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.

[beautiful_monster]

There's a few dumb ones, but the one he uses most is Yura.

[nextlevel]

Yura? Why Yura?

[beautiful_monster]

It's a common Russian nickname for Yuri. Like...Liz, for Elizabeth.

[nextlevel]

But it's the exact same length.

[beautiful_monster]

Sure, but it's still a nickname. It's more familiar.

[nextlevel]

I don't understand Russian nicknames.

[beautiful_monster]

Well, I like it.

[nextlevel]

Does that mean I can call you Yura then?

[beautiful_monster]

[No!!

But actually he tugs his hood down over his eyes and shrugs.]

If you want to.

[nextlevel]

[ Yuuri just beams at him. ]

Yura, then. I like the sound of that.

[beautiful_monster]

Don't get weird about it. [He says with a smile.]

[nextlevel]

I'll try not to. But I'm just so pleased. Half the time I'm just intimidated by you.
