<blockquote>Victor and Yuuri are planning a wedding. In fact, to accomodate all their cultural traditions, they're planning three. For the Russian one, Victor is thinking a cathedral and golden crowns. Never mind that he's not religious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It’s because of this - this tendency of Viktor’s to be all limbs, always moving, even when he’s relaxed - that the thing with the feet happens. Not the thing with Yuri’s feet: that happens a lot, because Viktor is not subtle in his interests and Yuri is not the kind of man to pass up on leverage like that. No, this is the thing with Viktor’s feet. The one that leads to Yuri’s most widely-screencapped and circulated instagram post ever, and also Viktor’s most infamous profile picture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A year ago, Victor would never have dared to do something like this. Yuuri would have flinched, pulled away, been convinced Victor was making fun of him. Now Yuuri just smiled and said, "Think about what? My husband coming to bed in a wig and flannel pajamas? No, I don't think I did."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Moving to St. Petersburg was Yuuri's idea. Viktor wanted to stay in Hasetsu.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Phichit's phone buzzes. christophe-gc has posted a new photo, it tells him. When he thumbs the screen, it brightens to reveal a shot of Christophe Giacometti, lounging on a bench, wearing nothing but a Speedo and his skates. greetings from your local king of selfies, says the caption. Phichit doesn't actually know Chris - not personally. He has nothing to prove. But Phichit is also, categorically, a competitive little shit, and he knows he can do better. So it begins.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The justification Yuri gives himself for ending up at Yu-Topia is that the onsen is practically part of his training regime. He goes into the kitchens first, entirely because it’s polite to greet Hiroko and not at all because he’s looking for Grandpa. He finds possibly the last thing he expected to find in Hiroko’s kitchen. There’s Grandpa, which is predictable. He reaches out to ruffle Yuri’s hair, and Yuri pretends to hate it, also predictably. Grandpa has on one of Hiroko’s aprons, and is evidently in the middle of chopping up some kind of vegetable, which is still not the unexpected part. The unexpected part is that Viktor is also wearing an apron, and is peering into a metal bowl looking perplexed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>‘What should I do?’ Viktor asks, which surprises Yuri. He’d thought Viktor was going to go on with freaking himself out over the fact that Yuri’s freaking out. ‘I told you.’ Yuri leans into Viktor’s shoulder a little, because he can do that now, without it being weird, or turning into something neither of them are ready to handle. ‘You gotta have more faith in me than I do.’</blockquote>

<blockquote>well! this is sort of in the vein of most post ep-10 speculation in that it involves viktor having a big fat crush on yuuri before the series even begins. however! i've actually had this fic in the works for a few weeks and its premise is basically that viktor's been into yuuri for...a lot...longer</blockquote>
