The One Where Everything Went Wrong

Who: Everyone in the Breeding Centre House!
Where: ...The Breeding Centre House; Assorted areas of Goldenrod City
When: Evening of October 29th into early morning October 30th, beginning about a half hour after THIS post.
Summary: Souji and Yosuke have a fight! All over the house! In front of everyone! And then things happen and Yosuke wanders Goldenrod!
Rating: W for W-T-F NOOOOOOOOOOOO FIGHTING!! Or you know, there will be yelling and cursing and some things.
Log:
Everything is being broken up separately to save time and not spam everyone's f-lists, so here's the breakdown!

THE FIGHT THREAD: This is where Souji and Yosuke will have the actual argument. Others are welcome to threadjack to react to one another as this goes down, provided they don't try to talk to the two fighters, who will ignore them in their fury. After the big thing that is a thing happens (and both sides acknowledge it), you should threadjack this with all your reaction faces ever! Immediately after this concludes, it will split up into...

THE SOUJI THREAD: Souji will remain in the house, reacting/calming down/whatever protags do in this situation. Those who are not planning to leave the house can talk to Souji now about all the things!
THE YOSUKE THREAD: Yosuke will be leaving the house to try and clear his mind. He will have no Pokémon with him, only his wallet. He will most likely be freaking out to some degree; he may be aimlessly wandering, he may be sitting in an alley contemplating crawling into a dumpster, he may be outside the inn or at the Pokémon Center. Those who chase him out of the house or are in Goldenrod can talk to him here (note: he'll only talk to his CR if they're not housemates because of his mental state).

THE NEXT DAY: This thread will be closed to Souji and Yosuke and will take place around 5AM Sunday, when Yosuke finally slips back into the house and tries to crawl in his bed. (ninja)

EVERYTHING ELSE! Make your own threads outside of the aforementioned ones to react post-fight, come up with IC game plans and go "wtf why are souji and yosuke fighting EVERYTHING IS WROOONG." Souji and Yosuke won't reply to these threads, but have fun and talk to each other about anything!

Ichi and I will get things started in the individual Souji and Yosuke aftermath threads when the fight is over/mostly over, so please refrain replying to those until we set the scenes up! If you can't/don't want to track anything, PM Ichi and I via LJ/Plurk and we will let you know when everything is totally running and functional for the whole bunch. ♥♥

Please feel free to add your character's tag if you're going to/do tag in! I'll be going through it to add everyone periodically if we miss people, but it'll help!

[ Souji honestly feels like complete crap now. At first, he has thought he might not take back that kiss because of how Yosuke has reacted to it during it, but soon after, he has completely regretted it. Just all of those different emotions on Yosuke's face before he has run out. Then, he has only really felt guilt and being hurt. ]

[ He keeps standing in the location he has been in before with his hands pressed to his eyes, not crying, but just trying to block out anything and everything. ]

[ A broken Souji is a poor leader and a broken Souji he is now. ]

[there's a lot of emotions going through her and while Nanako doesn't fully understand exactly what's going on, she's able to gather that Souji's upset... and he's upset because he cares about Yosuke. this is the thought she clings to as she quietly heads over to him, worry and sadness on her face.

slowly, she stands on her tip toes and gently presses both hands to Souji's elbow.]

[ Souji is busy trying to think over just how bad of a move that kiss is. Out of all the things he could have done, he has just chosen that one, but the moment— the emotions of anger, pent up love, frustration. It has just seemed like the right thing at that time. ]

[ When he feels little hands on his elbow, he moves one of his hands to look down and when he does, he feels a hundred times worse. Oh god, has... has Nanako been watching this all? He covers his eyes again, shutting them. ]

Sorry, Nanako. I... You should head to bed. [ said in the weakest voice ever. ]

No.

[she shuffles closer to him, wrapping her arms around his waist as far as they can go.]

I want to stay with Big Bro.

[ While it should be reassuring and it is a bit, it just makes him feel so much worse. That whole Big Bro image, the one always so calm, so much for that. ]

[ He takes a deep breath and swallows around that large lump in his throat. ] You shouldn't had seen that.

[she shakes her head, looking up at him.]

It's not your fault! You and Yosuke-nii love each other, don't you? You got mad because you care, but... you didn't know how to show it.

You did that to show Yosuke-nii how much you love him, right?

[Oh, god. Talking to Rise made her so confident. Yet, this is the complete opposite of how it's always been. Souji has seen Yumi at her worst. He's seen her violently angry, he's seen her the most sad she could ever be, and he's seen her switch from one to the other in drama to hide from life. The fact that now she needs to approach him and say something...it's honestly terrifying.

She slowly moves closer. There's only one thing she can think of right now, something he'll definitely remember. She's not going to ramble on about things, she just wants to start by letting him know that she's here, like she wants to be.

He didn't hug her on that day, but that's fine. Her eyes still a little damp from tears, she wraps her arms around him and gives him a soft hug from behind. There's no romance in it, though. She worries briefly if he won't recognize the gesture, if this won't make sense to him, but words spill out of her mouth--]

I'm here. ...Let's go, okay?

[ It takes a few seconds for Souji to realize what's going on and just whose arms these belong to. He doesn't react much though, continuing to stay in his same spot, with his hands where they are. He does manage to crack out something in a low voice, full of defeat; ]

I'm fine. I... I can handle it.

[ This again, exactly the point that Yosuke has brought up; trying to do things on his own. It's his biggest flaw because that's what a leader does and that's what he's going to do. ]

Don't be stupid, silly.

[She rests her forehead on his shoulder, speaking quietly. Like always, her words have that harshness to them, but she's being completely honest. Her tone is much more gentle than it usually is as well, as it's been a while since she's wanted to call Souji an idiot. He really can be sometimes, but she knows they all are.]

You taught me that I can't do everything by myself, remember?

[It's sad, she thinks, that he has this problem, but she always saw it. They way he helps everyone, those times she was jealous because he had so many friends and she was alone...she remembers them all so well. It's not about that anymore, though.]

I'm not letting go.

[ He takes a deep breath and exhales harshly. He lowers his head shakes it as he speaks. ]

It was such a stupid mistake. I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have let my temper rise. [ That's who he is, who he's suppose to be. Always the calm Senpai, Sensei, Leader, Partner, friend, everything. He's always suppose to be rational and logical. Why has he let his buttons get pushed on so easily? Why? ]

[She knows exactly who he's supposed to be. She's been living in the breeding center, and for the first time she's been able to see how his life really affects others.]

I'm not going to say that it wasn't a mistake, or that you shouldn't have done that...but it happens to everyone. [She squeezes him a little tighter.] If...if I broke down every time I was that angry, though, there would be nothing of me left. You saw me at my worst. Why won't you talk to me? I want to help, too.

[...Where do you even go from a fight like that? And the fact that Asuma was far from involved with anything related to the fight made it even more awkward.

Still, it's clear the older boy needs support, and Asuma will do his best to give that.]

...Hey.

[ Souji doesn't lift his head from his hands, but he clearly tenses up when Asuma says something. People has been watching that fight, watching him lose his temper and say things that should have been a secret. ]

[ He reminds himself to breathe and replies after half a minute. ] Sorry... You-- You should just forget about tonight.

Easier said than done, I'm afraid.

[He smiles, but it's definitely a bit wan.]

...Do you want to talk, or would you rather not?

[ Man, this sucks a lot. You two are so complicated for his brain, really. He was hoping that the kiss would have fixed everything, but it didn't look like that right now.

He knelt down in front of his friend. It hurts, he knows. He can see it. What should he say in that moment... ]

Hey, buddy. I'm here for you, okay? You need to rest...

[ While Souji doesn't raise his head out of his hands, he gives a small nod and a shaky breath. Go going, Seta. You have truly outdone yourself, just let the whole centre know and hear things they shouldn't know about. ]

Yeah, I will soon... [ Though he doesn't move from his spot. His posture and lack of movement doesn't seem like he'll be heading off to bed anytime "soon" at all. ]

Hey, don't think it your fault or his, okay? Things just went a bit out of control, but nothing that a good night of rest, some nice food and all your friends can fix, okay? Listen to the older man here, okay?

[ He puts a hand on his shoulder. IF HE HAS TO, HE WILL PUT HIM IN HIS BED. ]

[He barely even knows Souji, let alone Yosuke, so he really doesn't know what to do about this.

But hey, might as well.]

... You okay?

[ While what Santa is doing might be a kind gesture, it only causes Souji to tense up. This is a terrible impression and something that he has not wanted others to see, not for the original Investigation team or anyone else. ]

[ He gives a small weak nod and swallows harshly. ] Yeah, I'll be fine. I just need some time... [ "Some time" being a few hours and the way his voice shakes, it's clear that he won't be all dandy in a few minutes. ]

[...]

Wanna be left alone, then?

[Osaka knows both of them- not that WELL, really, and this whole thing took her off-guard]

[... but still, he's helped her out a lot. It's her turn to do what she can.]

... hey.

[ Souji doesn't look up, keeping his hands to his face, but he at least acknowledges Osaka's presence by freezing and his breathing suddenly stopping. He wonders just how many people have watched this fight and how many have heard. Has the people next doors heard anything? Just how big of a crowd does he have here in the living room and how many have gone after Yosuke? ]

Hey... [ That's all he manages for now, clearly not in the state of a conversation. ]

You... you alright?

[WOW WHAT A GREAT QUESTION TO ASK, but, really, it's all she can think of at the moment because- yeah]

[ it's some time before Rise seeks him out, a little dampened from the rain, but no less worried. And for once, she doesn't reach for him immediately, only comes to a halt in front of him. ]

Senpai...
