Nightshift 46: M11-M20 Hallway

[notthistrain.livejournal.com]

Once again the doors had opened. Cloud believed most of what Yuffie had told him, but it was still unreal the way this place operated. They were clearly being tested, mocked, or both with the nightly routine, yet they didn't have many other options but to take the chances they were given.

Still unarmed, but hopefully ready to deal with anything, the blond nodded a goodbye to his roommate before stepping out into the hall with nothing but his flashlight. Yuffie's room was in the single female block, which was on the other side of the block he was currently in. It wouldn't take long to get there, but knowing that creatures could attack the patients even within the patient block caused him to keep his guard up right from the start.

Hard as it was, Touya allowed himself a small smile, face turned away from Yue. He'd been beginning to doubt the validity of his earlier thought that Yue and Yuki weren't so different, but then things like this popped up and he'd remember what he first saw the day he gave up his power.

"If anything," Touya offered, walking down the hallway next to Yue. "It will give Ken a chance to sleep without us talking in his ear while he's trying to rest?" Perhaps a different approach would loosen Yue a bit--if only a bit. He seemed stiffer than usual...

Couldn't be. Touya must've been reading too much into it. After all, Yue was already upset, why not stiff as well?

Once through the door Yue allowed his wings to relax slightly, but there was no corresponding change to his own posture. The change of topic was a welcome one, and he gave Touya a brief sidelong glance and nodded. "He's been sleeping quite a bit lately," he observed, frowning slightly. "I've been starting to wonder if something is wrong. Did he seem injured when...you last saw him?"

And then even that ended up moving around back to the night before. The realization made Yue's frown deepen; his wings twitched slightly before he moved on, walking just a little bit faster now.
