“You? You’d be a professional diver," Yura answered confidently as he discreetly lowered his left foot off the bed, preparing to run.
“Why?” Otabek raised an eyebrow.
“Well, they're not really talkative guys, just like y- ouch! Hey, world champions get killed too!”
Otabek's steel-strong fingers gently closed around his wrist. Yuri was bent in two from laughing and he couldn’t get away, although Otabek wasn’t actually restraining him.
“Let me go, I need the bathroom!” Yura lied.
“No you don't.”
“Fuck being a diver, you should be a teacher, because you're a sadist! You'll be perfect in the role of crushing the dreams of countless children!”
Actually, the idea of Otabek being an educator wasn’t one hundred percent a joke - when Yura was visiting Almaty, his Kazakh nephews wouldn’t let go of Otabek, hanging onto him like a bunch of oysters on a rock. There might have been eight cousins, or twenty-eight - Yura had been unable to count the equally loud and endearing brats.
“What about me?" Yura asked as he finally got free of Otabek's loose grip, and reached for his breakfast plate.
“You’d be an actor," Otabek said very seriously.
"Fuck you!”
Pushing Otabek off the bed turned out to be more challenging than Yura would’ve thought.
“You can go join Giacometti in the fine art of porn! Maybe that way you can at least fuck him to death, his daily posts on Instagram make me sick," Yura swore at the mess on the blanket and began to pick up the pieces of burnt omelet back on his plate. “And why does that fucking disgrace of a job pay so well? Although some would say the ice is a fucking disgrace of a job too…”
Otabek ‘laughed’ - the corner of his mouth twitched almost ever so slightly - and he raised his palms in a peace sign.
“I meant a movie actor, Yur.”
Yura mumbled something inaudible and he frowned in thought before nodding. “Well... I guess I could be.”
“You could be anything.” Otabek ruffled his hair.
“Except for...?” Yura suspiciously looked into his eyes.
“Except for a cook," Otabek smiled fondly and pulled Yura towards him.
