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?!

[nextlevel]

Why wouldn't it be?

[beautiful_monster]

I... I don't know that either.

[Mostly because his self confidence is too healthy to actually come up with reasons not to love him.]

[nextlevel]

See? It makes sense. You shouldn't be surprised at Viktor, at least.

[beautiful_monster]

Maybe, but I wouldn't expect him to say it.

[nextlevel]

... Why not? He seems pretty open.

[beautiful_monster]

He's like that with you because he wants to marry you, but me and him are only rinkmates. It's different even if he likes to try to play house.

[nextlevel]

What do you mean, play house ...

[beautiful_monster]

You haven't noticed him trying to make me call him Papa or Mama since he realized he was my guardian here?

[nextlevel]

That's not normal for him?

[beautiful_monster]

It's...new. And weird, but I guess it's normal.

[nextlevel]

I was going to say. I bet he still called you stupid nicknames even before all of this.
