[It's a skill most soccer players cultivate, sleeping in a moving vehicle. Yukimiya takes off his glasses, clips them to the front of his shirt, crosses his arms and tucks his head. And yes, drifts off to sleep.]
[ When they arrive, Endo pokes him awake — literally. He steps out of the car with a yawn, stretching his arms and then folding his hands behind his head. ]
Bring your leash.
[ He isn't going to lead him in with it — for now. Just in case Takiishi's home. He may not care about what Endo does or doesn't do, but it'd still be weird to just waltz in there with a guy in the position of a dog. It'd be better for him to explain it first.
He waves Yukimiya in front of him so that he enters first, just in case he gets a surge of courage now that they're in society again. ]
[Once inside, Yukimiya takes his shoes off on autopilot, as if he could pretend for a moment he's just over at a friend's house, instead of wearing a collar and holding a leash as a pet bought by some psycho.]
[ What a good pet. Endo removes his shoes, too, and heads deeper into the house. ]
I'll give you a tour so you know what's off limits.
[ It's simple enough: living room, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms. But before he takes Yukimiya to the room that will be his for the foreseeable future, he pauses before Takiishi's. ]
Whatever you do, don't go in here. Even if the door is open.
[ Lest Takiishi get upset to find something out of place. He wouldn't want anyone in his space.
Endo doesn't care about that kind of thing. His room is relatively plain, all things considered. And if Yukimiya is going to serve him, he'll be in and out of there, anyway. ]
[He is wondering what the mysterious other party here is going to think about him being here. Maybe...maybe he'll be sympathetic? Help Yukimiya escape? But he isn't going to try anything stupid without meeting the guy.]
[Well, it wasn't like he had many personal effects within Blue Lock. At least there's a bed and a little bit of space. Everything else will be a luxury.
But. Playing along will be better for now. Right? So he reaches out and touches Endo's hand lightly, as if that can be a casual gesture at this point.]
Thank you, for giving me my own personal space. That's really thoughtful and generous.
[He had expected to be sleeping at the foot of Endo's bed or something.]
[ Oh, the day will come when he sleeps near or on Endo's bed. But Endo believes in slow and steady. Baby steps that lead to full integration, where everything becomes natural before Yukimiya knows it's happening. It's all about the long game.
That said, he's very impressed with Yukimiya's initiative. Similar to him, he had his own expectations, and one of them was that Yukimiya would be slow to adapt to these new expectations.
He grins. ]
Good work. Keep it up and I'll let you pick dinner tonight.
[ Because Takiishi will be home late. Otherwise it would be his call. ]
Get settled, take a shower, and don't try to leave. I'll give you an hour.
[ And he will time him.
But he'll also put fresh clothes near the bathroom door. There's no need for him to carry around the grime of that place. ]
[Most of that hour is spent in the shower, and at least some of that time goes into crying. But he is good enough with timing to emerge from the bathroom and dress before the hour passes completely.
And there is no immediate attempt to flee. There wouldn't have been, even without Endo saying anything.]

This'll be yours. If you wanna decorate it or get some stuff of your own, you'll have to earn it.
[ By doing the one thing he was hired to do, of course. ]
