The Midnight Texting Meme 

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's, or brooding alone in the alleys as one does, when your phone rings and dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this time? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Pick up your phone and find out! 

Rules:

• Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
• Tag others
• Have fun!

Not when he's been drinking.

( VIKTOR GETS CLINGY WHEN HE'S DRUNK??? WTF THIS ISNT HIS CHOICE IN LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES )

[yokunaru]

[Ah. Suddenly Yuuri understands what this might be about, and he has to bite back a grin.]

Oh no. Did he start stripping again?

[catsudon]

HE WON'T PUT ANYTHING BACK ON

[yokunaru]

[Why is stripping while drunk a trait that several in their friend circle share??? The world may never know.]

What else is he doing? Make sure you collect the clothes as he's tossing them away! Otherwise you'll have a hard time finding them later.

[catsudon]

WHY DO I HAVE TO PICK UP HIS SHITTY LAUNDRY

HE WAS NEVER THIS BAD BEFORE

[yokunaru]

Really?? You mean he didn't used to do be like this before?

[He's gotten so used to Viktor's brand of shamelessness that it hadn't occurred to him to think otherwise.]

[catsudon]

He could be an embarrassing gross touchy-feely drunk but he didn't used to strip down and ask where we could find a hot spring! Take responsibility! I'm the wrong Yuri for this!

GET HIM TO STOP PETTING MY HAIR
CAN'T YOU SKYPE HIM OR SOMETHING

[yokunaru]

[Ah. That is pretty specific. And familiar. It's also, admittedly, a rather hilarious picture to imagine, though Yuuri doesn't think Yurio's very impressed.]

Tell him I promise I'll call him in a few hours if he puts his clothes back on.

[He was going to anyway, but that's besides the point.]

There's not much you can do about the clinging though, sorry!

[Not sorry. Maybe he should ask Mila to take a picture and send it to him? Hmmm. Tempting.]

[catsudon]

( he actually shoves this text in Viktor's face, which leads to some drunken fumbling and happy sounds that end with Viktor briefly absconding with Yuri's phone to text back a string of hearts and happy faces and random other emoji from Yuri's text emoji menu. the sixteen champagne glasses at the end are, however, deliberate. so is the question mark.

Yuri steals back his phone and pockets it while rounding up his drunk fellow skater's clothing and general mess of a human being state, ultimately returning with a note of: )

I kicked him and the clinging has improved. He's now clinging to the couch and singing. Or maybe that's keening. I'm not sure, but it's annoying either way!

[yokunaru]

[For the sake of his sanity, Yuuri blithely ignores the champagne emojis, though he does send Viktor off with a few heart emojis of his own.]

Not hard enough to injure him, I hope.

[He's been a recipient of Yurio's kicks before. They hurt.]

Thank you for taking care of him, Yurio. I know he can be difficult.

[catsudon]

He's still walking.

( Yuri's not out to injure anyone, Viktor's fiiiiine. As far as kicks are concerned. )

You're both gross, and you're not welcome. Call him soon. The whining's ridiculous.

[yokunaru]

[...that's probably as good as it's going to get, honestly. Yuuri wisely leaves it at that.]

Don't worry, I will. What about you, Yurio? How's training?

[catsudon]

It's going fine. Lilia's been nagging less at the rink but more at Yakov's. For the record, they're ridiculous too. Georgi won't shut up about his new girlfriend, Mila's mooning over Otabek, and then there's you two.

Is there anyone normal left at this rink?!

( *under Yakov, since the other coaches and athletes training are, tbh, fine. )

[yokunaru]

[There's a smile tugging at his lips as he reads all this.]

It all sounds pretty normal to me.

Besides, don't you prefer Georgi in a relationship over him NOT being in one?

[catsudon]

This implies I prefer Georgi at all

[yokunaru]

Do you like ANY of your rink mates?

[catsudon]

Mila's not bad when she's not whining about being hard up between SOs

( why

is this a tag that is reasonable for him to send when he's just not concerned with Yuuri getting a terrible impression about Mila from this LAMSD )

[yokunaru]

So you calling her a hag really is just a sign of affection like I thought!

[As out of it as he was while with Yakov's group during the Rostelecom Cup, he remembers that much.]

[catsudon]

Okay why are you still texting me and not calling Viktor that's what I want to know here Katsudon

[yokunaru]

Okay okay I'll call him as soon as I send this text message.

Thanks again Yurio

And don't worry, I won't tell Mila you're secretly fond of her.
