He had a feeling he had already seen the young man next to him once or twice...maybe walking along his younger brother? Either way, Yūji couldn't just see him walking around like that.
"That car can't get sick at2yu least. Don't worry, I can't let you walk around all the way to the dorms."
The other was...cute. His face and especially the eyes made it impossible to look away. So...maybe they could at least talk for a bit.
"I'm Yūji. I teach a class or two sometimes for my degree, in case you're scared I'm just a random dude chatting you up."

A small package awaits Yuji when he returns home. The package is wrapped in a plastic, presumably in order to protect its contents from the rain it likely was subjected to on its way out from its origin.
Inside is a letter, carefully penned for legibility and folded to fit inside the envelope.
Yuji,
I got your letter, and your gift. I appreciate both of them very much. I've named the little guy Gecchouseki, since he's such a pretty gray color.
I miss you a lot. I hope by the time you're reading this you've returned home safely. Please get some rest, and then please come visit me again.
By the way, I made you something. I'm not exactly a master craftsman or anything, but... hopefully it's pretty enough to wear. And hopefully you can feel something from it.
I'll see you soon.
Yuichi
In another, smaller envelope, is a pair of small hairpins, connected by a thin but sturdy chain strung with glass beads of alternating lavender, light blue, and clear.
[this type of hair accessory, just with these simple beads etc as described]
"Yūji please open that package already, I'm going crazy if I don't know what causes those energies" with that, Fuyuki handed him said package, probably more curious than himself in that moment. The younger brother then left, leaving the man alone.
"I wonder who's that from.." he grins, already knowing while opening the letter.
"Gecchouseki huh? Cute" in every word he was able to imagine Yuichi writing these, a fond smile on his lips.
Then, he opened the second envelope which actually surprised him. Carefully, he viewed the beads, feeling them in his hand. Truly...he sensed something from them, a certain warmth. He wasn't usually the type to decorate his hair much but these ?
Yūji opened his white hair, brushed it before he turned to his mirror, as he tried to get a decent look. It matched him surprisingly well and he just had to tell Yuichi.
[Yūji]: *Photo of the pins in his hair*
[Yūji]: I like them a lot, thank you. I'll definitely wear them as a often as I can.
[Yūji]: Especially for dates...speaking of, I returned home. When are you free?
i never lied about how i felt. (yuichi -> yuji, any setting/verse you want, go wild)
[Historical AU, Edo period maybe? Sth else? huehue]
Maybe it wasn't the best move ...and Yūji knew that, deep down. His last relationship kept nagging at him, manipulating his new ones- and he really tried finding any reason why the other had acted this way.
Anything.
But he just couldn't think of any other reason why the smaller one more or less ...avoided him, finding excuses not to meet up even. The truth he was now presented was...not relieving at all.
An arranged marriage...
Yuichi really didn't lie about his feelings..he tried to save them both from an even bigger pain if they fell even deeper for each other. On Yūjis' part though, that was too late anyway.
"...I can't accept this, they can't do that to you. I- I mean isn't there any other way?" He was almost begging, looking like a lost boy despite his size.
Fuyuki left Yuichi alone some hours ago and they didn't hear anything for quite some time since. Yuji really wanted to keep his distance but...at least checking on him should be allowed?
A nice bath soothed a lot, so maybe that was a good idea. And if the other sage really declined, he'd just go in himself.
As the door finally opens, Yuji feels both relief and concern; Yuichi looked like he saw a ghost - well, he kinda did - and the worry was written on his soft face. It hurt not being able to do anything, but the taller man left it at that for now and smiled, handing over the cozy towels plus a bathrobe if needed.
"You can use any of the soap or haircare there if you need it." He opened the door for Yuichi once they arrived and revealed their bath. It had both a shower and a nice, western bathtub, Overall, the room was a mix of old and modern interior which complimented each other - designed to feel cozy in here.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me. I'll be in the room right next to this, finishing the laundry." He stayed for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say anything, but then just smiled once again and left.

[With @kowaindar0u from here] TW for mind control/ 'evil' Yuji
Spending time at a place, where even yokai became guests sometimes, such thing to happen was just a matter of time. Some feast on human flesh, so they were easy to ward off. Others though...needed negative feelings, angst. And what was a better source than a dream?
The Yuji in this dream was...different. The entity slipped into Yuichis mind to strike where it was useful. Controlling the version of someone he seemed to have feelings for..? Perfect.
A thumb traced over the lower lip of the smaller sage as violet eyes gazed upon the good behavior. "Did you just steal a kiss? That shy facade really hides some desires huh?" he tilted his head, bringing his face closer to the other. The yokai already sensed the spiking essence, glad to be in for a goof feast...
"I wonder if I can bring out that true side of you... desperate for any man thats looking good enough? Tell me, Yuichi, you just want this one thing, right?"
Ah...infusing someone with a version of themselves that was the complete opposite of the true self had just so much potential! "Give in. Show me what your impure mind wants."
A farewell was never something Yūji could take well - even if it meant parting ways just for a few days. He got so used to the place and especially the sage here...
He was ready to go - just until a hand reached for his wrist, crumbling all his determination to tiny specks of dust. Yet, the white haired smiled.
Such an act showed that the other trusted him and was ready to come out of his shell more, exploring own wants and needs. So he stayed for a moment longer and turned to the smaller one.
Yūji let his wrist slip out of the grab and cupped Yuichis face with both hands, stroking softly over the smooth skin of the cheeks. "I'm doing my work and will be back just this evening. Is that a deal?" He spoke softly. As much as he'd love to just stay, he missed his Honmaru too - the swords, his brother. And to not let everything fall back on the latter one, he had to regulary return. Sure, everything could always be going more smooth, but he was grateful how it was now.
