kuroken flying to russia just to see yaku, and lev begging the two to take him with them, but they always refused.

"you have to get here by yourself, lev," yaku always tells the halfie. "if you want to see me, try harder, titan."

many months later, yaku saw a familiar silver-haired individual in his team's gym.

"is that...?"

green eyes met his brown ones, and the person started sprinting towards him.

"YAKU-SAN!"

"LEV?! why are you here?"

"well, yaku-san did say to try harder if i want to see him so i'm trying out for yaku-san's team!"

yaku definitely did not expect to see his former junior in russia. he definitely didn't expect him to take his "advice" seriously.

unsuprisingly, lev got into yekaterinburg's tiger and became yaku's new roommate.

"now yaku-san, you don't have to suffer the winter alone because i'll be here with you always." lev cheerfully declared when he finished unpacking.

yaku smiled. "don't get your hopes up."
