Long day and Yasuo couldn't forget yet. What was that ? Just one awkward moment in his life ? No need to linger on this, probably Yi already forgot. Simple but he couldn't.

The morning went so slowly. After the 'incident', he returned on his couch and tried to fall asleep again but again, he had no luck. He stayed aware of any noises in the flat, listening to the latter till he would go to work.

Lily was awake too, obviously. She kept meowing after Yi then at some point it was enough and she went quiet. Probably she went to sleep. Lucky.

When he heard Yi lock the door as he left, he felt like breathing again. Not that he truly feared his friend but for now he couldn't face him yet. Or it would remind both of them that specific instant.

Ridiculous, yes. But Yasuo couldn't find another way. He would deal with it later during the day, find a solution.

It didn't happen though. He just did nothing, staring at the wall when his thoughts became too loud. Really, this wasn't worth the fuss but he couldn't control that.

Sometimes he found a distraction, went on the internet, whatever he could find. Then without missing his mind returned on the latest interaction with Yi. Just to remind him that he was dumb. Please…

The rest of the time, some nice pictures came back to his mind. To be smothered as quick, this wasn't the time nor the place and even less the person to give such thoughts on. But Yasuo could remember this so well, enough to make him blush for a time. Fuck. What's wrong with me ? A mere eyeful and now he was barely able to think about something else.

It didn't make sense, he had already seen a lot more from his occasional times with other guys, why did this make his life hell suddenly ? The only explanation was that the person mattered, which he blocked immediately because he didn't like that. Was Yi different from anyone ?

To explore that thought would kill him on the spot, too aware of how terribly he reacted at their first meeting after so many years. No need to explore that. He already knew he was falling for him, to know the depth was useless.

Calm, he came to consider this new piece of information. Yi took his shower in the morning, that he already knew. The new thing was that he could catch a glimpse if he was up around that time, on this short window. Shameful thought indeed, he blamed himself for the next thirty minutes. Yet it was true, there was a possibility. No. He wouldn't.

After such inner torture, Yasuo had no way to calm himself properly. In last resort, he went outside for a walk, to get some fresh air. Lily was difficult to convince to stay inside the flat but at last he managed to close the door without her escaping.

In more than a month, he had already become a bit more familiar with the surroundings of the flat. Not really downtown, more like residencial area. So it left him a lot to walk at peace, except sometimes getting a jumpscare because of a dog behind a fence.

Silently, that was a chance to escape his thoughts for a time. Yet it wasn't so merciful, he couldn't escape it. Sighing like always, about his need to see someone. Soon or he risked to project more and more his urges on Yi, which wasn't really correct nor fair.

Maybe once he got a small job he would be more peaceful about going out at night. This would be really for the best. No reason to eye at Yi, no reason to feel so bothered after a tiny incident. That's it, I'm horny ? Too long since last time, maybe. He would still survive but on the long run it might not be the best.

With all his problems in mind, Yasuo didn't see time go until he looked at his phone. Ooops. It was so late that Yi was probably home, to find no one there.

Quickly he made it back home too, not wanting to delay dinner by arriving late. Expecially because it was his turn to cook.

However once he arrived in the building everything from the day slapped him in the face. Ah, yes. How could he forget that ? Impossible. It had been so difficult this morning that he had to avoid Yi. And now he would see him again. Shit.

He had to go back anyway. No way to dodge this. And if he acted normal, the incident would never be brought up again. Why was he even freaking out about it ? It was going to be fine, Yi would have already forgotten.

Yasuo swore, the second he put his key to unlock the door, he heard Lily meowing on the other side. How ? Like a super sense for any opportunity to escape.

Sort of panick, he feared she would sneak out and run away in the corridor. So he stayed right there, considering his options.

Before he even chose to play it quick, Lily got quiet. Oh ?

« It's fine, I got her. » Yi's voice, from inside the flat.

Then it was fine. Yasuo stayed cautious as he came inside and closed the door but indeed the fluffy cat was in the latter's arms.

« Hey. How was your day ? » Yi stood there, petting Lily gently as he kept his attention on his guest.

« Mmmh ? Fine, fine. Like usual. » It struck Yasuo, after all he did not to think about it. He faced Yi but it was difficult, remembering later that same day. His only hope was for not blushing.

To busy himself, he took off his shoes and went to the living room. Come on. Be strong and don't fuck up.

Just, Yi followed and took the cat with him as he sat on the couch. Lily seemed fine like that, getting the attention she was kept from for a few hours. Loud purring filled the room, distracting Yasuo. He joined them and petted Lily gently.

« Yasuo, I have something to tell you. Yone texted me about you. » Quiet tone, that betrayed nothing. Yi still met his gaze as he told this, seeking his attention.

Oh no.
