Mm. I had this ... urge, I guess. To kill him before he killed me, like I knew he was in danger. It might've been the same for him. When he killed me, it wore off.
[ and not just because. y'know. dead. ]
Ah, did Shoma find us? [ poor shoma.... shu doesn't know he crashed into him and threw them both in the lake. ] Mm. Sorry. None of expected to come back that beat up.
[ Wild. Yuri thinks that's quite a situation, but also wonders about the collar. She doesn't think when she slowly raises her hand to touch it, feeling its texture and thickness. For a moment, her finger is about to hook onto it, but Yuri withdraws her hand. ]
... I don't think anyone does.
[ There's a small smile as Yuri goes to back to taping all over Shu's arms. ]
[ it's just-- something. to have died, been healed enough to keep going and then to be told you'd basically been dead on arrival. he still feels like a minor case of death warmed up though, with the time he's spent in the pod definitely only pushing him into the semi-ok category, but-- it's still strange. ]
...
[ he lets her prod at the collar though. he has some idea of what it is, but there's no worry or concern about the fact it's around his next. right now it's just an accessory and a reminder of where'd he been and what happened. ]
Are you trying to see how it comes off?
[ he'll hook his own finger in the collar to pull it out from his neck a little ]
[ It is certainly a new thing they can bond over... Yuri thinks about that and how unfortunate it must be. She wouldn't want this to be something in common with anyone.
Yuri is quiet for a while as she continues to use the tape very liberally. ]
... Yes.
[ She shakily sighs. ]
I'm... so glad to see that you're alive. If...
[ Her voice trails off as her hands pause. She's been looking down at his arms the entire time.
That moment. She didn't know whether to scream or try and process what had happened at the scene. She couldn't do either of them. ]
[ he lets the collar drop from under his finger to rest against his neck and lowers his arm so she can keep taping them up the smaller cuts and marks there. there's a lot, like something slashed across them in random motions, but none of them are bigger than than a grazing nick. ]
...
[ after a moment, he'll just lean forward to rest his forehead against hers, one of his hands shifting out of reach of yuri and her tape to reaching for one of hers, lifting it to press where his pulse is. where it beats, slow and steady. ]
If you focus on what could've happened, you'll spiral.
[ Yuri feels the pulse beat under her fingers. He's warm too, like someone that's alive. Shu is right—they all came back, but she finds herself crying anyway despite how their foreheads currently touch. ]
he wasn't expecting the crying, so he does the useless man thing of blinking like help what do i do. the answer is lifting his other hand to try and wipe away some of those tear with his thumb. ]
[ After Shu wipes away the tear, Yuri sniffles a little. How she wants to duck and wipe her own tears herself, but this sort of gesture is warm. Her arms don't move. ]
... You, in particular, gave me the biggest fright.
But also because her heart beats a little faster for something that isn't violence and terror-related for once. Her sole eye looks up to see Shu's and quickly flits back down.
shu looks a little surprised, but not bothered by the nuzzling? it's cute. it's affection week. it's nice. and then he looks like he's thinking about something for a moment, before he closes his eyes and sighs. ]

... [ well, she's not wrong. they absolutely did. ]
Yeah. Technically, I should be really dead, but-- whatever Eunhyuk did in there revived me.
[ haha ]
But all that healing didn't actually stick when we got out of there.

[ make it make sense
Yuri's expression turns solemn at the mention. ]
... Yes. I received Shoma's message to everyone that he found three corpses in the Mega Park and I thought you were dead.

Me?
[ that doesn't make him feel less guilty, actually. kinda worse, if he's being honest. ]
no subject
Yes, so I expect you to get well by tomorrow. More than... this.
[ ... ]
Please.
no subject
I said I'd go back in. I will.
[ shifting his hands now to hold onto hers. foreheads still touching. ]
I'm not going anywhere.
no subject
... Alright.
[ Yes, she's aware this time. It doesn't make her any less embarrassed, but her feelings of concern override all. ]
I think I'm done with your arms...
no subject
[ ......
yeah, he's not moving 😊 ]
no subject
But Yuri is actually content to just stay like this for a while until she realizes that she wants a hug more.

... Shu?
no subject
Yuri.

reaches up their still intertwined hands and pinches her cheek lightly. ]
If you have something you want to say, then say it. I'm not going to bite.
no subject
[ Hmph. Her face relaxes though. ]
I... just wanted to say that you're...
[ ......... ]
... important.
no subject
[ hmmm.
... ]
Important, huh?
no subject
[ But she won't take those words back. ]
no subject
Not really. You're pretty important too.
no subject
... Thank you.
[ Yuri will slowly pull away from the foreheads touching, but she does lean in again to lightly nuzzle the side of Shu's head that isn't burned. ]

I'm going to ask you something.
