"Yes," JJ answered honestly. "I think it's cute," he said simply. He liked the nickname a lot, and he wasn't going to stop using it, even if Yuri were to get a too angry and threaten him. "I think he's more harmless than you think, Yuuri." He felt like he gave Yuri's rage a little too much credit. JJ had been the target of it quite a lot over the course of the Grand Prix, and he came out of it unscathed, thus far. He definitely had been the one to upset Yuri more than others, he thought, so he'd expect to be the prime target.

But when Yuuri answered him. He smirked, brows furrowed in a challenge. "I was there, so I know. But I'm the only one who has stood with Viktor on the podium. Everything I put together was designed to beat him." So if he had done well, he was still quite confident he could have exceeded expectations. His burnouts, he felt, were the cause of his being in third.
