We Love You | Silver!Yogi
It was cold. Why did he wake up at such an hour? Why didn’t he try to go back to sleep? Why did he choose to keep on staring outside? At the downpour? At the endless, tainted sky of the night? … This was one of the reasons as to why he didn’t like being alone. He didn’t have anyone to talk to. He didn’t have anyone to play with. He couldn’t stop the train of questions invading his mind whenever he was alone. Yet, even as he tried to find the answer to those rather rhetorical questions, he couldn’t find anything relevant enough.
His mind would be bombarded with questions, yet he would only stay still. Or may be daydreaming. Who could know? Shaking his head, he broke his gaze away from the window— But not before he saw another flash of lightning. And that was when he spotted him. That person. That person who’s so similar to Yogi in appearance, yet so different in terms of personality. He couldn’t help but get worried though. Why would he be outside? In the rain? He might get sick— And that’s not good. What would happen when those who cared for him found him the day after… Sick?
Eyebrows furrowed, Nai slowly made his way out of his bedroom; his mind set on one thing. He would bring him back to the Ship. Snatching an umbrella posted near the front door, the white-haired boy was confused. How should he… Approach him…? …He had cried in front of him that day; and before that, it seemed like he was mad at him for abandoning their hide-and-seek. He hadn’t mean to leave him hanging though. But, even if he gave him an excuse now… Would that mean anything… significant? Turning the doorknob to the main gate, Nai decided to shove the thought away for now. To get him out of the rain, that was his main goal for now.
If he asked for it, then he would give him his reason. Nothing more, nothing less. Stepping out of the comforting warmth the Circus’ Second Ship offered, Nai couldn’t help but flinch. It was much, much colder outside. Not to mention, being surrounded by the strong wind and thunders weren’t exactly comfortable for him. No, it’s not because he would be wet or anything, but— Well, let’s hope that his sensitive eardrums wouldn’t get abused too much.
But still, the rain mixed with the wind was hindering his vision. Where’s Yogi? He was sure that the man was here before this. Looking around, he finally found said man leaning against a tree; rather far from his place, really. Ruby orbs widening, Nai immediately rushed to his side; his instincts controlling his whole movement. He was drenched! If that continued, then— He would definitely get sick! Shaking his head to block off such thoughts, he simply quicken his pace; trying to avoid the branches sticking out every here and there.
That simple voice resurfacing from his memories was enough. He halted his steps. It was true. That time— The image of a broken Yukkin, along with the sparks of electricity surrounding him, flashed in his mind. He wouldn’t be able to forget about it so easily. Even though Yukkin was already fixed, even though it was weeks already after that incident, even though he had forgiven the man. Still— Looking down at his bandaged hands, he winced slightly at the memory. It hurt. The electricity sparks Yukkin emitted; he was reckless to hug his friend like that— When he’s broken. Akari-san had said that, it would take time to heal the burn marks, since Niji’s cells’ regeneration process wasn’t all that good. It was far below human’s.
Letting out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding, Nai clenched his fist; his hold on the umbrella tightening. Would this Yogi… hate him? Now that he thought about it; It was true that he abandoned the game. It was true that he cried when Yukkin got destroyed. It was true that he accused him of doing that; albeit indirectly. Lower lips bitten in a nervous manner, still, Nai decided to move forward. Out of the rain. Out of the rain. He needed to get him out of the rain. It was a one-track thought. He could talk about this later if the other wanted to.
It wasn’t long before he stopped; a step away from the blond-turned-silver-haired guy. Eyes looking up in determination, he offered the other his umbrella. Even if, he was struggling so that it could cover up the taller male as well. Offering an umbrella to someone taller than you was hard. There’s nothing he could do about it though. The both of them were already drenched because of the wind anyway. The umbrella was just a helpful tool so that they wouldn’t be wetter.
The silence didn’t last long.
"…Let’s go back … to the Ship."
