A farewell was never something Yūji could take well - even if it meant parting ways just for a few days. He got so used to the place and especially the sage here...
He was ready to go - just until a hand reached for his wrist, crumbling all his determination to tiny specks of dust. Yet, the white haired smiled.
Such an act showed that the other trusted him and was ready to come out of his shell more, exploring own wants and needs. So he stayed for a moment longer and turned to the smaller one.
Yūji let his wrist slip out of the grab and cupped Yuichis face with both hands, stroking softly over the smooth skin of the cheeks. "I'm doing my work and will be back just this evening. Is that a deal?" He spoke softly. As much as he'd love to just stay, he missed his Honmaru too - the swords, his brother. And to not let everything fall back on the latter one, he had to regulary return. Sure, everything could always be going more smooth, but he was grateful how it was now.
