He didn’t know why he was so embarrassed about it.
He was a hypocrite really.
When Victor first found out about Yuuri’s ASMR watching habits, his biggest priority was ensuring that Yuuri never felt ashamed about watching it. That was even more true when he discovered Yuuri’s particular appreciation for the Russian language.
Yet here he was, tossing and turning beside his lover, as sleep alluded him yet another night. His issue was simple: he didn’t know how to tell Yuuri that he really really really liked it when he whispered in Japanese.
He himself never watched much ASMR (expect when improving his skills for Yuuri), as he never really had a need to. Thanks to Yakov, he had had a great sleep schedule growing up, so falling asleep quickly was never a challenge.
Until now, of course.
He glanced over at his lover, biting his lip nervously. Surely he wouldn’t judge him, right? It wasn’t like Yuuri hadn’t done it for him before. He had once, when Victor was incredibly tired, but in fairness Victor was only awake for an unimpressive 6 minutes, so he really didn’t remember much from the experience.
He rolled over in bed, his face inches from his fiancé’s. Yuuri had always described himself as an ugly sleeper… and Victor couldn’t disagree more.
Face smooshed in the pillow, his cheeks were lightly flushed, eyebrows furrowed slightly as he dreamed, a line of drool making its way down his chin, dangerously close to dripping onto their bedsheets. His mouth was slightly agape, gentle snores escaping him as his lips twitched, every now and then murmuring meaningless Japanese gibberish in his sleep. Resting on his side, his legs were splayed out, arms bent unnaturally as the duvet rested just below his hips.
Victor felt his heart skip a beat, a wobbly smile taking over his face as he pulled the covers back over Yuuri’s body.
How did I get so lucky…?
He reached out, gently wiping the trail of drool with his thumb, before carefully lifting his chin with his fingertips so his mouth would close.
He’s so adorable…
Pushing his hair off of his forehead, he leant forward to press a tender kiss to the now exposed skin, breathing in the scent of Yuuri’s shampoo with a content sigh. As he pulled back to admire his lover even more, he froze.
Yuuri was awake, although seemingly still half asleep, slowly blinking his eyes open. Victor smiled bashfully, hand back on his face, his thumb stroking lazy circles onto his cheek and he gradually gained his bearings.
“ Mmm Vitya , what time s’it?”
His voice was rough with sleep, a small pout on his face at the notion of getting up. Victor chuckled fondly at the sight, pulling him closer to envelop him in his arms.
“I’m sorry my love, did I wake you? It’s still the middle of the night, you don’t have to worry about getting up just yet…”
He began to press a flurry of kisses into his hair, humming happily when he felt Yuuri reciprocate by lovingly peppering his neck. That combined with the tickle from Yuuri’s hair under his chin made him giggle.
“Yura~ that tickles!” He ran slender fingers up and down Yuuri’s bare back, keeping his touch feather light, adoring the way his lover shivers at the sensation. “ Shh, that’s it malysh, just relax for me…” He whispered encouragingly into his hair, feeling slightly guilty for waking him in the first place.
After a moment, Yuuri shook himself awake, peeling himself away from Victor and forcing his eyes open to meet his gaze. Confused, Victor paused his movements.
“Yuuri? What are you-“
“Why are you awake?”
The question caught him off guard. Chuckling nervously, he avoided his gaze, instead focusing on smoothing out the covers that had become slightly disheveled from the couple’s movements.
“No reason, I just couldn’t sleep”
Yuuri narrowed his eyes in suspicion, seeming much more awake than he was a few moments ago.
“Vitya, unless there’s a storm you never struggle to sleep, and you were restless last night too. Is there something wrong?”
Victor cursed mentally. He had forgotten that Yuuri could read him like a book. Taking a shaky breath, he decided it was now or never.
“Actually, can I talk to you about something?”
Yuuri’s eyes widened in surprise, before he quickly did his best to disguise it, sitting up to turn on the bedside light.
“Of course, c’mere…”
He leant back against the pillows, opening his arm, gently beckoning Victor to rest on his chest.
Reluctantly Victor caved, melting into his lover’s embrace, hidden anxiety swirling in his mind. Before he could put his muddled thoughts into words, Yuuri began to carefully scratch his fingernails against his bare skin, sending a tingling sensation up Victor’s spine. His back arched subconsciously at the feeling, causing Yuuri to smirk.
Truth be told, Yuuri already had an inkling as to what might be going on. His suspicions arose a few nights ago, when he had just finished watching Yuuko’s anime recommendation, speedily calling her up to discuss the show, speaking in hushed Japanese whispers as to not disturb his fiancé. When he glanced over mid call to ensure he was still asleep, he caught Victor’s eyelids fluttering, shivers of pleasure passing over his skin and he let out a relaxed sigh.
He hadn’t mentioned anything at the time, instead smiling lovingly down at him and continuing his whispers long after the call had ended, tapping on the back of his phone case for extra stimulation, until Victor was completely asleep.
Shaking the memory from his mind, he focused his attention back on the present, where Victor was desperately trying to suppress the satisfaction he was feeling, stiff by his side.
Well, that won’t do at all…
Determined, Yuuri continued the action with his fingertips, leaning closer to his lover, lips almost brushing the shell of his ear. “Shhh, that’s it Vitya, just relax for me…”
A soft whine ripped from his throat, a mix of confusion and broken pleasure, as Victor eventually slumped more into Yuuri’s side.
“ Oh that’s perfect, Vitya, so perfect for me . Could you close your eyes for me darling?”
Victor opened his mouth to speak, however all words were lost when Yuuri began to gently flutter his fingers next to his ear, his other hand now tracing patterns across his shoulder.
“Oh, Yuuri~”
A soft giggle escaped Yuuri as he continued his ministrations, fondly shaking his head in exasperation.
“ Vitya …why didn’t you tell me you liked ASMR?”
Victor felt his cheeks heat up. He couldn’t think of a single good reason.
“I was a little embarrassed…and I wasn’t sure whether you’d want to do it for me”
Yuuri tutted his tongue, the noise causing the tingling sensation to spread from Victor’s spine to his entire body, making the hairs on his arms stand up.
“Why would you think that? I love that I can make you feel this good~” Victor suppressed another groan, albeit with great difficulty. He loved it when Yuuri was confident like this. “Tell me Vitya, was there any triggers you like in particular?”
Victor let out a shaky breath, nerves suddenly flooding back. After a brief pause, he answered.
“No…not that I know of”
Mentally, Yuuri shook his head. Lying through our teeth, are we Victor?
“ああ、そうですか” ( ah, is that so?)
The reaction was instant, a soft gasp of surprise and pleasure leaving Victor as tingles ran up his spine, his head falling to the side to rest on Yuuri’s chest. He was blushing now, no doubt about it. Luckily for him, Yuuri himself was just as flustered, overwhelmed by his fiancé’s reaction.
Eventually Victor spoke, his voice pitched and shaky.
“H-How did…when did you…what gave it away-?”
Yuuri just smiled, pressing a loving kiss to his forehead.
“Subtlety has never been your strongest suit, Vitya” Victor pouted at this. “Yuuriii~ What are you talking about? I’m very mysterious!” This caused Yuuri to laugh, breaking the quiet atmosphere they had built up.
“The first time I met you in Japan you were completely naked!”
“I was in the hot springs! Why would I be wearing clothes?”
“You could have stayed in the water! Instead you stood up so I could see everything, and you winked at me!”
That shut Victor up, pout increasing, before it dissolved into a playful smirk. “Are you saying you wish I’d kept myself hidden in the water? Because from what I remember you seemed to rather enjoy the view~”
Victor’s grin widened as Yuuri blushed, sharply turning his head to avoid Victor’s gaze. Victor was having none of it, quickly wrapping his arms around him and pulling him down onto the bed, rolling onto his back so Yuuri would be on top, peppering his face with an onslaught of kisses.
“Ah! Victor~! Stop!”
Victor didn’t relent, hands now moving to tickle his sides. Laughter bubbled from Yuuri, tugging at Victor’s heartstrings. “ Ah! Vitya -! Hahaha, stoppp!” He slowed his fingers, allowing Yuuri to catch his breath.
With his guard down, Yuuri sprung into action, flipping them both over so Victor was on his back, Yuuri straddling his waist. Yuuri smirked, the image of Eros, leaning closer to brush his lips against his neck, whispering hotly in his ear.
“目を閉じて私の言う通りにしてください、ヴィティア” ( Close your eyes and do as I say, Vitya)
Victor let out a breathy groan, the thought of taking his eyes off of Yuuri unimaginable. Yuuri’s gaze softened, as if he could read his mind, instead settling on top of him, whispering sweet Japanese nothings into his ear whilst Victor played with his hair in response.
“愛してます Vitya” (I love you, Vitya)
Victor finally let his eyes flutter shut, a soft smile taking over his face as he wrapped his arms around Yuuri, impossibly tighter.
“Я тоже тебя люблю, Юрий” (I love you too, Yuuri)
