From A Different Perspective
Shu choked on his spit. What. What? ...What! Yuma. Him. They were friends. He wasn't crazy! Yuma was Edgar! And Edgar was alive! He was right! Yuma remembered. Shu took a moment to steady himself, then grasped Yuma's shoulders, "Edgar. Yuma. You are?!" Shu choked out. Yuma growled, "Yeah, unless you keep a large supply of childhood friends without memories, then I am Edgar, and call me Yuma damn it!", "I was right" murmured Shu, Yuma glared at him, and got a harder grip on his collar "So you did know, then why the fuck didn't you tell me!", "I wasn't sure, I couldn't just assume you were Edgar without any hard evidence", Yuma released Shu's collar, and bitterly spat "Ya could've tried harder though", Shu brushed himself off and looked at Yuma softly, "I know, I'm sorry, I didn't want to be disappointed and selfishly tried to spare myself any pain".
Yuma looked away slightly, "S'alright, no sense fighting about it now", Shu gave a Yuma small smile, "I missed you", Yuma scratched the back of his neck and said flustered "Yeah, I, um, didn't-couldn't because I didn't remember- but! I um m-missed you t-uh too", Shu chuckled, Yuma scowled, embarrassed "Shut up!", Shu smile grew "You know, you're not very intimidating when you're in my body", "That's because my body's taller than yours! Which is another reason we need to switch back" snapped Yuma. Shu sobered a little bit, "We need to switch back as soon as possible, especially now, I don't like the idea of you and Reiji in the same house", Yuma scoffed, "Yeah? Why not? Afraid I might finally lose my temper and punch that jerk? He'd deserve it", Shu shook his head, "No, that's not why, but anyway, Ruki seems to be still treating me a little coldly, do you want to tell your brothers about your regained memory?".
Yuma tilted his head, "Huh, yeah I guess, it's still all a little hard for me to take in, and I don't remember all of the details yet", Shu nodded thoughtfully, "Then you'll tell your brothers after we've switched back?", Yuma laughed a little "Yeah, and let them know that despite what they thought, unfortunately they're not done with you for good". Shu smiled too, "Well, I don't think Azusa dislikes me that much, but I can't speak for Ruki or Kou", Yuma shrugged, "They might not".
After Shu had returned to the mansion with Mukamis, he asked Ruki if he had any progress with switching him and Yuma back. Ruki sighed "Well, unfortunately I don't have much, but I have found that it is most likely your mind sets and memories that have switched, which is more possible than say, your souls switching, though still very impressive of whoever switched you and Yuma", Shu furrowed his brow, "So you're sure someone switched us on purpose?", Ruki nodded slightly, "Perfectly, something that requires as much care and skill- not to mention materials- as this couldn't just happen by accident or chance", but who switched them was the troubling question, who had the skill and motivation to do so? What was their angle? Shu was draw out of his thoughts by Ruki's voice, "Unfortunately I don't know how to switch you back, especially since I'm not quite sure how you two specifically switched in the first place", Shu sighed, "Its fine, maybe with more research we can find more", Ruki rubbed his temples, "For the moment, that's all we can do".
Yuma unenthusiastically returned to the Sakamaki mansion with Shu's brothers. It was an understatement to say he couldn't wait until he and Shu switched back, he hated the four eyed bastard, he hated the demon triplets, and he really wished Subaru would rein in his temper, of course Reiji would 'punish' Subaru at times, but he would do it by taking the allowance that he had no intention of delivering to Subaru in the first place, damn Yuma hated Reiji, he was an asshole to basically everyone, but in particular Shu or who he thought was Shu, the triplets weren't much better, they were completely merciless to Subaru, and even individually they were horrible, Sakamaki family was frankly unbearable. Yuma sighed as he lounged in the gardens, he couldn't wait to get out, though Yuma supposed, guilty, that he should be helping Shu and his brother find a way to switch back instead of just complaining.
But how was he supposed to help? It wasn't like he had anyway to look stuff up, because he sure as hell couldn't use Reiji's library. What did they even expect him to do? Use his 'intellectual' and 'genius' brain to figure everything out? Ha! Hardly. Yuma frowned slightly, feelings someones eyes on him, he turned and looked behind him, Subaru was staring at him from little ways away, but immediately looked down and hurried away when he was caught, Yuma narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, well if that wasn't odd and suspicious then Yuma didn't know what was. Why would the albino be staring at him? Even if he was in Shu's body it was weird, it wasn't like he was never in the gardens, in fact he had spent a lot of time there recently, so what was Subaru's deal? Did he want guidance and wisdom from his older brother? Probably not, jeez life was just getting stranger and stranger wasn't it.
