replied to your post “!!! i was going through your yoi tag, and seeing mention of glacial…”

this is all brilliant please tell us more about insecure viktor

viktor is very subtle about it. he puts on three-piece suits and styles his hair and waits until he sees yuuri’s swoon just a little and thinks, “okay, yes, i’m still beautiful to him, good”

viktor wakes yuuri up in the middle of the night (because he has this belief that’s when yuuri will be uninhibitedly candid) to ask, “would you still love me if i weren’t beautiful.” yuuri grumbles and says, “you’ll always be beautiful to me,” which is not the answer viktor wants except yuuri continues, “but yes, even if you lost all your hair and had more wrinkles than yakov i would still love you,” and that appeases him.

viktor tries to sweep his messy personality under a rug made of blasé charm and good cheer so that people won’t see that he’s imperfect and think less of him for it (meanwhile, yuuri lifts the rug up like “can my husband made of expensive lint and empty bottles of hair product please come out”)

viktor talks around the things he wants because he doesn’t want to ask and then not receive it because to him that would be the ultimate proof that people don’t actually care
