Title: When You Tower Over Your Boyfriend
Genre: mega fluff. seriously. if your teeth haven't rotted by the end of this, then you're lying
Pairing: Yuri Plisetsky x Fem!Reader
Notes: This is so cute, istg- I'm just imagining Yuri doing things to grab his girl's attention and there's so much room for comedy. I love it!
(I would also like to mention that this gave me a really well-needed break from homework because it’s kind of overwhelming and this was really sweet-)
Either way, this is probably gonna come out a little later than I would like it to. I apologize for that, but I hope you enjoy it either way! I tried to incorporate multiple points for comedy to come intact as well as a few in which it could be calmer.
Below the cut!
let’s cover the basics here:
1. he wouldn’t really care about how tall you are. like at all.
(at most, it’s an afterthought)
2. even if he did, he finds your height attractive.
3. that, and the fact that you avoid doing anything that many others have tried to do regarding his height.
(i imagine you being somewhere between 5′11″ and 6′5″)
(like seriously taller than him)
yurio knows that he is far from the tallest, he really does
and it doesn’t help being reminded of it by people that tower over him constantly
the short jokes get overwhelming sometimes, though
(half of the people that crack these jokes don’t make it out without being scared either way-)
so, while your height won’t matter too much to him, what others view it as might
in fact, i can see him freaking out about small things that he can’t reach
he wants to help you, but he wants to do so by being a little cliche
(mostly due to that being about all he knows about romance and dating, but i digress)
the roses and candies and fancy dates are typical, but then there’s the domestic stuff
and the romantic idea of reaching above your girlfriend and grabbing something that she’s too short to reach
or even laying your head on theirs
leaning down to give them a forehead kiss....
in this case, he starts cussing like a mad man since he can’t really do that
it is only slightly endearing
(you’ve had to keep him calm on multiple occassions)
it isn’t like these things don’t happen, but the roles are reversed.
you are the one grabbing the items
you are the one that lays your head on top of his
you are the one that has to lean down to give him a forehead kiss
to the people around you, it’s slightly comical
(and realistically, it appears that way)
but no matter, you see it as it is: he’s your boyfriend, and you wanna be sweet to him
in fact, your height has become quite the helpful thing on more than one occassion
so, it may be obvious, but you go to every single one of his competitions and most of his practices
(within reason, of course)
we saw how he gets when he practices.
we saw how he pushes, and pushes, and pushes, and keeps pushing until he can’t anymore.
and we also saw how much the people around him either continued to enable him overworking himself or ignored it (almost) completely
and there are the days where he needs a little ego boost
that’s where you come in
your height is very obvious in the crowds, even through the blinding lights and reflections of ice
you’re the one person that sits as close as you can and still manage to stand up and cheer the loudest for him
(we love a supportive partner!!!)
you’re also the one to help him when he is sent on errands
but the best thing to come from your height are the cuddles
especially after a long day of skating and working and existing
when he’s dead tired (and frankly unwilling to deal with people), he goes to you
whether you’re at his place or not, he goes to you.
even if you’re working, can you guess where he’s gonna go?
your height is probably one of the best things to him, especially during those moments
when you dote on him is when he straight up melts
(it’s even funnier in public)
one time that he was e c s t a t i c that you were there was right after he broke down on the ice during his free skate program
he goes through, does everything peachy, then falls
he gets back up, of course, and does the remainder of the program flawlessly
but then he breaks down on the ice
(we all know what i’m talking about)
(i know that’s a fact)
you want to run to the kiss and cry as soon as you can
you want to cradle him as soon as you can
but he’s stuck on the ice for a while after and you can’t catch him until he’s completely done, gold medal and all
running to reach him, you find him in his costume with the medal draped around his neck
the hug hit him immediately and you started to spew concerns left and right
“what happened out there?”
“are you okay?”
“did you get hurt?”
he was on the verge of tears for the third time that day
as per usual, your head was resting on top of his
and even though the public (and other skaters) were able to see everything, he hugged you back
tightly.
seriously.
(but so were you, so koala hugs were returned with koala hugs)
“i won the grand prix, (y/n), i won. i won gold.”
“i know, baby, i saw! i’m so proud of you!”
aaaand cue the tears
yep, the famous ice tiger of russia was seen essentially bawling into his partner’s chest
a few of the skaters found it endearing, and frankly, very cute
but others were so zeroed in on the fact that you were so. much. taller. than him.
“yurio!”
“who is that? dude, they’re gigantic!”
“are they together? cute.”
yuri was more focused on you and making sure that you were okay after he was done crying.
“is you shirt stained?”
“yeah, but that’s whatever. you won! you’re okay, though? really?”
the shorter blonde boy wiped the tear tracks away and smiled
an actual smile, too.
the paparazzi would not get enough of it if they were to have seen it
hell, the skaters did, too
(phichit was taking pictures and victor was crying at the sight of you two)
(it was on yuuri’s shoulder’s to reel them in)
(that was a whole other mess)
yuri only broke from the hug when you leaned down to kiss his head
he was blushing
and the people around you both gushed.
‘aww’ was the most common sound for a good minute or two
and then yuri was made aware of the people around him
“what are you staring at?!”
you were laughing
yuri looked like a tomato
(and it only got worse when you wrapped your arms around his torso and laid your chin on top of his head)
(but you knew that)
even redder, he shoos them all away
but yeah
he loves that things like that are possible
he really wouldn’t care if you were shorter than him or the same height, but the fact that he can rest his head against your chest is extremely comforting.
there are also some more...impulsive things your height can come in handy for
(read: piggyback rides and lifting him up to reach something when he is adamant that he can get it)
at your place, the cupboards were higher up for you (and your family) so when yuri would come over to help you when you would be sick, well...
let’s just say that stools would be used until you were a-okay and willing to hold him up to grab the one cup that he knows you love
or for movie nights!!!
the popcorn just so happens to be on the top shelf, and when he wants to hlep prep everything, you lift him onto your shoulders
(once the movie has been picked out, of course)
and again, when everything is prepped and ready
you haul him up onto his shoulders and encourage him to smack the top of doorways
he has a hold of the popcorn and grabs the doorframe each time
it was really refreshing to see him act his age and be a little immature sometimes
and this was a prime opportunity for it.
but overall, he wouldn’t mind it much (if at all)
he sees your height as a good thing, actually
even better seeing as you don’t view him as a ‘pipsqueak’ as some say about him
it works great for the both of you, really
even when you aren’t feeling too hot, the cuddling really helps
(he even sometimes acts as the big spoon when you need it)
and the fun stuff that comes from the height difference is all the more better!
