[closed for yokunaru] Roommate Bonding
Aug. 19th, 2017 09:59 pmIt had only been a month since Phichit was brought over to the United States by his new coach, the famed Italian skater Celestino Cialdini, and he was adjusting to his new life pretty well. He was fortunate enough to always have a decent grasp of English, especially thanks to his Internet addiction, and while it took a while for him to get used to hearing it everywhere and having to respond in his heavy accent, he felt pretty good about his communication skills. He was doing well in his school classes, and more importantly, his skating was improving rapidly under a much more advanced coach and training regimen.
The only thing that Phichit felt he hadn't done well enough at accomplishing in the last month was forging a relationship with his roommate, the Japanese skater Yuuri Katsuki. When Phichit first found out he was going to be rooming with Yuuri he'd immediately become excited, remembering the few times he'd seen him competing at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships or even Junior Worlds; he'd rushed home and binge watched all of the programs he could find online for Yuuri, and gushed to anyone who would listen about how talented his roommate was. He'd been positive they were going to hit it off, almost to the point of cockiness.
But when they met, Phichit quickly learned that Yuuri was exceedingly shy, and rather than form a quick rapport with one another, it seemed to make Yuuri more comfortable if they each kept a considerable amount of space. They both went to training at the rink together, and ate a lot of meals together since it was convenient, but Phichit did his best to restrain his larger-than-life personality; the last thing he wanted was to make Yuuri uncomfortable or be insensitive to his needs. So, while their relationship was slowly developing, it definitely wasn't the kind of friendship Phichit had been dreaming of -- at least, not yet.
That said, a month had passed; the weather was beginning to get cooler, and Phichit was starting to run low on the personal hygiene items he'd brought with him from home. It was time he went to stock himself up with winter clothes and some other personal effects, and while he loved adventure, he was hesitant to go on his own.
"Hey, Yuuri?" he asked one morning as they ate breakfast in their tiny dorm/apartment setup. "Since we have the day off, I was wondering if you'd wanna come shopping with me?"
