“No, we haven't set a date yet.” Victor says, still smiling. “We both want to really focus on the season ahead before we start planning.” That, and Yuuri still has it in his head that he needs to earn five gold medals before they get married.

“Ahh,” The sponsor chortles. “Probably for the best. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, young man. You’ll want to value all the time you have left before hitching yourself to the ol’ ball and chain!”
 
Victor’s smile freezes on his face. “Excuse me?”
 
or, Misguided Old Dude attempts anti-marriage "bro talk" with Victor, and it goes about as well as you'd expect.
