Mouth dropping open in theatrical hurt, hand retreating from Yuri's hair to his own chest, like he's been struck, and he gives Yuri a betrayed look. "When did you get so cool?"
It's all part of the game, of course: Yuri has no more wounded him than he thinks Yuri really wants him to move away, but it's the accepted line, the next step in this little dance, this thing that's hovering right on the smoking line between game and inferno.
He could push it over. Not tip, or nudge, or ease: push. Lean into Yuri and burn those words right out of his mouth, that coolness, that disaffected patronizing affection like Victor is just a toddler tugging at his sleeve for attention. He could flip this table over and set it on fire, in a manner of seconds.
If he wanted to, he could. But there's something to be said for keeping the game going. "If you really want me out of the way ..."
Accompanied by a heavy, heartfelt sigh, as he starts shifting to give Yuri room. "Who am I to say no?"
