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.

"That makes two of us then, doesn't it?" Ken had tried and failed to help before, and now it was just the two of them. He'd been nothing but useless ever since he woke up in this God forsaken place.

Ken sighed. "I'm sick of this bullshit."

Yohji made a soft noise of frustration and then opened one eye to peer at Ken. "Sorry," he said quietly. He shouldn't let his temper get the better of him, but he felt frayed and tired. "I am too. Makes me miss the Koneko and the time there which is something I never thought I'd be saying." Hell, he was beginning to miss Germany which was saying something.

"It's fine." Ken didn't like that Yohji was so seemingly disturbed by his refusal to take the damn medicine, he understood, but...

Understanding didn't always come in the same breath as doing.

"Fuck, I even miss the damn trailer," Ken snorted. Giving up on going it alone, he shifted across the couch cushions to lean into Yohji's uninjured side.

"...but even if...we just had them back..."

It wasn't fine. He was getting too wound up over something fucking stupid. He just hated seeing Ken in pain like that when there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even check on the wounds and treat them himself. It made him feel so damn helpless.

Yohji laughed softly at that, a tired but genuine sound. "Even the trailer. Man, we're so fucked if we're missing those few months of hell." Four men sharing a tiny trailer? Yeah, not fun.

He swallowed thickly at it. It was horrible to want them back in this place, but Yohji had to agree. "Yeah... we're not much use without them."
