One of my favorite bits of fanon is Katsuki Yuuri: Not A Morning Person, and it’s a very important concept because all Yuuris are best Yuuris, but a sleepy Yuuri is a particularly powerful Yuuri
but I feel like we don’t see nearly enough of it’s inverse: Not A Night-Owl Victor. So I submit for your consideration the following:
Victor, who has kept to a rigid schedule every day of his life for the past eighteen to twenty years, whose biological clock might as well be Swiss-made because his circadian rhythm is trained to an almost unnatural regularity
which means that he can’t stay asleep past six thirty in the morning, but he also has the damnedest time staying awake past ten pm
(and even that’s pushing it)
during the summer of mutual pining, Victor agrees to watch a movie with Yuuri one evening, and he tries to stay awake, really he does, but he ends up dozing off on Yuuri’s shoulder and Yuuri sits there all night bc he doesn’t have the heart to wake him
Yuuri is at his most powerful at about eleven pm, and on at least one occasion that summer he finally worked up the nerve to confess his feelings while they were hanging out doing their own thing, only to find out that Victor had fallen asleep before he could get the words out
Victor absolutely Cannot pull all nighters, they try to stay up until midnight on NYE every year, but Victor is inevitably napping on Yuuri’s lap by ten thirty
(Yuuri plays with his hair and gives him love-struck looks while wondering how he ever got so lucky)
also, late-night Sleepy Victor is the most hilarious Victor, his filter disappears and he basically becomes one long verbal shitpost
(Yuuri finds this deeply hilarious because Victor’s late night musings can range from wondering whether worms have feelings to babbling about how the reason he skated to so much Tchaikovsky before he started commissioning his own music wasn’t because he was a Russian composer but because Yuuuuuri I had to skate to music as far from heterosexual as possible, how else would anyone know how gay I am??? and honestly Yuuri is so charmed by nightblogging!Victor)
Sleepy Victor is the most cuddly Victor
