Day 49: Morning - Magus Park

[allroadslead]

Lingering around where the buses were parked made him feel too much like a lost tourist-especially with that woman looking at him like that-so Sam headed off to the park instead. Not too far since he knew Dean would want to see him. Not for anything specific, obviously. It'd just always been automatic to find each other after whatever crazy stuff

A faint, misty drizzle greeted Yue as he stepped off the bus and into the open air, and he lifted his face to frown briefly at the dark overcast above. What a lovely day for a field trip this was, wasn't it. Though he'd rather water falling from the sky than rotting corpses rising from the ground, given the option, so for the moment he wouldn't complain. Much.

Still, though, he'd made no plans for the day with anyone, as he likely should have. Perhaps Sakura had an idea, perhaps not, but no matter what his duty was to keep an eye on her. Alas that he didn't know where she was; in a crowd like this and with his powers altered and dampened the best he could hope for at the moment was tell if she was there at all. He moved over toward the edge of the growing crowd to wait, watching those climbing off the buses without bothering to lift the hood of his jacket against the damp.

Touya stepped off the bus and looked up at the cold, gray sky. He wrinkled his nose, and decided that the chances of getting an umbrella from the nurses was probably unlikely. They were probably afraid the patients would start beating townspeople with them, instead of actually using them for their intended purpose.

Shoving his hands discontentedly into his pockets, he looked around for Yuki. It didn't take him long: that long braid couldn't be missed even if he tried. The young man smiled to himself and strode up to them, hands still in his pockets.

"You're going to catch a cold like that," Touya said, the undertone of a laugh in his voice. He reached out to push the braid forward and the hood up.

For a moment surprise flickered across Yue's expression, though he made no move to avoid having his hair manhandled. He didn't catch colds -- normally. Here, though, he hadn't stopped to consider the idea that with so much changed that could be a possibility as well. The guardian blinked once, then silently drew back and allowed his other self to move to the fore.

"What about you?" Yukito asked, self-consciously lifting a hand to tug the hood forward a little farther. "Looks like they found something a little nicer for you to wear, but couldn't manage a hat?" From what he'd seen the choices of clothing for the Doyleton trip could be either nice or...unfortunate, and he had to admit that Touya looked rather nice today.

[guardiancomplex]

"Are you kidding? A hat would have ruined the whole look," Touya said with a small smirk. "She would've given me something... I don't know, huge and knitted. Though she did mention that she picked this out for your benefit."

He took a moment to take in what Yuki was wearing. Honestly it lo oked just as good from the front as it did from the back. They were a little mismatched (Touya looking like some businessman and Yuki looking like a punk kid in college), but he wasn't complaining. Yuki looked adorable in skinny jeans...

"You look good, too," he said. "You aren't too cold, right?"

[winged_moon]

"Did she?" Yukito was caught between being startled that the nurse knew anything about the two of them (or cared enough to do anything about it) and pleased that they had done something like that for him. And that Touya seemed pleased to show it off for him, too. Maybe this trip wasn't going to be completely awful...at least until nightfall

Touya smiled lightly at the quick fix of his collar, then followed Yuki's line of sight to the buses. He considered the option of finding Sakura, which would ensure that she would stay safe. And the last time he and Yuki had spent more time together than they'd intended, they hadn't gotten anywhere.

But the difference between now and the night was that now they had a great deal more time than they usually did. He slipped a hand underneath Yuki's jacket and curled a hand around his hip.

"We can catch up with her later," Touya said, pulling Yuki towards him slightly. "How about it? You want to go on a date with a straight-laced guy like me?"

[winged_moon]

A faint hint of scarlet crept over Yukito's cheeks at the gesture, and his smile widened as he quite willingly allowed himself to be drawn closer. Touya was right and Sakura could take care of herself -- she'd managed as much during every day at the Institute so far, hadn't she? Just being here in Doyleton was enough to make Yue nervous enough that he didn't entirely agree, but he wasn't arguing the point. That was enough.

"I don't know," Yukito replied, wrinkling his nose a little as his eyes glinted with mischief. "Would a dignified salaryman really want to be seen with a long-haired delinquent like me?" He flicked his braid with one hand to illustrate, failing to completely suppress the faint laugh that lay beneath the comment. Whoever picked their clothing certainly had gone for a bit of a contrast, hadn't they?

[guardiancomplex]

Touya laughed once, deeply amused by the strange game they'd begun now. It was... kind of fun, he had to admit.

"I don't know, I think you'd be worth a little disgrace. Though everyone at my office is going to talk about this for months. But I can handle them," he said. He stepped closer to Yuki, checking briefly to see if anyone was watching them.

"So what do you say? You want to spend the afternoon with me, Mr. Long-Haired Delinquent?"

Granted Touya had no idea where they were going to go, but he'd figure something out. They both would.

[winged_moon]

"I can't think of anything that I'd like more." And despite Yukito's mischievous grin, his tone was entirely sincere when he spoke. He likewise glanced around briefly, taking note of the small crowd around them and the location of the various staff members, then leaned in to quickly brush his lips across Touya's cheek.

With a soft laugh and faint blush at his daring, he quickly drew back again and reached for Touya's hand. "Come on, let's get out of the rain," he suggested, already starting to move away even as he spoke.

After Yuki managed to sneak a kiss in, Touya felt a faint blush rise to his own cheeks. Damn he was lucky someone else hadn't seen how great Yuki was--how he made anyone with him feel so important.

He found Yuki taking his hand and suggesting they go someplace drier. Touya had to agree. He didn't much care for getting sopping wet when there wasn't a handy set of spare clothes.

"Lead the way," he said with a small smile, letting Yuki pull him along.
