24th, around late afternoon. Either or both is fine!

[alphaspider]

He should really stop pestering these kids, Kuroro told himself, because they weren't the same children that Kuroro had pestered before for very particular reasons, and that took out the fun of it. But Kuroro was a man with very little self-restraint when it came to these things, if at all. So on the afternoon of the 24th, straight from his and Kurapika's mission in Canada, Kuroro found himself making his way to room 4D with a light step, a whistle, and a bag of strawberries as a peace offering.

Kuroro knocked on the door and poked his head in, looking for all the world like an innocent neighbor who had just had a tumble in a forest with a werewolf-like kishin egg. He was newly showered and dressed, but that was a rather large bruise on his jaw.

"Hello," he called smilingly.

Sorry for the delay, I had/have death flu! D:

Another knock. Figures it would come while Souji was finally taking a few moments for himself. Yosuke couldn't find it in himself to be too bitter about having to get up, not when he'd been the one to all but force Souji to take a shower break. With substantial reluctance, Yosuke left his blanket nest behind and stumbled to the door. He looked like he could use a shower break himself.

"Hey, who is-"

Yosuke was rubbing his eye when he opened the door, and it delayed his reaction just a hair. That man...that was the man from his comm, wasn't it? The one who-

Strawberries. Yosuke's perpetual being-sick-sucks scowl suddenly shifted into a more genuine one.

"...Oh."

DDD: Are you better now?

[alphaspider]

"What are you doing up?" Kuroro asked, stepping in at seeing that Yosuke was awake (not that he didn't know, since he had listened, but it was only polite, right?). He put the strawberries down on the kitchen table and made ushering gestures to get Yosuke back to bed, looking down at the kid and noting the flushed cheeks.

This Yosuke seemed a little different from what Kuroro remembered. Although, he mused to himself, the Yosuke back then hadn't been sick when they'd met. Still, Kuroro had noticed a strange moroseness from the first entry that this one had made, and it was still here, even after the kid was already being babysat by Souji. Maybe Kuroro's reading was just off? Not likely, but it was possible.

Not really, but I'm pushing through! Sorry for late tags, hon ;;

"Hey, this isn't my place, y'know-"

Yosuke's shoulders slumped, glowering uselessly at Kuroro's back with all the energy he could muster. Which was to say, not much. At the man's wordless insistence, Yosuke slowly plodded a course back to the couch, eying him warily over his shoulders.

"Strawberries? Seriously? I thought you agreed to let that stupid joke go, I don't even get it."

DDD: I can wait, don't worry about me! /slow forever also

"It was on sale," he grinned. "And the only other fruit I saw on my way here was a bunch of coconuts. You wouldn't have liked that very much if you had to carve it yourself."

So maybe the latter part was halfway a lie. The stall had also had some oranges, but those were more boring in comparison.

"Come on, you don't have to get up for me. Where's Sou?"

<333333 ;~;

Yosuke just rolled his eyes. Sure it was. Just like the black eye was a total accident.

"Souji is in the shower," Yosuke explained, with a tinge of sourness. "Someone had to get the door."

[alphaspider]

With Kuroro, nothing was ever really an accident. Unless it was. Kuroro decidedly liked accidents, though.

"That's nice of you," he commented with an overly friendly grin and sat down on the coffee table. "Can I get you something? Maybe something sweet." Since Yosuke's face was being all puckered up, anyway.

[lets_go_partner]

Yosuke looked rather out of sorts and grumpy, even surrounded by brightly colored quilts. He'd been expecting Kuroro to take a chair, at least. The coffee table put a decidedly small amount of space between them. Maybe he could cough and get him sick, too...

"...Not sure I should be eating sweet things," Yosuke mumbled darkly, unwilling to budge even an inch in his moodiness.

[alphaspider]

That was all right. Yosuke's hair matched the colorfulness!

"It helps if your throat is sore or something. Besides, if I'm sick, I like to eat things that I want to eat," Kuroro replied with a chuckle and an amused expression on his face, feasibly the only one actually at ease in the room. He was aware that he was making Yosuke grumpier, but if Kuroro let those things bother him, he wouldn't be Kuroro at all.
