...Okay, I'll stop

Yuuri's POV
You know when I said that I'm a mess? Okay, well now I'm even MORE of a mess because I'm about to go over to Victor's apartment. He freaking LIVES there, and I am going to go there and be in his space and everything! Is this normal? Is it normal to be freaking out this much? I've never gone on a second date, much less a first one, so not only do I not know what to do but I'm also getting a n x i e t y.

Yikes, I'll calm down. I just need... a shower. A nice, warm shower will help. And maybe food. No, not food, I don't need food to solve my problems (but food usually solves my problems)... oh boy, how can one guy do this to me?

~~~

I get out of the shower and put on my nicest pair of Nike leggings (since they're the only type of pants I really have) and a loose t-shirt. If there was ever a fashion designer for workout clothes that are only used for laying around, I would be their number one buyer, hands down.

I check my phone, then the peice of paper Victor gave me with his address. His apartment complex is only a block down from mine - how have we not run into each other before? Geez, I hope our relationship works out otherwise it would be weird being so close to him in all these different places.

My classes ended 2 hours ago but I still had some time to kill. Seeing as I only watch Netflix and workout in my spare time and I just did the former and am about to do the ladder, I decide to just take a couple laps around the block. It's times like these where I wish I still had my dog around, I could bring him with and maybe look less awkward walking in circles. Nevertheless, I head out and get on my way.

When I reach Victor's building, I cross the street so if he were to come out for some reason, he wouldn't see me.

I realize this is a dumb idea though, when I see him through a big picture window that presumably is attached his apartment. He's cleaning the room and I can't help but stop to stare for a few seconds. His shirt is riding up, exposing his lower abdomen as he reaches for something presumably on a shelf above his window. How can he be so fit if he only teaches jazzersize?

Of course it's just my luck that he makes eye contact with me through the glass for a second and I pray that he won't recognize me or that its only my brain thinking that he's looking at me. I try to get moving again in the hopes that if I act natural, nothing will happen. However I can't even take a step before Victor hurriedly scrambles out to his fire escape through a different window, almost falling as his foot catches on the ledge. He calls out to me as soon as he's able to stand, using the railing for help to get up.

"YUURIIIII! DID YOU COME EARLY? COME UP! I'LL BUZZ YOU IN!" He cups his hands around his mouth so he's even louder, making the people around me on the street jump and look to him, then me. Victor sounds absolutely elated and I can't say no or even begin to explain myself before he's running back inside to buzz me in. I cross the street with everyone's eyes on me, and make my way in.

Victor answers the door before I even have time to knock and he's practically bouncing. I smile, not sure what to do with my hands, and almost about to extend one for a handshake, but Victor grasps my shoulders to bring me in for a tight hug. I'm not sure how to react and even if I wanted to hug him back, his arms are pinning mine down to my sides. It's a very nice hug though; Victor is warm and soft.

"I am so glad you came. And you're early so we can actually talk while I keep tidying up!" Victors eyes are gleaming with happiness, what happened to him being (relatively) subdued and passively sassy? I thought he would've burnt off all of his bubbly charisma in his classes. However, I can't say that I don't like it, it's an infectious joy that makes my soul smile... Is that a thing?
