DAY 37: MEN'S SHOWERS (4th Shift)

[mazoku-king.livejournal.com]

There had been an awkward air left between him and Tyki after their conversation. Yuuri knew he wasn't the best at explaining much of anything, and for the tenth time he wondered why Murata wasn't here to answer the difficult questions for him. Everyone had been herded out of the cafeteria after that, and Yuuri had simply followed along in confusion as he headed towards the showers.

Yuuri still hadn't seen Wolfram yet and the young Maou was wondering if the blonde Mazoku was alright. Stretching his head up higher, Yuuri attempted to look over the heads of the other patients around him in an attempt to catch sight of Wolfram. Unfortunately, though, he was unsuccessful.

"Where are you, Wolfram?" He muttered to himself while stepping under the shower's spray. Maybe a shower would help clear his mind.

"I.. I s-suppose." Swallowing the lump in his throat, Yuuri eventually managed a feeble nod before his nervous laugh returned with a vengeance. Yuuri had never felt as relieved as he did now when Wolfram finally changed the topic.

Scratching at his chin in thought, Yuuri took a moment to think over the day. What had he heard? He had heard that he sucked at explaining things (he didn't think he was that bad), and... and... Yuuri's shoulder's visually slumped in defeat when it appeared that he hadn't heard anything other than that.

"Ahh sorry, Wolfram," Grinning sheepishly over at the blonde Mazoku, Yuuri muttered. "I haven't heard anything useful today."

Wolfram did something rather un-Wolfram-like.... and smiled at him, just a little. He'd long since finished washing, but the water was warm and he didn't want Yuuri to abandon him just yet.

"You don't have to apologize. I was just wondering. We'll find something useful together soon, right? Maybe even tonight."

The awkwardness Yuuri was feeling moments ago vanished as he caught sight of Wolfram's smile. The gesture easily put him at ease, and he felt himself relax and return the smile with one of his own.

"Ah," Yuuri sounded in agreement as he nodded his head. He still hadn't given up on saving everyone from the institution, but up until now, he'd been so distracted with so many other things that he couldn't focus on what was important. "I have no doubt that we will Wolfram."

Seeing Yuuri relax helped, and Wolfram took another step to close the gap in-between, to the point where they were close to touching. It was an innocent gesture, though, and the next question he asked was hopeful.

"Can I wash your back for you? It might be a while before we can be clean again..."
