[daily-hanamura]

[nero-vanderwolf]

Of all the people Yosuke would be expecting to get a call from at 10:14 at night, Yu is decidedly not one of them. 

And of all the reasons he can run through that his partner could be calling him, the real answer is decidedly not one of them. 

“Hey, partner. Wanna sleep over at my house tonight? Nanako-chan is staying at a friend’s house and Uncle is working late again,” Yu’s voice says. He sounds cheerful enough, but Yosuke’s known him long enough to hear the undertone of anxiety hidden in his words. 

Yosuke knows Yu hates being alone. The guy can’t stand it, even if it’s just for a night or two. Hey- Yosuke isn’t making fun of the guy or anything, god no. It’s just... Something he’s picked up on throughout their time together. 

Investigation Team or not, Yosuke still considers Yu his partner. And it’d be pretty damn cruel if he said no to what’s really, in all logic, a very simple request. And besides, it isn’t as though they haven’t slept at each other’s houses before. 

So Yosuke grins as he grabs his keys from his locker and tosses his apron inside like always. Far be it from him to subject their leader to more suffering. 

“Sure thing, partner. Want me to grab some clothes from my place?” He asks, shifting his phone to his other hand so he can clip his keys to his jeans. Thank god for carabiners. 

“No, no need. You know I always keep spares for you here, Yosuke,” Yu says. He sounds a bit excited now, as though the idea of spending time with Yosuke is something worth looking forward to. 

Yosuke would never admit it, but it gives him a bit of an ego rush. His beloved partner, the cool and untouchable transfer from Tokyo, the kickass leader of the Investigation Team... Is excited about a sleepover. With him, Yosuke Hanamura- Trash Prince of Junes. 

It really does wonders for his ego. 

“Yeah, yeah. I don’t know what I was thinking asking that,” Yosuke says with a small laugh, brushing off the warmth that spreads to his cheeks as a bodily reaction to the chill outside. It’s September, which naturally means it’s getting colder out. Dammit, why didn’t he grab a jacket? 

Yu laughs on the other line, and Yosuke yet again feels his cheeks warm up. He did that. Hemade Yu laugh. 

A quiet part of him wonders if he laughs that way around the others. If Chie’s snarky comments get the rumble of a chuckle, or if Teddie’s bad-but-well-intentioned bear puns make him snort. 

He wonders if this laugh, soft and breathy and quiet, was reserved just for him. He wonders how many other things are meant for him too, if any. 

Do his eyes sparkle like that when he talks to one of his plethora of friends? Do his lips quirk when they make a bad joke like they do around him? Does he laugh like that around anyone else, like he’s shy of how his laugh sounds even though it’s one of the best sounds in the world- 

Woah, Yosuke. Reel it in a bit. Thinking about a guy’s general physique is one thing (nothing wrong with appreciating a nice build!), but thinking about smaller details like that? That’s a bit far. 

Details like his lips and how they take on a soft smile whenever Yosuke talks. Details like his hair and how soft and perfect it always seems to look, even on the days with the worst weather. Details like his eyes and how their shade of grey seems to shift with his mood. When Yu is happy, they’re a light grey. When he’s angry, they’re stormy grey. When he’s focusing, they look like steel. 

...Jesus fuck. What is wrong with him tonight? Why does it seem like no matter what he does, his thoughts always seem to shift back to Yu? 

It’s now that he realises that he’s still on call with the guy- and that neither of them have spoken a single word since Yosuke left Junes. He shivers again, and breaks the comfortable silence. 

“Hey, partner... Don’t suppose you’d be willing to turn on the kotatsu? It got colder than I thought and...” 

“And you forgot a jacket?” Yu responded with an airy sigh. He doesn’t sound annoyed, thankfully. More like... Exasperated. Yu’s long-since become used to Yosuke’s antics, and treats it like another classic Yosuke Blunder. 

“Sorry,” Yosuke responds automatically. He doesn’t know particularly why he’s apologising, but it slips out. 

He can almost picture Yu shaking his head as he grows closer to the Dojima household, and as Yu’s voice drags him back from whatever stupid wild fantasy Yosuke was about to cook up again. 

“Am I going to have to start texting you every day to remind you?” He asks, and Yosuke knows he’s joking, he honestly does, but he can’t stop the blush and defensive splutter. 

“Wha- hey, now, I’m not that forgetful! It was just this once, honest!” He says, and he sees the door of the Dojima residence slide open and shut. Yu’s figure stands there, staring him down. As always, he looks poised and perfect. 

Yosuke hangs up, breaking into a jog to reach his partner. 

Yu stuffs his phone into his pocket and extends his hand. Yosuke is confused at first, but then- 

Yu tugs him into a hug, his slender arms muscled from so much time in the TV world- 

Good lord, he can’t even do something as simple as hug his partner anymore without his imagination running wild with fantasies about being picked up and carried like some girl- 

“You’re freezing. Let’s get you inside and warmed up. The kotatsu should be heated by now, and I made us both some hot chocolate. Don’t worry, there’s extra whipped cream on yours.” 

Yosuke swallows harder than he means to. Yu’s voice is soft in his ear, his body warm against Yosuke’s own. If not for the bitter chill outside, Yosuke could fall asleep here. Yu always did have a talent for making him feel safe. 

“Thanks, partner. You... Really know me well, huh?” He manages to choke out. If Yu noticed, he doesn’t give any sign. 

“Well, I’d hope so. I think I’d have failed as your partner if I didn’t know things like this,” Yu responds with ease. It makes Yosuke’s throat feel even tighter. 

“Like knowing how I like my hot cocoa? That’s such a little thing, dude,” he says, laughing to lighten the tone. In reality, he can’t understand why Yu would make such a big deal out of such a small thing- 

Scratch that. It’s Yu they’re talking about. Sometimes there is no ‘why’, like when he befriended that detective Adachi for no other reason than he wanted to. 

Yu shrugs, slowly pulling away from the hug. Almost entirely subconciously, Yosuke finds himself chasing Yu’s warmth, leaning against him again. 

“Come on, Yosuke, you’ll catch a cold. We can cuddle more inside,” Yu says, and brings him inside. It isn’t until he settles under the kotatsu beside Yu that he realises what was said. 

...He supposes they are, technically, cuddling. They’re leaning against each other watching some shitty movie on a local channel, and Yosuke has never felt more at peace. 

Or, at least, until they settle down for bed. They’ve already changed into their pyjamas, and Yosuke is frankly exhausted. His shift at Junes was brutal, and he’s ready to crash. 

Unfortunately, he might have to sleep on the sofa in Yu’s room. There’s no spare futon. 

“I can sleep on the sofa, Yosuke, it’s fine-” Yu hurries to say as Yosuke stares at the room in general, trying to riddle out a solution to the predicament. 

As he ponders, he notices a few things about Yu’s room. Scattered about are various keepsakes and treasures from his friends and their adventures. 

A little knit rabbit sits on his desk- no doubt a gift from Kanji. A Jack Frost doll stands watch over the room from atop the shelf like a shrine’s liondog. It’s oddly comforting, despite the doll’s unsettling appearance. 

There’s no sudden trigger for his idea. It hits him like a kick to the gut and leaves him just as dizzy and breathless. 

“I have an idea,” he says slowly, “but you might not like it.” 

Yu frowns, brows furrowed under his fringe. He looks almost like he’s pouting- it’s cute. 

“What’s your idea, then? I’m all ears,” he says regardless. Always willing to hear others out even when he has his doubts- that’s the Yu Yosuke knows. His partner. 

“We share the futon,” Yosuke says. Yu visibly relaxes, his expression smoothing into one of almost-relief. His eyes shift from a stone-grey to a light grey. Nervous to happy. 

“Oh, okay. That’s not too bad. Of course, if you get uncomfortable in the middle of the night, just wake me up. I’ll move to the sofa.” 

Yosuke resists the urge to shake his head. He feels dizzy enough as it is, for some reason. 

Yu turns the bright overhead off, clicking on his small bedside lamp as he crawls into the futon. The light from the lamp bathes the room in a soft, warm glow. It makes Yu look particularly squishy, his hair falling into his eyes. Yosuke doesn’t want to keep him up much longer, so he slips into the futon beside him. 

“Goodnight, partner,” he says. Yu smiles at him, soft and sleepy, and it sends butterflies into his stomach. 

Oh. 

Oh. 

Oh, no. This is why he’s been thinking these things, this is why he’s been focused on Yu so much. 

Oh. He owes Kanji a massive apology. 

Yu shifts where he’s laying, and suddenly Yosuke is being held close against his partner’s body. He can hear Yu’s heartbeat, steady and calm as ever. The sound helps calm him, somehow. 

This sudden realisation is a problem for tomorrow’s Yosuke. 

For now, he’s content to simply lay in the arms of his partner, safe and loved. 

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!! SOUYO FLUFF!!!!!!!!!!!! they're so sweet its rotting my teeth out ghhgggaahhh... yosuke's slow realization that he has feelings for yu... he DOES owe kanji an apology. i feel like souyo is a yu fell first and yosuke fell harder situation. i think yu loves yosuke and purposefully puts him in situations to see if yosuke likes him back, like the hugging. yosuke realizing how he feels warm and safe with yu, how they both see super small details in each other like how yosuke likes his hot chocolate or how yu's eyes change. i love the way you added yu's people pleaser traits to when he says he'll take the couch for yosuke. ugghhhh they're so stupid and i love them they should cuddle and kiss a million times thank you so much for the food

[hypogryffin]

[makemyvoice-brandnew]

Yukiko: Wh-why are you always with me?

@tvstarkuma said: “Yosuke! I bought a video game with my Junes money. Wanna play with me?” It was a Kirby game.

Unprompted | Always accepting

Thank god today was a slow day at work and he made it home early. His mom had prepared the most delicious okonomiyaki ever for lunch, bringing immense joy and warmth into his system after the chill he had to endure. February could be a cold month. He was in his room, laying on his bed when Teddie caught his attention, making him look up, brows rose with interest.

"Oh yeah? I know that pink thing is Kirby, right? Sure, we can play." With a small noise and a grunt, he got up to sit down on the cushions on the floor after booting up his console. "Put the game in and we can start." It's been a while since they last played anything together, truth be told.

Maybe he missed this deep down.

Small Headcanon/question in regards for I<3U AU

The Cut Confession Voice Lines.... How likely is Yosuke going to use it lol

Yosuke using the unused voiced lines and open a Yosuke Romance Route that's corrupted as hell but it works...

I feel like as part of the discovery, Y(o)u was planning on full rank social link with Yosuke when the Cut Confession Scene became real and Y(o)u became so confused since Yosuke revealed himself fully as a glitch precisely at that moment. (Since you can max out Yosuke's link pretty early. I can imagine Yosuke manipulating the weather to let the player interact more often with him too.)

Or that's my headcanon for the I<3U AU. I also feel like the Eye Glitch is Yosuke playing around in the program.

omg I've completely lost track in answering this question I am so SO SORRY ANON.... DW ILL MAKE IT UP TO YOU...

oh he's absolutely going to use the old voicelines to add emphasis that he wants more than just recognition to the player, but he wants your affection, that human feeling you call 'intimacy' that an empty hollow defect virus like him yearns and craves for.

as a 'suprise!' no need for mods to implement the romance option — he can do the job for you

and yes, that's how it exactly happened! Glitches and bugs all over the screen that it spreads across the tv. that crazy euphoric feeling knowing that his digital feelings were mutual... and u are so smart anon, you basically wrote down all the things my little knock on wood brain cannot write on!!! hehehehehe <3333

and yes you are right on the nose with his Eye acting freaky. It's meant for Yosuke to look beyond the screen, so he can directly gaze at you. Like an ability to break the fourth wall by force

[townofcadence]

It's time for Artair's favorite guy, Poosuke Yosuke to appear :]

".....Why do you look like a low-quality jpeg of yourself?"

[nero-vanderwolf]

One fact about Yu Narukami: He is hopelessly and utterly in love with his best friend. 

It started as nothing more than a classroom crush, developed after helping him out of the trash. Despite being hurt, the guy had still thanked him, still amiled and introduced himself. Yosuke, he had said. As they walked to school together, Yu repeated the name in his head. Yosuke. 

It was really just a nosedive from there. After the murders started up, the two partnered up to try and solve the case. They had discovered the TV world together, and Yosuke had had to face his Shadow- the manifestation of all of his worst thoughts and feelings. 

And yet Yu hadn’t felt an ounce of desire to run, to abandon Yosuke. No, instead he had felt the inexplicable urge to hug him close, promise they’d stay friends even if that awful thing came back. They’d stay partners. 

Fast forward to now, early September, and Yu is trying not to freak out, because it just so happens that he’s sharing a goddamned futon with his best friend- the guy he definitely doesn’t just have a crush on anymore. 

He holds Yosuke close, praying his heartbeat doesn’t give away how he feels. Earlier, in the spur of the moment, he had pulled Yosuke into a hug outside. Of course, he’d played it off as trying to warm Yosuke up- he had forgotten his jacket again. 

But Yosuke had tried to hug him again after he pulled away. Maybe Yu was (and still is) reading too far into it, but it’s still nice to pretend. 

Now, of course, Yosuke has been cuddling him for the past ten minutes and hasn’t made a single move to pull away except to shift occasionally. He seems perfectly content to lie here, but Yu feels himself growing restless. He’s debating saying something into the darkness, just to see if Yosuke is still awake, but his partner beats him to it. 

“Did you know your eyes change colors sometimes?” 

Yu, admittedly, has to take a moment to process what Yosuke just said. Of all the things he expected to leave his partner’s mouth, this... wasn’t one of them. 

“Do they?” He replies. They’re both murmuring, as though exchanging secrets that they only want themselves and the heavens to hear. 

Yosuke nods against him, the movement pressing into his chest. He hugs Yosuke just a bit tighter. 

“Yeah. Different shades of grey. When you’re happy, they’re this really pretty light shade. When you’re upset, they get all dark. I think it’s kinda cute.” 

Wait. Waitwaitwaitwait pause. Did Yosuke just call him cute? Just... tossed the word out there. He isn’t even backtracking, but Yu feels like every cognitive function has come screeching to a halt. 

And yet, he’s still functioning just enough to tease Yosuke. He can’t pass up a perfectly good opportunity, after all. 

“Really? Do you give that much thought to the rest of me?” He asks as Yosuke shifts himself again. Unfortunate timing for Yosuke, perfect timing for Yu- he comes up to eye-level with Yu just in time for him to see the blush bloom on Yosuke’s cheeks. 

“Wh- hey! I’m trying to be nice here!” He says, but Yu know he isn’t really angry. Just flustered. It’s cute. 

Yu smiles, his best ‘I-love-you-partner’ grin that he saves specially for Yosuke, and it works like a charm. He huffs, looking anywhere but at Yu as he settled down back into his arms. 

They’re still at eye-level with each other, though, and even the darkness of the room can’t hide the way Yosuke’s gaze flicks to Yu’s lips. For a second, Yu forgets how to breathe like a human person. 

“...Your smile,” Yosuke finally provides. Yu tilts his head into the pillow. His... smile? 

“Don’t look at me like that, it’s just- You have a lot of smiles for people, partner. You have this, like, default smile that you give people you don’t know, but with Chie and Yukiko and everyone else, it’s... softer. And-” 

He stops talking, face now bright red. Yu goes to pull away, give him some space to breathe, but Yosuke’s hand flies up and clutches his shoulder. 

“...And, uh... Sometimes it feels like you have one for me, too. Just for me,” he finishes off with a mumble. Yu can’t help the smile that creeps up his face. The one specially reserved for Yosuke. His best ‘I-love-you-partner’ grin that always works like a charm. 

“Well, you’d be right. I do,” he says, his voice not much more than a whisper. He can’t bring himself to speak much louder than this, scared of breaking whatever spell has caused them to spill their hearts like this. 

Yosuke brings his gaze back to Yu’s face. His expression is unbelievably soft, and Yu allows himself to think, even for just a moment, that this expression is just for him, like his smile is just for Yosuke. 

“You’re doing it. The smile,” he mutters. Their faces are close- for a moment, Yu wonders what it’d be like to kiss him. 

He drags his mind out of the gutter just long enough to reply. “Of course I am. It’s you.” 

Yosuke looks like he’s struggling for words. He opens his mouth for a moment, then closes it again. 

“Can I, uh... Do something?” He finally asks, and Yu doesn’t waste a second in nodding. 

“Go ahead. I trust you, partner,” he answers easily, and he’d swear on his Persona that Yosuke seemed to blush even more at his response. 

And of all the things he expected Yosuke to do, he didn’t expect him to tilt forward, pressing their lips together in a kiss. 

It isn’t magical or heavenly, but it’s Yosuke, his partner and best friend since what feels like forever. It’s Yosuke, and that’s more than Yu could ever ask for. 

After what feels both too short and too long a time, Yu has to pull away. His lungs are burning, as though Yosuke stole all the oxygen out of them. He doesn’t go far though- just rests his forehead against Yosuke’s, both panting. 

“I love you, partner. A lot,” Yosuke whispers, and Yu feels like his air has been stolen once again. Nevertheless, he replies in earnest. 

“I love you too, partner. A lot.”

"Ugh, this sucks. I don't even want to start on that-" [HI !]

"Ins-bear-ation!" Teddie declared while interrupting Yosuke's own speech, "That's what you need, Yosuke! And I'm just the bear to give it to you."

It wasn't like Teddie could do anything else, really. School tasks, be it reports, essays, exams, or homework, were all new to the bear. Besides keeping up morale, he had no practical ways of assisting. Yosuke had a difficult task ahead of him, that much was certain, so Teddie wanted to help the only way he could.

"I bear-live in you, Yosuke. You'll write this paper in no time." Affectionate pats on the shoulder for Yosuke. Feel the soft, delicate touch of Teddie's hand. That was the hand of a gentle-bear!

"And I'm staying right by your side all night. I will not sleep until you're done." And so he sat down, smiled, and stared at him. Unblinking.
