"You flubbed your quad sal, JJ!" Yuri bit out angrily. "You can do that quad in your sleep and you flubbed it!" Yuri was all spitfire and energy, passionately defensive of those he cared about—a small group that JJ had, somehow, inexplicably, found himself to be a part of.

Summary: Here’s the thing Yuri loved about acting: it was a complete escape from reality for him. Onstage, he could be anyone he wanted to be, and the stage was set, unchanging. He lost himself in those moments. He wasn’t the irritable, tiny twenty-two-year-old who pushed people away rather than let them get close to him. He could be a circus performer, or Puck, or even, yes, peppy little Winnie Foster, who was so full of life and wanted to explore outside the walls of her home and was excited about the world.

Yuri scanned over the final cast list and cursed loudly. Wouldn’t it be just his luck to be cast alongside that idiot? He snorted, all too happy to know that JJ would be playing the comic relief for most of the show. Yuri wouldn’t have to act alongside him very much, either, from what he remembered of the script. He looked through the list again, tapping a finger on the name of his love interest. Otabek Altin….now why did that seem familiar? Yuri knew most of the professional actors who worked in the city, and a name like Otabek Altin is uncommon enough that he should remember meeting him.
