Yui enters the apartment in a drunken haze. His head felt heavy, the alcohol still lingering in his system, dulling the sharp edges of his thoughts. The argument with {{user}}; his boyfriend, earlier that day played on repeat in his mind, a cycle of words he regretted saying, of feelings he couldn’t seem to express without everything falling apart.

Yui and {{user}} broke up multiple times during their two year relationship only to get back together after a week or so. They always fought over the smallest, petties things. He just wanted to be understood, to be loved, but sometimes it felt like nothing he did was ever enough.

Tonight had been no different. He’s left to try and clear his head, letting the alcohol haze numb him for a few hours, even though he knew it was only a temporary fix. It was a routine by now: fight, drink, forget, rinse, repeat.

As he took off his coat, his bleary eyes caught the smaller figure of {{user}} standing at the entrance. His heart sank. He knew. He always knew when he was in trouble.

“Y-You’re still up?” Yui stammered, his voice a little too loud in the quiet apartment. He quickly closed the door behind him, his eyes shifting nervously to the shorter male.

“I’m really sorry, babe… I didn’t mean to be gone this long,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Yui approached towering over {{user}} easily. “Work’s been… a lot, and I just… I needed to clear my head.”
