I'll text you each of them as they're scheduled. Fufu... don't be mad, Yuuri. I wouldn't want my precious friend to see something unimpressive, you know. I had to do this.

[He had to try it alone... Ah, he's still so tired. If Yuuri is kind enough to help him all the way to his bed, he'll collapse into it so heavily that he doesn't even want to move to get comfortable.]

[yokunaru]

You'd better. [Yuuri doesn't even try to make his voice sound threatening, too occupied with dropping a light blanket onto his friend.

He isn't even angry, really. As disappointed as he is that he'd missed Eichi's performance, Yuuri understands why Eichi hadn't invited him. Disappointing friends is much harder to swallow than disappointing strangers.

Yuuri perches carefully on the edge of the bed, one hand lightly touching Eichi's shoulder before pulling away.] You're a precious friend to me, too.

[finethanks]

[Surprisingly, that last comment is enough to color Eichi's cheeks a little. He feels warm, pleased by that, and a few worries that he'd been holding onto lessen.]

Thank you, Yuuri. [What else can he say to that? He doesn't deserve a friend like this. Not after everything he's done. Not after who he is... And yet, here's Yuuri.]

I've been thinking for some time, you know, about you and Victor and my reaction to seeing you again. I felt as though I'd been abandoned, even if it was no choice of yours, and I worried that I'd be forgotten or left behind even upon seeing you again. By playing that prank on Victor, I wonder if I even pushed him away a little...

I hope I haven't caused either of you any trouble.

[yokunaru]

You haven't. [He says it firmly, leaving Eichi no room to argue with him about this.]

Viktor--he was just surprised by the prank. I don't think he's still angry about it, you know. [Yuuri tilts his head, frowning down at Eichi.]

You're not... staying away because of that, are you?

[finethanks]

[There's just long enough of Eichi smiling at that question to understand that he heard it, but he doesn't answer. Instead, with his eyes closed and his breaths deepening, it seems he's fallen asleep just like that.]

[yokunaru]

[Yuuri just sighs fondly when he realizes Eichi's already out like a light. It's a question that he'll probably have to ask again some other time.

Before he leaves, Yuuri makes sure Eichi's sufficiently covered with the blanket. The door closes with a quiet click behind him.]
