The fear from before was forgotten for now, pushed to the back of his mind. Yuki's fingers itched to... What? What did he want to do? He inhaled, then exhaled shakily. What was he wanting to do? Maybe getting closer to the doctor would help him decide. The boy took a few steps forward, watching the other male's face intently, watching for any twitch, any change. Yuki was impressed that the doctor could not only catch his gaze, but also hold it --if only for a little while.
Most adults feared him and what he could do. Feared that their greed, their hatred and selfishness had twisted an innocent child into what he was today. Most adults could not even bring themselves to let their gazes meet.
He saw the hint of worry in the doctor's eyes, but could not discern whether it was directed at himself or at Yuki. The boy amazed himself for even considering the possibility that the doctor may be concerned for him.
His feet carried him another few steps close to the doctor. He was nearly standing right before the other man now. His hand nearly raised from where it was hanging at his side, but he froze when the doctor spoke again. He had no words with which to respond. In stead he sprung into action. His hands took a hold of the doctor's shirt and he pushed forward, hard. Rosy lips twitched when he felt the blonde's back hit the wall and he stepped in close.
Would the adult submit? Or would he fight back? Yuki would do no more until he saw the man's reaction.

True alarm shot through him at Yuki's approach. He stumbled--almost jumped back another step, then two, then one more, until at last his shoes came up against the unyielding wall. His eyes were wide with panic, phobia. Anyone approaching in that way, coming closer would have sent him into unreasoning fear. Something about the boy alarmed him more than usual. He shot a glance at the door to his left. Could he dart away and make it outside in time--
No such luck. The dark eyed boy stood mere inches from him. The blood slowly drained out of Gene's face at their proximity. His lips twitched and his eyes went opaque with fear and other mixed emotions. He couldn't even question and had nowhere to run. His skin crawled at imagined touch.
When Yuki grasped his shirt, his mind exploded. Even that not-quite-touch felt like lightning shocks. His eyes darted wildly and his jaw clenched. Sweat beaded out across his brow. He was so close to striking out. Not to harm, but to get the boy away from him. If this had been one of the former teachers, or any other grown person...
He managed to hold onto a shred of self control. No. He would do nothing to hurt any of these children. His arms had shot up as if he meant to throw Yuki off him. Instead, he slowly lowered them. "You...why are you doing this? I think...you should..." His voice came out rougher and more disjointed than he meant it. Not quite sane. He shut his eyes against the sound of it.

The doctor's reaction to Yuki's actions were very pleasing to him. Yet at the same time, he felt a hint of guilt. Never had he encountered an adult who showed such fear at his presence. Yuki hadn't even touched the blonde, and the other male seemed as if he were trying to shrink into himself.
He had to remind himself...not of what Dr. Menelaus did, but of what he did not do. Adults were meant to protect and guide their offspring, show them how to get through this senetence called life. Dr. Gene Menelaus had failed the orphans in that regard. Yet...Yuki realized that what Gene had done was not nearly as bad as what the rest of the staff had done. The boy was not sure if he could ever forgive the doctor for not protecting them, but he'd made progress by realizing that some adults were bad...but not as bad as other.
Then he was hit with a thought. The reminder as to why the doctor was alive. The Shadow Man...he would likely punish Yuki if he hurt the doctor in any way.
This made him take a step back, his expression turning cold and expressionless, "I will return tomorrow." He motioned offhandedly to the cut the doctor had patched up for him, then in a rush the boy was out the door and hurrying down the hallway.
ooc: we can end it there and either rp when Yuki comes back? or we can continue...somehow XD up to you and the smexi Dr. Gene.

The doctor's nerves built to a crescendo under Yuki's cold stare. The moment before the boy released him, he murmured an odd phrase in Swiss accented French under his breath. Something about angels.
Then space was between them and Gene could breathe. He drew in several deep gasps of air and sanity. He couldn't even recall the words he'd just whispered. He stared at Yuki in mute confusion, then slowly drew himself up into a steady position.
Had the boy just attacked him? It seemed so, yet he hadn't harmed him. Why? To both parts? His eyes held the confusion, yet he dared not ask that question. Instead, he cleared his throat. Best to act like nothing had happened.
"Y--yes. Of course. You'll come tomorrow..."
