Touya began explaining how he'd realized it was the same nightmare he'd had the first night he'd stayed with Yusuke, and the additions to it. Atsuko and Yusuke listened patiently to the end.

"Touya… you'll never have to go back to that, you know. I won't let you fall like that." Yusuke said softly.

Touya nodded. "I know. I hope that now I know what the dream is that it will go away. It's just that… however far I push him away, he still haunts me. I'm happy, here with you, but still my thoughts dwell… WHY CAN'T I STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM?!" Touya spoke softly, and his voice rose in abrupt crescendo, till he yelled the last sentence.

Yusuke looked at Touya worriedly, as did Atsuko. "Touya… are you all right? What can I do to help you?" Yusuke asked.

Touya sighed. "Not really. I don't think there's anything you can do, Yusuke… just… be there, ok?"

Yusuke nodded. "Till the ends' of the worlds."

Touya smiled meekly. "You're worrying if this will affect the plans for us to go on tour again, aren't you?"

Yusuke grinned. "Not as much as I was worried about you, but yeah, I was."

Touya smiled a bit more. "Don't worry. I'll get things under control. I just need a little longer to sort things out."

"Take as long as you need."
