Title: A Story About Summer

(Yuri on Ice | Otabek x Yuri |  900 words)

Artist: @peggyshrooms​ (also on Twitter)

Author: @erushi (also on Twitter)

Rating: PG-13

Summary:

Summer in Hasetsu felt different from summer in Almaty.

Otabek remarked as much to Yuri, who snorted and rolled his eyes. “Big surprise. They’re different places.”

“They feel different,” Otabek insisted stubbornly. “Hasetsu’s quieter, but there’s something else too.”

Or: A story in which Otabek visits Hasetsu, attends a summer festival, and falls in love - not necessarily in that order.

Scored the YOI Ichiban Kuji “Enjoy Your Trip” Tour Guide Book, and Otabek’s page is just ~killing me.

Scored the YOI Ichiban Kuji “Enjoy Your Trip” Tour Guide Book, and Otabek’s page is just ~killing me.

Imagine:

Otabek sending Yurio pictures of the random, interesting things he finds in Almaty, and Yurio replying, “Give me!!!”

Otabek invariably buying those things for Yurio and sending them to him. 

It starts of as a joke, but like all running jokes, it escalates, until one day, Yurio opens his front door, expecting to find yet another parcel from Kazakhstan… but finds a WILD CITY BOY on his doorstep instead.

“I was expecting something a lot smaller,” Yurio says, with a nonchalance he doesn’t feel. He hopes that Otabek doesn’t hear the slight hitch in his voice.

“Thought I’d deliver it personally,” Otabek grins, sharp and sure, as he drops the black-and-gold cap on top of Yurio’s head. 

What, Yurio tries to say, but Otabek leans in then, and steals the retort right from his lips. 

“Suits you,” Otabek finally murmurs. a while later. A long while later. 

“Oh,” Yurio breathes, slightly dazed. Unthinkingly, his hands fist in the front of Otabek’s jacket, and he reels his maybe-boyfriend in for another kiss.

Further to Oodeo Onsen Otayuri, a friend suggested: 

What if Yurio picked Otabek’s yukata for him, so that they’d match?

So here are 200-ish words exploring precisely that. :D;;


Otabek doesn’t catch on immediately. It’s not the first time that he’s gone shopping with Yuri, and it’s not the first time that Yuri’s tried to pick clothes for him. He still has that t-shirt from Barcelona, the one Yuri insisted he get because it brought out his eyes - whatever that meant.

As yukata go, Otabek supposes this one’s alright. It’s black, a colour he likes, and the silver design is pretty cool. Yuri’s also really keen on it, which is a plus.

He’s still a little self conscious, however, when he steps out of the changing room. “Ta-dah,” he says, putting on his best please-like-me smile.

Yuri gives him a thumbs-up, which is enough to convince Otabek to pay for the yukata shortly after.

It’s only later, when he’s drinking some kind of sweet, fizzy lemonade from a blue bottle, that he catches on.

Yuri hooks his arm around the crook of Otabek’s elbow, snuggling againat Otabek’s bare arm. (Otabek had folded the sleeves of his yukata up by then, the weather hot as it is.)

“I’m glad we match,” Yuri says cheerfully.

Otabek glances at the pattern on Yuri’s yukata, takes in the colours. He looks down at his.

And he promptly chokes.

Flash ficlet for Oodeo Onsen Beka and Yurio because:
1. Beka’s biceps.
2. I genuinely couldn’t tell what Yurio was holding maybe a sex toy? until someone told me that it was ramune.
3. OTAYURI DOESN’T NEED A REASON TO EXIST. 8D
Otabek agrees to...

Otabek agrees to visiting Hasetsu in June, only because Yuri asks him.

“Thank God you came,” Yuri tells him when he meets him at the train station. “One more day alone with Victor and the katsudon, and I’ll go crazy.”

“I don’t mind,” he says, because it’s true.

He’s not expecting Yuri to grin, boyish and wide.

“So, what’s there to do here?” he asks, when he finally remembers to breathe.

Yuri takes his hand in response.
