"You call him Kitten?" Yuuri choked around a laugh that escapes him despite his best efforts. "Do you have a death wish or something?"
Though he knew Yuri probably hated it--more than "Yurio"? Who even knew?--Yuuri felt just a smidgen of awe for JJ's sheer daring. Yurio could be grumpy even on his better days, even if he didn't always mean his cutting words. To blatantly provoke someone who would most likely bite back took a lot of daring.
Good person or otherwise that JJ might believe he was, Yuuri was different from before--more centered and just a bit more confident now that he knew he and Viktor were on the same page. He simply raised his brows, not blowing up like Yurio might have, but also not letting JJ's comment pass without challenge. "Before the finals, definitely," he said without even flinching. JJ had soundly snatched gold in both of his qualifiers, there was no point in denying what was fact. "We didn't break Viktor's world records for no reason, though."
