( OPEN ) feel like i'm falling down

[eyescar]

WHO: Yuji Itadori & you!
WHAT: Yuji has once again been the first guinea pig for the upgrades on offer from LILITH and is paying the price.
WHERE: Across the base
WHEN: End of the month
WARNINGS: References to brain surgery, time distortion, and other medical related things. Info about the side effects of the surgery here.

A.

[ The first moments after being released from the medical room are fine - or, Yuji thinks they're fine, at least. Megumi takes him back to his room and takes care of him, but eventually he gets a little stir-crazy and wants to go and get something to eat, and that leads him to the situation that he's in right now.

Anyone coming across Yuji in the corridor will see him walking down, but at a strangely slow pace. It's as if he's tiptoeing, and he has a face of such utter concentration on his features that it might be endearing if he wasn't also wincing, holding his arms out either side of him. It's as if he's walking along a balance beam, wobbling here and there.

It's comical, and when he realises someone is in front of him he lifts his head, slowly, as if underwater. ]

... Hi?

B.

[ Getting out of bed was probably a mistake.

Yuji had made his way to the library, a quiet place where he wouldn't have to worry too much about being bothered or poked and prodded, but everything had felt so loud. Every time he tried to sit down the pain of it was enough to have him twitching, tears prickling in his eyes, and when he lifts his hand to wipe them away it's as if someone has shoved a hot poker against his skin. It's too much, and way worse than the surgery he had last time, that for a moment he wonders if it was worth it.

(It will be, once this is over, but right now he feels as if his body is out of control).

The overstimulation leads him to crawling under one of the tables, tucking himself against it and shoving his face into his knees, looking far too much like his brother for anyone not to notice the similarities should they come across Choso hiding in the future.

He's crying off and on, but doing his best to pretend he isn't, just in case someone comes across him. ]

Me too.

[He reaches out and touches the pillow where Yuji's heart would be behind it; it'll have to do for now.]

Get some sleep. I won't go anywhere until you're feeling better.

[eyescar]

I’ll sleep. Just for an hour or two.

[ Which might feel like days or seconds, given how wired his head is right now, but… ]

Will you kiss me in the morning? Three times… No! I want four.

[the_fourteenth]

[He leans forward, tantalizingly close.]

I'll make it five.

[eyescar]

Johei… How am I meant to sleep now?

[ He’s pouting a little, but closing his eyes with a soft sigh. ]

Wake me up, okay? Two hours.

[the_fourteenth]

Alright. Two hours. Unless you're still comfortable by then, and I'm forced to join you.

[But, he will set an alarm for two hours and do as he's asked, but for now Raidou, will stay where he is until he's sure Yuji is asleep.]

[eyescar]

[ It takes a while for Yuji to fall asleep with the pain and disorientation, but he does eventually. He even manages to wake up before the alarm goes off, lifting a hand to rub at his face, looking around slowly. How long was he…?

Time feels weird right now. He has no idea how long he was out. ]

… Nn, Johei…?

[the_fourteenth]

[As nice as it would be to stay there, Raidou didn't want Yuji moving around in his sleep and hurt himself if he touched him again. He's right at his desk reading when Yuji wakes up, and he's over sitting on the edge of the bed in a flash.]

Hey. How're you feeling?
