Who:

usedkunai
Where: Breeding Centre House
When: Evening, October 4th
Summary: Yosuke is an insecure failure, hijinks and woobieness ensue.
Rating: T for Teehee, Yosuke is dumb
Log:

[He's not particularly waiting for her to get back, but Yosuke's been sitting on the sofa all evening. It's the first evening he's taken off in a while, so while everyone else is taking care of their business, he's just thinking. Part about his situations -- things with Souji, as they always linger in his mind. But that's not it; something else is bothering him.]

[His talk with Athrun still lingers. Why didn't Rise tell him? Did she tell Souji yet? Or the others? Was he the last to know? Or maybe it was something else. After all, she felt comfortable enough to talk to him about the murders - the case. Something they really didn't often mention. Something he hadn't spoken a word to with anyone in Johto. Maybe she just trusted Athrun more; maybe things were changing right under his nose and he didn't know it. He's just not sure.]

[Maybe he just needs to wait. So he sits instead, contemplating whether or not he'll even mention it, or if he'll just offer a goofy smile and be on his way.]

Who'd want to ever forget that?

Only a real idiot would.

No real idiots here!

[ how she's already back to smiling so brightly is a mystery. ]

[He has no idea, but he can't help but laugh a little.]

I have a feeling some people would probably argue that, hehe.

Let 'em argue. They just don't get it.

I wish I was as good at that stuff as you are.

... [ wryly ] You wouldn't want my experiences, trust me.

[He kind of nods.] It sure as hell gave you thick skin, though.

... [ silence this round, before she slowly musters a smile. She's never once thought that. ]

Really?

Yeah, totally.

I think... you're probably the strongest one out of all of us that way.

Yosuke-senpai...

[He shakes his head a little.]

...Seriously, Rise.

... I'm used to it, I think... and maybe I shouldn't be.

Maybe not, but... we wouldn't have had your support without that thick skin, right?

You would've had my support, either way.

Well... the other kind of support too, you know?

... Yeah. I know.

[He goes quiet for a moment, ruffling his hair. Yeah, obviously she'd know. He feels kind of dumb and doesn't know what to say now. Durr.]

... Hey, scoot a little closer to the end, will you?

Huh -- oh, yeah... sure. [Does so!]

[ and Rise instantly lifts her legs up completely onto the couch and turns until she's flat on her back and using his thighs as a cushion. ]

There we go.

So I'm just a cushion for you now?

You're a comfy cushion! There's a big difference.

[He chuckles a little, ruffling his hair.]

Maybe I've found my new career path.

Sounds like a cushy job.

[ STRAIGHT-FACED. ]
