Yurio only realizes what he’s done when he notices how quiet everyone has gotten.
Everyone is staring at him.
Otabek takes a sip of his drink, and Yuri swears he sees the tiniest hint of smugness there.
“What!?” he snaps at the other skaters, face red hot. He glares at Viktor in particular, because he’s seated right across from Yuri and is wearing an infuriating knowing little smirk. At least Katsudon is polite enough to try and cover his smile with a drink.
“We’re just wondering what was so funny,” he says.
“Your bald spot,” Yuri snaps back, and the rest of the table snickers.
Viktor manages to not automatically touch his hair, but he looks annoyed enough to Yuri’s satisfaction, and the other Yuuri has to swoop in and reassure him. It also distracts everyone else enough that they move on and ease off Yuri.
Yuri directs his glare at Otabek, who indeed does look quite pleased with himself.
Then he just has to lean in and say, “you have a very cute laugh.”
And Yuri feels butterflies. Terrible, awful butterflies.
“Are you doing this on purpose?” he hisses.
At that, Otabek smirks. Which gives Yuri a whole new set of feelings altogether.
