At first, there's nothing but silence stretching, and Yuri's stricken face, but he has to wait it out, has to give Yuri the chance to ––
Oh.
Oh.
He's not expecting the thin twin streams of tears that pool and then slip down Yuri's cheeks, and whatever he was thinking a second ago, he takes it all back now. "Ah, sorry, Yuri ––"
Hands lifted in apology, taking a careful step towards him, a little afraid that any sudden movement will just shatter the skater in front of him even further. Well, if he'd wanted to know where his priorities lie, that question has been answered with flashing alarm lights and sirens and a huge banner draping itself over his head. Being the harsh coach is too impossible when breaking Yuri's heart feels like breaking his own, and he should never have offered an empty threat like that, anyway.
Not that any of that is his immediate problem, which is that Yuri is crying, and all Victor knows is he wants it to stop.
