Okay. Let’s talk about the head pokes.
The first time this happened, we saw Viktor completely out of breath while Yuuri was still hanging in there, ready to keep going. Yuuri demonstrated here that his stamina is better than Viktor’s.
This was one of the first glimpses Yuuri had of his idol being flawed and demonstrating a weakness. He sees that Viktor is real and human instead of something out of reach and untouchable.
So that’s what Yuuri does. He touches Viktor. *poke poke* It’s like him saying, “Viktor Nikiforov is real. He’s standing right here in front of me, and … he’s just a person like me.”
It’s not meant as an insult. It’s the two of them on their way to seeing each other as equals.
I want to point this out as well. Viktor covers his own head after Yuuri pokes him because it makes him feel insecure. We’ll come back to this in a moment.
Let’s jump ahead to Episode 7.

So I had this dumb headcanon that Viktor wants to do that one tag yourself meme to post in his ig and tries to convince Yuri to be the third wheel friend and well… this happened
