[ It's still the small hours of the morning when Yuri flips his video on to record; he's in one of Otabek's oversized t-shirts, and still in bed from the looks of it. His free arm not holding the phone is slung around Otabek's neck, and at first glance it looks as though Yuri is flipping off the camera- but no, that's his ring finger on proud display, a delicate band of black with inset diamonds clearly and proudly shown off for the world to see. Yuri's smiling like he never does- wide and proud, his eyes shut and scrunched up with obvious delight. If one were to look closely, they might even see the faintest hint of tears still clinging to his blond lashes.
With a jubilant shout, Yuri gets on to let the inhabitants of Riverview know: ]
GUESS WHO'S FUCKING ENGAGED, BITCHES!!!! [ He whoops excitedly, turning his head as though he's about to kiss the side of Otabek's own face, but the video ends before he gets there, preferring that kind of affection for private, thanks. ]

But young people are not known for thinking things through. He was like that once. Never got engaged, but he did make plans in his head at the time to spend the rest of his life with a dame he'd only just met. Yuri's at least known Otabek for longer.
He doesn't switch on the video until he's decided how best to react. Telling Yuri his concerns will just make the kid push him away, and selfishly, he doesn't want that. Not when he's decided to stay.
When he does switch on the video, he's changed into the "world's okayest dad" t-shirt Yuri got him for a gag gift at Christmas, and he quirks a brow pointedly at the screen.]
Thanks for letting your mentor, who cares about you oh so much, know first, kid. [He's got a hell of a poker face, but there's a slight glint in his eyes that Yuri might recognize.]

I literally posted that seconds after I found out. Jeeze. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops you know? [ He beams, not in the least deterred by that ol' poker face trick. Too happy and excited for the future to do anything else but smile. ] You know now, duuuuh.

You could have texted me before you shouted it to the whole quarantine. I see how it is. [He chuckles.] I ain't throwin' you a bachelor party.

You already make me eat bad food and watch worse movies.

And you love every minute, don't even pretend. [ He stuck out his tongue again, just for good measure. ]

I dunno, I really regret putting convenience store sushi filled with deep fried spiders in my mouth.
no subject
That was a choice we both made, and agreed upon. And I at least enjoyed you making the face that came afterwards. [ He laughs. ]

It wasn't as funny as when you got a leg stuck in your teeth. I managed to get my whole spider down.
no subject
The best part was wiggling the leg with my tongue. Made it look like it was still alive. You're just jealous of my comedic genius.

Sure kid, you're a real Lou Costello.

We'll make sure you're the first to know when we start having children.
[ He manages to do it without a smirk or faltering, even. ]

If that's any sooner than about ten years from now, they'll never find your body, Altin.

Of course, Sir.
