Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[As with the weeks before, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to something resembling normalcy with shocking efficiency. The second floor rest area and Adventure Zone Death Orb Room are spotless again, the demon glitter has been vacuumed, the deflated orbs have been replaced. It's like none of it ever happened, like three more friends aren't dead and stored away in the guest house morgue.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Just to the garden. I didn't know if I was going to sleep much tonight so I wanted to wear myself out a little bit.

[ She pulls back a bit -- just enough to be able to press a hand to his cheek and give him a smile. ]

... I'll be fine now, though. I was just... worried about you. But you're here now.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He smiles faintly, because it's the natural thing to do when Yuuri smiles, and brushes his fingers across the back of her hand.]

Yeah. I am.

[He's still here.]

I'm not up to going with you, I think. Maybe tomorrow...?

[He's just gonna faceplant into bed. Do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars.]

[serrata]

[ She just shakes her head, runs her thumb gently across his cheek. ]

That's fine -- I don't blame you. I barely feel up to it myself but I... feel like I have to.

[ Someone has to plant a flower for Kip but well we all know how well this goes from my actual toplevel ]

Will you be okay by yourself, just until I'm done? And then when I'm finished, we can both get some rest.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I'll be all right.

[It won't be the first time he's turned in alone after the worst day of his life. This time, though, he has a promise.]

If I'm asleep, just ask Church or Ardyn to let you in from their side. I'll let them know. Bathroom door'll be open.

[These are the people he trusts while he's so vulnerable: the omnicidal king, the living disaster, and Wakasa Yuuri.]

[serrata]

Okay. Do you want me to bring you anything? Something to eat or drink -- or do you think you'll be asleep by then?

[ She doesn't want him to feel like he's being coddled or treated like he's too fragile to take care of himself. But when she sees him like this, she just can't help it. You're getting cared for and supported, Junpei Tenmyouji. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He shakes his head and smiles almost imperceptibly.]

...It's enough just to have you.

[serrata]

[ Her expression brightens a bit. She's enough, is she?

She huffs out a little laugh and slowly steps back -- she takes hold of his hands, both of them and gives them a little squeeze. ]

Alright. I'll do my best to be quick and then I'll come straight there.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[This more than anything--a laugh, a squeeze, a smile--promises him that life goes on. That someday, they might be okay again.

He can't feel the squeeze against his robot hand--but maybe he can. It feels a little warmer. He lifts her hands and kisses each one, soft.]

Okay. ...Thanks, Yuuri.
