Odd to find himself back in a more grown up body. He’d woken up on Amat at eighteen and lived there almost a year and a half… To wake up sixteen again and suddenly return here to being almost twenty was kind of a head rush now that it was brought to his attention. Still… that damn rat was also somewhere else? He said he never wanted to see anyone from his world appear in Amat and despite his dislike for his cousin, that truth rang solid. He felt bad, guilty almost, as if it might be his fault Yuki got pulled into Crystallis. Wasn’t it always the cat’s fault… He offered a soft huff when Reno said he didn’t know what animal he was. It… It was a nice attempt to calm him and he appreciated it. “Yeah well… we’re not supposed to talk about our family much to strangers,” Kyo admitted. ‘Discreet’ huh, was just like Yuki. Even in a strange world, Yuki was still being the perfect prince he always was.
Bastard.
“I’m sure he was real eager to find me,” Kyo droned, eyes rolling as he looked away with a frowning pout. An older Yuki. Just like Kyo had been older too. He wondered if it meant anything, if Yuki changed or if he was still the same insufferable jewel of the family. But… he held his questions back. Wouldn’t do anything to learn about it. Though when Reno mentioned that Yuki saved Reno’s ass—“HE WHAT?!”—the cat’s hackles flared up visibly and the exclamation seethed down into a snarl under his breath. God dammit! That rat was always trying to one up him and steal away what was his; he couldn’t even have a friend, a lover, without Yuki somehow finding his way there and getting involved! Showing them the “better” side of the family. Showing Kyo up. He hated it. He hated it… hated that that revelation alone almost felt like it poisoned what he had with Reno. He was fine with the Turk having other lovers, hell he was even “fine” with Reno moving on after they were separated (not that he liked it, but he accepted it).
But to think Yuki of all people--!!!
It took several visible seconds of internal warfare and bitter, unintelligible words for the cat to force himself to calm down. Reno was… Reno was worth more than that. Reno was worth more than his currently-petty family issues. He was better than Kyo’s jealousy and dislike towards his cousin. And, despite his issues, Kyo had matured some during his time in Amat. His memories from this place swarming his mind helped remind him of that. And, bitterness ignored, Kyo was… grateful to Yuki for saving Reno. However it happened.
He rubbed at the side of his face, fingers digging into his bangs and the heel of his palm pushing against his eye and cheekbone. “Geeze, you’re always getting into trouble no matter where you go, aren’t you.” As for jumping Yuki… well that depended on two things. First, if Reno was there with him. Second, if the damn rat kept his mouth shut and didn’t try to start something! “I’ll try,” he grumbled, looking up at his boyfriend—well, as far as Kyo was concerned, he still was—through his uncovered eye.
