[ He knows he's teasing, and usually, he wouldn't mind it so much. But it doesn't really help, pausing for a second before he takes to the other side of the room to start sorting through some of the clothes he'd pulled out of the closet. It really makes no sense for it to be there, and still, he checks all the pockets and folds each piece of clothing when he doesn't find the ring inside. This goes on until he's neatly put everything away and sits on the edge of the bed. ]
It's not in here... [ It's said with some finality, pressing his hands against his face. Yuuri's doing his best not to cry, but the very real fact his ring is nowhere in the house is becoming more apparent. ] I don't know where it could be. I was wearing it today.
[ Viktor spent his time looking at and under and in all the nooks and crannies of their room, even going so far as to pull off the sheets of the bed carefully (they could use a wash anyway). ]
Maybe it slipped off in the bathroom? When's the last time you remember seeing it?
I, um... [ He goes to twist at the finger his ring would normally be on, stopping himself mid-way when he realizes that nothing's there. ] Before my shower. I took it off, and put it there. [ He points to the nightstand closest to the bathroom, where he distinctly remembers setting it before he dashed into the shower. It's a good thing they don't have the luxury for baths right now, or who knows how long it would have been missing before he'd even noticed. ] I should have kept it on.
[ Because it's not like he takes it off any other time for fear of tarnishing it, and it only makes sense that he's to blame. ]
[ Viktor waves off that shoulda-coulda-woulda, making his way into the hallway to head to the bathroom, his gaze looking downward just in case it rolled. ]
I take mine off sometimes for cleaning too, it's no big deal.
[ He's passing by one of the empty rooms they don't use on the way to the bathroom; Viktor wanted to use them for storage when he started to gather promotional items for them when he was playing hard at Coach slash Manager a few months back, but Yuri yelled at him since new imPorts could be assigned to their house at any moment. He'd left the extra rooms closed to resist temptation to just dump stuff inside so he does a double-take when he finds the door partly open. ]

Ah, did you go in here for any reason?
