YuuA plopped down on the bed and stretched her whole body then promptly curved into a ball to sleep. She had stripped down to a white boyleg and white spaghetti strap as she entered their home. The flight was long and exhausting. All the while she had to smile and wave and be her best self even if she no longer felt like it. 

V thought about how bad her eyes looked , he had seen her in her appearances , the eye bags were concealed but that simply could not fool someone who has seen her without those. She had not been getting enough sleep and it was a simple enough thing for him to teleport there in Brazil , whisk her away and force her to rest. Then again she would fight him over that. She loved what she did and love or not she would chose that over him. He knew that.

V sighed and as YuuA began to shiver a bit at the cold air he began to cover her with her favorite blankets. Too tired to even cover herself properly he noted. Well , that was why he was here for and not killing some inter dimensional beings who were trying to invade this plane of existence. The Magistrates thought taking care of this lone human was a waste of his talents. What V thought was that it was a waste that he was not able to find her soon enough.

YuuA opened her eyes to look at V. His black shirt with the Yuu Clans sigil on it made the girl flinch a little. "Ah. Must you were that shirt in our house?". He enjoyed getting these little reactions from her. YuuA tried to stand to go the bathroom, V offered his arm as he always did. He knew that her legs would still be tender from all the dancing and falling. He would have wanted nothing but to carry her but she once commented that she had to walk through the pain to remind her why she does what she does and so he simply limped with her.

"I'm hungry."

"Do you want me to make you something or do you want me to order at the usual place?" When it came to YuuA there was a usual toss up of these things. 

"I want to fly to Jeju and eat at the barbecue stand."

"You just got home. Are you sure you are up to it?"

YuuA waved a hand over head as if drunk."Zap me with your power thing and I'd be good as new."

"I think you ought to rest and we can fly first thing tomorrow."

"I want to eat there now." YuuA gave him that look.

"Scary! Ok Ok. Get some clothes on then. We can't have you appear almost naked in Jeju.The Father stones would revolt!"

"I'd eat them all if they do."

V knew better than to argue with a hungry YuuA. He looked at their closet and found a sturdy trench coat that he wrapped around her , closing the belt tight. YuuA smiled at him knowing how much of a pushover he was when it came to her.

A few moments later they were on the patio and with a touch of her forehead she was enabled to fly and off they went to that favorite Barbecue stand that may or may not be open at this time of night.
