[He isn't judging- hey, it's Flynn's life, he can do whatever the hell he wants to. And it's-- not like Yuri wants this to be a thing. It's not like he wants this to be. But with Alexei-- is he the same as Alexei to Flynn?]
[ Flynn resis-- fails to resist the urge to sigh. He sighs.
He wants to make a sarcastic comment, just to get the point across that Alexei is very, very different from Yuri and no replacements could possibly happen... but he refrains from doing so.
He knows Yuri, and Flynn isn't angry enough to make that mistake right now. If he says that, Yuri will only spiral down into self-loathing. ]
Nobody replaced anybody, Yuri. We just... slept together.
[ Yuri is... transparent but not. Flynn likes to say he knows Yuri in and out, but there are times when he isn't sure if what he sees is right. And Flynn doesn't want to assume, not too much, not with matters like this...
He gives Yuri a look-- while he's thinking of what to say- so that when he finally opens his mouth he's prepared. ]
I don't replace people, Yuri.
[ He explains, but a part of him knows that whatever Yuri really means, that isn't the correct answer. It's enough, though: Enough for the matter concerning Alexei. ]
And you're not stopping me-- with anything. I'd know before it came to that.
Because I believed he was an upstanding knight, Yuri. The ideal by which all Imperial Knights should strive for!
[ He gives you a very annoyed look. He doesn't say it, but it should be running through Yuri's head by the look he's giving: It wasn't because I was sleeping with him like you think. ]
We were both Knights. At the very least, I thought that would mean there wouldn't be a high chance of us simply drifting apart because we didn't see each other often.
[ He looks away then, knows that if he looks at Yuri he'll just... yell. He trusts Yuri to listen even for a bit anyway. ]
When you left the Knights... [ He paused, and only then does he voice a thought he's had for a long time. ] ... you purposely avoided me, didn't you?
[ Frown at Yuri. Not... really. At the very least, Flynn is taking responsibility for the whole shacking up with his superior part. It wasn't entirely Yuri's fault... so he thinks to himself. ]

[ It's a simple but firm tone and he knows it should be enough to pique Yuri's curiosity. ]
I thought it could be. With the former Commandant. But it was clear that... it wouldn't- couldn't be possible.
And it isn't only because Alexei wasn't interested in a proper relationship with me. It was-
[ He looks at Yuri. Between the two of them, Yuri had always been better at talking. ]
-different.

The matter with Alexei wasn't a result of me being angry with you. I assumed you weren't interested... anymore.
