[Like always, he feels better after letting everything out. It's not the end of the world.]
[Er. Not yet. That's what they're trying to prevent, right? The people here seem to have hope for the future, and there's something he can do to help instead of just sitting on his hands. Being powerless to help and powerless to do anything that might get them home faster would make this even worse.]
[So after having a good cry, Yuuri sniffles a little and pulls back slightly and wipes at his eyes with his sleeve. Whatever happens next will happen and all he can do is still practice when he can and do his best with anything else he tries.]
[But as he pulls back to look at Victor -- still hovering close in his space, still half in his arms -- he wonders the same thing.]
[If skating is possibly taking a back seat, Yuuri won't be much of a skater and that means Victor won't be much of a coach. He'll only be his sometimes-coach. That'll make things different, won't it? And in the face of this superhero thing, they'll both be the students, trying to learn how to do something they have no experience with, having to train and work hard at it.]
[Yuuri takes a few steadying breaths.]
I'll still need you to coach me. Whenever we do have time for it.
[He frowns.]
But we won't have as much time for that, so...mm.
[It's not like they don't spend time with each other off the ice but they do spend hours of their time together on it. So if they're not doing that as much...what now? What happens in that space? What are they?]
