He doesn't understand that repeated no any more than he did the first time, and he doesn't understand the next sentence that comes ricocheting out of Yuri's mouth, wild and panicked, but he doesn't need to know what Yuri's talking about for it to sink like a fist directly into his solar plexus. "Bad?"
Wasn't it bad enough? Bad enough that people thought they were together even before the Cup of China even started (he doesn't know what that's a reference to, but he saw enough I knew it!!! posts last night to guess that it was probably the case)?
Bad that people thought he was involved with Victor?
Or bad that he was? (Is.
Or.
[with a chill]
...Was?)
But it all takes a back seat to the way Yuri is leaning too far, and Victor is up and reaching for him before he can even comment on anything else, because whatever's wrong will probably only get worse if Yuri actually flails himself straight off the mattress. "Yuri, you're going to fall off! Be careful, come here ––"
His free hand wrapping around one wrist to pull him in, the other (phone in hand), trying to circle around Yuri's waist, because he might not know what's happening, but whatever it is, he'd rather Yuri took it out on him, in his arms, than by slamming the floor and hurting himself. "Why are you so upset?"
