WHO: Yuuri and anybody who signed up for Zumba! (it's okay to handwave/offscreen that your character signed up!)
WHERE: Dance!!! Studio
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday morning on the 18th
WHAT: ZUMBA!!!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary



The class will start with Yuuri giving a short introduction on Zumba, what the format of the class will be like, and letting everyone briefly introduce themselves (tell us your name and something about you we should know). After that comes the warm-up and then the real fun starts! Music will be playing loud, and everyone will be moving a lot, but that doesn't mean conversations can't happen (it's just not a very smart choice). Also, Yuuri will be demonstrating both low and high impact versions of the same steps so everyone can work at their own pace. If you get tired, it's totally okay to take a break or just stay in place marching! This is a no-judgment zone.

Since this is the first class, the steps will be easy to follow, so everyone can start getting the hang of things little by little.

Overall there will be around 10-12 songs, including both warm-up and cool-down (and alternating with high and low intensity). There'll also be lots of clapping and cheering after every song and at the end of the class.

tl;dr: It's going to be fun, noisy, and high energy. This is meant as a general Zumba mingle, so feel free to have prompts at any point before, during, or even after the class.

[ Enjoy Viktor's apartment!

There's a faint smell of food coming from the kitchen, and it's delicious. The lights are low. ]

Make yourself at home.

[ And actually, for comedic effect, let's assume that Yuuri is already wearing slippers for guests now (they're new) (and probably fit). Viktor is also wearing something comfortable like that. ]

[katsudonfatale]

Thank you...

[ He's still a little breathless due to the shock of suddenly finding himself here, and even though he says that he doesn't move to sit down at all.

He's too busy taking in the elegance and classiness of Viktor's apartment, sorry. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ That's fine, Viktor will take it as a compliment.

And proceed to gently help Yuuri take off his coat, saying nothing so he doesn't distract him. This is probably not the first time he helps Yuuri with his coat, although when he does it it's usually a fake-dating-scenario-for-work thing. Key word being usually. He's probably done it at the studio at some point too, let's be honest. ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ It's natural enough that Yuuri doesn't fight it, but he still doesn't have much of an idea of what to do under the current circumstances. ]

M-Makkachin isn't home?

[ A DOG SURE WOULD HELP HIM RELAX RIGHT NOW. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ Whoops SORRY YUURI. ]

No, he's staying at his dog-sitter's tonight. [ Viktor winks at him, taking Yuuri's coat away. ]

Can I get you something to drink?

[katsudonfatale]

[ WHY DID HE JUST WINK AT HIM?!?!? Even if Yuuri actively doesn't want to think of the implications behind that, his brain is already supplementing in the fact that this is just like when couples have nights to themselves, with no children.

But Makkachin is not their son?!??

Sorry, he's not going to reply again because he's too appalled at the fact that he just thought of Makkachin as their child. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ When he's done hanging Yuuri's coat, he turns around and looks at him, tilting his head slightly, unable to avoid a fond smile. Yuuri looks like he'll snap if Viktor pushes him even a little more. What would happen if Yuuri snapped? Would he run away?

So much for having a relaxed night... ]

Do you miss him that much? Maybe you should be his dog-sitter.

[katsudonfatale]

Ah! N-No! No way! My apartment's too small, anyway! I was just... wondering.

[viktorymaker]

I'm sure he'd like your apartment. He and I are alike in a lot of ways.

What were you wondering about?

[katsudonfatale]

[ Blinks. ]

Um. Wondering if he wasn't home.

[ No comment on the other thing. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ What, his roundabout way of saying he likes your apartment? It's too small for him, of course, but he likes it anyway because it's yours. Spending some time should not be a problem for anyone, Makkachin included. ]

Oh, that? I don't know how tonight will go, so I didn't want to have to walk him early in the morning. It was easier to have him stay the night elsewhere.

[katsudonfatale]

That's some impressive foresight.

[ Because you've probably done the whole "oops time to leave all of a sudden because Makkachin needs early walkies" more than once, let's be honest. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ He sure has. But he can also tell you're being sassy, Yuuri Katsuki. ]

Are you impressed? Maybe I should do it more often.

[katsudonfatale]

If you do it more often it'll stop being impressive.

[ Can you tell he's feeling more comfortable now? Because he is. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ He's not thinking about it. ]

. . . Right, right.

[ That's when he turns around and walks up to the cabinet where he keeps his alcohol. ]

Yuuri, come tell me what you'd like to drink. I'll choose for you if you don't say something.

[katsudonfatale]

The usual is fine...

[ But he's coming to see what he has anyway. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ I think it's safe to handwave the list and say that he has a bottle of most standard drinks (expensive brands tho), plus some fancy liquor bottles! Go wild with your choices. He's taking a wine bottle and opening it. ]

Oh, we're having chicken and pasta, by the way. You did say you'd like to try [FANCY RESTAURANT NAME] at some point, so I thought this might be a good time.

[ Yes. He bought take-out. ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ If Viktor is taking the wine then Yuuri's going to drink wine. At this point he knows enough about what kind of food goes best with what to understand his choice. ]

Oh... That was a while back.

[viktorymaker]

[ He smiles easily, taking two glasses but looking at Yuuri for approval before pouring. ]

It was.

[katsudonfatale]

[ Nods. ]

We could have just gone there instead...

[ To save you all this trouble... ]

[viktorymaker]

[ Viktor stays silent for a moment as he pours the wine. Then he takes a wine stopper from the cabinet, putting it to work. ]

Would you have preferred that?

[katsudonfatale]

Ah—no, this is fine too! [ Waves his hands. ] I just thought it would have been less work for you...

[viktorymaker]

Yuuri, this is no work at all. I'm just keeping the food warm and pouring some wine.

[ Speaking of which, he hands Yuuri his glass. ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ Takes it. ]

But there'll be dishes and cleaning to do afterwards!

[ A beat. ]

I'll help.

[viktorymaker]

[ It's time to sit, feel free to take a chair and join him at the table. ]

OK! You're welcome to drop by tomorrow to help me clean if you don't spend the night.
