Kuramochi takes the drawing and holds it up, his eyes flicking between his artwork and Ryousuke’s face. “Hmm… I think it fits you well, Kominato-san.”
Ryousuke hates that he can feel his cheeks warm. “You don’t know me well enough to say that, Kuramochi.”
It’s Kuramochi’s turn to flush. “Maybe not.” His face splits into a grin and he lets out an absolutely obnoxious laugh. “But you’re still trusting me to ink this on you, huh?”
“Furuya spoke highly of you for some reason.”

In which Ryousuke writes, gets tattooed, and falls for the guy with the obnoxious laugh.

“One more set and then you can be done.”
Ryou gritted his teeth, pulling his leg back against the resistance band. It hurt, forcing his leg to bend into a range of motion he’d mostly lost while it was in a cast, but there was no cure other than pushing it.
He’d never had to do this when he was a full demon.
“One more, come on Ryou-san.” Ryou resisted the urge to snap out at Youichi. He was only trying to help, but right now the encouragement was grating. “And done!”
Maybe the encouragement was starting to grate on Youichi too. The cheer in his voice was as false as Ryou had ever heard it.
“Let me take a look at your leg,” Youichi said, sitting on the couch and patting his thighs like he expected Ryou to just flop all over him.
“I’m fine,” Ryou said, more to be contrary than anything else. He really just wanted…he didn’t even know.
“Sensei said the scar massage would help you heal faster,” Youichi insisted. “Your scars finally closed up enough to start that.”
“I said I’m fine!” Ryou snapped, because he’d had it with the false cheer and the pain and the never-ending, interminably slow healing.
Youichi gave him this sad reproachful look that actually made him feel bad for snapping, because really, it wasn’t Youichi’s fault that bones took forever to heal.
“I know you’re upset, but I’m not gonna be your punching bag,” Youichi said. “Don’t yell at me for shit that’s not my fault.”
And now Ryou felt like a complete asshole. Youichi had been nothing but helpful, and all Ryou could do in return was be a dick because he was angry at the world and Youichi was the closest to him.
“Sorry,” he said, laying down across the couch and draping his legs across Youichi’s lap. Youichi picked up his right leg carefully and rubbed his thumbs around Ryou’s surgery scar.
“S’okay,” Youichi said, even though it wasn’t. “Being injured sucks.”
It really did. Ryou wasn’t sure if it was better or worse that he was definitely healing, even at such a slow rate. It would be easier, maybe, if there was something wrong, something tangible that he could fix. But he’d moved from crutches to a cane, and he could walk with only a slight limp, and he was definitely getting stronger, getting his range of motion back.
Some days, that only reminded him of how far he had to go. Those days, when he’d have shooting pains that radiated all the way up to his hip and down to his toes, when bending his knee even a little made him grit his teeth in pain…those were the worst, even if they were increasingly few and far between.
There weren’t many days when Ryou truly missed being a demon, but those painful days made him wish for his essence back.
“You think it’ll ever be better?” Ryou asked, more to himself than Youichi.
“Of course it will,” Youichi said, ever so gently digging his thumbs into the skin around Ryou’s scar. “Look how far you’ve already come.”
“No, I mean…better. All the way better. The way it was before.” Youichi’s hands stilled.
“I don’t know if it will,” he said softly. “Maybe you’ll always have a limp. Maybe you’ll always have days where it hurts.”
Ryou wasn’t entirely sure they were talking just about his leg anymore.
“Guess I’ll have to settle for improvement, then,” Ryou said, because Youichi deserved a lot better than Ryou had been giving him lately. Youichi shot him a quick smile, resuming his gentle scar massage.
It hurt, a little, but it was a good hurt. A healing hurt.
“For what it’s worth, Sensei thinks you’ll be able to walk normally again, and I agree with her,” Youichi told him. “I know it feels like it’s taking forever to heal, but it’s only been a few months and you’re already almost walking on your own. Most humans wouldn’t even be able to put weight on that leg yet, no matter how much magic they poured into it.”
Ryou did seem to have just enough demon magic burned into his circuits to make healing faster than a normal human, but it was nowhere near where he’d been. Still, he was grateful for it. If he’d had to wait for months to even try walking again, he’d have gone crazy.
Someday, he’d be walking again, and hopefully, running too.
“Thank you,” Ryou said.
“You don’t have to thank me,” Youichi replied. “Of course I’d help you with this.”
“I meant for everything,” Ryou said. “I know I haven’t exactly been pleasant to be around recently. Thanks for sticking with me anyway.”
“At this point, you’re stuck with me,” Youichi told him, giving him that big grin, and this one even felt genuine. “Until you tell me to leave, I’m not going anywhere.”
It would definitely be too sappy to tell Youichi that he was never going to ask that, so Ryou didn’t. He hoped Youichi understood anyway.
“So do you want to go over to Miyuki and Sawamura’s later?” Youichi asked. “Apparently Haruichi and Furuya are going too, Haruichi has some new fighting game he wants everyone to try.”
“Pass,” Ryou said. “Miyuki and Sawamura are still in the honeymoon phase. They’re insufferable.”
“They’re not that bad,” Youichi said.
“They make those eyes at each other. There’s no way we were that bad when we got together.”
“You want to see Haruichi, though, don’t you?”
“You just think Haruichi can beat me in that game.”
“I can neither confirm nor deny.”
Ryou rolled his eyes, not that Youichi would be able to see that. He hooked an arm around Youichi’s neck in a kind of hug, pulling until Youichi’s face was buried in his neck. The physical contact wasn’t usually something he sought out, though he didn’t hate it, but he’d noticed that Youichi took a lot of comfort in it, and that was more than enough reason for Ryou to give it out.
“Fine,” Ryou said. “I’ll put up with the newlyweds so you can watch my little brother kick my ass at video games.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s whatever.” You deserve something nice after how mean I’ve been.
Ryou could feel the grin Youichi pressed into his skin.
“Cool.” Youichi didn’t make any move to leave the embrace, and Ryou didn’t try to make him. They still had a lot of healing to do, and Ryou’s leg was only part of it. But they were getting better.
Everything was getting better.

The only times Kuramochi gets to see Kominato Ryousuke is on one specific layover, but that isn't enough.
