Yuuri blushes softly as Victor speaks and moves closer, unable to hold the other's gaze as he looks down at their skates. Even with the reassurances he was always going to have that nagging doubt in the back of his mind and he hated it; he wanted it to disappear but it wasn't as easy as just wishing it away.

His fingers curl against Victor's chest as he lets out a breath--a sound that's one part relief and one part him just trying to calm himself down in the moment--before he gives a slight nod.

"Of course I would let you stay," he said softly, finally looking up with a faint smile. "I..it'd be too strange, not having you around. You make things so much..everything's brighter, with you around." He felt stronger; he felt more at ease with Victor, even with the current circumstances. They'd get through it, Yuuri knew they would and they'd come out stronger for it.
