Yusuke woke with a sigh, whispering, "Damn it!" He sat up and noticed Touya was already up and gone and he groaned. "God, No-one's in a good mood with me anymore. Or else they are but it's no good to me...," he trailed off, thinking of Kuwabara and Hiei. He understood why they were laughing at him, he understood why his mom and Keiko were mad, but what the hell was Touya's problem? Touya had never become truly open, but still, he hadn't been that icy towards Yusuke since... God, had Touya ever seemed icy towards him? Certainly difficult to read or know, but that was something Yusuke attributed to his lack of social skills. Touya had never seemed like this before. It was like he was angry or hurt or something.
Yusuke sighed again, pulling on his clothes and walking down to the kitchen to make something to eat. "Oh, fuck it," last night he'd been to tired to ever actually clean the mess the lasagna made when Touya collapsed. Now he'd have THAT to deal with as well. "Great, isn't life just peachy?!" He scowled, grabbing some paper towels.
He scooped most the burnt lasagna back into the tray it came in and threw it out. Then he came back with a wet sponge and some disinfectant crap ((A/N those, I believe, were his exact words when I asked teehee!)) and cleaned off the oven door and the floor of any remaining lasagna. He put that stuff away and pulled out a kitchen chair, sitting down and wondering what now. He was about to throw together some breakfast when he noticed noise from the garage.
Off he went to check. When he opened the door he saw Touya diligently working on his lessons, practicing some scales and simple melodies Yusuke taught him. Touya glanced up and saw Yusuke in the doorway and stopped. "I didn't wake you up, did I?" he asked quietly. "I thought I had the volume down..." he trailed off.
"Nah, I should have been off my lazy ass sooner," Yusuke replied. "You're definitely getting better, and you only just started too. Lucky," he continued, nodding appreciatively.
Touya blushed slightly. "Thanks," was all he would say.
Yusuke sighed. It's too early to have already sighed so many times he thought to himself. "Look, is something wrong? I don't tend to be quick on picking up simple concepts, but I'm not totally dense. You were obviously stressed last night when you fainted, and you looked upset the rest of the night too. I was just getting used to you having loosened up a little and stuff and then you pull this on me? That's no way to be," Yusuke said, ending with a trivial smile.
Touya looked at him a few moments and shook his head. "It's nothing." In a shockingly abrupt change of subject, Touya then added "I'd like you to teach me to read and write like ningens."
Yusuke nodded. "That's right, I keep forgetting you don't know how to. I will, but not right now, my head is still throbbing from having just woken up. I needa eat."
((A/N too much eating to get a story in! god it's one thing to be realistic but we're taking this too far. Yusuke, time for a diet!))
