11/19 Soup Day

[emptyembers]

[There's a little knock on the door before Yukio is peaking his head inside the room. He's carrying a tray of hot soup, some crackers, and a bottle of water to keep her hydrated. There's also a little paper crane origami next to the bowl.

He would have come yesterday, but between getting caught up with paperwork and nerves that he had chickened out. But now he's here.]

Nene? I hope I'm not bothering you, but I brought you some food.

[mermaidcursed]

( oh... oh no the crane? is so cute? she's gonna cry.... okay not really but she's really emotional right now honestly. sitting up properly, nene smiles a bit before- ah, yep, there's more coughing. ... is it just her or has her constitution tanked since her curse? anyways. phone... )

thank you! youre not dont worr y

( ah- )

[emptyembers]

[He smiles softly before sitting on the edge of her bed, setting the tray between them. The soup was warm still, and smelled deliciously of egg drop.

As to how he knew this would be the soup of choice, call it the mom instinct.]

Its not much, but i hope this helps a little.

[mermaidcursed]

( is that- nene looks up at yukio with awe mixed with even more emotional watery eyes. how did he know?! did he overhear her talking to subaru about soups at the movie night?! wehhh... yukio-kuuuuun........ nene politely holds out her hands, dropping the phone at her side. egg please! )

[emptyembers]

[If he had any doubts about coming here it was immediately gone upon seeing Nene's reaction. He couldn't help but laugh as he nodded his head.]

Alright, sit back. It's a bit hot.

[He shifts a bit to make some space between them, then sets the tray down on her lap so she could enjoy the soup, along with everything else.]

[mermaidcursed]

( nene settles back again, delighted as she picks up the spoon and immediately takes a sip. ... sooooo good! one hand to her cheek, nene beams. you did good, yukio! )

[emptyembers]

[He can't help but smile at the way Nene just beams with delight. He's glad he chose right, and he's even more glad that he brought it to her. He had been on the verge of not doing it simply out of nerves.

Regardless, he was glad to see her smile. It had been too long, he thinks.

He doesn't want to bother her while she eats, so instead he pulls out a folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket and quietly started making another paper crane.]

[mermaidcursed]

( quietly, nene eats. as much as she'd like to converse, there's simply not much to talk about- or at least, nothing she can focus on long enough to talk about, least of all while she's preoccupied. but there's something comforting about your favorite soup, and having someone you care about sit close by while you're not feeling well. so despite everything, she's content. at one point however, she does glance curiously at the origami. whatcha doin, yukio-kun? )

[emptyembers]

[He didn't mind the silence. It was always rather comforting to be with someone he enjoyed being around in silence. It felt... nice. And Nene seemed to be enjoying the soup, so that's what mattered.

After a moment, though, he noticed her watching him and he held up the folded paper.]

Do you know how to make paper cranes?

[mermaidcursed]

( she hasn't tried in a long time, honestly. but she watches quietly, switching focus between his face- that gentle smile- and his hands. eventually, nene shakes her head. )

[emptyembers]

[He scoots a little closer, still leaving enough space so he wasn't invading her space or crowding her so she could continue eating. He held his hands out, making sure she could see how he folds the paper. He took it slow this time, every now and then telling her how to fold it this way and that to make sure that it was as easy to understand as possible.

It didn't take long before the piece of paper turned into a crane. He set it down on the tray next to the other one, the smile on his face softer and fonder... if that was even possible.]
