Gamble
It was a terrible risk that Yukito was taking, Yue knew, becoming intimate with Ruby Moon while her master was halfway around the world. But then, no one else had made Yukito so happy after Touya...well, and made Yue feel so alive and *himself*.
And who was *he* to judge, Yue decided, as he brushed his wingtips and lips against her own in their anxious, moonlit talks on Yukito's roof, amid his not-so-humble demands for her patience with Yukito. "He loves you," he murmured between soft stolen kisses, his fearful heart taking refuge in that pronoun. "Please, give him some time—" and as Ruby finally, tearfully, kissed him back, Yue felt the hope and reassurance wrap around his anxious heart as surely and sweetly as her arms and wings wrapped about him, and it was no gamble, no, not at all.
