Prompt 23 - OTAYURI. They don’t deserve you.
I took a liberty with Yuri’s back story. I hope you like it ^-^
Yuri was uncharacteristically quiet during their routine Skype call.
He didn’t use a single curse word. He didn’t bug him with how Mila was eating his brain over her weight gain or how Georgi was having a panic attack after seeing Anya’s instagram post with her new boyfriend. He didn’t complain how Viktor was using him as a pigeon to pass his crappy love notes to Katsuki right under Yakov’s nose.
And to top all that, he’d forgotten to feed Potya that morning.
“What’s bothering you, Yura?”
Yuri snapped his eyes up at Otabek through his laptop screen, watching him hard for a minute.
Otabek was expecting a denial with full on bravado or at least a casual shrug. He didn’t expect Yuri to lower his eyes and pretend to clean the non existent dust off his keyboard with his fingertip.
Yuri took a minute or two, before meeting Otabek’s gaze again. It felt cold.
“My parents are getting a divorce tomorrow,” he muttered, his voice lower than a whisper.
Otabek was at a loss for words. “I'm… I’m so sorry-”
“Nah. Don’t be,” Yuri had recovered enough to casually shrug.
There was a moment of silence, before Yuri continued. “I thought after Dad’s promotion, things were going… better. I thought… I thought we would have a chance to be together again. Like y’know? Family. God-” He rubbed his face with a quick drag of his hand. “It was so silly of me. I… I feel like an idiot, seriously!” he huffed.
“They don’t deserve you, Yura.”
Otabek knew it was harsh. But he’d never seen Yuri so lost and broken, not even when he’d lost his gold to Katsuki. Otabek couldn’t watch him like this.
And when Otabek flew to St. Petersburg the very next day, Yuri was so shook up that he wrapped him in a hug like an Octopus and cried his heart out for a full ten minutes right in the middle of the doorway.
