I don't have a cute gif because I'm bad at cute gifs, but this is an OPEN POST for THE SKATING ANIME MAN (victor) (that one). feel free to comment with your own starter or pick one of the ones below!


a. i blatantly stole this from a meme

[Congratulations, you've been kidnapped!

How and why are mysteries I'll leave up to you, but your dastardly kidnappers have locked you in a surprisingly well-lit and well-furnished (though windowless) basement room, complete with comfy couch and ottoman and even a minifridge. Maybe they're nice kidnappers? Hopeful face? Or maybe this is just a sign that they expect you to be here for an awfully long time.

The door's double-locked, by the way, in case you were going to try it.

There's also someone else in here with you. He seems oddly unconcerned as he rifles through the minifridge for drinks, although he looks up at your approach.]

Ah, and here I thought I was special . . . .



b. thousand-watt smile

[There's a small disturbance at one corner of this crowded bar . . . if you push closer, you'll find that it seems to be centered on this one particular silver-haired man, who seems to be signing autographs and taking selfies with the other patrons. Who is he? Do you know him? The people clamoring for selfies sure do.

He spots you and flashes you a smile that is as clearly fake as it is brilliant.]

Ah, did you want an autograph too? Photo?



c. wildcard

[Have at! Some memes:

kinda stuck meme
random scenario meme
caught in the rain meme]

[Victor why the fuck are you so calm??? Richard is scrutinizing the door for any possible weaknesses.]

My apologies for deflating your impression. [He isn't panicking, but he isn't chilling, which is why he notes,] You're taking this situation very well.

Re: a

[brightlyshining]

[In response, Victor reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out . . . a cell phone????]

They forgot to take it off me . . . I don't think they're very good at this. [A pause.] The last people who tried this were much better at it.

[Victor please stop ranking your kidnappers??? He grabs a bottle of water out of the minifridge and straightens, although he's still holding it half-open.]

Ah, did you want anything?

[oathwalk]

I'm fine, thank you.

[It could be poisoned.]

Have you contacted the police already?

[brightlyshining]

[They're sealed bottles of water! But he shrugs and cracks his open, shutting the minifridge door.

At that, however, he blinks like that honestly hadn't occurred to him.]

Oh, the police . . . Yakov probably called the police. After he finished yelling at me for getting myself kidnapped, that is.

[yurionice]

No, but I came to see what was taking you so long.

[This is your mildly unimpressed Katsuki Yuuri, he takes his eyes off of Victor for two seconds and he gets cornered in a random bar.

Such is the life?]

[brightlyshining]

Ah! Yuuri!

[Unimpressed or not, he looks really genuinely happy to see you, Yuuri.

. . . he is blinking quickly in the next instant, as someone snaps a photo of him looking really genuinely happy to see Yuuri, but yes, such is life.]

Sorry. I lost track of time again, didn't I?

[yurionice]

By an hour, even.

[He's teasing him. It's always lighthearted when he teases Victor.

He puts a hand on his shoulder.]

We should probably go before you get surrounded again?

[brightlyshining]

Was it that long? . . . They were all very insistent . . . .

[And he hates to disappoint fans. Still, he extricates himself from the crowd and pitches his voice to carry.]

Sorry, we have to go now. Yuuri needs plenty of sleep to skate his best, you know.

[yurionice]

You don't know how to say no either, Victor!

[And at that comment, Yuuri is redder than a tomato. But it's better to jsut agree with him for now, isn't it? To help him get away from this crowd.]

Do you really want to head back?

[brightlyshining]

[Victor beams, seemingly oblivious to Yuuri's embarrassment.]

Mm, I wasn't doing anything important. Besides, you really do need your sleep.

[yurionice]

[No surprise there, Yuuri is used to that much.]

We haven't had dinner yet.

[brightlyshining]

[Smoothly, as though this is Brand New Information to him:]

Ah, then let's have dinner. Did you want to go out?

[yurionice]

If you can find somewhere a little more quiet, sure?

[Oh, Victor...]

[brightlyshining]

[He appears to think seriously about this for several seconds.]

. . . maybe we should just go back to the hotel.

[yurionice]

We could order room service?

[That sounds super quiet!]

[brightlyshining]

[They are probably out of the bar by now. Victor turns to Yuuri and looks at him, really looks at him, for a moment. Yuuri would prefer something quiet, wouldn't he--? Softer:]

If that's what you want, Yuuri, then that's what we'll do.

[yurionice]

It means just you and I can have dinner.

[No threat of people, plenty of resting. It'll work out!]

[brightlyshining]

[He smiles: not the bright, media-trained smile he gives to cameras and fans, but something quieter, soft and fond.]

I'd like that.

[He always likes spending time with Yuuri, after all.]

How are you feeling about tomorrow?

[yurionice]

[He stretches as they walk.]

The same way I feel before every big competition?

[Which is to say nervous, probably. This is a stage that he'd rather not mess up on.]

[brightlyshining]

[He lets out a little 'haah' noise.]

I suppose that makes sense. [He's studying Yuuri again. He never really figured out what to do about this; his early attempts at dealing with Yuuri's nervousness don't bear reconsideration, but at the same time, Yuuri didn't seem to want his best attempt at being a Responsible Coach, either.

He wonders whether the answer will come to him, if he only watches Yuuri for long enough.]

Would talking help?

[yurionice]

[He guesses he can't fault Victor for being an inexperienced coach. He is always trying his best, and that is what matters to Yuuri right now.]

I could try? I'm not sure how it would help. I'm always nervous before big competitions.

[It's just strange to feel this way.]

[bowtiedbones]

Um! No thank you, sorry, I was looking for my friend?

[gestures, indicating someone maybe a few inches above her own height, and completely ignoring the exasperation of the people who were trying to get selfies]

Looks like me, but in a cute red top?

[brightlyshining]

Ah, did you get separated?

[This reminds him that he came here with Yuuri--but surely Yuuri is fine, right? He looks around him, as if seeing if he can spot the person she's talking about.]

I haven't seen her. What about the rest of you? [Addressed to the crowd surrounding him, which murmurs to itself, but the consensus seems to be 'no.']

[bowtiedbones]

[gives a deeply frustrated sigh]

Ugh, geez. Thanks, I'll check outside then... If she's not in here, I bet she's snuck out for a smoke break. She always does this when she drinks!

[brightlyshining]

Always, hmm? Does she not like crowds?

[bowtiedbones]

[snapping out her phone and shooting off a text to her friend]

No, she's great with crowds, it's the smoking. She quit forever ago, but everytime she goes out she gets an excuse!
