Oh nooooooooo... Where is my darling ?
Yasuo already had his answer though it wasn't that accurate. All he needed to know and so so obvious, Yi wasn't here. Gone during his sleep time, without a doubt.
It meant he had to, for various reasons. So not worth getting sad on it, the latter warned him from the start.
Yet here he was rolling in bed to find nothing but emptiness and increasing solitude. Fuck... It could happen sometimes. Again, it was always better to have Yi to stay, right in his arms. Home. Why cry about it ? Even the day before his lover had to leave for a time. He was no one to hold him back, after all, Yi had a purpose and mission to fulfill.
« Arggggggg. »
So this day would be spent doing nothing, sighing after his gone love and dreaming of a better time. The moment he turned around in bed Yasuo remembered everything. Soft ache, after such thorough exploration the evening before. It hurt so slightly, in the delightful way. No way he told that to Yi, he would get worried for nothing.
Still, he was so glad to feel it even in the following day. Proof he got his lover to enjoy himself. And more.
For a time it crossed his mind to seek relief by himself, right now. Just to give a private show to Yi, as far as he could be right now. To show him how he was missed. But Yasuo didn't really know if it was so smart.
It had been some time since he got outside and the others would consider him dead by now. Hungry. And this indeed.
Teasing Yi could be fun but now wasn't the right mood. Probably he was too busy, if he had to leave in a rush.
Yasuo blowed a kiss in a random direction : « For you, baby. Hope you'll come back soon. » It was heard without a doubt but the answer would wait some time. This whole thing seemed ridiculous but he gave it meaning, holding dear to show affection even when it couldn't be provided face to face.
Somewhere he made Yi's day better, he hoped.
Solitude was a bitch sometimes and so was hunger, reminding him that he couldn't stay in his room forever. Okay okay. A tactical expedition would be required.
Given the time, he was likely to run into anyone from the crew so Yasuo decided to actually wear something decent. At least to be presentable and not pass as the lazy idiot he could be.
Not so awake – but still more than minutes ago – he made his way quietly in the Morning Star, to the kitchen. There some happy fuss welcomed him, sign that Jinx indeed tried to cook despite the usual results.
This was the instant he walked into the kitchen, registering the other people there. No Malphite. Sona was here, sort of fleeting panick as she watched this tragedy occuring at the hands of their pilot – and not cook of the Morning Star .
Jinx was indeed the first to notice him after such a long time.
« Holy shit ! Look, a ghost ! I was thinking we'd never— bwahahah you're walking funny ! » Too much at once, said in a rush and already she was dissolving in laughter.
Given this splendid announce, Sona looked around to indeed register the sudden appearance.
I'm done. How, after all this time, could Jinx make him want to quit with merely a few sentences. This was an incredible ability and Yasuo couldn't fight it. Right then his tolerance got greatly lower.
« You. Go fuck yourself. And shut up at the occasion. » Threatening anger, ready to go free if really she pushed too far. But it wouldn't happen. And if really he couldn't hold, it was still possible to go away before he broke something.
No need to scare Sona further, she saw already too much crap in her life. She still looked quite relieved to see him now, maybe in hope he would stop the small carnage.
« Looks like I wasn't the one fucked recently. » Cheerful, playing around and so oblivious to the wrath that could break free after that. But Jinx laughed at the face of death, why bother ? It was true anyway.
Too much implicit in all this and Yasuo was torn between stomping away, stay proud as the captain he was supposed to be or just calm this down before it could shock their poor guest. But it did urge him to vent and shout after Jinx. Looking desperately for his ounce of self-control.
« You're not wrong but please don't bother him with that. I take entire responsibility for this. »
Clear voice ringing in the kitchen, too familiar.
What.
Silence fell on everyone, like a heavy blanket of snow. Even Yasuo, the instant he was held gently. A hand pressed to his chest, embraced in the most peaceful manner. His heart went crazy before he even fully realized. Yi !
The latter held him close after such unexpected arrival. All gazes on him.
No words came to translate his reaction taken aback in his longing and too unfamiliar setting for them. Here was Yi, hugging him though not all the way, maybe in a shy display of affection.
« Eeeeeeeeh ! You gonna give me a heart attack one day, geez. » Jinx seemed to be the first to recover, going back on her business though her attention never left.
« My apologies, this wasn't my intention. But please, don't bother him. »
« Alright, alright. But ya know he's far too easy to target, not really my fault. » Back on her tracks, without suprise. Then a hint of mischief : « Still, the night was good ? »
« I am quite sure you have heard of privacy. So I won't tell anything. » Equally playful, bright smile as he replied.
Not the most usual side of Yi, it left him a bit surprised. But nothing bad. He merely talked back on the same way than Jinx.
So Yasuo stood there, dead silent while words refused to work for him. Even as he slightly relaxed in the embrace, the presence. Instinct told it wasn't the right place to go handy on Yi, even to show, coo gently his affection. Jinx was right here and he feared so much for his peace of mind.
Contact got a little tighter, as if in reaction to his train of thoughts.
« Guess I'll just stay here with my questions, nah. Promise, won't bother lover boy too much. For now. » Followed by a high chuckle, so typical.
« So do it. » At last he managed to get out of this frozen position, going for one of the chairs nearby.
It had as obvious result to lessen their contact but Yi went too, merely keeping a hand on his shoulder when he sat down.
Small scene happening and Sona said nothing. At least the conflict was over.
When Yasuo wanted to ask what his lover would do, maybe stay here and take a sit, Yi spoke again : « Sadly I can't stay. I am still needed elsewhere, this was merely a small visit to see if you were doing fine. I shall come back as soon as I can. »
Oh...
So short relief, blooming softly as contact stayed. But Yi had to leave him again.
The instant he turned to really look at the latter, Yi came in a flash and pressed a peck to his cheek. Shock of cold, maybe the result of the mask but it made Yasuo both shiver and blush despite himself. Strong hue, staining.
As quick, the latter disappeared. Small light turning into nothing.
