Tattooed (Otayuri AU) - Soulverse 1

Chhh tenthree: Flight fright

"This is awesome! I'm so happy!" Yuri danced around his hotel room. He was wearing the biggest smile of his life up to that point. Minnie and Sam were trying not to die of laughter but Yuri wasn't even a little bit annoyed at them. He had just got the best news he thought he could ever get. Otabek was moving back from Kazakhstan!

A knock on the door broke through Yuri's thoughts and he skipped to the door with the smile still etched on his face. He opened the door and dropped the smile. He tried to pull himself together to look presentable. Sam and Minnie stifled their laughter to small giggles.

"Why did you drop the smile? You looked really pretty with it." Otabek's voice carried into the room and Sam and Minnie couldn't help but burst out laughing again. Yuri's face turned unmistakably red. "Did I say something wrong?" Otabek asked. Yuri could finally move again and he stepped way from the door to let Otabek in. He closed the door behind him.

"No, you said nothing wrong. Sam and Minnie have been in a particularly good mood these last few days, that's all." Yuri explained as he looked at the floor letting his hair fall down to hide the blush. "Why did you decide to come by?"

"I wanted to ask what flight you're taking home today? Maybe we're on the same one?"

"We're on the flight that leaves at two." Sam finally got managed to calm down enough to speak. "We're all on the flight that leaves at two for some reason. I don't know how it happened but I'm glad it did because otherwise that would've been a long flight."

"Who do you mean by all? Minami and the others too? Miranda as well?" Otabek asked.

"Yup." Minnie chirped.

"Well that's fortunate, I'm on that flight too." Otabek smiled and Yuri knew his blush darkened.

"I thought I might ask someone to change seats with me so that I can sit with Miranda because we have this great conversation going and I don't want to risk this new friendship." Minnie said as she absentmindedly played with her hair, looking down at her lap.

"Are you sure that's the only reason?" Sam winked and Minnie pushed him off the bed.

"You're gonna sit with Minami and Leo and Guang-Hong yourself! You already talked with Phichit about switching seats with him so that he can talk with Viktor and Yuuri." Minnie shot back and now it was Sam's turn to push her off the bed and they both ended up on the floor laughing again. Yuri shook his head with a fond smile on his face. Otabek chuckled making Yuri jump, for a second there he had forgot that Otabek was standing next to him.

"Well if Phichit is sitting with Yuuri and Viktor maybe Chris wants to sit with them too. I'm sure Yuri doesn't mind switching seats with him." Minnie huffed between laughs with a mischievous tone in her voice.

"So this is what you were planning all along!" Yuri exclaimed gently hitting Minnie's arm. "You already knew didn't you? Why didn't you tell me? How dare you! This is why you've been laughing like a loon the entire morning!" Yuri kept punching her arm repeatedly with every word he said but Minnie simply continued laughing.

"I'm ... sorry ..." Minnie tried to talk through her laughter. "I had to ... see your ... face ... and it was sooooo worth it!" She had to wipe away a few tears. "Oh if only Miranda could've seen this!" Yuri stopped.

"Miranda?" Yuri asked.

"Yeah we planned this together." Minnie answered without thinking. Which resulted in Yuri punching her arm again, this time a little bit harder. "Ow, hey there's no need to get mad."

"I'm not mad, that was for the fact that you don't even realise that you've been hanging with her the last few days and I'm happy for you." Suddenly a realisation hit Sam and Minnie saw it immediately in his eyes. She tried to beg him not to say anything with a puppy dog look and he nodded as to say that he'd be quiet for now.

"Your stuff seems to be packed already, do you want to catch something to eat before the flight? It's only a few hours away." Otabek asked catching the three friends' attention again.

"Sure, that sounds nice." Yuri answered taking his jacket. "Shall we go?" He turned to his friends.

"Can we ask the others to join too? And maybe the adults too?" Minnie asked and Sam gave her a look. "What? I just thought it might be easier to get the arrangements for the plane done." She tried to explain herself out of the situation.

"Sure, that's what you meant." Sam said with his sassy voice. Minnie hit his arm. "Okay okay, let's do that." Sam chuckled.

~~~~~

"Hey what's wrong?" Otabek asked. They were sitting in the plane now and Yuri was sitting next to Otabek where Chris should've been sitting. Minnie had convinced Chris to changed seats with Yuri, though let's be honest it wasn't that hard because Chris wanted to catch up with friends. Miranda's mother had switched seats with Minnie so that she could sit next to Miranda.

"Nothing..." Yuri tried to lie but his face wasn't very convincing. He looked pale and a little sick.

"I can clearly see that something isn't right. Could you please tell me?" Otabek turned a little in his seat so that he was turned toward Yuri who was sitting next to the window.

"I'm fine." Yuri tried again.

"No you're not." Otabek insisted. "Please tell me so that I can help you."

"Okay I don't like airplanes that much..." Yuri turned his face toward the window so that Otabek wouldn't see the embarrassed blush. His fingers squeezed the armrest involuntarily as he dreaded the take off. Otabek played his hand on Yuri's and gave it a comforting squeeze. Yuri turned around in surprise.

"Hey don't worry, I'm here for you and everything will go well." Otabek smiled and Yuri felt a little calmer.

Otabek held Yuri's hand the entire time the plane was taking off and he whispered comforting words to him. It was the first time Yuri was able to look out of the window while on a flight.

Maybe everything was finally falling into place.

~~~~~

It was only half an hour until the plane would land. Yuri had just woken up after sleeping for a few hours. He was still holding Otabek's hand. He wanted to thank him but Otabek was asleep.

Without thinking – he was still very tired because he just woke up – he leaned forward and kissed Otabek on the cheek. He sat back down in his seat and looked out the window.

What he didn't know was that Otabek actually was awake but he had been too tired to open his eyes. Otabek's face was slowly turning red when he felt a familiar tingling again.

AN:

Hi and sorry it took me so long to update!

I've got both good and bad news. First the bad, I've only planned two more chapters for this book. Good news is, this will become a series of books. Each book will concentrate on one ship, so this one was for Otayuri and the next one will be for Leoji.

So because this will become a series I'd like to know what ships you'd like to see in their own book. Please leave your suggestions in the comments or dm me if you don't want everyone to see. Your opinion matters really much when I decide these things. <3

I hope you all have a great day, love you all! <3
