[Sometime after Baren ushered Yams back to bed and then stepped out to get ingredients to cook food and also some bath bombs - ]
hey look after him for a while hangover kicked his ass made some remedy food it's in the fridge if you need it too but don't eat too much it's not for you
It's a good thing Baren texted after Yamato found out what really happened, though. Kashuu likely would've told him sooner or later, but if he hadn't crawled into bed to seek comfort the way they sometimes do, Yamato would probably still be oblivious now.
But he does know, and while he ultimately feels that Baren made the right choice, he can't quell his initial annoyance entirely.]
I know he already came and found me
[Which he shouldn't have had to do. Yamato's still feeling pretty guilty about that.]
I think he's just dozing but my room's pretty dark so I'll wake him up and make him eat in a little while
[Spreading anyone's business is bad - and shooing Yamato back to bed before he went out was a better idea to Baren than surprising Kashuu with a conversation he might not have been ready to have. People decide what they want to share on their own time. He's always believed that.
He's not sure what Yamato's doing - testing him? - but he has reason enough to believe that Yamato understands that Kashuu is a private person too.
Even now, Baren thinks that himself knowing, even if he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, is too much of an accident.]
[Not exactly what had happened... but even then, he does know that Baren's right about even this. It's not as difficult for him to admit that as it might've been a week or two ago, and this isn't a test so much as Yamato giving in to that selfishness he'd set aside earlier, for Kashuu's sake--that part of him that never knows when to stop pushing, too caught up in his own desire to talk about the most painful things.]
but thank you for whatever you did to help him calm down after that if it had been me... I don't think I could've helped
[And that... that's a lot, coming from him to Baren. Yamato's always had a weirdly distant view of his and Kashuu's relationship, but he's always been able to say with confidence that he knows Kashuu very well--and that includes knowing how to take care of him. To outright admit that Baren was better suited for this than he would've been... it's obvious that whatever's transpired since Baren left the apartment was incredibly heavy, if nothing else.]
[Because Baren isn't the type to share anything with anyone - not even the people that a person might trust most. He doesn't ever want to be the one to reveal bad news that isn't his to share. So he... just doesn't.]
anyway i hear that sometimes people can't see relationships that are too close to them too clearly
[which is his way of saying that he disagrees - roundabout as it is. he won't accept the thanks, because he doesn't think he did anything worth thanking. he was just a decent human being for once and.... he still thinks he was the wrong person for it.
but if it's all that kashuu had in terms of options, what could he do besides his best?]
[VERY MATURE... but Yamato can only argue so much when he kinda-sorta agrees. Ugh.
Still, none of that is important right now. Yamato can be as petty as the best of them, but he knows what's most important right now, and it isn't bickering over what's already passed.]
I don't really get what you're trying to say [at least he's honest] but it means a lot to both of us I won't say it again so don't get used to it though
[Y'know, just in case Baren was starting think Yamato liked him or anything... even though he's mellowed out a lot since their fight, save them.]
he's feeling a little better now in case you were wondering I'm not sure when he'll be back up to 100% though
backdated to the morning after kashuu's bday....
