I'm out of sugar.

You just volunteered to help me scavenge some.

[Yes, you, whoever is listening.]

I'm looking at you in particular, nephew.

I'm not here to be another photo in your scrapbook.

No, you're here because you can't move on.

I'm here because I live here. Get out of my house.

Alright.

[He turns to look at him again.]

Yes, Xerxes?

...to do what?

[He stops, the bemused look fading from his face.]

I don't want to pretend to be friends. You broke my heart.

Don't come back.

...Xerxes-

[A little stunned by that, taking a small step back.]

I... I like being around you.

So do I.

But I wouldn't want that again, even if you did. So I need you to go, and I need you to not comment on my feed, and not stop by for tea, and not ask me over for family dinner.

[Still- startled. But Yuca swallows hard and puts on that nice, easy smile, leaning up against the doorframe and turning up the charm.]

You don't mean that.

[He grins.]

I have a matter of months left to live. Let me do it in peace.

I'd rather you did it in happiness.

That's what I'm trying to manage.

You can be happy with me.

[Soft.]

Nobody has to know.

You know that the world doesn't revolve around love and good intentions.

[The smile goes away, and he shoves his hands in his pockets.]

You're the only other person I know who can care about someone without forcing it down their throat- who doesn't expect me to just be better, solely because you love me.

If you ask me to pretend, I'll pretend. I've never had a chance to be happy, it isn't astonishing that I shouldn't now.

[He watches Break for a long moment, before closing his eyes with resign. Finally, Yuca turns around, shutting the door softly behind him.]
