When Victor starts responding most of it doesn't need an answer.
It isn't like Victor didn't carry his fair share of conversations. More at the beginning than now, but even now sometimes.
When he couldn't get out of his head and it was all just so much harder to hear, or act, or talk though. But the first words there, and even the groan, which nearly surprises a laugh out of Yuuri at the at the surprise and almost ... childishness? .... of, still doesn't really require anything of him, but to keep Victor walking in a straight line. Which works more than it doesn't, even if Victor does try to drift now and then, without seeming to notice he's doing it.
A thing Yuri is correcting for, again, when Victor mentions Celestino taking him away. Which really has to be the newest, oddest, things Victor's said since they left the hot pot restaurant. Surprising him enough he actually repeats, "Celestino?"
He hadn't thought about Celestino wanting him back, but then he hadn't ever considered going back. Not after graduation and it being time to come home. Was he supposed to have thought of that? With Victor here, already filling those shoes? (Also, unasked, but never denied. Yuri'd never once thought about replacing him.) Would Celestino have? He hadn't said anything like that the one time Yuri had called him, in the early months of training in Hasetsu.
But the next thing, even more personally aimed, makes Yuri look at Victor out of the side of his vision. Because that seems even more unlikely. He wasn't sure anyone did, or even could, truly not like Victor.
Except for, unless he meant -- "Because of your taking off the year to coach me? He didn't seem to mind that much at dinner." Enough to have made the same comment he'd made all those years ago. But he hadn't seemed angry, or disingenuous, to Yuri.
