We all filed into the car Victor, again was driving, Yuuri sat beside him leaving Beka and I in the back. I looked at Victor and Yuuri through the rearview mirror, they both had the same stern look on their face, maybe they had a fight or something while we were outside. I then glanced at Beka he was oddly tense, I was curious to why but I decided not to ask. After a long quiet drive, we had finally made it home.
"So what's for dinner?" I asked bluntly, to finally break the silence
"Oh I hadn't thought about that," Yuuri said.
"I could go with you to get food," Beka suggested.
"Ok well, what does everyone want."
"I don't care what it is, as long as it's edible," I said.
"You know what I like Yuuri," Victor said with a smile
"Well, in that case, we will be back."
I just stood and watched as they left. Once the door closed, Victor headed to the kitchen.
"Hospitals are unbelievably draining," He sighed opening the fridge taking out his bottle of Vodka, and pouring a shot.
"Your drinking already..." I signed watching from the archway
"Well, yea... it's a good way to destress... of course.. your probably the most stressed... Considering Earlier. You know you can try some."
"No, I don't want to!" I said decidedly
"Suit yourself," said he then downed the shot in one go.
...
.
"You know what... One shot won't kill me... I'll take one."
"You're sure? I'm not trying to pressure you, you know."
"Yea.. Give me the shot glass..."
"Alright.." He said pouring another shot, "Don't tell Yuuri ok, you know how he is."
"Yea... Yea..." I said taking the shot from him, going to sip it as I would water
"Heh..." Victor said pouring his second shot I noticed he had turned the glass upside down as he drunk, so I decided to copy how he did, I felt my body shake as it entered
"UGh," I coughed and then looked at Victor who was smiling "That was Foul! You actually drink this stuff."
"It's ok if you don't like it, It's not for everyone.."
"We are here!" Yuuri called As he entered the house, as he did Victor snatched the empty glass from me and put both in the sink in a fluid motion the next moment Yuuri walked into the Kitchen and looked at Vodka
"Vitya... isn't it a little early to be drinking..." Yuuri sighed
"You're right... I'm sorry.."
"Well, we have food.. lets eat.."
"Mc Donalds again..." I said
"I mean if you had a preference you should have said before..." Yuuri sighed
"Whatever, this is fine... "I said
"Yuuri do you mind if I drink at dinner.."
"Fine but not too much ok..." Yuuri said
Like that we all began to eat, I couldn't get that taste out my mouth though
"blahg" I sighed after swallowing a piece of my burger
"Do you not like it?" Yuuri asked
"No, I just have an awful taste.."
"really? Do you feel sick at all? Things sometimes taste different when you are." Yuuri suggested
"No, I don't think I'm sick..." I said taking another bite at the same time Victor's shot glass hit the table as he took his third shot that day
"Honestly Vitya how much have you had..."
"Just one... HOnestt.." He replied, I pretty sure I'm not the only one who can tell that was a lie. "Oi Yuriii don't forget to drink some water it's good for you..."
"Vitya if anyone needs water right now it's you..." Yuuri sighed
"Are you tell me I shouldn't encourage water drinking?!" Victor just about yelled with a shocked look on his face and then poured glass four
"Victor you've had enough..." Beka said calmly before Yuuri could say something
"Okay, I'm going to bed." Yuuri said decidedly after finishing his food "I'm taking the drunk with me" He added, and after that, they were gone.
"Well I've finished Yura.. See you upstairs when you're done," Beka said
"Ok, Beka see you in a bit," I said back to him once he left I looked at the table.. going by Dedushka's last one at the table rule, I'd have to clean the table. My eyes landed on that 4th shot victor poured... "Looks like he didn't drink it," I thought to myself as I cleared the table. "I still don't understand why he likes this stuff that was foul." I thought as I picked it up "Maybe if I just try it one more time I'll change my mind..."
"Hey, Yuri you going to bed soon?" Yuuri asks walking out the room, and his eyes landed on the shot glass in my hand "What are you doing?" He asked a little worried
"Oh, this is what Victor poured before you took him to bed," I said as I walked to the sink and poured it out.
"Oh sorry.. for I moment I thought you were drinking..."
"What? Me? No, I have a reputation to keep up what would countries like America and Japan think if me, a 16-year-old, drinking."
"Yea I should of known... After all your reputation is significant to you. Well, good night."
"Yea, yea, same to you," I said walking upstairs.
I can't believe I almost convinced myself to take the second shot, dang it now I owe Yuuri something... Not that he knows that. Like that, I went to bed.
~~Later~~
"Yurochka! Wake up!"
"Huh?!"
"Jeez, I've been trying to wake you for an Hour... Happy 16th birthday Yurochka" Dedushka said holding a yellow box with black cat silhouettes on it
"Oh Dedushka, Thank you!" I said as he handed me the box.
I began to unwrap the box and when I opened it there was a paper inside. Wait? What? That's odd this a certificate of death...
"This is to acknowledge the death of... Nikolai Plisetsky" I read
"Dedushka is this a joke," I said looking at Dedushka, but it wasn't Dedushka anymore it was Yuuri
"I'm sorry Yuri.," he said solemnly
I looked around and realized I had moved places I was in the hospital again. I didn't quite have time to mourn the loss of Dedushka because Yuuri, Victor, and Beka were melting into a clear liquid and the same liquid was flowing from upstairs when I tasted the Liquid, it was foul. Vodka. The room flood faster after I tasted it. In a panic, I realized if it didn't stop I'd drown I got to find a way out but the room was shrinking, and as it did the vodka levels rose before I knew it, everything from the neck down was submerged, and in the next second I was fully submerged.
"Ah!" I jerked upwards... I was back in my room.. it was a dream, but the foul taste form before I drowned lingered. I looked at the time, 1 Am, Jeez what a pain... I won't be able to go back to sleep... My eyes landed on Otabek he was still fast asleep, at Least I didn't wake him up. Decidedly I got up and changed into my work out gear, going for a jog and doing stretches should calm me down, Unlike Victor, I destress healthily. As I walked out of the room, I grabbed my phone and earbuds; I turned on my usual work out playlist, like that I started my run. Ah...Moscow at 1 Am it's so peaceful knowing all the Idiots went to bed. for 15 minutes I ran till I heard my stomach rumbled, guess I'll eat before my stretches I decided to turn around to go home
"Morning Yura," Beka said
"Beka?! Why are you awake?"
"I could ask you that, I woke up at the same time you did, you woke me, I tried going back to sleep but couldn't, now we are here."
"Oh, sorry I woke you."
"It's ok Yura; I made breakfast if you're hungry."
"Are those waffles."
"Yea..J- I mean a Friend sent them to me from Canada, with maple syrup."
"Ah I see, and by a friend, you mean I'm guessing.."
"No, I don't I mean JJ, just because you don't like JJ doesn't say he's not my friend Yura.."
"Eh, Whatever." I sighed getting myself waffles and sitting beside Beka
"Hey, Yura.."
"Hmm?" I Hummed as I cut up my waffles
"Why do you keep waking up so early?"
"Well... It's nothing, don't worry about it." Stuffing a piece of waffle in my mouth
"Ok, Yura, Whatever you say."
"mmmm, These are good."
"what did you expect? These are Belgian Waffles with fresh maple syrup." Beka said chuckling a little.
"Yea, yea... you know what would go well with this, Milk.."
"is that so." Beka said getting up "Then I'll pour us some."
"You don't have to, and I can get my own Milk."
"No, It's ok, I don't mind," he said with the crisp sound of pouring Milk in the background.
"Fine, whatever," I said decidedly and stuffed another bit of Waffle in my mouth
"Here you go," Beka said setting down my glass then walking to is a seat with his drink.
"Thanks.."
"You're Welcome, Yura"
"so what do you plan to do? since I Woke you so early."
"I Don't know quite yet. I might go for a quick ride since I have the time, what about you."
"I figured I'd get my daily stretches in for the first time since last week... Just because I'm on break doesn't mean I should let my flexibility go to waste."
"It makes sense, But I'd suggest washing your face first.."
"what? why!?"
"you're covered. I'm syrup and waffles." Beka snickers
"Whatever, you have a MIlk mustache Beka."
"what?" Beka said wiping it away
"heh there you go.."
"I'll probably go fash my face too... I'm sure I have syrup on my face also...
As he spoke, I dipped my fingers in the syrup and drew a line of syrup on his forehead "Now you do!"
"now you've done it, I'm going to draw tiger strips on your face in syrup now!" He said dipping all 10 of his finger in the syrup
"Otabek no! it's gonna get in my hair!" I screeched panicked
"Revenge!" he yelled in reply
I stood in the bathroom as I hear Otabek's bike revved up, as that happened and pulled at my hair, so much of it was covered in syrup because of Beka, Well he also have syrup in his hair, so I guess it's even, great I need a shower, I guess I'll stretch afterward.
