What hit me the hardest in the airport scene was Victor’s expression when he runs to Yuri. Victor’s almost always cool and confident, or flirty and silly. A few times we saw him shocked, worried, or confused, but he’s never looked utterly vulnerable like this:
Just from being separated from Yuri, he looks so desperate to hold him again, like he’s broken without him. There’s so much concern and yearning in his eyes.
And then he stands there with his arms open, silently pleading for him, like Please I need you
imagine everyone who went to grade school with yuuri seeing internationally televised footage of him getting slammed to the ice and kissed by viktor and just thinking “oh damn i guess in the fourth grade he was serious when he said he was going to marry viktor nikiforov”
I love how tentatively Viktor approached Yuuri during the Sochi banquet. Look at how many shots it took for this boy to get to Yuuri.
I find this to be especially precious given how Viktor already got rejected by Yuuri earlier that evening.
For all of his being a celebrity, Viktor does not strike me as the kind of person who can easily brush off another person’s dislike of him. Hell, he made a career out of pleasing everyone, and while I don’t think he would cry over another person’s opinion of him, neither does he seem like someone who could just easily dismiss it or not be hurt. I mean look at this face:
His reservations about approaching the fascinating Japanese boy were therefore perfectly understandable. We can even clearly see that he kept his distance for a bit at first.
But like a moth to a flame,
this precious boy
can’t seem to help himself.
And for a while it doesn’t seem like Yuuri even noticed him there?
