luceti — need your character to meet up with him, but making a new post for it seems like overkill? Let's thread here!

Oh, no? Nothing at all?

[Yukito grins ever so innocently, folding his arms across his chest as though to prove that he's going to let Touya make food in peace.]

You had to have some kind of opinion. And I wouldn't want to do something that upset you....

[Touya empties the leftovers onto a couple plates and turns on the oven. Once he's done that, he turns to Yuki with a flat look on his face.]

Look at me. Do I look upset? Maybe upset that you can push my buttons so easily. [He muttered, frowning--it looked more like a pout, though.]

[Yukito takes a step closer, unfolding his arms and lifting one hand to touch Touya's cheek.]

I've known you for a while, you know.

Yeah... [Touya finally cracks a smile and puts his hand over Yuki's.] I'll always tell you the truth, even if I don't think it's something you want to hear. I spent weeks trying to tell you something I don't think you wanted to face.

I know. And you kept trying, because I needed to hear it.

[He smiles in return, warm and fond and a little amused as well.]

But what do you want, Touya?

[Touya is quiet for a moment while he thinks about what to say. It's nerve-wracking, being this honest about things that normally weren't really discussed. Or at least, nobody talked about them in public.]

I like it when we touch or hold each other. I thought about it a lot in the past few weeks. [He brings his eyebrows together slightly in concern.] Is that no good?

I think it's very good.

[Yukito takes another step, moving in until he can't get any closer still.]

I like it, as well. I like to be reminded that you're here, and real.

[Touya sighs and wraps his arms around Yuki's shoulders and pulls him close.] I know we've been together for almost a year, but I still wonder if one day I'm going to do or say something dumb. And then you'll be gone.

That's just me worrying too much again though, right?

Yes.

[And Yukito sounds quite certain of it, as the response is immediate and quite firm. He quite willingly leans in closer, resting his head against Touya's shoulder and sliding his arms around him in return.]

I'm not going anywhere. No matter what, my feelings won't change.

[Touya rests his head on top of Yuki's and sighs heavily, closing his eyes and savoring the moment.]

You're not going to tell me one day out of the blue that we should break up?

I can't imagine a reason why I would ever want to do that.

[Yukito does the same for a moment, but then shifts slightly to brush his lips across Touya's throat, so temptingly close as it is.]

When I was dating Kaho I thought the same--that there wasn't a reason why we should break up. But then one day she just said I was meant for someone else and that we were done. [He plays idly with the hair at the back of Yuki's neck in response to the kiss.] I think she was talking about you. But you're tricky too, who knows what you'll say to me next. [He's teasing, mostly.]

Hm, so you were meant for me? I think I like that thought.

[He gives a light, involuntary shiver that extends to the tips of his wings, and laughs quietly.]

Sometimes I think you're as much a part of me as Yue-san is.

...I like the thought too. [He smiles softly, stroking the back of Yuki's head gently, almost reverently. The last time Touya had talked to Kaho, what she had said did suggest that Touya was where he was supposed to be. But so much weird stuff happened around Sakura, it worried him that maybe he wasn't done no matter how right he felt with Yuki.]

This last week, it felt like you both were a part of me too. Seeing what Yue was like before everything with Clow wasn't the same as when we were all living together. I was sad you weren't there, and I was sad that Yue was looking for something that would never appear. I felt a little sick all the time, like something was out of balance.

I'm especially glad to be back, then. It feels like... everything's right again.

[Even if they aren't at home, it still feels like home when Touya is there, and that's enough for him. Yukito falls silent for a moment as he considers, then a little hesitantly brings up a subject he'd never really brought up before.]

Touya? What about you and Yue-san?

[Touya blinks, feeling a little like he's been caught cheating or something akin to it. He pulls back a little so he can look at Yuki's face while they talk.]

What about me and Yue?

[Yukito smiles, lifting a hand to rest it gently against Touya's cheek.]

You feel like Yue-san is a part of you, too?

[Oh. Touya thought he was going to be asked a much harder question. It's still one he has to think about for a moment, but it's less difficult then say, asking if Touya liked being around Yue all the time.]

...Sometimes. And sometimes I feel like we're missing one another. As though we're in sync and then suddenly I don't know what he's thinking.

Hmm.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment, thumb brushing almost absently across Touya's cheekbone, then his smile suddenly quirks a little wider.]

That sounds about right, I think.

[Touya blinks--he's doing okay...? After a moment of prolonged surprise, Touya cocks an eyebrow.]

I'm not messing up when I push him?

Can I offer you advice? Is that really fair?

[From the way his head tilts a little, eyes not quite focusing on Touya, he's talking to more than one person at the same time. And then a moment later he laughs, the sound warm and fond and amused.]

Well. You did say it yourself, Touya, we're not that different. Are we?

Of course it's fair, it'd be unfair to ignore my request wouldn't it? [He crosses his arms huffily. He can see where Yuki's coming from, obviously, but sometimes he just didn't know where he and Yue stood. The past few weeks made it even more confusing.]

I know I said that, but... sometimes people say things on instinct and then later look back and think, 'What was I actually talking about back then? Did I even know what I was talking about?' Right?

I think that's only because you're second-guessing yourself. Your instincts have always been quite good, Touya.

Yeah, but my instincts were always good about people I spent a lot of time with. Like you and Sakura. And when Yue gets that sad, distant look in his eyes I don't know what I feel anymore. I feel like everything he's thinking happened way before I was even born and how could I understand that?

It was easy with you. [He gives Yuki a small smile.] We were both the weird kids. But Yue's not weird, I'm afraid of being the weird one.

You don't have to completely understand someone to love them. You just have to want to.

[He tilts his head slightly.] We're part of each other, Touya. You can't really separate us, not completely.
