[Haru doesn't vocalize her agreement, but does nod against him. As much as she can, at least. She thought she wanted to be alone, but the moment Yusuke hugged her, Haru knew that wasn't the case. She didn't want to be alone at all, not in this moment she feared the most.]
A-Are they home?
[His roommates, she means. While she doesn't want to be alone, that doesn't mean she wants everyone to see the crying mess she is right now.]
[She... feels a little bad, running Akira off if he's taking the room. But.]
Okay.
[Akira's a close friend of hers, but Yusuke's practically family. The tattoo they share is their proof of that.]
I'll... have to apologize, if he has to leave. But I think I'm ready to go.
[Only thinks, because she doesn't really want to leave this embrace. And there's no way she's leaving Lavande behind, out in the open for anyone to take.]
He'll be alright, I'm sure. You wouldn't have to explain.
[ At the very least, he'll find a way to make it clear the need for privacy and calm for a while without sharing Haru's secrets with the entire house. ]
Okay. Here-- [ He keeps an arm wrapped around Haru's shoulder, and puts one hang on Lavande's handlebars. ] -- Let's go.
[She'll have to explain sometime, for sure. Haru's resolved to tell everyone about herself, starting with her mother, and just because that didn't work out as well as she hoped doesn't mean her resolve has crumbled. It just needs a bit of time to strengthen again.
She takes a moment to see what Yusuke's doing, and... she does crack a smile, albeit a small one, at the fact that he knows how much she cares about her moped and has taken it into consideration. Still, the whole situation makes that smile fade soon after, and she lets out a heavy sigh as she wraps one arm around his waist, the other holding Lavande's handlebars as well, just so that he doesn't have to do all the work.]
Alright.
[And away they go. She's... not really sure how far the house is, but she doesn't feel like filling the silence right now.]
[ Sometime. But not right now, if she's not ready to right now, then there's no urge, force or need to.
He squeezes the arm around her slightly as they walk. It's cold, and quiet, but not inhospitable just because they aren't talking. It's comfortable and familiar, and breaking it feels wrong.
It's not far to his home from here - a little longer, now he's not running, but still a reasonable distance. Enough that it feels like moments before he's digging through his pockets for his house keys, having to let go of Haru and the moped at the same time. It won't take him long to get the door open, letting out a welcoming beam of light and warmth from the interior. ]
[When Yusuke lets go, Haru decides to bring her moped to its designated area, where it always goes when she comes here. When she returns to his side, the door opens, and the light inside is warm and welcoming. It's like a second home, and it is.
But it makes her think of her first home. Her mother, her cats, her garden, her flowers. Her mother hasn't kicked her out or anything, but the idea is still there deep inside. Yusuke had seen the nightmare she had, after all. Haru keeps teetering on the edge of giving in to that fear or holding steadfastly on to the thought that her mother really does just need time, that they can talk later.
She takes in a hitched breath and shuts her eyes tight, the burning sensation of tears returning behind them. One hand covers her eyes, the other reaches to hold Yusuke's hand.]
[ It's like an automatic reaction to take Haru's hand and squeeze it tightly. ]
There isn't anything to apologise for. Are you okay to go inside, or do you need a moment?
[ The house is still there. It'll remain, as will the warmth and familiarity, until she wants to go in and comfort herself there. Even if she doesn't, it's there. ]
[She hates how there's a small part of her that feels like she deserves to be out here. She knows it's wrong, that it's just a product of all her worries and fears, but it rings loud in her head. You let her down, you disappointed her, why couldn't you just be normal?
It's wrong, it's wrong, and Haru knows it. It's because of that, and the fact that she doesn't want Yusuke to be stuck out here with her, that she nods, though she has to take a moment to actually find her voice again.]

chocolate temporarily helps with a number of issues. He'll do anything right now. ]
All right. But you're coming back with me, that's non-negotiable.

I can message Akira and see if he's staying with Goro, or if he'd mind using the spare room for one night. He won't pry.

Inside it is then.
[ He's going to be shutting that door immediately, as soon a she's in. To keep the heat in and to start on getting Haru warm again. ]
