#33-Aftermath-Yusuke/Kurama
"You're an idiot!"
Kurama shrugged, sighing deeply as he peeled the bandages off, with considerable resistance.
"You knew Karasu wanted more than just a fight," Yusuke cried, "so why did you get into the ring like that?! I could have-"
"Done nothing," the kitsune shrugged, "Karasu had this planned for weeks. Had I backed down, he would have known he'd beaten me. I am injured...but aren't I always?"
"Right!" Yusuke grabbed Kurama's bleeding shoulders harder than he'd meant to, "So let me know when you're okay again so I can just let you die, okay?!"
"...Yusuke...?"
The detective sighed, pulled away just a little, stared at his own calloused palms, "Look...just...don't die over something stupid like these guys. I would never forgive myself if we lost you because of me...if I lost you..."
Softly, Kurama took his hand. There was nothing more he could say.
