⠀⠀⠀"But we resolved this already! That can't possibly be it!"

⠀⠀⠀"Honestly, Yuu-san, you should just ask Mika-san himself. Don't beat around the bushes looking for answers and assume things that might hurt the both of you. No matter what, I'm sure he'll tell you the truth." Shinoa advised seriously, twirling a strand of her lavender tresses around her thin finger. "You'll both be back to idiots in love after you both talk about it."

⠀⠀⠀Yuichiro closed his eyes as he bit back a retort, grinning irritably. She really could be tease, and it was one hell of a pain, but he loved her anyway. She and Mitsuba was always there when he really needed it and not even a hundred of her remarks could change how truly grateful he was. He stood up, collecting his items and leaving his devil of a drink behind. "Thanks, guys. I'll see you later." Shinoa and Mitsuba stood up after him, and they both left a friendly kiss on opposite cheeks as a sign of good luck.

⠀⠀⠀Before he could leave, Shinoa grabbed his wrist rapidly. He eyed her warily. "Hm?"

⠀⠀⠀"Yuu-san, please be careful."

⠀⠀⠀When Yuichiro drove home, it was currently five, the moment in time Mikaela would most likely be cooking dinner while listening to both of their favorite songs. He could usually hear it blasting through the door, and the lights would be on as if peaked out of the window and spraying its bright rays onto the driveway. But today, Yuichiro didn't see that. Instead, their apartment complex stayed completely silent and still, only the faint chirps of birds and cars zooming by. There appeared to be no lights on either, and that's what made the raven feel nervous.

⠀⠀⠀"Is he even home?" Yuichiro asked to no one in particular. He gulped inwardly, building up the courage to unlock the door and expect for the worst. With short strides, the raven climbed the stairs up to their apartment room, using the room key to open the door. He was utterly surprised to see the rooms clean as they'd left it before, but no Mikaela was in sight. Yuichiro walked deeper into the dwelling, turning his head left and right as he searched for his lover. He would've assumed that the blond wasn't home, perhaps taking another walk around the town. But he hadn't searched their bedroom, and he wasn't going to assume.

⠀⠀⠀Quietly, he made his way down the small hallway, stopping just behind their door and giving two knocks. "Hello? Mika, are you in there?"

⠀⠀⠀He received no reply.

⠀⠀⠀Now, he was even more nervous than before to the point it was rising into panic and terror. He couldn't imagine where he could be, what could be happening, and just thinking about it created Yuichiro's instincts to act on their own, and he flung the door open with maximum force. "Mika!" He screeched at the top of his lungs.

⠀⠀⠀Yuichiro's eyes met with the familiar, drenched blond tresses of his lover, and he sighed in relief. He looked to have gotten out of the bath, currently drying his hair with a small white towel. Mikaela ruffled his hair, staring puzzled at the raven breathing heavily in front of him. "Yuu-chan, you're home early. What happened?" Yuichiro recognized the voice, but the tone wasn't the usual. It sounded stiff, cold, and non-Mika. No matter what words came from his lips, he knew this person wasn't who he really was; the Mikaela he knew.

⠀⠀⠀"Why didn't you say anything? You scared the living shit out of me!"

⠀⠀⠀"Sorry," Mikaela muttered. "Can't really say anything two rooms away from you."
