Bear the Weight of Well-Tailored Clothes (for davaidavai)
The idea takes a while to come to fruition.
Life moves on in the meantime. The exploration of this thing that's happening between them happens, as most things do, slowly. It's not full-force training season yet, but they're ramping up, getting back in shape, spending time at the rink just working on the basics. Life isn't without it's quiet moments, but it's getting more hectic, and Yuuri has slowly expanded the list of Places in the Apartment That Feel Like Home from the bedroom to include the master bath, and the kitchen, at least, even if he often feels like something of an interloper into the space that he poured over in a magazine in the rest of the house. But it's his toothbrush in the bathroom and his favorite mug in the sink and his side of the bed, and it's good. It's better than good.
So even though he was originally thinking about it as some kind of reward for something in particular, he finds it's a more general thank you, for helping him to settle, on one of their last free days before the real training starts. Viktor's been talking about going clothes shopping for a week now, but hasn't done it yet, so when he suggests that maybe they should go, Yuuri shrugs and agrees to go with him.
Simple. Except that, with the notable exception of Barcelona, Yuuri has never said yes to going shopping for Viktor, except for grocery shopping.

"You've been working so hard and it's only going to get worse," there's no reason to deny it or shy away from it-- both of them are used to hard work and difficult training regimens, after all. He stretches, makes a little contented noise as he settles back down, "You deserved it."
There's a moment of silence where he just let's that sit. There's not been a lot of that kind of play between them, not a lot of punishment or rewards or praise, mostly just because Yuuri is usually ridiculously full of praise for Viktor and there's not much Viktor ever does that really warrants punishment. But the words sit warm and true in the air and Yuuri decides immediately that he likes it. His lips curve into a little smile,
"Though, with all those new clothes... You'll be helping me get dressed for a while. I don't know how to really wear any of that." It's another gift, sort of, sly, but it's also not really a question, either.

Viktor's picked up on that nuance as well. He pushes happily against Yuri's side. Kissing that pretty smile because he can. Already planning out tomorrow's outfit.
And the outfits for the next month.
