[ When you almost die and wake up with casts on your legs and worried friends and family, it kind of takes a lot out of you.

He knows someone must have healed him or he'd be dead, but he doesn't even remember who. He doesn't remember much after he and Sanji and Yusuke made their way into that tower... it's all a haze in his memories.

Waking up one morning he almost expects to still be there, in the heat ... but the only heat is his boyfriend's body curled up against his own, and he blinks against the early morning light. That's right, he's home ...

Home, with Yosuke who hasn't left his side for a moment.

For a long time Yu simply lies there in silence, experimentally curling and uncurling his toes and not thinking about much at all. Yosuke might find himself waking up to stray kisses pressed idly to his hair. ]

[ Yu getting hurt was the last thing he wanted, but it still happened. There's no small amount of guilt saddled up in it given it was Yosuke who told Yu to go in the first place. But he keeps that close to his heart for now, instead just...trying to offer what support he can, even though it doesn't feel like much.

Selfishly, he's glad to have Yu back.

Recolle doesn't feel much like home without him in it, it seems.

His own sleep is difficult to find at times, but his presence makes a difference. The light pressure at the crown of his head is nice and comforting. He accepts it for a while before Yosuke tells himself that it's his job to comfort Yu, not the other way around. So he opens his eyes slowly, then tilts his head upwards to greet the other boy. ]

G'morning.

Morning.

[ He'll press a kiss to Yosuke's nose, smiling. ]

I missed this, [ he murmurs, tugging Yosuke close. He shifts his hips, and sighs that he can't make his legs follow. ] Did you sleep well?

[ Yosuke snuggles right on closer, if that's even possible, plastering himself to Yu's side. He wraps an arm around the other boy's stomach, resting his chin on Yu's shoulder. ]

Better with you here.

[ A soft sigh through his nose. ]

An' probably better than you with your franken feet... how does it feel?

[ Yu sighs quietly and rubs a hand up and down Yosuke's back. ]

Me too.

[ A pause, and he looks down at his legs, uncovered by blankets, big socks rolled over his casts keeping his toes warm. ]

Strange, [ he answers after a moment. ] ... itchy.

[ Yosuke looks down along the line of Yu's body to the casts. He...he doesn't like looking at them. The fact that Yu is bedridden because of them doesn't sit well. And sitting is really all Yu can do right now. ]

Do you want me to, uh...itch you?

[ Yeah there's no way that doesn't sound weird. ]

[ Startled, Yu barks a sudden, if still breathy, laugh. ]

No, I... it's-- [ he gestures, smiling. ] Inside the casts. It's fine, Yosuke.

[ That definitely sounded weird. Yep. Yosuke looks appropriately awkward as he clears his throat. ]

I know! It's--...you just have to sit there all...achy and itchy all day.

Mm, it's not so bad. I have a pretty cute nurse.

[ Yosuke puffs up a little at that. ]

You're such a dork.

[ But it will earn Yu a small squeeze of his torso and a soft kiss on the cheek. ]

Can he get you anything?

[ Yu sighs and tilts his face to nuzzle Yosuke. ]

Having you here is enough.

[ He falls quiet for a moment, thinking. ]

Yosuke... I know we didn't have much time to discuss it before, but...

[ another pause. somewhat carefully: ]

Are you alright?

[ There's a pause. A long pause. And then Yosuke tries to grin through it. ]

...Dude, you're the one with the broken legs and you're asking me?

[ But he knows what Yu is talking about and owes him an honest answer. ]

...I'm...okay? Staying with Naoto helped. it's been weird going to work and school. Acting like nothing's changed.

[ It's probably safe for Yu to guess he hasn't spoken to his parents since that day. Though it's also understandable he wouldn't want to distract Yu with it while Yu was on his trip, he also would have said something now that Yu is back.

A small sigh as he rests his chin on Yu's shoulder again. ]

I'm just glad you're back...

[ Yu does not answer Yosuke's smile with one of his own. Instead he just waits, a little concerned, as his hand slowly rubs Yosuke's back. He'll sigh through his nose, tilting his chin up to press a kiss to Yosuke's forehead. ]

I'm glad you had each other.

[ He'll shift a little, trying to see Yosuke's face better. ]

From now on, you'll stay here, won't you?

Yeah. She's pretty cool.

[ He's definitely thankful for that. Souji was gone too and honestly, Yosuke doesn't know Tatsuma and Shin all that well. It would've felt weird being in the house that Yu is supposed to be in without Yu, too. At least he and Naoto have a shared history and he got to know her a lot better. It was for the best.

A small but genuine smile breaks. He reaches up to smooth a hand down the side of Yu's head, gently stroking his hair. ]

...Yeah. If you really want me to.

Of course I do.

[ The way he smiles is a little shy. ]

... maybe it's a little early in the relationship to be moving in together, but considering the circumstances ...

[ a beat, and: ]

Plus, it's pretty much what we were already doing.

...Yeah. It was, huh?

[ He gives an amused huff. ]

It's kinda weird, when you think about it. We went from random study sessions to me staying at your place half the week. How'd that happen?

[ amused: ]

Well, we started cuddling all the time, and it just seemed nicer for you to stay in bed with me than have to trudge home... though, I know that truthfully you're only here for Manzoku-san.

[ Cuddling Yu is arguably one of his favorite pastimes. Yu is just so cuddable. But at the mention of the cat... ]

Gah! I knew something was off. I haven’t seen that cat all night...

[ He’s got to be up to something. ]

That’s not good.

What makes you say that? Manzoku-san is probably preparing a surprise to welcome us back.

[ INNOCENTLY ]

That’s not comforting at all!!

[ That cat cannot be trusted! ]

You sure you want me here? I don’t know if there’s enough room for you and me and your thirty-pound cat.

[ All at once he'll kiss Yosuke full on the mouth, sighing out slowly through his nose.

After he pulls back: ]

You're right. You'll have to ask his permission to stay.

[ Yosuke almost jumps, but quickly recovers and closes his eyes. He’d be happy to keep kissing...

Then Yu has to go and say that. ]

...Ugh, really? Welp, then I’m screwed.

If you ask nicely he might let you stay.

[ Nuzzles in close, their lips barely brushing as Yu smiles.

... and then he'll pause and shift. ]

... actually, can you help me up?

[ Don't tease him... ]

Oh, yeah--

[ Yosuke pulls away and sits up. ]

Do you want to sit up or off the bed entirely?

[ Yu pushes himself up on his hands. He can do most of the work of sitting up by himself, though it takes him longer than it would if he had help. ]

Out of bed. [ A beat. His expression doesn't change, but his jaw works, a little. ]

Can you help me to the bathroom?

[ It's subtle, but he can't entirely hide that it feels shameful and embarrassing to need so much help. ]
