[ 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. ]

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. ]
no subject

...
I'm going to ask you something.
no subject
... Yes?
no subject
If I kiss you, is it gonna freak you out?
no subject
Yuri stares at Shu. He can probably feel his hands being squeezed out of sheer nervousness, but her face is turning as red as her hair. ]
Huh? Um... you... you would kiss me? W-Why?
[ If this is a joke, she's going to die off schedule. ]
no subject
Because I want to?
[ the logic is simple, really. ]
no subject
I... not too much, I think...
[ Since Shu let her panic beforehand. Thanks, bro. ]
