wauuu This bed is too large

[katsudonprince]

Throbbing. His head is throbbing, and even the light on the other side of his eyelids is too much for him to handle. How much did he drink? Does he even want to know how much he drank? Why had he drank? He knew better, he should have known this would happen-

Oh ugh why does his mouth taste like this...

A deep groan precedes him when he finally rolls out of bed. Why can't he feel carpet underfoo- oh there it is. It's thicker than he remembers it being. His eyes haven't opened yet. He actually has the comforter he'd been tangled up in wrapped around himself tightly, part of it up over his head. His stocking feet are nearly silent as he pads his way down an unfamiliar hall in an unfamiliar house in search of water. He could worry about the rest later, but right this second, he is a spectre in a white duvet in search of relief for his cottonmouth.

[Yuri blinks right back at him, but nods and goes ahead to demonstrate again, a little slower this time. Then he changes direction so that Victor can see from the other side. It doesn't even occur to him that Victor's staring at him for anything more than genuine interest in learning.]

[wauuu]

[he's tempted to ask "again again" until Yuri caught on, but he assumes the man wouldn't ever teach him in earnest if he got annoying. Victor stands, placing his hands and feet like he saw Yuri, letting his weight move him along. It's decent form! Not perfect, but he's confident and controlled with his body.]

[katsudonprince]

[The upside of working with someone that's already experienced in steady muscular control. Yuri nods, looking satisfied. It wasn't perfect, but he hadn't expected it to be.]

Not bad. think your grip's good enough to swing? Your legs are more involved in it but they're more for steering like this than support.

[He waits for Victor to move again before demonstrating, hopping up and curling his calves around the pole as he made another circle around the pole with his hand bearing the majority of his weight. He swings his legs back around and down in order to get back upright without stumbling. It's really quite a graceful display.]

[wauuu]

[Okay, NOW Victor will obviously swoon]

Wow! It's difficult to pay attention, when the teacher is so sexy. I see why this isn't easy to learn.

[katsudonprince]

[Victor isn't taking this seriously, and Yuri just sighs, shaking his head, his face turning pink at the compliments. He'll just go to pick his clothes up and head back to his room, checking his phone's alerts as he goes.]

Do you know what you want for dinner later? Since the stew's gonna be for tomorrow.

[wauuu]

[he'll pout-- even that was too strong, huh? He'd really have to hold back, wouldn't he? Victor stands to follow, shrugging]

Did you have something in mind?

[katsudonprince]

[He's pretty sure that Victor is just blowing smoke up his ass. He's pretty sure the universe is winding up to deliver another awful sucker punch. He's too tired to resist it at this point.]

Not really, but I can make something up.

[wauuu]

I'll try anything you make! Do you want any help?

[katsudonprince]

Well we can't really make something if we haven't figured out where to start yet. Once we figure that out, I'll know if I need help.

[He's just bustling around the kitchen trying to get ideas now, staring up into cupboards with dried goods. He wished they'd gotten more by way of fresh vegetables.]

You could show me how to make something you like, if you think of something you want.

[wauuu]

I'm not much of a cook, myself. Preparing meals for one is rather depressing, so I tend to go out to eat.

[katsudonprince]

Isn't that more depressing though? Not putting in the effort to make something for yourself and ending up spending more on takeout isn't really a great option either.

[wauuu]

I've never really thought about it like that. I usually find someone who will go out with me, anyways. [and he clearly doesn't care about the money.....]

[katsudonprince]

You can't really do that when there's like six feet of snow though. [He shakes his head and picks a few cans down, hoping to get some ideas off the recipes written on the backs of the labels.]

[wauuu]

If you want me to make something, I can, it won't be fancy. You are my guest.

[katsudonprince]

No, no! I've got this, just let me... [Bustling, bustling...they had fresh food now, why couldn't he think of anything?] Eh...

Do you know what you want then?

[wauuu]

Surprise me!

[he is either self sufficient or entirely unhelpful]

[katsudonprince]

[Victor you are entirely useless.]

Ok your surprise is that you get to make it then.

[So there.]

[wauuu]

You're cruel, Yuri! Make up your mind! [you are an impossible mess of mixed signals, but he'll go to the fridge to reach in and pull out the first thing in his reach-- salmon? Salmon it is]

[katsudonprince]

[Well, he couldn't argue against salmon at least. And he actually does have an idea now that he's been presented with a large amount of fish.]

Do you have bred crumbs? Or we can make them with some of the olive oil and seasonings you got.

[wauuu]

I got fresh bread, we can tear some up for crumbs. [he'll find the olive oil and gesture to the spice rack for Yuri to pick what he wants. Helping out with dinner is better than doing it yourself, that's for certain. Victor actually looks pleased by the domesticity]

[katsudonprince]

Actually if you toast it it crumbles apart better so you have more even crust on what you're using it for. That's what the oil is good for.

[As he talks he fishes out a bowl and the eggs that he'll have to make into a bath for the fish after portioning it.]

[wauuu]

How much? I'll toast some now! [whatever this is Yuri has in mind, it's starting to sound really good. He'll takes a few slices of bread and set two in to be toasted]

[katsudonprince]

Maybe a couple more pieces. you can make a little extra and we can store it in the freezer for a long time.

[Yuri's actually quite pleased with the way things are going now, being able to take some sort of agency over what's going on.]

What kind of vegetables do we have available? And I need a pot for rice.

[wauuu]

We used the carrots and potatoes for the stew, I think there's zucchini, beats, and yams left. [he got a few more veggies but he forgot to list them, so Yuri might find what he had in mind if he looks. Victor is rummaging through his lower cabinets, eventually producing a rice cooker.]

This work?

[katsudonprince]

Perfect. [Yuuri hefts the rice cooker onto the counter and strats to figure the settings for it out. It's older than the one he's used to, but it's relatively simple. He has to wash the dust out before they can use it though.]

Hm...since it's fish maybe the zucchini. Or possibly a salad if you have other stuff in the fridge. Maybe double check so we actually know what we have.

[He turned to the egg mixture that he was setting up to check the consistency, then retrieve the toast to start turning into crumbs as soon as it was toasted all the way through.]
