Instant agreement, before he's getting up, and pulling Yuri with him. Only a few days before the Rostelecom Cup, and that's not enough time, but they can make it work. That's what night practices and jump harnesses are for, and if anyone can teach Yuri the quad flip, it's him. It's his signature. If it wasn't, it could never have mattered so much.
But it was, is, and it changed everything. "Come on! They're going to need you to go accept your medal."
Silver, but that's acceptable. He hasn't seen Phichit's free skate, but he's willing to bet that when he sees it later, it'll be flawless. Would have to be, to beat Yuri's quads, even with Yuri's mistakes.
(But he did place above Chris, and Victor can't help feeling smug at that. Still beating Chris, even without competing himself ... that must frustrate him.)
It'll take a few minutes to set up the medal ceremony, but the other skaters are coming their way, led by Phichit and Guang-hong, who both throw themselves at Yuri to congratulate him, while Chris slants a look at Victor that's somewhere between annoyed and amused while he shakes hands with Josef and Celestino.
(Yakov and Georgi are nowhere to be seen, which is probably just as well.)
And it's all nice, and delightful, and he can't seem to stop smiling, but he's impatient, too. Looking back on it now, even the last two years doesn't seem like they dragged on as much as these few moments.
