Yuu and Guren climbed up the metal steps. Both with arms full of stacks of paper. Yuu had lots to fill out after getting a cursed gear, and somehow Guren ended up helping Yuu carry it back to his apartment.

Guren placed himself at the table chair, propping his feet up on it. "Hey kid, get me something to drink." "Huh? Get your own drink, Stupid Guren!" Yuu exclaimed as he himself got a drink from the fridge. "Didn't four years of training teach you any sort of courtesy or manners? Idiotic Brat!" Guren said with an amused smirk on his face. "I might not have manners, but at least I take responsibility for my friends, and don't let them die." Guren got quiet, and just looked down.

(Yuu's POV)

Crap! Why did I say that? Now he's upset. "Here." I set a soda in front of him and rubbed his shoulder to try to say sorry.

(A Little While Later)

What time is it? How did I end up in bed? Wait what! Why is Guren lying next to me? Oh yeah, I flopped in bed reading those papers. Then Guren sat on the bed reading some documents. We must've fallen asleep at some point. Wait a minute the sheets are wet.

(3rd person POV)

Guren's pants were soaked, and so was the surrounding area. He was sweating and looked like he was in discomfort. Yuu didn't notice, so he shouted, "Hey stupid Guren! Wake up, looked what you did in my bed. You'll never live this one dow..." Guren's eyes popped open. He appeared distressed and tears leaked from his eyes. He tried speak while not sounding like he was crying. "I, I, I'm so sorry Yuu. I'll clean it up, and, and..." Yuu leaned over and pulled Guren in, holding him in his arms. "Don't worry about that. Just please stop crying." Yuu whispered in a much more soothing tone than earlier.

Guren clung onto Yuu, burying his face in Yuu's chest and shoulder. "Was it a nightmare?" Yuu asked. "Yeah, well more like a flashback. I don't want to talk about it." Guren replied once he calmed down. "Go take a shower. It's alright, I'll clean this up. I have some clothes that should fit you on the top shelf." Yuu insisted.

(Guren's POV)

Damn it! Why tonight of all nights did I have to remember that! Why did I see their deaths from eight years ago? This may be the most embarrassing situation that I have ever experienced. I can't believe that me, at 23 years old, wet the bed in front of Yuu. And broke down crying on top of that, and the kid had to comfort me. What will he think of me, I wouldn't blame him if he never respects me again.

I got out of the shower and put those clothes on. It's a white T-shirt and boxers, actually the shirt is even a little big on me. I walk out into the hallway and see Yuu heating something up in his old, silver microwave.

(Yuu's POV)

I'd never seen Guren like that before. It was kinda shocking. After I took my grey sheets off, and put some softer green ones on, I figured he was hungry, so now I'm heating up leftovers. I feel bad, Guren always has to play the adult, he never gets to be the one getting taken care of. So just for tonight, I'll completely dote on him. But once morning hits, he'll be Stupid Guren again.

Oh, it looks like he just got out of the shower.

(3rd Person POV)

Yuu set two plates of curry on his cheap table as Guren wandered out with a towel still around his neck. "Curry? At twelve in the morning?" "Yup, come sit. I'm sure you're hungry. But don't get too excited, it's just an instant pack I mixed up the other day." Guren's stomach rumbled, his cheeks flushed red. "Okay" he answered.

Yuu chewed away, kind of spacing off into his own world. "Hey Yuu" "Bwhad tis yit?" Yuu said with his mouth full. "Listen closely, this is the only time I'll say it. So thank you. Thank you for tonight, and for always being there, it, it means a lot to me. And I know this might not mean the most anymore, since I'm sure you don't think much of me, and I can see why." "What are you talking about?! You mean the world to me Guren, and I think the world of you too. I always have and always will. You were the one that saved me. You're always there for me when I need it. So don't you dare talk like that!" Tears gleamed over Guren's eyes, he smiled and they finished eating.

The two climbed back into bed, they lied close to each other, staring up at the ceiling. Neither once said anything, probably because they were too tired. Before long Guren had fallen asleep, much more peacefully than before. Yuu leaned over Guren, and kissed him on the lips. "Goodnight Stupid Guren, I love you."
