It surprises a laugh out of him, the last thing he would expect Yuri to say. He doesn't even know what it means, but it's not said in a way that makes it sound like a good thing. If anything, Yuri sounds annoyed by it. "What do you mean?"
He's not sure what would be so deeply aggravating about him looking fine, whatever that means, but he issure he shouldn't find Yuri's exasperation so very appealing. It's familiar, looks like the face Yuri gets when Victor is being especially frustrating in the rink, telling Yuri to try something that Yuri thinks is obviously insane, or like the face Yuri gets when Victor is dragging him all over Southern Japan, demanding photographs and to try absolutely every new thing that he can find.
Like Victor doesn't live in the real world, the way Yuri does, and is a source of aggravation as much as or more than he is one of comfort or inspiration.
Probably it's equally as annoying that he enjoys it, instead of being insulted by it. You've never been insulted a day in your life comes floating back, and he's right: Victor's never been insulted by this, even if he should be. How could he be? It's still time spent with Yuri. Still Yuri treating him like a normal person instead of being too afraid to even talk to him, like he was when Victor first appeared at his family's hot spring.

There's really nothing about this not to love.
