Because Yuuri deserves that spotlight. And if Viktor has to fight Yuuri himself to get him there, well, it's a job worth doing. Viktor wants everyone to see what he sees. How bright the shine is. So his heart leaps at the "Yes coach." Giddy and relieved that it isn't so much of a fight any more.

But then that smile... Maybe he doesn't want to share everything about Yuuri with the world...

"You're always in danger of that," he grins. Brushing back Yuuri's hair, just because it's been too long since he's felt it running through his hand. "Hmmmm. If I behave, do I get a treat?"

It wouldn't be Viktor without a push, now would it?
