"I shouldn’t have yelled at you."
@gadian-shin - i lost the prompt ; ; but i remember it’s related to this ask right ( HERE )
it’s been a week since noya’s incident, and two days since the doctor confirmed noya can no longer do any strenuous activities. she remembers as he kept on talking, bringing up physiotherapy and a few medications to help ease the pain until he was fit to walk again. she remembers him talking and noya staring at his hands, at first laying motionless in his lap but at the end his fingers were curled tight into his palms, his knuckles white.
noya was barely holding himself back, a ticking bomb.
it’s also been two days since noya’s outburst, and yuki knows fully well he didn’t mean what he said. the world he knew and had built came crashing down too fast for anyone to comprehend. she knows, she understands, but it doesn’t mean his words did hurt. they’ve been friends, practically family, for years now and what else is there to expect besides her dropping anything on her hands to rush to his side?
“it’s okay,” yuki’s voice is low as she leans forward in her seat, one of her hands laying on top of his. she gives him a smile, one that doesn’t quite wrinkle her eyes, it’s faint and lasts for a brief second. kagami booked the earliest flight and was on his way. maybe seeing kagami will do noya more good.
“i–” her sentence is cut off by her phone’s ringing. yuki checks the time on her watch and it reads 3:30PM. it’s time for her to pick up cody. she gives noya’s hand a firm squeeze before rising from her seat with grace her shaky legs shouldn’t offer, but she’s grateful for nonetheless. “i have to pick up cody..” she pauses, mulling over her words and thoughts, “i’ll give him a quick shower and lunch then i’ll stop by again, okay? he wants to see you, said he wants to show you more pictures of his bird.”
and again, there’s this pause. she’s standing, with nothing more to say and yet she’s still here, almost afraid of letting his hand go. afraid..why?
“i love you, you know that right? we all do.” yuki gives his head a kiss and this uncertainty in her chest quiets down. “do you want me to bring you anything? besides cody and his stories?”
