[ Yu goes quite still, his spine stiffening as he stares at Minato with wide eyes.
Minato ... is breaking up with him. When he was never sure in the first place if they were dating or just going on dates. When he always used the words boyfriend and friend interchangeably because he didn't know which Minato actually was to him. Was, or wanted to be.
All at once rage comes over him, animating him in ways that have been missing this entire time. It's clear suddenly that since Minato arrived he's been holding himself back, because now that dam breaks. The emotions are clear on his face, in the way he takes a step forward and gestures sharply. ]
What's given you the right to make every decision?! Weren't we meant to be equals? From the very beginning you've left me in the dark and locked me out. I was hoping...
[ Here he pauses, his mouth twisting. ]
... with time, you'd come to rely on me. But it seems you never intended to.
[ There's a distinct bitterness to the way he says it.
Part of his mind says he should be kinder. That Minato is doing this because he's hurting just as badly and digging into the wound won't help either of them. But he feels he has no agency. Nothing he can do. Minato held himself apart. Minato lied to him. And now Minato is ending this thing between them, whatever it was.
Did he ever have a choice in the way this would turn out, from the very beginning? ]
