Because... well, no offense, but I think I know you pretty well. You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve. And I knew you didn't feel the same way, and I didn't want to make things awkward.
You're saying stuff that's making me feel like maybe I would have stood a chance...?
God, I don't know if it's gonna be worse if you say yes, or no. And... age difference? You and Viktor have a bigger age difference than you and I do!!!
[Yuuri's been pacing his hotel room as he waits and the second he hears the knock? The door's pulled up a bit quicker than he meant to. A sheepish look crosses his face before he's stepping back.]
[Phichit is standing the doorway, his smile as affable and bright as ever, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. He manages not to look too concerned, but Yuuri should know him well enough to see the anxiety lingering in his expression.]
Yuuri! [He chirps, voice a bit force and more than a little sheepish.] I guess it's time for our awkward talk..

It wouldn't have made things awkward. It's not that I don't like you. I've always thought you were handsome.
I let the age difference between us psyche me out of saying anything. Flirting. Any of that.
I guess my blatant crush on Victor didn't help...

But we're both in our twenties now! It was different for us back then. Not so much now but in Detroit?

It doesn't matter. It's too late to do anything about it now. It's alright!
