Well... The explosion was bad. [Terrifying even from a distance, in fact.] But I'm not going to be a jerk to you over it.

[nextlevel]

Normally you would be. Just a little bit. Maybe it was the shock ...

[beautiful_monster]

Maybe... All I care about right now is getting rid of this smell and never going to one of those damn things again.

[nextlevel]

Go take a shower then. Maybe you'll feel better.

[ While he gets this jacket washed. And gets this perfume all over himself too. ]

[beautiful_monster]

I will as long as this crap washes off.

[He hesitates just long enough to send Viktor off with a shopping list for pirozhki ingredients and heads upstairs to get cleaned up. Thankfully the smell does wash off for the most part, only lingering very faintly around him when he comes back downstairs a while later.]

[nextlevel]

[ When he does, the jacket is being washed and ... Yuuri looks ... a little bit drunk? He's humming as he simmers something on the stove. ]

[beautiful_monster]

[That's...not quite what he expected when he came back.]

What are you making?

[nextlevel]

-- Oh, Yuri. I found a Russian recipe on the internet I wanted to try. And I guess seeing you come in reminded me.

[beautiful_monster]

Ah—not Viktor?

[nextlevel]

No? Why, did you ask him about it?

[beautiful_monster]

No, I just meant— I thought he'd make you think of something like that instead.

[nextlevel]

You're Russian too, Yuri.

[beautiful_monster]

[But not the Russian you're marrying!! It's nice to be thought of first anyway.]

Yeah—whatever.

Anyway, I was thinking of making pirozhkis too. Do you think that'd be too much food?

[nextlevel]

No way. We'll just have lots of leftovers.

[beautiful_monster]

That's a good point. It'll all make a good lunch tomorrow.

[nextlevel]

Right. So - over there, you can use that pan. We can cook together.

[beautiful_monster]

Okay, I shouldn't need too much space for it.

[nextlevel]

Stand next to me then?

[beautiful_monster]

...Yeah, okay.

[He puts Viktor to work chopping vegetables and takes the spot beside Yuuri to start mixing the dough together.]

[nextlevel]

[ And Yuuri keeps stirring this pot of stew carefully. ]

I'm glad you showed up here. It's not the same without you.

[beautiful_monster]

[He pauses, glancing over like he doesn't quite believe his ears.]

...Really?

[nextlevel]

Really, Yuri. You know Viktor and I both love you, right?

[beautiful_monster]

[He makes a strangled sound and his entire face flushes bright red.]

Wh—What! What?! You can't just say that!

[nextlevel]

Why not? Isn't it true?

[ He seems almost drunk right now. ]

[beautiful_monster]

How should I know? Why would it be?!
