relationship headcanons. | yuri

- if we can't tell, im in love with this man.
- before anything was even official, you and yuri would have a very flirty friendship
- constant backhanded compliments, little pet names (he called you dove while you called him yuri-bird, but definitely with a deeper meaning than the rest of the wolves), slight skinship here and there
- but you both were so, so, so, so clueless
- like, to the point that it actually pissed off everyone in your respective houses
- yuri was the one to confess first after a long talk from balthus:
- "yuri, it seems like you've caught a love bug"
- "call the exterminator"
- but finally, he accepted it and sucked it up, confessing to you while you two shared tea late one night
- balthus found you both curled up on the couches in the abyss library, a tangled mess of arms and legs
- in the relationship, though, it takes a while for yuri to open up
- youre understanding and patient, though, knowing that he has been through a lot
- he really wants to open up, truly, but sometimes words just can't convey what he's trying to say
- so instead he opts to just bring you into his arms, pressing kisses to the top of your head while psyching himself up to reveal at least a little part of him
- funny how your touches could make him so messy and yet so confident at the same time
- despite being very touchy before you were together, you didn't kiss until a little while into the relationship
- you both were absolutely terrified of messing something up
- but finally on another late night picnic, yuri leaned over and kissed you
- it wasn't the best- it was his first kiss- but you loved it all the same
- it was young and free and happy and was just.. yuri
- that night was the night you realized you loved him
- he, on the other hand, had loved you since before he confessed
- he'd definitely deny it though
- on free days, you both can be found either training together or exploring around abyss or the monastery on small dates
- you'd often be out past curfew, hiding in the shadows as yuri would press continuous kisses to your lips to stiffen your giggles
- he didn't want to quiet you, though
- your laugh was music to him
- finally, there was one late night when yuri had snuck into your room
- you laid on your back as yuri wrapped himself around you, his head buried into the crook of your neck
- your hand played with his hair as the other held onto the arm that was slung across your chest
- it was a peaceful silence until yuri's lips began trailing your neck softly
- he led up to your face and moved, hovering over you on the bed
- you began to talk, but yuri silenced you with his kiss, one that was always filled with raw emotion
- he pulled away, both of you breathless, and looked into your eyesall you saw was adoration
- "i love you"
