"Yuki." His voice was soft and heartfelt but he didn't resist when Yuki pulled away. "It's okay."

Jacob didn't know what else to say. He could assure Yuki over and over again but that didn't mean that he'd ever believed it. This wasn't an easy situation for them to overcome and this was only the first day but it was okay. There was nothing that Yuki could do that would make Jacob think less of him.

He rose from his seat and walked over to where the kettle was. Jacob was careful not to touch Yuki but he didn't think Yuki should try and keep things together for him. "Hey, can you look at me?" They'd done a lot of not looking at each other and it was time for them to face this head-on.
