[ Varian absolutely panicked. Luckily, they're getting more guests, so it turns out it's a good thing he's an overachiever fuelled by anxiety! He huffs out a nervous little laugh. ]

It's okay. You're pretty out of it. I'd rather make sure there's a selection for all of you.

[ He smiles softly as Jun goes through his choosing process.]

Nice choice. What do you want on it? I can make it up for you.

I'm not that out of it...

[He says, like a liar. Which even if Varian couldn't read him like the book, the drained expression that crosses his face at the idea of needing to make ANOTHER choice gives it away]

... Surprise me.

[He'll go with whatever just don't make him think about things]

[ Varian just gives his partner a flat look at that, one eyebrow raising skyward. ]

Uh huh.

[ He doesn't buy it for a second. He can read Jun like a book and he can see hoe exhausted he is. Especially when he turns down making a decision. Varian goes about prepping a bagel for him- luckily he knows his partner pretty well, carefully putting together something he's sure he'll like, before handing it over. As he does so, he leans in to press a gentle kiss to the side of his fiancee's head. ]

There you go. Eat up and then get some sleep, okay?

[Yeah don't buy it for a second. Decisions take mental energy for Jun, energy he is not willing to spend somehow. Besides, he trusts Varian to pick a topping that Jun can eat - his fiancee is nothing but very thoughtful when it comes to his dietary restrictions.

And so when Varian brings something back, he'll take it and give him a small but loving smile- grateful for Varian. Sure enough, it's something he likes. ]

Thank you, my love. I will.

[For Varian, he'll be good and comply, biting into the bagel. There's definitely a small approving sound as he does so, showing that yes Varian did good! ]

When you're ready, come sit with me okay? I'll save you a spot.

[He'll say telepathically while his mouth is full of bagel. He's sure Varian wants to check on Haru and everyone else here first, but after all that? Yeah, he wants fiancee time]

[Varian watches Jun take a bite, smiling at the approving sound. Now that he's got some food into his partner, a tiny bit of the tension seeps from his shoulders. At the telepathic message, he reaches out to brush his fingers through his partner's hair in a gentle, feather light touch. ]

I'll be here soon, okay? Just gonna check on Haru and Ana.

[ He does just that, making sure Jun's siblings... his siblings are okay as they can be. The worry is still sitting heavy in his stomach. Harumasa is clearly extremely unwell. Varian is a problem solver by his nature, but this isn't a problem he can solve. He hates that. Once he's checked up as best he can, and come away feeling utterly helpless, he takes a seat next to his partner.

He carefully wraps an around around Jun's shoulders, letting him lean in close if he so wants to. It looks like a moment of silent comfort, but he does telegraph into Jun's head: ]

I'm not gonna make you talk about it if you're not ready yet. I know you're tired. But as soon as you're ready to talk about how you're really feeling, I'm here to listen.

[By the time Varian returns, Jun will have finished his bagel. He didn't feel particularly hungry due to all the stress, but he knew he had to eat, so he had forced himself to complete it.

But when his partner sits down and wraps his arms around him, he'll melt a little in relief. He'll scoot over to lean against him, wolf ears appearing on his head that show both his exhaustion and his trust in Varian.

Varian is the type to want to talk things out, but that's never really been Jun's style. So he's thankful at the message telegraphed to him, knowing he won't have to put into words what he's feeling. ]

... Maybe later, when we're out of this place. [once they're out of the hospital and the worst is over. When Jun feels less like they are balancing on the point of a knife, he'll have time to find the words.] For now.... just be here with me. Please?

[He knows Varian is the type to want to rush off and try to find a solution, that's how he deals with things. But there wasn't any solution that either of them were qualified to find. So right now? Jun just wanted his presence, to be reassured of something there was something solid in his life. To get out of his mind how it felt carrying Haru a few hours earlier - like he carrying fragile glass, with every coughing fit feeling like it could be the one to cause something to shatter]

[Varian's honestly glad to see Jun has eaten- he knows it's got to be hard, with all that worry. But better that than not eating at all. He's happy to let Jun cuddle in close, his hand moving to idly brush over those wolf ears, to try and give him some comfort through all of this.

He's a talker. He's a doer. He's not good at just leaving things. But he respects his partner's need to stop for a while. To process things in his own time. It's why he gave him the option, that felt... important. He leans in to press a gentle kiss on Jun's forehead. ]

Of course. Take all the time you need. There's no expiry date on that.

[ They're all helpless right now. There's nothing that can be done, except sit and hold each other. Wait. Varian hates waiting, but they have no other option. And he can, at least, recognise where he's needed the most right now is here. Holding his partner and helping keep him afloat when the weight of everything going on threatens to pull him under. Jun has done that so many times for him - hell, he was an absolute rock for Varian last month. He can easily return the favour. He gives his partner a gentle squeeze.]

I'm not going anywhere. You're my only priority right now.

[He feels that petting of the ears, and honestly it's soothing. Soothing just like being there close to Varian. He knows he's asking him a lot by requesting that he just sit and be, since he knows Varian is a doer. But knowing that his partner is willing to just sit there with him.... it means the world. ]

I love you.

[It's said with all the sincerity and gratitude in his heart. As he finishes to make himself comfortable, he'll close his eyes and try to get the sleep he told Varian that he would.

Which, considering he's in the presence of the person he trusts most in the world? It might actually come to pass, with his breath slowing as he slowly drifts off into sleep]

[ Varian keeps up that gentle petting of his partner's ears and hair. Gentle, soothing motions, to try and give him something comforting in this sea of uncertainty and fear. ]

I love you, too.

[He can feel Jun start to drift off, and he exhales softly, glad for it. This is a big worry, but it'll only be made worse if Jun's running on empty. And so, he settles in, glad to be a comforting presence and pillow for his fiancee. While Jun gets some sleep, he'll keep watch over Harumasa - waiting and hoping for even the slightest change for the better. And he'll stay there for as long as he's needed.]
