( finn beams and pulls the floral rotary phone on the table closer to it, rolling to 1 to call the kitchens. ) Hullo, hi. Hi, yes it's Finn. Can you bring my favorite tea up to Yuri's quarters? ( after some talk from the kitchen staff his voice drops to a whisper. ) The creme brulee oolong. Yes. Thank you!
( he sets the phone down and smiles at yuri, beckoning him to come to the window as well. pulling the corded rope to lift the drapes slightly, he points to the lush gardens below. )
Apparently, a love of flowers runs in the family. We have the best view from the gardens from our rooms.
[ an eyebrow lifts at the conversation and yuri's lips twitch just a little bit in amusement before he makes his way over to the little setup by the window. he's halfway to sitting down when he pauses, hand on the back of the chair and body in a half-crouch to stare out of the window.
his mouth drops and his eyes widen and he stands up again so that he can lean in to peer closer at the gardens beneath his window. ]
Oh. It's stunning.
[ yuri slowly sinks into the chair, eyes still out of the window, and he lets out a breath. ]
Half of the staff must be made up of gardeners.
[ he laughs and looks back to finn again, the corners of his eyes crinkling. ]
Speaking of the staff, is there... always someone in the kitchen? I mean overnight, too. I have trouble sleeping sometimes and find that a midnight snack can often ease me into it. If not, I'm fine going and getting it myself, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Not late at night, but I always want something sweet. I'll go with you if you wanted. ( he makes the offer openly, without hesitation. if anything, he at least wants to make yuri feel welcome, complicated feelings about the arrangement aside.
is isn't long before there is a knock at the door and an announcement that the tea service has arrived. it seems someone anticipated that they would want an afternoon snack. finn beams and calls for them to let themselves in. the staff roll a cart into the room, the tea already fragrant though still in the steeping process. arranged on a silver tray are a collection of pastries and tea sandwiches set upon doilies. )
Oh, that was so fast!
( the server chuckles, mentioning his mother. of course. he leans forward in the chair as they pour the tea for them, nudging the sugar and milk into view. )
[ yuri takes a small amount of time just letting his gaze move between finn and the view outside, trying to figure out which one inspires more awe inside of him. he hates that he can already feel himself falling; he wanted to resist longer, wanted to put up something of a fight against this whole arrangement.
damn him.
his head turns toward the door at the knock and he sits up a little straighter, tucking a bit of stray hair behind his ear as the cart gets wheeled in. the scent is... nice, sweet, and yuri's suddenly curious about how much sugar finn's going to put into his cup. probably more than he anticipates.
yuri nods his head in thanks to the server before they turn and exit the room, leaving behind the treat-laden tray and the steaming cups. he adds just a bit of milk to his own and stirs it in silence before setting the spoon down and leaning back, giving the tea a chance to cool. ]
Tell me something fun about yourself, Finn. Something... something only a close friend would know.
( there's a door between their suites as well in hopes that they would spend their time in finn's but giving yuri the opportunity to retreat and have a space of his own. the arrangement isn't ideal for either of them, but at least the family has seen to making yuri as comfortable as they possibly can.
he drops just one sugar heart into yuri's tea... and three into his own cup, looking up briefly with a light laugh. he knows what kind of guy he is. )
It's best like this. With the creme brulee and everything.
( at his question, finn leans back and holds the cup between both his hands, appearing much smaller than he truly is. he purses his lips thoughtfully, forming a little bud with them as he hums. taking a sip first, he finally responds, ) Well, I like learning about flowers. I guess that runs on both sides of the family! I like baking - well, I'm learning how to bake. And I like really long walks outside, maybe listening to music while I do it.
[ there's an amused spark in yuri's eye as he stirs the tea once more to help the sugar cube dissolve. he lifts the cup to take a sip and-- ok, yes, it's definitely good like that. yuri thinks he would have still enjoyed it without the extra sweetness, but there's something to the sugar that helps settle him.
maybe it's a bonding thing. who knows.
he pulls over one of the little sandwiches for himself and lifts it to take a nibble as finn talks, lips still curled upward in a smile. the flowers thing isn't all that surprising, but that finn is actively taking an interest in baking is. instead of just enjoying sweets, he wants to make them, too...
yuri hums and tilts his head back, smiling up at the ceiling for a moment. ]
I like dancing. I know all of the proper festivity dances, of course, but... in private, I like to move how I want, however the music is telling me to.
[ when he brings his head back down to look over at finn there's a mischievous glint to his eye. ]
Maybe in ways that aren't... wholly appropriate for public consumption.
( he closes his eyes to savor the tea, humming happily and licking his lips like a little kid might. he is extra pleased that yuri seems to enjoy the tea as well, feeling closer to him already.
with that boost of confidence, he leans forward to take a pistachio macaron from the tray, taking a little nibble before popping the whole thing into his mouth. )
Oh? ( he doesn't fully process it, but yuri's tone makes him blush all the way down his neck. )
Are - were you taking lessons or something? We can definitely arrange for more here!
[ he's so... cute. he's so cute? isn't yuri supposed to be the stereotyped cute one here??
yuri nods at the question, tearing off a piece of the sandwich before popping it in his mouth. ]
I was taking lessons for a while, though I stopped when. ...Well, when everything happened. Starting them up again would be fun. Maybe you could join me?
[ yuri's head tilts as he smiles. ]
I'll need to get used to my dancing partner sooner or later, after all. And then we could treat ourselves with a dessert after.
( but he hasn't said no yet! just ... maybe. it could be a nice bonding activity. even if yuri will clearly be levels ahead of him.
wait, wasn't he dreading this a second ago? )
I'd be a good audience for you! ( oh, finn. he pops a bite of a jellyroll into his mouth and puffs his cheeks out as he eats ) Mm! You gotta try some of that one. Want a piece of mine?
I'll help you find the right one somewhere along the way.
[ look at them, making plans for things to do together. maybe... maybe this won't be so bad. maybe yuri will actually find himself looking forward to it. he's already been looking forward to maybe holding that large hand so...
his eyebrows lift just a little and he pauses for a second, thinking. maybe too hard. but then all thought of holding himself dissipates and yuri leans forward across the table with a smile before opening his mouth with an expectant little aaaah. ]
( mmaybe this won't be so bad. if they're locked into this deal - and finn certainly won't try to put anyone's family at risk, even if he hadn't been thrilled about being plucked out of obscurity.
yuri seems sweet and he seems interested in getting to know finn. he doesn't think his hobbies are silly and they're already talking about engaging in each other's interests. that's not a bad start at all.
he cuts a small piece of his slice of jellyroll and offers it to yuri without thinking much of it, holding it up to his lips for him to taste. )
[ oh he's actually doing it. yuri would have been just as fine if finn had simply sliced a piece off and put it onto his little plate in front of him but-- ok. ok!
yuri leans in and takes the bite of jellyroll before he settles back against his seat again, his eyebrows lifting as he chews. he makes a happy noise and nods with a thumbs up before swallowing, covering his mouth as he grins. ]
Delicious! There's really a fantastic team working here.
[ he smiles and tilts his head just a bit. ]
Though, I wonder if certain present parties aren't what inspired the hiring of a particularly talented patissier.
( finn blinks a few times before breaking out into a shy smile. ) Oh. Oh, n-no, I don't think so. I don't even think my mom really knew how much I liked sweets until I came here, but now all the staff do.
( it isn't that he doesn't want a relationship with his mom. it's just difficult for him to accept certain olive branches right now, very skittish around the attempts. he will, at least, accept her offers of cakes and such. )
We'll have to make sure we have all our favorites for the celebration, ( finn declares, ready to make a mental list of everything yuri likes. )
[ yuri can't say for certain, obviously; he doesn't know the kind of relationship finn has with his parents. but he also wouldn't be surprised if his mom wasn't completely aware about finn's preferences for sweets.
he nods, though, smiling as he taps a finger against the tabletop. ]
I'll have to start coming up with a list.
[ he laughs and lifts his tea to finish off his glass before lightly dabbing his mouth with a napkin. ]
( finn, who had been enjoying his second cup of tea, takes a big gulp to finish it off. he licks his lips with a smile. the staff already know to save the leftovers for finn ( and possibly yuri ) to find for a midnight snack.
he politely sets his napkin on the table and brushes his hands off over his plate before getting to his feet. it was his intention to move to yuri's side with confidence but he ended up tripping over his foot, stumbling without falling flat on his face. coughing lightly, he holds his hand out. )
Let's go? We can start in this wing and work our way around until we're at the gardens!
[ oh. oh, no. well, yuri's already decided that this whole getting married to finn thing is going to actually be just fine. he doesn't think he'll have to pretend to be interested in his husband because he's relatively certain he's going to be absolutely enamored by everything this man says or does.
he lifts a hand to hide his smile, though the way his eyes crinkle as he does gives it away anyway. yuri pulls it away from his face and places his hand into finn's instead and uses the hold to pull himself up, not letting go once he's standing. ]
A walk through the gardens.
[ and then he's leaning in a little, pressing lightly against finn's side as he directs them toward the door. ]
W-well, if you want it to be, ( finn stammers, blushing at both tripping in front of his fiance and the prospect of actual romance between them. he hasn't had a single expectation for this partnership other than merely working together for the sake of family strength or... something.
honestly, he would've been happy to get on with the ceremony, do his one duty to his mother, let his spouse do whatever they wanted while he returned home for most of the year to spend it quietly with his father.
given how they seem to be hitting it off, perhaps finn should look into preparing quarters for his dad as well to hopefully find some kind of compromise.
finn gives a spirited tour of the place, a few attendants trailing behind them. he shows yuri the passage to the kitchen ( important ), some of the meeting rooms ( less important ), and where they will have dinner later. the attendants station themselves at the door to leave finn and yuri to their own devices once they reach the gardens. it's lush and gives the impression of wildness while being meticulously maintained. )
[ yuri does his absolute best to remember where everything is; or, at the very least, to remember where everything he'll really need is, like that passage to the kitchen. he keeps his arm looped with finn's the entire time, maybe a little worried about his scent eking out around his patches as they go along. if finn were an alpha, he'd be more concerned about it.
as it is, he's just... happy. to be spending his time, really. finn's a better person than yuri thinks he deserves, if he's being honest, and he hasn't even known him that long.
he takes in a deep breath when they step outside into the garden and he closes his eyes, tilting his head back to enjoy the sunlight and the breeze. ]
( the reluctance he felt walking into this has faded considerably considering how much he has already come to like yuri already. if there is truly no way out of this, at least he will come to care about his future spouse. at least they won't make each other miserable. they might even make each other happy in the long run.
finn's eyes light up when he watches yuri enter the garden. )
Doesn't it? The peonies are in bloom right now. ( he gestures to the soft pink flowers to the left. the blooming season isn't going to last that long but it seems like they will be around for their actual wedding. )
We have plenty of time before we have dinner so we can spend the rest of it here!
[ yuri gives finn's hand a little squeeze before he pulls away from him to move closer toward the mentioned flowers, smiling more than a little as he leans in to look at them. he turns back toward finn and tilts his head to put it closer to the nearest bud and giggles. ]
It looks like I'm in bloom, too.
[ he turns back toward the flowers again, his head tilting as he reaches up toward the blossom. he doesn't touch it (he's heard that's bad for the flowers), but he does hold his hand near it. ]
You fit in perfectly out here, ( he decides, letting his gaze openly linger on yuri this time to appreciate him next to the peonies instead of shyly redirecting it. ) I'll mention the bouquet to my mother.
( after a moment, he turns a corner and gestures for yuri to follow him. hidden away is a floral archway covered in climbing vines leading to a rustic bird bath. he smiles and actually skips towards it. )
I found this my first day here! I really like come out here and just ... sitting.
[ yuri can feel finn's gaze linger and maybe he straightens his back out a little, stands a bit taller, tucks some hair behind his ear. it feels nice to be looked at so... politely.
which is a weird thing to think but here he is.
he follows after finn, a smile breaking out across his face as he watches a completely grown man skip toward a bird bath. he's so cute. ]
Cute.
[ ok maybe he couldn't help saying it out loud.
yuri stops at the archway and reaches out to lightly run his fingers along one of the vines, his eyes going up to look at the arch going over his head. maybe... well, this wouldn't be such a bad place to take their vows, would it? might not have enough space...
they could take their own vows here. privately.
yuri you're getting ahead of yourself. ]
I've never been one to just go outside much but... maybe being around you can convince me.
Well, I wouldn't try to force you to do anything but -
( finn blushes lightly, ducking his head. he hadn't really imagined anything past the actual wedding. if he's lucky, maybe they might be able to develop a nice friendship. )
If we're gonna be married, it'd be nice to spend a little time together out here. Whenever you wanted.
( he takes a seat on the elaborately carved bench positioned across the arch, gesturing for yuri to come see. ) Look at the view from here. It's perfect!
[ yuri takes one last look up at the archway before he finally moves over to join finn on the bench, crossing his legs as he settles in. he looks now in front of them and his breath catches in his throat. ]
Oh, Finn. It's beautiful.
[ he slides a hand down finn's forearm so that he can take hold of his hand, lacing their fingers together as his eyes sweep across all of the flowers and beautiful hedges. ]
I think I like this spot.
[ he says it softly, as though if he says it any louder he'll break whatever quiet spell has settled over him.
( finn doesn't give much weight to yuri taking his hand so much, even if it's more intimate than the typical escorting etiquette. he is rather moved by yuri taking the time to really appreciate something finn has come to take comfort in during his short time living here. )
It's been kinda hard. I didn't grow up here - I was with my dad and he raised me and I didn't know who my mom was for years. And suddenly, I'm needed because she needs help and - ( finn exhales, shaking his head. )
Being here reminds me of all the plants we have in our apartment, so I hope it'll make you feel better sometimes, too.
