It takes several attempts for Otabek to successfully ask Yuri Plisetsky out.
The first time, Yuri thinks he's joking.
"Yeah, right, good one, Beka. You almost had me there. Hey, do you have any suggestions for my free skate music yet?"
The second time, Yuri thinks he's asking out Mila.
"I didn't even realise you liked her."
"I do-"
"Guess people are full of surprises, huh?"
The third time, Yuri doesn't hear him because he's got his headphones on.
The fourth, Yuri stares at him with a confused expression on his face before he eventually blurts out a "Fuck no."
The fifth, Yuri laughs awkwardly and asks if Otabek's being serious.
"Of course not!" Otabek replies with a nervous laugh. "Me and you? Going out? Completely ridiculous! Stupidest thing I've ever heard!"
Otabek leaves it for a while. Then, in the park in Barcelona that started it all, he asks again and there's no confusion about what he's talking about.
And Yuri?
He says yes.
