When You Are Overconfident
Characters: Yuri Lowell, Rukia Kuchiki, Flynn Scifo, Albel Knox, Lailah, Hisui Hearts, Selphie Tilmitt, Natalia L.K Lanvaldear, Anise Tatlin & Open
Where: Palitutu’s Laboratory – Aqures Ixen
When: March 01
Summary: Yuri faces his Calamity Self after much wasted time on his end. He figured it might as well get whatever he could and maximize his resources. Of course, he wants to be complicated so, Yuri basically leaves a letter to his friends stamped to the refrigerator of his house and various other locations throughout Aqures Ixen for those who had close CR with him or considered him close.

"Yuri a note on the refrigerator is not how you contact your friends when you need their help," Acrisius floated next to Yuri as the former imperial knights was standing in front of the machine and preparing to hand the crystal to his moogle. Yuri didn't say anything at first. Acrisius wasn't wrong and strangely enough the moogle had grown on him significantly—that and he reminded Yuri of Flynn very much. Always damn nagging.
"They'll get the gist of it in no time. It's not like I want them to be worried about me."
He waved his hand dismissively. There's a lot of things Yuri would rather not talk about in front of his friends. Of course, he wouldn't be as rude as to not tell them but he wasn't going to be easy about it. He's difficult and he'd be difficult until the bitter end. Even Repede is giving him the look of disapproval.
"Hey, they can gather each other and meet me when I'm doing this right now. It's not like I ran off somewhere."
Acrisius sighs loudly, "That isn't the point. You know that they'll be unhappy with how you handle things. Are you really going to let yourself be subjected to more concerns with your other self?"
"Why not? I got a mountain full of problems. What's one more?"
Acrisius shot him a dark look, "Alright if you insist," he paused as he rubbed his little moogle temples. Yuri wasn't going to let up so he wasn't going to fight anymore, "Here we go Yuri."
Without further adieu, his moogle inserts the crystal and Yuri stepped back crossing his arms. His other self was just like the many others that he saw. It was a dark eerie figure, with different colored eyes and a draft of coldness about him. The only thing that made him different from Yuri was the fact that he wore the Imperial Knights uniform that Yuri had worn a couple of years ago. Given that Aqures Ixen and the Crystallis were about two years his residence. Yuri watched the other him manifest from the crystal, seemingly unfazed.
"Confident aren't you?" His other self scoffed a bit as he crossed his arms. He wasn't much different from Yuri but his temper for one was not anyone's cup of tea-- not even Yuri because it was him, "Don't think it will be that easy, Yuri."
"You bet I'm confident that this will be pretty easy. I don't have anything to worry about. You just do your thing and I'll just take it in stride," Yuri retorted as he glanced at his other self standing right across from him. At least for a moment before it came up close to him in a matter of seconds and socked him right across the face hurling him a few feet across the room. Now Yuri wasn't expecting that.
"Bull. You're full of it as always hiding behind the façade of an uncaring asshole."
Yuri slammed into the wall behind him after he flew a few feet backwards. He didn't even seem fazed at this either as he pushed himself up, somewhat aggravated by the punch. He spat out the blood that was in his mouth from cutting his lip, "What's wrong with that?"
The other him just stared at him incredulously, "You're really impossible! TELL THEM HOW YOU REALLY FEEL YOU BASTARD!" he snapped angrily at the other.

[ Yuri rubbed the bruised side of his face. What a damn punch that Shadow had. It wasn't his intention to bottle things up or keep things under a lock and key. He just never found it worth his time to mention or brought up. Burdening his friend was something he never really thought about doing and even though he relied on them, he still kept them at a distance. Some things he realized from being beaten around by the god awful shadow that was just him pissed at his stupidity.
Yuri laughed almost bitterly. ]
Man, this stuff sure hurts literally. Geez. I guess it's time to go home. C'mon Repede, Acrisius.
[ The former Imperial Knight mused as he pat the animals on the head. They looked rather worried for him bt he seemed fine. Yuri had nothing to really hide and he learned some things he did were subconsciously done and were more like a defense mechanism. ]

He shifted his weight and placed a hand on his hip, staring down Yuri's Shadow. That same self-doubt, that same isolationism, wanting to push everyone else away to "keep them safe" when really it was about protecting Yuri -- just as Albel had done with his own heart. He kept everyone at arms' length so he wouldn't be disappointed or hurt or responsible.
"Everyone has the right to exist as they choose," he stated. "Their friends support them."
Friends. Yeah, he supposed they were. Yuri had defended Albel's existence before.

He shrugged briefly at her reply. Rukia was right, he knew that his note wasn't going to cut his worried friends. He was being ambiguous on purpose. He knew it wasn't going to fool them for long. It's not that he minded it was more that he wasn't the type to really share his life with those he cared about. It was something he seemed to have an issue with—taking everything on his own instead of sharing it. When it came to him, he was always a bit harsh on himself.
"C'mon Shorty it's not about that."
He sighed. Now he felt bad because all of his friends really did care about him in such a way that it was hard for him to dismiss their concern. They were probably more times than ever sounding like Estelle and the others.
"--Just don't want to worry you."
Well thanks Shadow Yuri. You really know how to be blunt and cocky.
Yuri sighed, "Right, that. This is—
"Embarrassing."
"Right—will you quit that for a sec!"
Yuri really had it against his other self as he started to speak again. Yuri couldn't help but start chuckling at Asch's comment. Really? Of all the people he got encouraged by a short tempered red head that wanted to strangle him for various things.
"What made you think that?"
"That Lone Wolf Attitude of yours of yours."
"You’re not wrong."
Somehow this turned into a weird comedy show. Yuri was maybe a little baffled by the tone that Flynn used. Well—to be fair, his Shadow showed a larger amount of shock for the both of them. Okay, he was fairly used to Flynn being pretty sentimental but this was all way too sappy for his own comfort and he couldn't help but look the other way. Yuri—embarrassed? Yeah that's totally happening.
"Shucks Flynn, didn't know you cared that much," he muttered. Ah—why were they all sappy? Even Albel too. Yuri just couldn't handle this right now. In truth, he could but it didn’t want ot admit to these things all the time. He knew he made friends with a great bunch of people who would never betray him. They were always going to be by his side and protect him for whatever dumb reason they had.
"I guess I can take that rat's ass as a thank you for going out of your way for little old me here."
Okay, he's really going to have to end this quickly or he's going to drown in all the cheesy sap and his Shadow was already enjoying the amount of squirming he was doing by busting out laughing. Which probably would have surprised the room.

Yuri gave him privacy to face the spirit of the Crimson Scourge. They weren't that close. Close enough that Albel cared, he supposed, but... well, he didn't want to invade Yuri's space any more than necessary. Flynn was his friend. If this is what Flynn thought was appropriate, Albel would agree.
"We'll be outside." He left, intending to wait until Yuri was done and still ready to fight if necessary.

She took a few steps toward the door, but she didn't leave. Neither version of Yuri seemed particularly insistent about being left alone. If anything, this might be the only way he could ever really speak his mind, as she knew there was a lot he didn't say despite his claims of being straightforward and blunt.
"So?" she said, folding her arms casually below her chest and shifting her weight to one side. "The question is, now that you know what you've been hiding, will you continue to hide it? Or are you going to commit to a change, and better communication with your friends?"
