The Hour Before (Otayuri)

The Hour Before

7:13 pm

He should have never said anything.

Yuri groans as he watches Victor dash in and out of his bedroom, barely slowing down to shout instructions at Yuuri in the next room over.

"CAN YOU OLDIES STOP RUNNING AROUND AND LEAVE ME ALONE?"

Victor pops his head into the doorway. "Not when our beautiful son is going on his first date ever!"

Yuuri stands beside him. "We aren't even that old Yurio, Victor is only turning 30 this year."

Yuri sighs and turns back to the mirror. "Yep, old. Just go away and let me get ready in peace."

He ignores their cries of protest and closes the door. "Now what to do with my hair.."

Yuri is laying on Otabek's lap in his bed while they are watching T.V. Otabek absentmindedly plays with his hair while keeping his eyes glued to the screen.

"Yura?" Otabek asks.

"Yeah?"

"Why have you never dated before?"

Yuri laughs. "I guess I've just never had any interest in girls before. Haven't you seen my fans? Scary."

They both go silent for a moment, Yuri is the one to break it.

"Why do you ask?"

Otabek goes red, "O-oh no reason...have you ever thought maybe you were just looking in the wrong place? "

Yuri sits up and looks at Otabek, confused. "What do you mean?"

"W-well maybe you aren't interested in girls?" Otabek stammers, obviously not thinking the conversation would ever get this far.

Yuri snorts "I wonder what made you bring this up so suddenly, what does it matter to you if I'm interested in guys?"

Otabek looks at him wide eyed, too shocked to form proper sentences.

The look on Otabek's face is too much for him, Yuri falls back on the bed laughing "If you wanted to ask me out so badly, you should have just said so".

"B-but-"

"Saturday Night, 8 sharp. You better not be late. Take me to one of those bars you work at."

"What?! Yura wait!"

Yuri's out the door before Otabek can even finish his sentence.

7:41 pm

A wail coming from his bedroom breaks Yuri's line of thought, he quickly rinses his hair and leaves the bathroom to find Victor collapsed on the floor with Yuri's phone in his hand. Yuri doesn't even need to look at the screen to know who's text messages he's reading.

"VICTOR, GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK AND STOP READING MY MESSAGES FROM BEKA!"

"Yuuriiiii!" Victor whined. "Otabek is taking our son to a bar!"

Yuuri walks over to Victor to console him,  looking over his shoulder to glance at the messages on Yuri's phone. "There there Victor." Yuuri then looks up. "Yurio don't you think you are a little to young to be going to a bar?"

Yuri rolls his eyes. "I'm 18 now, I can go to a bar if I want. Beka's going to be there too, I'll be fine."

"Well if you say so we'll let you go, but now all of Victor's hard work is going to go to waste..." Yuuri smiles sheepishly. "I don't think his outfit choices would work well for clubbing."

Yuri is confused at first, but than he glances to his bed where at least half a dozen outfits are laid out. Each one more ridiculous than the last.

"SHITTY KATSUDON!"

7:55 pm

This close to 8, Yuri couldn't sit still without fidgeting. He instead decided to pace around the living room. Victor and Yuuri whispered to each other excitedly in the corner, making him clench his teeth with frustration.

That isn't helping in the slightest.

Victor was just about to open his mouth to say something in an attempt to calm Yurio's down, when-

*Knock knock knock*

8:00 pm

Yuri head snaps to the door. He rushes over and yanks it open before Victor can make a sound.

Standing there is a blushing, smiling Otabek.

"Hi." Yuri whispered and smiled.

Otabek's smile widens.

"Hi." he whispered back. "8 sharp as promised."

Hello there!

Two stories in under 24 hours I know I know, y'all must think I'm crazy. Well I actually wrote this in 2018! It was originally for my account on AO3, but after posting Reality Check (one of my other stories, you should go check it out!) I thought it might be a good idea to cross post all of the stuff I have!

This version is edited, so it's a bit better than my copy on AO3. But this is still an old story, so please don't judge it to the highest quality...lol.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! Until next time! <3
