[ Viktor better not make it too obvious that he heard what Yuuri thought to himself and had not meant to share with him or otherwise that'd just be another mess that would need to be cleaned up.
Still, he'll let Viktkor open up the menu for the both of them and Yuuri gets a better view of what is being offered by the restaurant. Honestly, he would have protested it just a little but given how he didn't have much of an opinion on what there was to eat it all looked good. ]
I'd be fine with whatever you want. [ ...not that any sort of opinion would have stopped Viktor from ordering whatever he wanted to order. Except there was one difference here than there was back home. ] Just be mindful of the prices.
[ Their hosts sit prettily across from them and are still waiting for them to finish conversing among themselves before speaking. Yuuri was worried that they'd get upset given how they're being largely ignored but it doesn't seem to be that way. However, one of them does speak up once they heard Yuuri's concerns about money. ]
There's a cold-weather couple's special if you're interested in that~ It's a full four-course meal that comes with a bottle of one of our favorite wines.
[ Let's hope Viktor doesn't make a big deal about it. Then again, communication issues. He sometimes says all the wrong things and doesn't know when to stop. But he can get easily distracted. Who knows...
Of course he'd be mindful of the prices. He does understand how money works, even if he does have plenty of it back home. It's not like he tried to bully Yuuri into actually getting first class tickets back home and, in fact, joined him in coach where he could have easily upgraded himself.
But that suggestion is, in fact, very welcome. It does sound like it'd be suited for them. ]
I think that sounds charming! What do you think, Yuuri?
[ As long as Viktor doesn't lay on their bed naked and say something embarrassing, things should be fine. ]
That sounds fine.
[ Yuuri replies with a bit a nod and a muted smile. He didn't look too closely to the options, but he figured that it wouldn't be anything that he wouldn't like. Of course Yuuri had his favorites and dislikes, but he wasn't a picky eater.
And with their meal option decided, one of their hosts takes away the menus from both of them and goes off to put in their order and fetch the wine. The one that remains smiles at them with their entire being feeling that things were finally able to move forward into a more "normal" meal. ]
So, now that we're all settled in, why don't you start telling me about yourselves? You're both otherworlders, correct? [ Another glance at the rings on their fingers. ] A devoted couple from home or one that bloomed here?
[ Well, it is Viktor. One shouldn't put that potential out of his realm of doing. ]
We're together from home. [ Of course he noticed the glancing at the rings and spares his own look at them with a smile on his face. ] Yuuri gave this to me just before we were drawn to this world. I couldn't be happier.
[ And, in fact, there's that gentle coolness that rises in the air, akin time they exchanged the rings. It's not enough to chill anyone, but here is a soft crispness in the air from it. Of course, it helps that they were honest with things once they arrived here to help secure this happiness they have. Sure, there will probably be hiccups because it's them, but they'll make it through it all. ]
Unlike Viktor with his comfort and easiness regarding their relationship, Yuuri is still very quiet about it. He's not ashamed of their "relationship"—it had become one of the few things in his life that he treasured. Even though he had been willing to let go of it all for, what he perceived, to be the best for Viktor it wasn't a decision that he had made easily.
That aside, hearing Viktor talk about the ring and how happy he was made him flush. He doesn't miss the soft crisp air that emits from Viktor, but does miss the way he reciprocates the same kind of air. ]
Yuuri, is it? How cute. [ He'll give Yuuri a look, this time less predatory and more warmly. Regardless, he'll lean into Viktor's side almost shyly. ] Does that mean you two are married? That's how things work here.
Sorry Viktor despite of the touching feelings that he was emitting, Yuuri immediately sits straight and stiff like a board. He doesn't peel away from Viktor's side but he does bring his hands in front of himself. ]
N, no! It's nothing like that!
[ The second host comes back as Yuuri is trying to defend(?)...explain(?) himself. Granted his reaction makes both of the hosts confused. They were told that they were a couple and given the response from Viktor, he had thought so too. ]
[ His voice trails off and he's completely uncertain of how to answer. At this point, Yuuri's calmed down and shyly looking up at Viktor. This was the problem with unspoken things. Viktor certainly would be okay with it. From how he felt for Yuuri and with the rings and everything...
However, he just doesn't see how he can decide this on his own like this right now in front of these people. ]
[ Viktor most certainly doesn't want to live alone. Being naked on the bed is no reason for Yuuri to evict himself!
But in the case of Yuuri getting flustered and uncertain how to answer things, well, it's time for Viktor to step up in this case. It's true, though, that they're not wedding rings. He'd never thought of them as that without some type of formal thing. Besides, even if someone like Phichit would be excited for them either way, he knows if they did get married, Yuuri would want his best friend there.
His arm tightens around Yuuri and he leans his head to rest against him, looking bright and cheerful. ]
They're engagement rings, of course! We'll get married after Yuuri earns his gold back at home.
[ What a proud to-be-husband and coach. The fondness just oozes off of Viktor. ]
[ It completely is if it is done to try to seduce him.
And for as bright and cheerful as Viktor is, Yuuri's face both pales and flushes a deep red. Yuuri had looked to Viktor for some sort of answer as to what they were and he had been expecting was some sort of confirmation of perhaps if they were together or not. What he got was something completely different.
Yuuri wanted to know if they were a couple—obviously he knew Viktor cared for him deep enough that he wanted to be with him—but what he got instead was that he was suddenly engaged.
As Viktor's answer continues to sink him, Yuuri looks between their hosts, who look as if they're deciding between awing or being confused why they were here. Clearly they weren't that kind of couple. ]
W..we...are?
[ You realize this also puts a lot of pressure on him to get gold now, right? Viktor did you completely forget about Yuuri's anxieties? ]
[ It wouldn't necessarily be to seduce him! Viktor's just eccentric, okay...
Well, at least Yuuri knows how deeply attached Viktor is to him. Maybe not the time or the place. And sorry, host boys, they're a ridiculous couple with a very ridiculous half in the pair.
While it isn't a protest, it's certainly not Yuuri confirming his feelings for Viktor in a mutual sense. Sure, the rings were "good luck charms" but also Viktor was under the impression they could be so much more. A promise to be together until the end. Granted, their "end" points were a bit different when the rings were exchanged. ]
Aren't we? Or is it because we've only kissed the once?
[ VIKTOR CAN YOU NOT? Also, deep apologies to the pair that are probably extremely baffled on the other side of the table because of their awkward selves. ]
But to say the very least, the other two hosts are indeed extremely confused if not slightly amused by what was happening. Clearly there was a disconnect between the two of them. It was kind of a mystery how any couple get this far into any kind of relationship without discussing things further, one would think. They don't say anything, however, they do help themselves to cocktails that a waitress brings by.
Who cares about needing to do their jobs as a host; they were about to get a show. It would be quite the show as well as Yuuri turns an immediate beet red as soon as Viktor mentions their kiss. Sure it was displayed on public television, but that was at home and not here. Also he was caught up in the moment. ]
V, Viktor—!
[ His eyes dart from Viktor to their hosts who are leaning against one another and both urging Yuuri and Viktor to go on. ]
Is... Is this really the time for something like this?
It's good to give the hosts a break, for once. They can have a nice little show and enjoy a good meal. Not a bad night, right? Especially when the two sitting in front of them are attractive and adorable as hell.
Modesty isn't exactly Viktor's strong point. Sure, he's pulled Yuuri to private places, but that's only been when it's been to attempt to relax Yuuri. Otherwise, Viktor doesn't really think about certain topics being off limits. He's just not reserved like Yuuri is. Crazy Russian. ]
Why not? Our hosts don't seem to mind. [ So what's wrong??? ] Yuuri... You're the one that declared "愛" to be your theme on television. Why is this such a bad topic?
[ SO HOW COULD HE BE EMBARRASSED NOW? And all their PDA. Sure, it was show-related or being so emotionally charged from what had happened on the ice, but... Viktor sucks at time and place things. ]
Actually really do think of Yuuri's heart. The hosts don't really follow what "television" is but they figure that it's something public related given the context. They wished they could understand follow better especially when Viktor mentions a word they don't recognize at all. Something that Yuuri will be grateful for since as soon as Viktor mentions it—his face burns harder.
He was really going to make them do this right now, wasn't he? ]
Because Viktor— [ Yuuri tries to find the words to explain himself. It should be obvious why not! This was a private matter and something important to discuss in private as well. Eventually he'll look down away from everyone else and at the table. ]
...do we really have to talk about this right now?
[ Maybe Yuuri should be a lot more forward about the fact that he'd rather not talk about this in front of them specifically because Viktor just tilts his head some at that question. Why should they put off talking about it to any later in the game? ]
Why shouldn't we?
[ Sorry, hosts, Viktor can sometimes be a bit dense about these things and even more sorry to Yuuri for having fallen for this hot mess of a man. ]
[ Just from this brief interaction thus far, the hosts are definitely enjoying themselves and what they're witnessing. Maybe other people might feel as if they'd be intruding on something private, however they certainly don't. It was as though they were watching a real-life drama unfold.
Something that Yuuri gets a whiff of and makes it harder for him to answer. Honestly, did Viktor not see how their hosts were (apparently) on their second drink and were munching away on their appetizers? A small plate of lightly battered and fried vegetables and meats that made Yuuri think of tempura. (WHEN HAD ALL OF THIS ARRIVED?!) ]
Later.
[ He removes himself from Viktor's side and looks down at the table. He also grabs what he assumes is shrimp tempura and holds it to his lips. ]
[ Ouch. That was a blatant rejection when Yuuri peels away from him. If this made him that uncomfortable, Yuuri should have said something from the start. How was he supposed to know? (Read the atmosphere, Viktor.)
But it's amazing what results come when things are properly asked, or told. ]
Later, then. [ There isn't a sulkiness in his voice at that point. Since he's showing Yuuri that he isn't upset to be told to wait on this factor. Maybe if they were somewhere else or if it seemed like Yuuri wouldn't continue the topic, he'd press harder.
Sorry, hosts, show's over and Viktor can't help but let out a sigh at this point. The air felt a lot more tense and a lot less fun than when he initially dragged Yuuri in here. ]
[ The more mild looking host chimes in hopes to break some of the awkwardness that had settled around the table. Yuuri doesn't say anything and instead just keeps nibbling at the shrimp. It tastes good and is seasoned surprisingly well.
Yuuri's silence gets the mild host to chuckle a bit awkwardly and look to his companion who instead just gestures for the food to come and be placed at the table. Apparently the rest of the dishes were to be eaten family style—with the exception of dessert which hadn't been brought out yet.
It all looks great and Yuuri wastes no time silently helping himself to the food. Or, well, that's what Yuuri tries to do, but instead gets his hand politely batted away from the main dishes and instead has portions served to him to eat. Clearly there's some hesitation while handling the cutlery as one of the hosts seems to want to feed Yuuri instead of letting him feed himself. ]
[ Viktor does take note of the host trying to feed Yuuri, but it doesn't seem to bother Viktor all that much. If there were problems, Yuuri would politely decline or buffer the guy away with those advances. That is, if it became too much. Besides, he has no reason to be jealous here.
Instead, he is going to settle in to eating his own meal. While he's fine with being served his portion, he eases away the host that wants to feed him this delicious meal. He likes to be pampered, but not like this. Not unless it was Yuuri feeding him. ]
[ And politely decline, Yuuri did. If he didn't allow Viktor to feed him like this, then there was no way that he was going to allow someone he even knew less to do that. Besides, the connotation with him was more than something "fun" or "flirty". Only couples did that those sort of things with one another.
The hosts look between one another and then between Viktor and Yuuri once everyone was finally eating. They hadn't done anything really close to their jobs or what they were brought here to do, but at the same time, they weren't frustrated. They felt as if they were intruding were starting to wonder if they should just let them be.
...especially how Yuuri wasn't saying much of anything. ]
Would you two like some alone time? I know this isn't really what we should be doing but—
[ They'll look between Yuuri, who still has his head down but has stopped eating, and Viktor again. ]
Consider this our gift to you. We'll put the order on the house.
[ The intention here was to tease Yuuri a bit, but not to have things turn like this. It was a minor trainwreck that happened here. Ah, things needed to get fixed again.
He offers a bit of a warm, but apologetic smile to the hosts. They weren't pushy, which was nice. And to their offer: ]
We'll make sure to come back another time when things are properly sorted out and treat you to a proper meal.
[ It might be weird to say that, given the setting, but... It felt appropriate. Have a proper meal here without the tension with their pair of hosts and spoil them a little bit, without needing the actual hosting associated. ]
[ Whether the intentions were mostly harmless or not, it really did just go completely tits up. However, Yuuri is not unreasonable to deal with and he nods his head in agreement. While this was still in a public place, at least most people here would be wrapped up in something—anything—else that wasn't related to what was happening between them.
Yuuri was just about say something else, but the hosts cut him off by placing a finger onto his lips. Much in the same way that Viktor might (would) have. The similarities dusts his cheeks with some red. ]
Then we'll be off~! Enjoy your meals you two... [ They'll both rise from their seats in unison and give a polite bow before pushing their chairs nback in to leave. ] And we both hope you manage to work something out. You guys look to be a cute couple.
[ Yuuri looks up at that comment and there's an unreadable expression on his face. His shoulders do visibly relax after they hosts have left and Yuuri is officially no longer interested in the food before him. ]
[ After the two have left, Viktor lets out a puff of a sigh. With Yuuri's very poor reaction, he does wonder if he pushed it too far. For once, he does feel a little bit bad, but he doesn't regret it, either. He was being honest about the rings and what he felt.
So, even if there is a bit of distance between them, he's going to flop over and lean hard on Yuuri now that they're alone. He looks up at him, as well. How can anyone resist those pretty blues? ]
Yuuri... Should we take this food back with us and eat there?
[ Surely the hosts wouldn't mind them bagging it up and leaving together, right? ]
[ As Viktor drops his weight onto Yuuri, he does very little to resist against it and allows Viktor to hang on him as he pleases. Yes, he was uncomfortable with how the conversation was going earlier but that was because they had an audience. Now that they were alone, Yuuri could feel himself crawling out from where he was hiding.
Especially with how Viktor was looking at him with the prettiest eyes that he had ever and will ever see. ]
We can finish eating here. [ Yuuri says mildly. ] It'd be hard to go grocery shopping with leftovers.
[ Talking here would be easier too given how everyone was minding their own business. No one would pay them any mind as long as they didn't make a scene. With some hesitation, he picks up a spoon and scoops up some food off of Viktor's plate and shyly holds it up to Viktor to eat. ]
[ Oh. Even that small gesture makes Viktor realize that he's not as closed off and basically going to buffer him off. He had suggested going home first to have their talk so they could resolve things, but maybe Yuuri was amiable to continuing the conversation now?
Either way, he shifts just a little to take the spoonful of food that Yuuri is offering him, settling into a subtle smile afterward and giving Yuuri's shoulder a light nuzzle. ]
Is it okay to talk now? We could always communicate with the amulets, if that'd be better.
[ Though, really, he preferred the talking directly with Yuuri route, especially when they're right by each other, but for the sake of privacy, he'll give him that option, too. ]
[ Yuuri still doesn't really react when Viktor nuzzles his shoulder and instead looks away to poke around at the food in front of them with his spoon. Even though he didn't have to, Yuuri keeps his voice low and only loud enough for Viktor to hear. ]
I don't like the amulets. [ He confesses after a while of poking at the food and eventually helping himself to some of it. He doesn't even bother to switch utensils and uses the very same spoon that Viktor had used. They've kissed once already, hadn't they? And depends on how this conversation goes...
Well, sharing utensils wouldn't be the worse thing ever. Figuring that eating while talking might call for some awkward moments so he puts down the spoon and looks back at Viktor. ] If I want to talk to you, then I rather hear your voice in person.
no subject
Still, he'll let Viktkor open up the menu for the both of them and Yuuri gets a better view of what is being offered by the restaurant. Honestly, he would have protested it just a little but given how he didn't have much of an opinion on what there was to eat it all looked good. ]

But that suggestion is, in fact, very welcome. It does sound like it'd be suited for them. ]

So, even if there is a bit of distance between them, he's going to flop over and lean hard on Yuuri now that they're alone. He looks up at him, as well. How can anyone resist those pretty blues? ]
Yuuri... Should we take this food back with us and eat there?
[ Surely the hosts wouldn't mind them bagging it up and leaving together, right? ]

Especially with how Viktor was looking at him with the prettiest eyes that he had ever and will ever see. ]
We can finish eating here. [ Yuuri says mildly. ] It'd be hard to go grocery shopping with leftovers.
[ Talking here would be easier too given how everyone was minding their own business. No one would pay them any mind as long as they didn't make a scene. With some hesitation, he picks up a spoon and scoops up some food off of Viktor's plate and shyly holds it up to Viktor to eat. ]

Either way, he shifts just a little to take the spoonful of food that Yuuri is offering him, settling into a subtle smile afterward and giving Yuuri's shoulder a light nuzzle. ]
Is it okay to talk now? We could always communicate with the amulets, if that'd be better.
[ Though, really, he preferred the talking directly with Yuuri route, especially when they're right by each other, but for the sake of privacy, he'll give him that option, too. ]

I don't like the amulets. [ He confesses after a while of poking at the food and eventually helping himself to some of it. He doesn't even bother to switch utensils and uses the very same spoon that Viktor had used. They've kissed once already, hadn't they? And depends on how this conversation goes...
Well, sharing utensils wouldn't be the worse thing ever. Figuring that eating while talking might call for some awkward moments so he puts down the spoon and looks back at Viktor. ] If I want to talk to you, then I rather hear your voice in person.
