Even though Yuri was technically a guest, Yuri still found it difficult to just watch the other, and sit still. He wanted to help out with dinner- but when he'd offered Otabek had said it wasn't really necessary. So instead, he was trying to keep himself occupied in other ways- by watching the other work, while doing some stretching.

Okay, so maybe hanging upside down off of the other's couch, one leg hooked over the back as he pulled the other down towards his head with his arms wasn't really any traditional stretch, but Yuri liked the feeling. Yuri knew that if he was going to keep his flexibility as he kept growing, he had to make sure to stretch out his muscles as much as possible- keep them used to the feeling of being loose, and limber.

He cocked his head slightly sideways as Otabek addressed him, still gripping his ankle and keeping it close to the side of his head, before letting it go, letting it come to rest with the other over the back of the couch.

"I wouldn't mind a glass of water. And sandwiches are great," he assured the other gently, before shrugging, "Whatever you'd like for dinner- but I wouldn't mind staying in tonight," the admittance was soft, but honest. He'd gotten off the plane and had spent that same night in the club with Otabek. To say he was still hosting a little bit of a sense of jet lag wouldn't be an incorrect assessment. It wasn't that he was tired- not yet, at least, but the idea of staying in, sharing the couch with Otabek and eating takeout out of cardboard cartons sounded just fine to him.

As far as Otabek was concerned, Yuri was a guest in his home. That meant that he wouldn't be doing cooking or any other things around the apartment. He didn't mind doing this at all, and he wasn't bothered being watched. His attention diverted to Yuri for a moment, watching him stretch. Yuri's flexibility was impressive. He gathered things from the fridge for a sandwich (meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato), and the bread.

Before he put it together, though, he'd get Yuri a glass of water. He shuffled, getting a cup from the cabinet, and filling it before heading over to the couch and offering it to his friend.

"Sandwiches. And...ordering in for dinner, then." That was the conclusion he had drawn from Yuri's answer, at least. And he didn't blame him. Personally, he'd prefer to stay in tonight. He could turn on a movie, and they could sit on the couch and be comfortable as they ate. Enjoying each other's company without worrying about others around them was appealing to him in a lot of ways. He liked just sitting with Yuri and talking with him.

He had ideas of what he wanted to do with Yuri when he was here, and most of these things were not time sensitive. None of them were necessary.

"And maybe we can watch a movie, too."

Yuri would see about that as the days progressed. He wasn't going home without making Otabek some pirozhki if he had anything to say about it. And as for the cleaning- well, he'd make sure to clean up after himself, and insist on helping with the dishes whenever they made them. Yuri wasn't some invalid who needed someone to do everything for him, after all. He'd been helping his grandpa with housework for as long as he could remember.

"Yeah?" Yuri smiled at the suggestion of the movie, watching from his perch upside down as Otabek walked over with the glass of water. He reached out to take it- before pausing, and realising that trying to drink it upside down probably wasn't the wisest decision he could make, so with a soft huff he rolled himself sideways, legs flopping down over the end of the couch, before scooting to sit up properly so that he could take the glass from him. "What movie did you have in mind?"

This would be another window into giving him insight about Otabek's likes, and dislikes, and Yuri's heart fluttered in excitement. In the realm of possibility that opened before him from something so simple as the offer of a movie. Yuri didn't watch a lot of movies himself; he didn't have as much time for it as he wanted to. But, he enjoyed them now and again- and he went out of his way to see anything with talking cats.

Otabek wanted his friend to be comfortable in his home. So he'd do whatever he could to ensure that Yuri felt at home in his own home. He knew if these couple of weeks went well, it set a good precedent for future visits, either him going to St. Petersburg or Yuri coming to Almaty. You tended to learn a lot about someone after spending some time living with them, or sharing a space. And up until Yuri's arrival, he hoped that Yuri's perception of him wouldn't change.

Though once he was there, any worries were gone. It felt quite comfortable having him here, even after only a short time - so far.

He considers Yuri's question. He didn't have a particular in mind. He didn't watch many movies himself. His time mostly consumed with either work as a figure skater, which was most of what he did, or his work as a DJ. He seemed to favor easy to watch films, though. Something that he didn't have to pay too hard of attention to. He figured that something like that would be good for them, as well.

Something easy. "There's a couple zombie movies on Netflix I've been meaning to check out. Of course, we can also check Netflix Roulette and see if anything interesting randomly comes up." He didn't have a particular movie in mind, really. He didn't know what sort of movies Yuri liked, either, and he knew that what he liked sometimes weren't for everyone.

He couldn't help but laugh at the other's suggestion, his grin spreading. "Brain eating and lunch? Sound perfect," Yuri grinned, "We can have our own marathon. Relax and have lunch and watch a movie, go out for a quick run or a walk or do some yoga," because they definitely needed to keep at least a little active, even if they didn't go out to do so, "And then dinner and more zombies?"

He finished putting together their sandwiches, and moved back towards the couch, offering one plate to Yuri for his. He was still learning a lot about his friend, so he was cherishing the opportunities. He was going to figure out what the other liked to eat, or what movies he liked. "We'll eat and movie. After the movie we can go on a run and do some yoga." He never went days without at least going on a run. They both worked hard to maintain their bodies for their sport. Otabek wasn't particularly flexible, but yoga helped him to maintain what he had. He was looking forward to seeing Yuri do it, though.

He never would figure Yuri someone who would just want to sit around doing nothing all day. He didn't, either. "Then takeout and more zombies." Sounded like a fun day to him, actually.
