The gold glimmer of Viktor’s ring caught his eye. And for a moment Yuuri couldn’t seem to look anywhere else. This was real. This was real life. He had to remind himself of that.
But he didn’t stay too long, going quickly through the buffet, making sure to pick foods that wouldn’t bother him later in the day.
Instead of sitting across from Viktor, he sat next to him, maybe even scooting his chair closer as he did so.
“Good morning.”
Victor’s smile remained, eyes following
Yuuri as he went to get his food.
He leaned back in his chair with a sigh
and looked down at his phone again.

Feeling Yuuri sit down beside him,
he lifted his head and offered the
same relaxed smile.
❝ Good morning, ❞
he murmured, taking a bite
of his apple.
❝ Do you feel rested? ❞
