Yuri doesn't flinch, but he doesn't respond, either, and Victor's never been very good with silence. He wasn't yesterday, and he won't magically be better at it today, probably, even after everything that happened last night.
Maybe especially because of all that, considering the way Yuri is staring at Victor's hand on his leg, in troubled silence. He'd talked Yuri down from a few spirals last night, but those, he'd been able to understand without too much wheedling or coaxing from Yuri himself. This, he's lost at sea without a compass, without stars or moon to steer by.
All he has is Yuri, and his hand on Yuri's leg, that tightens, gently. "Yuri?"
How can he fix this, when he doesn't even understand what's wrong?
