Day 39: Sun Room [Fourth Shift]

Yue was all too pleased to leave the cafeteria by the time lunch was over, even if he still wasn't satisfied that Fai was properly taking care of himself. It was clear that Touya hadn't accepted the answers he'd been given and intended to find out just what the guardian wasn't telling him, and being watched so closely was beginning to get uncomfortable.

It was clear that the truth would have to come out at some point, especially if they were going to be spending any amount of time together. Avoiding him was entirely out of the question, but at the same time Yue stubbornly refused to consider the idea of just outright telling him about what had happened in the last week. It was a dilemma indeed, and only served to make him even more irritable than ever.

How could he admit any of it? That he was weak and crippled, betrayed and altered by his creator? That he'd almost broken the promise he'd given in exchange for Touya's power? The latter he couldn't help but be reminded of every time he saw this Touya, who had only just gone through it, and would remember it even more clearly.

Fortunately Yukito was staying silent for the moment, although he could feel his other self's disappointment at being unable to speak to Touya so far, and it didn't make him feel any better.

In the midst of all this Yue was rather dismayed to realize that the nurse wanted to lead him to the music room, of all places: that was the room where he'd met the Sakura-who-wasn't-his-Sakura the week before, and needed neither the reminder nor the inevitable noise in that room. He abruptly halted in his tracks and refused to continue on. The nurse seemed initially disappointed, but finally agreed to let him stay in the Sun Room instead; the guardian found a corner in which to stand, arms folded across his chest and lost in his own brooding thoughts.

Blitzwing so wanted to visit the Music Room (they had a piano in there, or so he was told) but it was necessary that he stay in the Sun Room so as to monitor his message to Lugnut and Scourge. Being the leader was far less fun than he'd suspected; he was either waiting around for the others to show up so he could give them orders, or riding their backs to make sure they followed those orders. But he didn't know why he'd suspected something different in the first place; he'd already known that getting just one mech, namely Lugnut, to do anything he didn't want to do was nearly impossible. But still, Blitzwing was beginning to understand why Megatron always sounded half a cycle away from simply shooting them all...

Deep as his thoughts were, it was only a matter of moments before Blitzwing was suddenly shook out of his pensive mood. There was kitties in the Sun Room! He'd always wanted to hold a kitty; they looked so soft and interesting, and humans made such funny pictures of them on the internet! And now he was the right size to finally do it! Finally, something good had come out of being turned into a human! With a cheerful, nearly childlike laugh, he scooped one up and sat in the nearest chair, petting its fur and cooing over it. The cat seemed at first reluctant to accept his enthusiastic attentions, but it settled down after a moment as Blitzwing calmed himself and began stroking it gently. Yes, it was quite soft...How nice.
