[ 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. ]

[ Otabek blinks a few times. He thought Yuri would have known. But it figures. He didn't want to taint the day that these little cuties were brought into the world, and yet, here he was tainting it. Well, not for himself, but he figured he had tainted it for Yuri. He props his elbows down near the kittens. He's not touching, but he's certainly looking at them. ]

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. ]

[ Otabek doesn't think JJ is that bad. In fact, he has some distinctly fond memories of him, especially when the other taught him the Quad Salchow. Still, he knows that Yuri and JJ didn't get along. Not something he was fully aware of as to the why, but he just kind of accepted it. He reaches out to gently brush a finger over Taza's fur. He keeps his actions short and gentle. He doesn't want to disturb her, or the kittens while they're nursing. ]

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.

[ Otabek scoots in close enough to Yuri that their shoulders are touching, and relaxes his body there. He has one arm propped under his head, the other petting her. Despite petting her, his attention shifts to look at Yuri. He's watching him and listening to him talk. He's comfortable here, their bodies close, watching the kittens. He could sleep here. It has been a rather long day. Taza had surprised him with the early morning start. ]

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. ]

[ His attention diverts, tugging Yuri towards him, letting the other use him as a pillow if he should want. He's gotten pretty comfortable lying here. They can relocate soon, though. He doesn't really want to stop looking at the kittens, but... ]

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.

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-10-01 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ 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. ]

Thank you. So small, too.

Was that your cat or Yuri's?

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-07-19 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She's mine. Well, she found me the week I got my own place here. She came with some bonuses.
anotheroldsoldier: (wry smirk)

[personal profile] anotheroldsoldier 2017-08-10 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
I can see that. Good luck taking care of that many.

Yuri's helping. And Taza's a good mama. She's doing most of it.

[personal profile] anotheroldsoldier 2017-08-15 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't imagine for a second he wouldn't be where kittens are. Good luck to Taza too, though.

Maybe we should hold off on introducing me to any baby animals. I don't exactly have much experience with pets.
anotheroldsoldier: (sarcasm)

[personal profile] anotheroldsoldier 2017-08-18 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not afraid of kittens. I just don't think it's a good idea for a guy with a bionic arm to handle things that delicate.
anotheroldsoldier: (wry smirk)

[personal profile] anotheroldsoldier 2017-09-02 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright. You guys enjoy your kittens extra for me.

[Oh, hell no. His weakness, discovered. This is the guy who nearly wrecked his car to prevent it from hitting a kitten. Playing with a butterfly. It had been...agonizingly cute.]

you need help with those

Not right now but...I'm not opposed to people visiting when they get a little bigger, if you want.

[ Socialize them and all that. ]

[personal profile] 500gallontank 2017-07-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. They'll need homes. Too.

[Surely NOBODY on floor 10 would mind a kitten. Surely not. ]
bringbackgold: (pic#11443836)

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-07-24 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Eventually, yes. Once they are bigger. I want to make sure they go to good homes.
500gallontank: (think this might be a trap?)

[personal profile] 500gallontank 2017-07-30 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
What are you trying to say?

[HUFF! He's a perfectly good home!]
bringbackgold: (pic#11443837)

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-07-31 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
That I want to make sure they have good homes.


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. ]

[ DOUBLE HUFF. ]

I like cats.

[There aren't a lot of things he does like, so it's clear that cats are an exception. ]
bringbackgold: (pic#11443836)

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-08-01 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? That seems to be a common theme here. Did you want to come see them when they're bigger?

[ Blinks. Nods. ]
bringbackgold: (pic#10855572)

[personal profile] bringbackgold 2017-08-07 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Busted. He looks over towards Yuri. ]

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. ]

I don't anticipate they'll be quiet when they get bigger.
