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.

Yeah, lots like Zuko. Kind of had an attitude like Toph though, only colder.

Wasn't that just a great combination...?

"You know, you could try being a little nicer," Sokka suggested.

"Wh-- why?" Sokka stuttered, then threw his hands up, "Because that's what people do! You want others to like you, don't you?!" And if he didn't... then what the heck was wrong with this guy?!

"Whoa easy." Again, Sokka's hands came up in defense. Maybe he had been bothering the guy a little too much, but hey, that's what he got for looking even remotely like his Yue in the first place.

Taking a moment to pause and think, Sokka wondered what he'd do if this was Zuko talking to him. That frumpy Prince was just the type to say something like this! Well, before, when he'd been a Prince, but not anymore, but still... he'd have probably said something like that at one point. "You know what you need? You need to actually have a friend, just to see how much fun it is! Then I'm sure you'll change your mind!" He nodded firmly.

"Do you now?" Sokka drawled, unconvinced and giving Yue an expression that said as much.

Sounded like he was avoiding the subject now. He couldn't get away with that! "Hey, you didn't answer! And... maybe it isn't," he admitted, though the maybe probably wasn't needed, "but I am right! People like nice guys!"

Sokka sighed. "You haven't been listening to a thing I've been telling you, have you?"

Maybe as soon as he found Zuko, he'd let the other go to work on making this guy loosen up. Or Katara! She spoke iceberg. Broke 'em pretty well too.
