Whatās this?? Another WIP??
this time its YuriLuke bc i ordered tales of reve unitia like the impulsive asshole i am. Also Tales of Rays skits just reignited my love for them
YuriLuke Nurse Me?
āIām fine,ā Yuri insists.
Luke just rolls his eyes as Yuri tries to hold back a cough, to no avail. It is wet and long and gross. When Luke pushes Yuri down onto his soft, silk-covered bed, Yuri finds he doesnāt have any strength to resist him.
āIsnāt he the worst sick person?ā Flynn says from the door.
āNot sick,ā Yuri says.
āWell what do you call this then?ā Luke says as he passes Yuri another tissue. Yuri sneezes into it once, twice, and before long the sopping mess is more snot than tissue. Luke hands him a waste basket to toss it into.
āAllergies.ā
āYou donāt have allergies,ā Flynn says.
āYou donāt know that for sure,ā Yuri argues.
āIāve known you since you were five, Yuri. You donāt have any allergies. Not for lack for trying-ā
āAll right,ā Guy cuts in. āCome on Flynn. Letās let Yuri get some rest. We can go do some sword practice. Werenāt you saying your captain showed you a new move?ā
Thank Lorelai for Guy, Luke mentally notes to himself. While Flynn and Yuri are great friends, the best of friends, they are the kind that goad each other into doing really dumb things. Like trying to prove to the other that Yuri is so not sick really guys donāt sit around when theyāre sick. And soon.
āHere,ā Luke says, handing Yuri the glass he keeps by his bedside. With Guyās raid of the kitchen, itās filled with orange juice.
Yuri grumbles, but takes it, downs the whole thing in one go. It almost clears his throat out and for a short while he breathes normally again.
āStay here,ā Luke says. āUntil you get better.ā
āI canāt,ā Yuri says. Even though he is no longer āthat homeless orphan boyā, he is now āthat failure of a White Knightā. Heās no more welcome in the Fabre household now than he was before. Itās just that Duke Fabre knows his face on sight and he can occasionally bribe his old squad mates into letting him in through the front door.
āNo one ever comes in here,ā Luke says. āYouāll be fine.ā
āReally?ā Yuri coughs out. Luke pours and hands him another cup of juice and this one, Yuri nurses. āDoesnāt your dad come sometimes?ā
āNot as long as I am where Iām supposed to be.ā
āAnd where are you supposed to be right now?ā Yuri asks.
āHere, duh. Itās like four in the morning.ā
āIt is?ā The last thing Yuri remembers was eating lunchā¦yesterday apparently.
āYeah. Normal people are asleep now. Sick people should be asleep right now.ā
The more he lies there, in Lukeās soft and expensive bed, the harder he is finding it to protest. Heās never slept on sheets so smooth and clean.
āScoot over,ā Luke says, poking him in the side.
When Yuri shifts, Luke quickly snuggles in after him. At first, Lukeās hands and feet feel like ice, but after the initial shock, they feel so soothing. Yuri comes to the realization that he is uncomfortably hot and moves to push some of the blankets down.
Luke stops him, just snuggling closer.
āYouāre gonna get sick,ā Yuri slurs out, half asleep.
āI donāt get sick,ā Luke says. āNot like some people who donāt know not to sitout in the rain all night.ā
And sure enough, a few days later, Luke is as active as ever, despite having lain alongside Yuriās disease-ridden body for several days. Which is just unfair, Yuri thinks, still sniffling, as Luke shoves another glass of orange juice into his hand.
Stupid rich kids.
57. Sacrifice
Luke is alive.
Heās still shaking, and has been since the Tower. Yuri understands.
Luke is alive and sitting right next to him.
Heās almost silent, turning the Jewel of Lorelai over and over again. He startles when someone speaks too loud. Yuri sits next to him, trying to be a reassurance, trying to ground him.
They are in the very back of the Albioreās cabin. Guy and Flynn are in front of them, talking in hushed voices and fielding anyone who tries to disturb them. Tear and Natalia each look upset, but they donāt offer much protest.
Luke is alive. He has the devilās luck.
Yuri takes one of his hands and holds it tightly. Luke looks up at him, forces a smile, and goes back to staring into space. But his hand does squeeze Yuriās and Yuri takes it as a small victory.
He has a feeling they are going to be needing it.
Guy, Anise, Tear, and Natalia all seem so happy. They seem a bit confused by the depressing silence in the back of the Albiore.
Jade, as always, is hard to read. But Yuri thinks Jade is still worried. Perhaps worried by the same thing that Yuri is.
Yuri almost wishes Patty was there. They had had to leave the girl back in Yulia City. Jade wasnāt sure how close to replica her structure was and didnāt want to risk it. Patty had protested, but Luke had also made a quiet request and she had given in.
Patty had the ability to make Luke smile, no matter what. She seemed to understand him in ways Yuri never could. She was a fellow replica, though she had not been created to replace someone.
But she isnāt there and Yuri is.
Yuri hadnāt thought of what heād say to Luke after. Neither of them had even thought that there might be an āafterā. Yes, they still needed to stop Van and release Lorelai, but that had always been a distant goal. In his mind, Yuriās immediate future had ended with Luke.
And then it hadnāt. Luke was alive and they would move forward together.
The devilās luck, Yuri thinks. And what did the devil usually ask in exchange?
The thing is, Yuri doesnāt have good luck. Even when heās riding high, he knows to prepare for the inevitable fall that is sure to follow. And it always, always follows.
Luke keeps staring at his hands. Heās alive and staring at his hands and lost in his own head. Yuri canāt think of anything to say to pull him out of it.
Then, suddenly, the feeling of Lukeās hand in his own is gone.
Itās a split moment, not even a second. Had it been in any other situation, Yuri would have brushed it off.
But it isnāt any other situation. Yuri is watching, waiting for the fall. And even though it ends and Lukeās hand is solid within his own once again, Yuri is afraid this might be the beginning.
It starts just like any other morning. Luke grumbles as Yuri rolls out of bed before falling back asleep. Itās still mostly dark outside, with only the hint of the sun on the horizon.
Jade is, unsurprisingly, awake already. If Yuri hadnāt slept in the same room as the man more than once, he would almost believe Jade didnāt sleep at all. Jade has a cup of coffee and the newspaper. He doesnāt acknowledge Yuri as Yuri makes his way to the kitchen.
Peony had offered to have their meals brought to them, but Yuri enjoys cooking. Itās relaxing, something he finds himself needing more and more often these days.
Luke had refused Peonyās offer before Yuri could himself though.
āNo thanks,ā heād said. āYuri makes the best omelets!ā
Yuri canāt help but grin at the memory. It would be omelets for breakfast today then!
One by one, the rest of the gang trails in. Thereās a pattern to it, and Yuri cooks accordingly. Jade first of course, but Guy is always close behind him. Then Patty, Flynn, and Tear. Ion and Anise always come in at the same time, and the royals are always the last ones awake.
Nataliaās almost done with her breakfast when Yuri realizes the dish he set out for Luke is getting cold. Yuri picks up both Lukeās plate and his own and heads back to their room.
But Luke isnāt in their room, or the bathroom. Yuri starts to search the other rooms.
It turns out there is a small sitting room at the other end of the suite, opposite the kitchen and main living area. Luke and Repede are both there, but the sight makes Yuri pause.
āWhat on earthā¦ā
Repede is wearing a little pair of wings on his back, next to a quiver. Heās also wearing what can only be called a diaper, though there is a hole cut in it for his tail. Yuri would have expected his friend to be annoyed about the goofy outfit, but Repede seems positively chipper.
āNow Repede!ā says a voice.
Yuri watches as Repede takes an arrow from the quiver and hurls it in his direction with his usual pin-point accuracy. It smacks Yuriās fore-head, dead center, and sticks.
āBullās-eye!ā
āYou are so lucky I didnāt drop this,ā Yuri tells Luke flatly. Before his boyfriend and his dog get any more ideas, Yuri sets both plates on the table.
A table covered in a pink tablecloth. A vase of pink and red roses sits in the middle, and beside it sits a pink stuffed dog.
Yuri blinks.
Luke ignores the omelet ā ignores it! ā and throws himself at Yuri in a hug and a kiss.
āHappy Valentineās Day!ā Luke says.
All the pieces finally connect and Yuriās heart sinks. Their first Valentineās Day as a couple and of course he forgot.
He must have been silent too long, because Luke is looking up at him worriedly.
āYuri, you okay?ā
āYeah,ā he says, trying to shake it off. āHappy V-day, Luke. Letās eat.ā
āOoh, what did you make?ā
Repede disappears (Probably to go take that costume off. Cupid, Luke? Really?), leaving Yuri and Luke to enjoy their breakfast alone. Luke is telling Yuri about a weird dream had involving Jade, Asch, and a banana suit. The chairs are close together so Luke is basically leaning into Yuri the entire time, and it almost takes the edge off.
āOh,ā Luke says as they finish the last of the omelets, āthatās for you, by the way.ā
He hands Yuri the pink dog. Itās wearing a pink eye patch over its left eye.
āItās Repede, see? Except I had to use an eye patch because I couldnāt find a dog with a scar.ā
Itās kind of cute, in a demented sort of way.
āSorry,ā Yuri says.
āWhatās wrong?ā Luke says. āYou donāt like it?ā
āNo. Itās not that that.ā
Lukeās head is resting on Yuriās shoulder and Yuri rests his own head on top of Lukeās.
āI do like it. But I didnāt do anything for you. I forgot.ā
āIs that what youāre worried about?ā Luke says with a laugh. He takes Yuriās hand and twines their fingers together. āI kind of expected it, honestly. Flynn warned me. He said you used to forget your birthday before we started forcing those parties on you.ā
Yuri flushes a bit. So heās not great with dates. It wasnāt important. Before.
āLetās just go out and do something,ā Luke continues. āI got Anise and Natalia to convince Jade to agree to a day off. And I hear the waterfalls are kind of romantic.ā
Yuri is trying to figure out how to nicely put his boyfriend off the idea. When he looks down, he sees Luke looking up at him, a teasing smirk on his lips.
āYeah, no. Sparring?ā
āHell yeah! Let me grab my sword!ā
Luke dashes off, as though Yuri doesnāt also need to go back to their room for his own weapon. Yuri picks up the stuffed dog. He canāt help but smile at Lukeās ridiculousness. Nonetheless, when he goes to grab his sword, he tucks the dog deep into his bag.
No way he was letting Jade or Flynn see it. The teasing would never stop.

100 Themes of YuriLuke
54. Tower
Yuri is waiting for Luke when Luke finally gets back to their room. He doesnāt say anything as Luke takes off his coat and boots, slowly, as if to delay the inevitable. Repede lifts his head to watch but also keeps his silence. When Luke finally slides into Yuriās waiting arms, heās shaking.
Luke is absolutely silent but as he presses his face into Yuriās neck, Yuri can feel the tears rapidly escaping. Yuri allows him to cry in silence, gently stroking Lukeās head as he tries to think of something to say. Repede jumps up on the bed and lies down next to Luke. āI love you,ā Yuri says when Lukeās tears finally subside. Luke almost starts to cry again. Yuri heads him off with a kiss. They kiss until Luke is no longer shaking and Repede has left in order to give them some privacy. Luke kisses with a desperation heās never had before, as if it will keep tomorrow from coming. But then itās as if all the strength goes out of him and he collapses on top of Yuri. āIām sorry,ā Luke says. Yuri has to strain to hear him, but when he realizes what Luke has said, furry burns in him. āThis is not your fault. You donāt have to apologize,ā he says. Luke seems to be lost in his head when he says, āTear told me she wouldnāt forgive me for dying.ā Yuri understands where Tear is coming from. He doesnāt want Luke to die either. He wants Luke to do whatever it takes to keep living, even if it means that other people, people who have never cared about Yuri or the orphans of Baticul or Luke himself, might have to die. But Luke has made a choice and Yuri doesnāt want to be holding him back. Yuri suspects that at least part of Lukeās decision was based on the ever-present guilt for Akzeriuth. He wants to ask Luke to be truthful, if he really wants to do this thing of his own will. And yet⦠There is a kind of peace in Lukeā eyes that has been missing ever since that horrible moment. A contentment. Yuri had hoped to bring it back with love and kindness and attention to Luke, but that had not helped. So as much as Yuri wanted to pull Luke into his arms and never let go, he did the best thing he could. The responsible thing. The ārightā thing. āIāll miss you,ā he says. He punctuates his sentences with kisses, rather than periods, determined to squeeze as much as they could into the time remaining. āIāll always love you. Iāll never forget you. If this is what you want to do, then Iāll help you do it.ā No matter how much it hurt. No matter that it would basically be sacrificing Yuri along with him. He doesnāt say the rest, but from the look on Lukeās face, Yuri thinks Luke has heard it all the same. They settle themselves under the covers, pressed tight together. āYuri, tell me a story?ā Luke asks. āOnce upon a time, there was a brave heroā¦ā
100 Themes: YuriLuke
67. Playing the Melody
āWhatcha playing with a stick for?ā
When Yuri glances over his shoulder, he finds Luke standing not one foot behind him. Foregoing the lecture on personal space ā again - Yuri says, āItās not a stick.ā
Luke points at the admittedly stick-looking piece of wood in Yuriās hands with an air of condescension that heās started to pick up from his father.
āThat. Is a stick.ā
āWell it wonāt be for much longer,ā Yuri says, carefully cutting into the wood with his small knife. āDonāt you have lessons or something?ā
āYeah. Etiquette lessons,ā Luke says. He throws himself onto the street behind Yuri, back to back, undoubtedly ruining his fancy clothes. āLike anyone is going to let me out of the manor long enough to use them.ā
Yuri hums in agreement, both because Luke isnāt exactly wrong and because he remembers the lessons Flynnās mother tried to give both of them and he can understand Lukeās pain.
Like a homing pigeon, Repede appears as soon as Luke has settled down for a thorough petting session. When Luke leans forward to give Repede the attention, Yuri misses the feeling of warmth against his back.
It does make his task easier. He blows the extra wood chips out of the now-hollow tube and begins to cut the holes.
These actions ā choosing the wood, hollowing it out with the knife ā are instinct for Yuri now. Sometimes he sells his flutes ā a few extra coins never hurt and some people seem to think theyāre ācharmingā. It gives Yuri a chance to calm his mind. It also takes his mind off the hunger.
A few more years and he can join the army. Flynn is aiming for the Royal Guard. Yuri has his sights set on the White Knights. He pretends the red-head cuddling with his dog has nothing to do with it.
When the flute is finished, Yuri plays a few experimental notes. They never sound quite the same from flute to flute ā the differences in the shapes of the sticks and the placement of the holes causes that. But they ring out nice and clear. One of his better ones.
Repede whines behind him and when Yuri turns to look, he finds that Luke is completely still, staring at him.
āWhat?ā Yuri says slowly. āI didnāt think it sounded that bad.ā
āDo that again!ā Luke says, leaning across Repede.
Yuri plays a short little tune of his own invention, one that he would sometimes play for Flynn or some of the other street orphans. Luke watches with rapt attention. Yuri isnāt sure he is even blinking.
āLet me try it!ā Luke says as the final note trails off.
Yuri canāt help but laugh at Lukeās first attempts. To be fair, he isnāt doing too bad for someone with no musical instruction whatsoever ā academic studies are more important apparently.
āWhy isnāt it working?ā Luke says, trying to blow directly into the flute and getting only whooshing air for his troubles.
āYou donāt blow into it,ā Yuri explains. āThe air goes over the holes. Likeā¦.ā The man who had taught Yuri how to make the flutes called it āmaking out with the fluteā but oh, Yuri was so not going there. āLike this.ā
He takes the flute to demonstrate.
When he hands it back, Lukeās form is perfect. He almost gets something resembling a note out because he still needs to work on his airflow, but it is a huge improvement.
Yuri is about to move onto breathing but he catches a glimpse of blonde and orange.
āKeep it,ā he tells Luke, pressing the flute into Lukeās hands. āWe can work more later. But youād better get going if you donāt want Mother Hen catching you.ā
āItās time for dinner anyways,ā Luke sighs. He waves, catching Guyās attention.
Later, exchanging a few coins for a meager loaf of bread, Yuri thinks back, remembers the sight of Lukeās lips curling around the fluteās mouthpiece just soā¦
Would that count as an indirect kiss?
