It's not his alarm that's gone off, but it doesn't matter; he blinks awake in a second to stare at the ceiling and try to remember why he feels so awake on a day off, Maccachin a heavy, too-warm presence at his feet, and then it comes to him ––
The day off.
The beach.
Last night's spirited conversation with Minako and Hinoto running through his head: they'd been extolling the virtues of the Genke this time of year. Minako in particular had counted off a number of seaside attractions she was sure he'd find beyond compelling, and the decision had been an easy one. Yuri could use a day or two off, before they dive into the second and more exhaustive half of their training before the season starts for him in October, and Victor has been itching for, well ...
More time. Time spent in places that aren't the Ice Palace or the hot spring, or running in the woods near the city limits, or exploring Hasetsu. Yuri has been amenable to most of Victor's ideas, but he's begged off a few trips that would take too much time or result in too many calories being eaten. The training is going well and Yuri has relaxed around him a great deal, but, well: Victor's always been a selfish person.
Even if it isn't only thoughts of his enjoyment to come that bubble through his head as he gets up to stretch, while Maccachin follows his lead and slips off the bed, to look at him expectantly. "Come on," he says, sliding the door open with a laugh:
"Let's go wake that sleepyhead up."
Probably it would be kinder to give Yuri a heads up, but he just pads as quietly to the room down the hall as he can, before inching the sliding door open carefully, until he can no longer hold it back. Throwing the door open as Maccachin comes gamboling in to leap onto the lump under the blanket that is Yuri, while Victor's cheerful voice takes the place of the long since silenced alarm.
"Good morning, Yuri! How can you sleep in on a day like today?"
