Can we talk abut how vulnerable Victor is in this episode?
First we his understandably vulnerable look when he leaves. He’s worried about Maccachin and worried about Yuri.
but he just looks so damn in pain.
But then at the end when he sees Yuri and starts running to meet him…he looks so so vulnerable still.
I think here he desperately missed and needed Yuri with him but also he’s not sure if going back was the right thing and needs reassurance that he didn’t fail Yuri.
that movement looks like a question of “Please? I need you by my side and missed you” it’s a sweet painful open move and expression.
Some else pointed out that this is Yuri’s left hand he’s kissing but on further expression the way Yuri’s hand is being held Victor kissed Yuri’s left ring finger
Right after he does that we have this:
he looks happy but also really open and tentative. Like he’s afraid of being hurt or rejected when he says he hopes Yuri never retires his voice is quiet and there’s a catch in it. It’s happy but emotional. In fact his voice throughout this exchange is soft, and full of that special almost pain that comes from reuniting with someone you love more than you feel you should.
Victor are ever confident playboy is very sensitive and not so much on edge but desperate for Yuri to give him affection but so is Yuri for Victor. I love this moment so much because they are both so vulnerable and opening up to each other on a deeper intimate level…and just so so in love.
Bonus he still looks like he’s displaying that loving vulnerability in the next episode too:
