☆Summary:
"Asia sucked without you," Yuri admits eventually after a moment, as he falls backwards onto the bed, his t-shirt riding up. It must be still hot in Saint Petersburg, if the forecast is to be believed, but Yuri has the hood up, obscuring his face at this angle. "But we all went back to the hot spring run by Katsuki's family after the Fukuoka show, so I guess it wasn't that bad."

A story of a relationship, told in photographs and Skype calls.

Chapter 1

[YuriP is online]

After Worlds, he relocates back to Canada with his coach. It's for convenience more than anything else; Olivier has a husband and two children in Montreal that he hasn't seen in a while, after he agreed to follow Otabek to Almaty to let him train back at home for some time, and Otabek doesn't want to change coaches again. He guesses it's his turn to make some sacrifices.

He gets invited to the European part of the Stars on Ice tour—Lausanne, Dresden, Warsaw, Ostrava—but he doesn't go with the show to Asia. Instead, he packs up his apartment and ships all his belongings across the ocean, to the nice, small condo his coach found for him. It's within the walking distance of the rink and reasonably close to the city center.

Montreal is different enough from Toronto that it might be a separate country altogether. Otabek's English is pretty good after living abroad for so long, but he doesn't speak French at all, and even though he spent many years moving from rink to rink, from coach to coach, from country to country, for the first time in a long time, he feels like a complete outsider.

Three days after moving in, he finds out that he shares the floor with a Swiss hockey player who plays for the Montreal Canadiens. As it turns out, the guy is also on a first-name basis with Christophe Giacometti. Switzerland is a small, small country, apparently.

Between him and his cat, it's Masha who takes the relocation better. It's strange; he's been living abroad for such a long time that the change of rinks shouldn't even register, yet here he is, feeling uprooted and unsettled. But Masha makes herself at home right away, shedding on everything in sight and purring in his ear every morning until he gets up to feed her. Nothing new there.

"Isn't it really late in Saint Petersburg?" Otabek asks once they figure out the connection and Skype stops freezing the video and disconnecting them every five seconds.

Otabek is not really one for social media or texting, but after years spent living apart from his family, he's learned not to mind skyping. It's convenient, and it leaves him with his hands free, so he can do stretches while he talks to his little sister or his parents in the evening.

"You called me, remember?" Yuri is sitting on an unmade bed with his legs crossed, holding a half-empty cup of plain yogurt in his lap. When he speaks, he doesn't even bother removing the spoon out of his mouth.

It's the first time he's seen Yuri since Worlds, even though they've kept in touch otherwise. His hair is longer now, reaching almost down to his shoulders, and he looks like his frame has filled out a bit over the past couple of months.
