SKATE FAM HOUSE - Following the Swear In

[beautiful_monster]

[Yuri didn't waste any time bolting home after the perfume explosion. His initial plan had been to sneak in and wash the lingering stench off, but the problem with that is how noticeable the smell is. Sneaking anywhere is pretty impossible.]

[ Yuuri had already registered at the last swear-in, so he'd skipped this one. Thankfully so, apparently...? ]

-- Yuri? What happened?

[beautiful_monster]

[UGH. Just his luck.]

...The perfume gazebo blew up.

[nextlevel]

The - what? That doesn't make any sense.

[beautiful_monster]

Well that's what happened!

[nextlevel]

A gazebo exploded. With perfume.

... The perfume part I believe.

[beautiful_monster]

Why would I make up an explosion?

[nextlevel]

You wouldn't, but - I thought swear-ins were supposed to be safe.

[beautiful_monster]

Are you serious? Everyone I talked to said it was pretty common for them to get attacked.

[nextlevel]

N-no? I hadn't heard that yet.

[beautiful_monster]

[Normally Yuri might try to rile him up with everything he's heard about, but right now...it just doesn't seem appealing.]

Well...they aren't. It's a good idea to avoid them.

[nextlevel]

[ Huh ... is it just him, or is Yuri acting strangely? ]

Good thing I didn't go then. Here, let me throw your jacket in the washer.

[beautiful_monster]

[Maybe the explosion rattled his brain.

He nods and shrugs out of the jacket, holding it out to Yuuri.]

Thanks. I was going to do it myself after I showered, but you caught me coming in

[ It's also hard to sneak in when there's a dog as well. Makkachin comes bounding up to the new person coming home, maybe it's his owner? Or Yuuri?? But OH it's the cat person owner! Makkachin bounds up to him, ready to lick his face in greeting—

—when he skids to a stop at the horrid smell coming off of him. Immediately, Makkachin turns around and runs back up the stairs to escape the foul odor, whimpering slightly. ]

[beautiful_monster]

Ugh. At least you aren't stuck with it, you mutt!

[fourlevels]

[ Yuri can hear Viktor's voice before he comes down the stairs. ]

Eeh, Makkachin? What's gotten into you?

[ Viktor comes down then, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

Did someone scare Makkachin just now?

[beautiful_monster]

[Yuri backs up as if that is actually going to keep the smell from reaching Viktor.]

Your dog got scared on its own! I don't know why.

[fourlevels]

[ The moment of detection is painfully obvious in the way Viktor pauses mid-step to take another big whiff of the air. ]

Phew~ Yurio, did you bathe in something smelly this morning?

[beautiful_monster]

[He groans and tugs his hood down over his eyes.]

No. Why would I do that?

[fourlevels]

Because you smell really nice right now! Though it's really powerful too ... Maybe we should open a window?

[beautiful_monster]

...It's perfume. There was an explosion at the swear-in.

[fourlevels]

An explosion? You're not hurt, are you?

[beautiful_monster]

Oh...no, I'm alright. I don't think anyone was nearby when it happened.

[fourlevels]

Ah, thank goodness for that.

[ Then Viktor does something out of character for him when it's not aimed at Katsuki Yuuri: he reaches out to lay his hand on Yuri's shoulder, squeezing it companionably. ]

[beautiful_monster]

[Yuri, for once in all the time they've known each other, doesn't pull away.]

...I would've called you if I got hurt.
