[weaseled]

He seriously told you that?

[He's going to kill that man.]

He's full of shit. That's all you need to know.

[fluorite]

will you tell me what happened?

[weaseled]

I threw the bottles. I damaged the shelf. That lying bastard didn't do a damn thing.

[fluorite]

[ Maybe Yael expects to be scolded, but the response he gets instead is: ]

are you alright?

[weaseled]

[Yuui is always managing to throw him for a loop. He should be scolding him.]

Fine as fine can be.

Aren't you mad?

[fluorite]

well, i wish you would respect my stuff. i'm upset about that.

but i'm more worried about you than i am mad

[weaseled]

I'm fine, Yuui.

I'm sorry for breaking your things. I don't know what came over me.

[fluorite]

it's alright, sheza

what were you doing? just drinking?

[ He has an idea of what caused it (PTSD), but he won't be diagnosing Yael over text. ]

[weaseled]

Drinking. Talking to that bastard about what a piece of shit he is.

[fluorite]

uh huh. sure.

i have a feeling you don't want to elaborate. am i right?

[weaseled]

What do you want me to do? Lie on your couch and tell you everything that's wrong with me?

You know why I snapped. You know better than anyone.

[Yuui is, after all, the one who insisted he could handle him.]

[fluorite]

no, but i would like it if you talked to me.

[ He feels like he's being shut down and he doesn't like it. ]

it's because i know that i want to talk about it

[weaseled]

That's nice.

What are you going to do if I don't tell you?

[Yuui truly isn't mad enough. Let him help with that.]

[fluorite]

[ There are a lot of things he could say or do. He could leave this message on read and pretend he never saw it, he could respond in anger, he could pick up the phone and call and give him a good scolding.

However, Yuui decides not to do any of that. ]

why wouldn't you tell me?

[weaseled]

[Damn it, Fai. You're supposed to get angry. Justifiably angry. This is not how this conversation was supposed to go.]

Come on. Don't get upset.

[fluorite]

you can't actively provoke me and then tell me not to get upset

[ He sees right through you, buddy. ]

[weaseled]

You'd be better off if you quit while you're ahead.

You don't need to know everything, Yuui. Get off my ass.

[fluorite]

isn't that the point of a relationship?

[weaseled]

Sure. So is knowing when to back off.

[fluorite]

[ Read: ✔️

If Yael sends Yuui another text that day, he does not get a response.

He doesn't get a good morning text the next day either. ]

[weaseled]

[he got what he asked for and it FUCKING SUCKS,

On Day Whatever of Yuui ignoring his texts and calls, a series of heavy knocks falls on his front door. Open up, your asshole boyfriend finally wants to talk.]

[fluorite]

[ He knows immediately that those knocks belong to Yael, the weight of them easily identifiable to him. It takes him a little while to finally make his way over to the door, where he still stands and contemplates answering it.

Anger simmers low in the pit of his stomach, and he has to take a deep breath before finally opening the door. ]

What?

[weaseled]

[...And there's Yuui, rightfully angry. This is what Yael wanted, right?

He swallows around a leaden throat. In his hands is a bundle of red roses, but he doesn't insist that Yuui take them. They're for him, of course, but Yael has forced him enough as it is.]

Sorry. I know you were only trying to help.

[Every word feels awkward on his tongue. He sincerely doubts Yuui cares to hear any of them.]

[fluorite]

[ He's mad. He's furious. Yuui feels hot with fury just barely under his skin, threatening to come out.

Yet, seeing those roses in Yael's hand and the apology on his lips gives him pause, his heart aching painfully, still raw from their conversation a couple of days before.

Words feel inadequate and no real, concrete thoughts come to the forefront of his mind for long enough for Yuui to voice them. So, he does all he really can do and rushes forward to wrap his arms around Yael's middle. ]

[weaseled]

[That's more like it. Yael doesn't deserve this hug, but since when has this greedy bastard denied himself the things he wants? Since he started arguing with Fai and hurting them both, for starters, but he came here to make amends. Dreadful as he is, he isn't cruel enough to carry on hurting this man.

He cares for him, after all.

His arms wrap around Fai and his lips settle against his temple, one puzzle piece neatly slotting into the other. His voice is a murmur in his ear.]

You're too forgiving, Yuui. I was expecting you to slug me in the face.
