The Talk*

-So? What did you find out?

Emily asked the moment Yuzuru got home from his afternoon practice.
He began to take off his shoes and she didn't like the solemn expression that was all over his face.

-He doesn't have any feelings for her, does he?

-I don't know.

Yuzuru said with a sigh and gave her a welcome kiss, aiming straight to the dining table that was already set.

-Well, "I don't know" is better than a "no", I guess.

Emily noted as she sat down, Yuzuru following right after and hungrily eyeing the dinner but with the same concerned look.

-So what did he tell you when you asked him?

Yuzuru sighed, plating the food for himself, and told Emily everything he got out of Javi. Which to his disappointment wasn't much. Apparently, he decided to prolong his stay once more, but only due to the recommendation of Brian to show him properly all preparations that need to be done before a major competition. Therefore he will be staying only a week longer than he planned but return back to Spain while they will be already at the first competition of the season. And Javi will join them for the next one, but fly directly to the location without a stop in Canada.

-Hm, great. And how does he feel about Nyx?

-I don't know. He was incredibly evasive. I don't get it. He said that he never planned for it to become anything more, but that he is sorry to leave her.

-And that was it?!

-Yeah. What about Nyx?

Now it was Emily's turn to sigh and she began to cut her chicken stake with a slightly more force than was needed.

-She didn't say much either. She kept repeating that she doesn't care. But I could tell she does. Only she just didn't want to talk about it not to seem weak, quite typical of her, unfortunately.

-Hm. Then there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it if they are both pretending nothing is going on.

-But they were hooking up for over four months! There must be some feelings involved. Even from Javi's side.

-I wouldn't bet on it.

Emily huffed and as Yuzuru watched her, he wondered if he should point out that the chicken on her plate is already dead and there is no need of killing it all over again. But then he thought "better the chicken than me" and let it be.

-So? Do you like it?

-I love it!

Yuzuru exclaimed as Emily was turning around, showing him her new haircut.
Just below her chin, exactly the same one she had when they met.
He came closer, abruptly stopping her spinning, and pulled her hips to his. He could see how her breath hitched as he did that, possibly anticipating something more than he was planning.
But he only raised his hand and ran his fingers through her smooth, perfectly straight hair, feeling as if his hand was running through a stream of water.
He did it few times, watching his hand going through the silky hair with fascination until he was suddenly interrupted by Emily's lips on his.

He began to chuckle and that soon turned into laughter when her hands slid down to the buckle of his trousers.
Yuzuru kept kissing her back in between the laughter and kept pushing her hands away from him, yet they always returned, twisting from his grip and trying to reach the buckle again and again.
After a moment, he gave up being nice and gripped her wrists tightly, and folded her arms behind her.
