One of his hands shifts around to the base of Sanji's neck, rubbing lightly at the nape. ]
Ah. [ He can put a name to a face now. And... well. That's good then. They're close, and if you've got something picking at your weaknesses, you need support from someone you know. ] That's good then. You weren't dealing with that entirely alone.
[ Yusuke can't help but chuckle at that. The "well, someone has to to" is unspoken, but definitely there.
And then he sort of... rolls his head slightly to look at Sanji. ]
I'll have to say thank you then. I assume you were planning on avoiding the conversation for as long as possible, otherwise?
[ It's accompanied by a light pinch to the crook of Sanji's elbow. There's no point in getting annoyed when they've had the conversation anyway -- getting mad would be a waste of energy. ]
[He knows Yusuke's pinching in jest, but he chooses an honest answer for once in his life. Meeting Yusuke's look, he reaches over, smoothing some of the other's bangs out of his eyes.]
Okay, for the record, I didn't wanna ignore you. [Huffing a sigh] But yeah, he... might've had to threaten to call you first to finally get my ass out the door.
If youâd been ignoring me I wouldâve asked why, if it was ongoing. But still, if itâs involving your own health and well-being...
[ Heâd hope that he wouldnât have waited until he was on deathâs door to come along and have this conversation in some way, shape or form. Still, he ended up here one way or another. ]
If the mark is fading does that mean youâre feeling a little better...?
And... yeah. [Pulling his hand away from Yusuke's bangs, he presses the back of his hand against his forehead, gauging his own temperature.] Don't feel as hot? I think?
How is my finding you to check up on you âterrifyingâ...?
[ He stares for a moment, before sliding his hand under Sanjiâs and pressing it palm down to his forehead, feeling slightly cooler skin there. If he had a fever, itâs definitely cooling. ]
[NOPE he's not answering that question, only offering a wide grin as Yusuke checks his temperature. He'll dislodge the hand from his forehead after that, shaking his head a little and disrupting his bangs, but that's only so he can return to resting it against Yusuke's shoulder again.]
[ Mm. Thatâs that then. Heâs warm and cosy; heâs not about to be down one boyfriend due to said boyfriendâs stupidity and hopefully no one else will be barrelling through the living room looking for games consoles, so... itâs tempting to give into that weary, sleepy feeling now. It feels safe to.
...
Or it will do, after he tweaks Sanjiâs ear. ]
Still not fluent in French. ă I will just revert to Japanese, surely weâve done this enough times by now... ă

[God, Yusuke, let him be a terrible human being when he wants to be?? He smirks into Yusuke's shoulder, amused -- maybe even pleased.]
And yeah, Baren's got his own ways of helping.
... He made sure I got over here, too.

No, I would agree. Youâre cooling down.
