually listen.
„Yuri?“ His dream-bubble bursts and if he’s honest, the hands in his hair and around his head had felt very real all along. His heartbeat picks up again.
„Hm?“ He doesn’t trust his voice with more words right now.
„How are you feeling?“ Otabek asks.
Desperately in love. But of course that’s not an option to say out loud, so he settles for, „Dizzy,“ because that’s the closest thing and also true. His head still hurst.
„You hit your head.“ Otabek explains while his eyes wander over Yuri’s face, probably looking for any sign of a bigger injury. Yuri feels his cheeks getting warmer.
And now he remembers, he’s in Almaty, visiting his best friend and apparently doing a good job at embarrassing the fuck out of himself. He groans again.
„What happened?“
„You fainted. Straight into my arms.“
Yuri’s cheeks get even redder. „Shut up, I didn’t!“ His voice sounds weak.
Otabek grins. „You did and I caught you before you could crack your skull open.“ There is a glint of worry in his eyes too.
Oh Beka, why didn’t you let me crack my head open? It would’ve saved me from this embarrassment! „Thanks.“ Yuri croaks out and wishes for the floor beneath him to open up and swallow him whole.
„You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t had to go to such extremes.“ And yes, Yuri definitely must’ve hit his head harder than he thought because there was no way that Otabek was actually flirting with him.
„Oh fuck you, Altin.“ A weak response but his head hurts, his heart leaps and he’s too flustered to be witty.
„You scarred me.“ Otabek’s voice gets quieter, more serious.
„I’m sorry.“ Yuri says without bite, raising his hand to rest against Otabek’s cheek. He only realises what he did once Otabek leans into the touch and another wave of warmth floods through his cheeks, right down into his chest and from there on through his entire body.
Oh fuck, he has it bad for his best friend.
„I will still drive you to the doctors though, you hit your head pretty hard and I wanna make sure that everything’s alright up there.“ He brushes his thumb against Yuri’s temple.
Yuri pouts, he hates doctors and he doesn’t want to get up. „I feel like there was a hidden insult somewhere in there.“
Otabek laughs.“You’re imagining things, remember, you just hit your head.“
Yuri’s frown deepens as he crosses his arms over his chest.“You’re an asshole, Altin. I’m going nowhere with you.“
„You don’t have to.“ Otabek says and before Yuri knows what’s happening, he lifted him up into his arms and carries him bridal-style through his apartment.
Yuri shrieks in surprise. „Let me down!“
„No way, with your talent you will mange to get dizzy again and fall down the stairs breaking your neck. I’m not gonna risk that.“
„Who’s imagining things now?“ Yuri grumbles but stops complaining then. Instead he wraps his arms around Otabek’s neck for security and leans against his chest, inhaling his heavenly scent while Otabek carries him. He hides his face against his shirt, pretending to sulk and smiles like a cheshire-cat.
