     Yurio groans as Otabek lightly shakes him awake.
"Yura, it's time to go.."
Yurio groans louder, but gets up. Viktor pushes up the table and wakes Yuuri, who needless to say is also very tired from staying up. Otabek and Viktor lug down their luggage from the holding compartment along with Yurio and Yuuri's. Yurio drowsily objects, but Otabek just smiles.
"Let me do this for you."
"...fine.."
Otabek, Yurio, Viktor, And Yuuri step off the plane and into the concourse, Yurio dragging his feet. Yuuri too, is dragging his feet when he says,
"Yuri, can I tell Vitya?" He can barely keep his eyes open. Yurio rolls his eyes, a bit more awake now.
"He already knows."
"Oh..."
Yuuri slows his pace down the long airport hallway. Viktor laughs and takes his hand, slowing with him. Yurio shakes his head, staring down at his phone. He glances at Otabek's free hand, then mentally chides himself for wanting it. When the all came to the bigger baggage claim, Otabek slings Yurio's backpack off of his shoulder and offers it to him.
"..thanks." Yurio mumbles as he takes it from Otabek, their hands brushing briefly.
Yurio quickly looks away at the luggage conveyor belt, spotting his leopard-print suitcase. He trudges over to take it, but Otabek holds up his hand for him to stop.
"I've got it."
Yurio looks up at him, confused.
"You know being nice won't sway me to give you your money back, right?"
"I know."
Otabek reaches past him and grabs Yurio's bag, setting it in front of him. He then grabs his own. Yurio grabs the handle of his bag and yanks it up to rolling position, not taking his eyes off of Otabek. Viktor, seeing everything, comes a little closer to Otabek and playfully nudges him.
"Yeah Beka.. why so friendly?"
Otabek rolls his eyes and starts toward the exit. Yurio gives Viktor a 'why?' look, and follows Otabek. Viktor lets out some distance between him and Yurio before grabbing his suitcase and taking Yuuri's hand.
"Ya know something?" Viktor says as Yuuri stares at Yurio, who speeds up to catch Otabek.
"Hm?" Yuuri acknowledges.
Viktor turns to look at Yuuri, still walking.
"They remind me of you. Attempting to hide your true feelings when you first met me."
Viktor laughs.
"That was a long while ago, V." Yuuri blushes.
"Indeed it was."
Otabek and Yurio exit the building. Yuuri gives Viktor a confused look.
"And I'm not just imagining that Itabek feels the same way toward Yuri as Yuri feels toward him...right?"
Viktor laughs as they walk out into the early-morning Kitakyushu air.
"No, Yuuri. You're not."
Yurio watches them approach, Otabek hailing a taxicab.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Yurio asks, almost disgusted.
"Can't we just smile for no reason?" Yuuri asks.
Yurio rolls his eyes and slowly shakes his head.
