misfortunes_foolThe thing about being stuck in a world that was build on dream, of watching the ebb and flow of time and people come and go, meant that eventually... you lost everyone.
Some came back, more than once, and sometimes they even remembered you.
Others... well, you could hope and you could pray to gods that you don't really believe in, or you could do like Yuui and spend all of your time studying magic from all the worlds that touched the one you were stuck in.
And you would do so in the same house you've always had, on that sliver of a chance that one of those important people would eventually find their way home. And that's just what Yuui's doing on a breezy spring morning.
Or rather, he's dozing off, beneath the newly budded leaves of his favorite shade tree, a book on Valerian history sliding down his lap. Just another endless morning, in an endless world.
Nothing more... or so he thought.

He reached out to catch his twin's waif-like form, both his arms wrapping protectively around his twin's frame as he settled his brother in his lap. He couldn't help but bury his face in the crook of that small shoulder, breathe in the impossible scent of new frost and warm sunlight as he shook his head.
"Don't, Fai. There's no need. It wasn't your fault any more than it was mine. They couldn't control the gates into this world anymore then than they can now. I'm just... just glad to have you here once more."

Yuui. The smeel of Yuui, the warm solid bulk of Yuui, the smell of him, which hadn't changed through three hundred years, through death and starvation and blood and a thousand worlds' travel. Yuui.
"...Yuui," Fai whimpered, bent back by his unwillingness to let go, turning into his twin in a perfect mirror, "W-was it a long time? It felt like..."
Such a strange sensation— a loss for words. Fai sniffed and held tighter, secure in the knowledge that Yuui would never willingly let him go.
