Log:
[Since those missing days, Yosuke's been doing a pretty good job of avoiding Souji. After that dream -- or not dream, if memory served him right -- of speaking to Saki, of her saying they'd been married, things were falling into perspective. It's been nearly a month and a half since Souji did that... thing that he didn't wish to speak of. And just as long since he told Souji that he needed to think about it.]

[But he couldn't avoid it forever. Whatever is going to happen, however it turns out, he knows he has to face it. If he doesn't, things will just continuously get worse until their friendship really does fall apart. And despite everything, that's the last thing he wants. So with a reluctant motion, he steps into the office, knowing full well that's where he'd be.]

Yo, hahaha... [Chuckling very awkwardly.] Uh, you got a minute, dude? We... really need to talk.

That's not weird, it's stupid! Wait, that's not what I--- ARGH. [Everything is coming out wrong all the time forever. Shaking his foot though, by swiveling his whole body in the chair. This is totally a reasonable way to get free.]

You're totally at an unfair advantage right now, you know!

[tarotcards]

[ And Souji just responses to everything by giving a large burst of laughter. After everything, so much stress and tension, it feels really good to finally be back to their normal selves. ]

Gotta take every advantage you can get, but alright, alright. [ Letting go of Yosuke's foot now but hopefully, Yosuke doesn't swivel himself off the chair and onto the floor... ]

[skillspanner]

[He does almost fall, but he manages to catch himself. And immediately bursts into a fit of laughter that he can't even begin to control.]

[It takes a good few minutes before he does, and when he can finally edge in a few breaths, he has to stop to wipe the tears from his eyes.]

Man... hahaha... I can't even remember the last time I laughed like that....

[tarotcards]

[ Souji leans backwards, placing his weight back onto his palms. He follows in laughter for those few minutes, stopping half a minute before Yosuke, taking in deep breaths. ]

It has been in a long while. [ He pulls up one of his hands over to wipe his eyes as well before looking straight at Yosuke. ] We're back in action, Partner. [ Back in action to be their normal and dorky selves. All of it. ]

[skillspanner]

Me too, man. [There's still a bit of a laugh in his voice, but his tone is a bit serious - more genuine. That gratefulness is shining through as he finally stands from the chair and flops on the floor next to Souji.] I was starting to worry things would be weird forever.

[tarotcards]

[ Turning his head a bit to look over to Yosuke. ] I was getting worried as well, but we've made it through, even if it took us a while.

[skillspanner]

I guess that's the thing about best friends, huh?

[tarotcards]

[ And more, but Souji holds his tongue on that. ]

Got that right. [ He outstretches his fist a bit towards Yosuke. Look, brofists. He's learned a bit about this stuff from Johto! ]

[skillspanner]

[The motion brings a massive smile to Yosuke's face. He outstretches his arm to return the gesture. Despite everything, Yosuke looks more relaxed than he has in months.]

It's unbreakable, right?
