Yuri looks uncertain, but then, Yuri has looked uncertain for the lion's share of the time since they've been back up here, so it's probably for the best that Victor encourage him on this, even if he's not sure what this expression means, or if Yuri's still worried about the reality of ... this ... or if Yuri is having some second thoughts. None of which would be surprising, or should be unexpected, and he may just have to weather them until Yuri has come to whatever conclusion that will manage to stick.
(He can hope for one, and still be prepared for the others, can't he?)
In the meantime, whatever else he is or has suddenly become to Yuri, he's still the coach and Yuri is still his skater who needs to unwind from his free skate, and that means that no matter how much Victor might want to keep him here until he's coaxed out all those thoughts and worries and questions he can see chasing themselves around Yuri's head, he has to be the one to push him into taking care of the more immediate physical needs, first.
They have all night, anyway. Or, they have until Yuri falls asleep, which, if precedent is anything to go by, probably won't be long after food and ice and hot water.
But Yuri seems to come to some kind of decision, admitting that a shower would be a good idea, and Victor's near hand goes to his back as he's pushing himself up, firm and steady and it only lingers a little longer than usual, or so he tells himself. "It'll feel good."
It probably will. Hot water and steam relaxing sore muscles and helping untie knots both physical and mental. "Not as good as your family's hot spring, but it'll have to do for now."
Strange to feel that it'll be a relief to get back to Hasetsu for himself as much as for Yuri, but the thought only surfaces before he waves it away again and forgets about it. "Take as long as you want." Which may be true for more than just the shower. Should he add that he'll still be here when Yuri's done, or is that too much, not necessary, would Yuri think he's just teasing him again?
(He'll wait until the bathroom door closes before he gives in to the temptation to pull Yuri's pillow over his own face and press it down.)
