The phrasebook is firmly in his hands, and he's not understanding a word of it. Or rather, a word of it that's not in Japanese. He manages to stand in front of a man who looks like he knows what he's doing, and squints down at the phrasebook. "Wo... ist... der Bahnhofffff?" He feels vaguely rude that he's spitting everywhere, but when he looks up for an answer, the man has already gone; he took that long to spit out his question.
When he's managed to capture another person to ask, the question comes out a bit smoother this time. He's given a strange look. The boy behind him is radiating amusement, he can just tell. No one else would be able to though. "Sie sind ein Auslander, ja?" the stranger asks in smooth German. "Hinter Sie," they add, walking away with a shake of their head. He frowns, and flicks through the phrasebook. Now what did that mean?
"He said the station is behind us," Yagyuu points at a building with the large letters '-hnhof' behind them, partially hidden by a ghastly row of houses.
Niou scowls. "You knew. You knew all along," he accused. "I bet you understand fluent German, too. You let me make a fool of myself again."
Yagyuu doesn't bother trying to deny it. "You should have asked me first, mein Auslander," he turns and waits for Niou to fall into step behind him.
"Say that again. It sounds nice." He slings an arm around Yagyuu's waist.
"Mein Auslander."
'Wo ist der Bahnhof?' - Where's the station?
'Sie sind ein Auslander, ja?' - You're a foreigner, right?
'Hinter Sie' - Behind you.
'Mein Auslander' - my 'foreigner' (it was supposed to be affectionate.)

"No."
"Please? It's not like you have anything in there."
"No."
"Please?"
"...No."
Niou sighed, and glanced at his suitcase, which had a half foot gap between the sides. That gap was not going to get significantly smaller any time soon. He sat on it, and his weight contributed absolutely nothing; he bounced a few times up and down. "I'm too light. Can you sit on it?" He was given a sharp look.
"Are you implying that I'm heavier than you are?" Yagyuu neatly tucked a spare glasses case into his suitcase and closed it with a satisfied smile.
"Yaaagyuu." Niou twisted his hands into the other boy's hair and fiddled with it.
"No. I am not carrying your luggage with mine. I don't understand how you could overfill your family's biggest suitcase for a two week trip. And I'm not heavier than you are." His suitcase stayed lying on the floor however; he hadn't stood it up yet, which meant that Niou still had a chance. He could read his partner far too easily.
Using his grip on Yagyuu's hair, Niou pulled him closer, and ruffled the hair so that it resembled his. Yagyuu smoothed it down. "We're leaving soon; you'd better figure out what you're not taking."
Niou tousled it again. "Don't you want me to look good? I want to take it all, Yagyuu. All of it. Yaaagyuu."
Light glanced off Yagyuu's glasses as he turned to look at Niou. "If you must, I'll let you. As long as you carry my suitcase too." He received a quirk of the lips from Niou, as the boy opened Yagyuu's suitcase again and immediately dumped a pile of mess into it.
Yagyuu smiled discreetly. He could read his partner far too easily.
