Yuri's response doesn't sound certain, but Victor's not sure if he should believe that or the hand that carefully curls around his forearm. Saying don't let go, maybe, even though there's no danger of that. He'd only let go now if Yuri actually told him to, tried to pull away, said no, this isn't comfortable, it's not fine.
If he were angry with Victor the way he probably should be but isn't.
(Is that the missing piece? The thing he keeps waiting for, that just never comes? Yuri told him to go, and Yuri hasn't said anything that sounds like he's changed his mind about what Victor should do, and Yuri asked Victor to stay his coach until he retires --
But he should be angry, shouldn't he? Mere days after saying with absolute certainty that Victor wouldn't hurt him, hurt is exactly what he got.)
But he doesn't say any of that, only slips a hand to wrap gently around Victor's arm, and even if he doesn't settle back, it doesn't seem like he's going to move, or wants to. "Good."
On the screen, the ice dancers are replaced by a pairs couple that must be new to seniors, Victor doesn't know them. "Maybe Yurio will be next."
Probably. They'll end with JJ, and Mickey Crispino may have already gone, so it would make sense for Yurio to be the next to skate. "I wonder if his grandfather made it to watch him."
