[ The video starts in the low light of a mostly dark room. There’s a bit of sunlight coming in through a nearby window, but the blinds are closed to give the room a soft, muffled quiet atmosphere. Yuri’s face swings into focus, and he smiles at the camera in his own hand knowingly, pressing a finger to his lips in a ‘shhh’ gesture, before turning the camera back towards a very soft and comfy looking pile of bedding- on it, Otabek’s cat Tazaghul. And around her, a mass of soft, tiny, wriggling mewling newborn kittens. ]
Taza went into labour early this morning, it’s been several hours. But mama’s finally all done. She did so good, you guys. [ Yuri’s voice is hushed, adoring. The focus of the camera remains on the kittens, the mom- but Yuri’s free hand reaches into frame, and softly he rubs his fingers between Taza’s ears, who lifts her head. Meows at him softly as her paws kneed against the bedding she and her babies are resting on. ] Six teeny tiny little babies! She’s got them all cleaned up now, such a good mom. [ Yuri coos, voice fond. ] So, everyone welcome them to the world! They’re so cute I could die, aren’t they, Otabek?
[ The camera swings again, to fix upon Otabek, nearby. ]
They’re so small.
[His tone is as quiet as Yuri’s, but the way he says it is so factual. His expression is curious and almost like he has never seen a kitten this size before. He clearly wasn’t knowing what to expect here, and he reaches, gently placing two fingers on one of Taza’s cheeks, gently petting her. She meows quietly, eyes shifting closed and almost burying into the bedding. Otabek’s own attention shifts, lifting to Yuri. There’s a brief glimpse of adoration, but it quickly disappears. ] Mama looks tired, doesn’t she?
Yeah, she does. But she did just bring six little lives into the world. I can’t really blame her. [ Yuri brings the camera back to Taza, where Otabek’s petting her now, as she buries her head into the blanket, closes her eyes as her kittens start to nurse. ] Happy birthday, babies! [ He whispered it, glowing in his tone as his thumb shifts into frame, giving a thumbs up. ]
Oh - it’s...the fifteenth, isn’t it? [ There’s a pause, and Otabek moves his hand away from the cat. He just looks at Yuri for a moment. Quiet, seeming to ponder something. He’s digging through his memories for something that he definitely has buried in there. He seems to realize, since his eyes light up, although his expression doesn’t change. ] It’s Leroy’s birthday, too.
[ The camera jumps, Yuri screeches out- ] WHAT?!? [ And then, the video ends. ]

action to it ;
Now it's their birthday.
[ He's so very endeared to the six little balls of fur and Taza. He can't wait to see what they look like when they get to be a little bit older so that he can start naming them. He enjoys giving them names, but he didn't want to commit to any names until he knew what they looked or acted like. He liked meaningful names. ]
no subject
Yeah. [ Yuri agreed, his voice soft once more, his smile gentle. ] And they're way better than that dumb canuck. They've reclaimed the day. Made it way cooler than JJ ever could. [ Yuri huffed. ]
no subject
They basically made the day. Though I'm going to have to get her spayed soon.
[ Now that he knew, clearly, that she wasn't, he wanted to be sure that he took care of her appropriately. Made sure that she was healthy. ]
They all seem healthy, at least.
no subject
They're so good, so cute. [ He murmured, smiling softly and and scooting closer to Otabek, laying down on his stomach and just... watching. His expression soft. ] And yeah, it'd definitely be good to do that. It couldn't be helped that she came, you know- carrying extras. But it'll be better for her. Get all her shots, and all the shots for the babies too. It's a good thing we got her fleas all cleaned up before she gave birth. [ Because kittens suffering from fleas was always so terrible. They were so small and it was no doubt so itchy and painful and they were just babies... Nope, Yuri hated the thought. ]
They're good little roly poly fluffs. [ He agreed, cooing softly and grinning despite himself. ]
no subject
We'll make sure they're taken care of.[ Because despite knowing that he's glad to take care of them on his own, he won't have to. Yuri has been helpful the entire time, so it's only natural that won't stop. He'll enjoy having his friend by his side. ]
They're cute. I can't wait to see what they're like.
[ Their individual personalities and what they look like. He's so curious. ]
no subject
Frankly, it was a little bit hard to keep his eyes open.
Yawning, Yuri snuggled into his own arm where it was folded under his head, closing his eyes and humming lowly in agreement as he pressed closer to Otabek's side. ]
Whatever their personalities are, they're going to be so good. Even when they're bratty. Or I suppose- catty? [ He chuckled sleepily. ]
no subject
We can move to the couch, if you want.
[ They could snuggle up under a few blankets, turn on a movie, and crash. He was feeling pretty tired himself. Having woken up early to find out his cat was having kittens. He had skipped out on morning training and things, and he had a feeling he'd only really get up to make sure he went to work - if he was going to go today. He considered not. ]
It was a long day.
no subject
Will you carry me? [ He asks, with a hint of teasing in his tone. Doesn't believe the other will seriously do it, although... wouldn't say no if he did, either. ]
It's barely morning. [ He mumbled, closing his eyes and letting himself listen to the soft mewls of newborn kittens, to the purring of a proud mother cat. To Otabek's breathing, and his own heartbeat. Fingers tenderly brushing over warm still-damp fur as he began to drift. ] But I wouldn't say no to a nap...
no subject
[ Otabek notes the teasing, but that doesn't mean he's not going to... do it. His own tone implies that he is not joking - even a little. And, just to make a point - he shifts a little, standing up. He stretches his joints for a moment, then leans down, shifting his hands underneath Yuri, and hoisting him off of the ground. He's totally carrying his friend bridal style. And he's totally carrying him over to the couch. ]
A nap would be nice.
[ The couch. Cuddled up with Yuri. And blankets. Yes. All sounds so appealing. He'll gentle settle him down onto the couch while he grabs the blankets and a remote to turn the television on low. ]

[HUFF! He's a perfectly good home!]
no subject
I need to know that they are compatible with the person they go home with and the environment.
[ Gonna have to be more direct, Frankenstein. ]
no subject
I like cats.
[There aren't a lot of things he does like, so it's clear that cats are an exception. ]
no subject
[ Blinks. Nods. ]
no subject
Tch. I like cats too. Th'hell does that mean beyond that? I've had lots of experience taking care of cats, can you say the same?
[ This. This is the judgemental squint of a sixteen year old who is very protective over six tiny balls of perfect fluff. ]
no subject
Yeah. That, too. I didn't mean he could have any, Yuri. But meeting people would be good for them when they're bigger.
[ In his opinion. ]
