His scowling stamina is just as impressive as Yuri's skating stamina, maybe even more so. But by now, he's felt a burning sensation every time he'd unfairly lost his temper at Yuri, so he was trying his best to have a normal conversation. It was hard to just pretend he wasn't angry for having Yuri try to steal the coach he'd worked so hard to win.

Sinking down, Yurio all but disappeared below the steaming water. His gaze strayed upward toward the sky.

"Do you have another one? A mark?" Yurio was rather sure he felt nothing for Yuri aside from burning hate - a connection he couldn't quell - but he had no other mark. If Yuri didn't, did that really mean...

No, he was sure it didn't.

Even pretending not to be mad makes the marks prickle, and Yuri keeps one hand at his shoulder, scratching absently at the bit that he can reach. The question makes him look up with a soft frown, lips pressing together tightly. Yuri wasn't going to like this, he was sure.

When he moved, he did so slowly, standing up with his washcloth held demurely over himself. There, on the outside of his thigh, was a pair of stylized wings with feathers trailing off of them. Victor's name was written in full in the center of the design.

"Just...don't tell anyone else, ok?"

Seeing confirmation that their relationship is never meant to be more than platonic allows a certain ease across Yuri's body. He wasn't ready to meet someone for that kind of relationship yet, and he didn't feel the spark that normally were meant to be automatic between romantic soulmates.

After forcing himself to give a quick, customary glance Yuuri's way, Yuri's eyes shoot forward quickly. Victor, huh?

"I don't care what your leg says, I'm not giving him up." As soon as the words escape from Yuri's mouth, the burning sensation returns to his shoulder. It's almost like a stab now. Sighing, he looks back to Yuuri, though he's sure to keep his eyes squarely on his face. "He made me a promise. I gave up quads and worked even harder to make sure I got that program."

With the understanding on Yuuri's face, the prickling starts to subside. The less he allows himself to be hurt by the things Yuri says, the less the mark will burn and prickle.

"I get that you came here for him and his promise, but he's...really kind of dumb about these things I think. At least you're here now instead of finding out about...you know, everything, later down the line when it'd probably make the marks worse. So we can figure out what to do from here."

[juniorchampion]

Despite often speaking for the sole purpose of being hurtful, Yuri's confession isn't just meant as an attack. It's a confession. Despite much of Yuri's anger coming from sources outside of the situations themselves, he feels his anger in this scenario is valid. If he'd been allowed to use quads, the win would have been much easier.

Admittedly, it was Victor's decision to blow him off and come to Japan, but Yuri's anger was large enough to share.

"I'm not going to let him off the hook just because he's an idiot. This is pretty big, even for him, but you don't have to know him for very long to realize he's a space head." Yuri had a few chances to speak with Victor before now.
