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?

[ 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. ]

( Wildcard me or hit me up for something and I will write you it! <3 )

Shoto still isn't against wandering aimlessly in halls. It gives him good time to reflect on things, get confused by his reflection on some of the things, and then bother Bakugo or Midoriya about the things he's reflected on.

However, today's walk includes someone else's and while Yuji isn't walking toward him, Shoto certainly is catching up at his leisurely pace. The arms out prevent him from doing much moving aside, and if someone is drunk then they probably should be escorted home. He hadn't planned to have a day where it included any kind of community service, but he's all in all dedicated to his cause. So when he's addressed and said hi to, Shoto replies in kind: "Hello." Shoto is walking half behind him, and a little turned toward him. "Where are you going? Straight ahead?"

"I think so?"

Turning his head, Yuji looks at Shoto with a small smile, almost as if he is drunk, but... He's not stinking of it, and his eyes are clear, despite how awkwardly he seems to be moving. It's just dizziness that'll pass, right? That's what he keeps telling himself, even as he has to pause to lean against the wall to talk to someone.

This is bad, probably.

"I was trying to get to the lounge, but it's taking ages to get there."

The smile he gets doesn't lead him to believe that the man isn't drunk, that's the truth of it, but he doesn't know quite where to take it. Maybe a few more questions to make sure there isn't something more wrong with the situation than there seemed to be.

This is definitely bad.

"Good thing I came along then. What if I walked with you to the lounge? I can help you get there, if you'd like to let me."

"That might work!"

Yuji nods his head, looking around. It does seem like he's drunk, but more than anything else he just feels a little... Hazy. Time really is working weirdly for him right now, and he sighs softly.

"If it's not any trouble for you."

It might work. He hopes it works.

All the same the moment it becomes apparent this man is concerned for Shoto being put out by doing this he shakes his head. "It's not a problem. I like helping people, but I think in your condition which I think we're both aware of you have one of two decisions. I can take you home, or I can take you to the lounge and you explain to me what you wanted from it." Shoto bows his frame a little bit and since Yuji is settled on the wall, it makes it easier to put one of Yuji's arms over his shoulders. It's this or carrying him. Which Shoto will resort to if it looks like he can't walk reliably.
