How Could You? (Souyo)

Streams

Yu's POV:

"Um... You're not busy after school, are you, Narukami-kun?" Yukiko asks.

"I don't think so," I sigh.

Kanji's heading out with his mom for the afternoon, so that spoils anything I had planned.

"I see..." She nods. "Well, if nothing comes up, think of me, okay?"

I smile. "Sure, Yukiko."

Yosuke's POV:

"The hell's up with that?" I mutter.

"Hm?" Chie asks.

"Him and Yukiko...?"

"What about them?"

"Geez, you're hopeless..." I grumble. "I mean what they were talking about."

"...What were they talking about?"

"Shit, I don't know."

"Ask him," she scoffs.

"I- I can't just ask him," I frown. "It- it might be personal."

"If it was personal, he'd be talking to Kanji-kun about it," she shrugs.

I bite my lip.

"Hey, Yu...?" I poke him in the back as he turns. "Are you and Yukiko-san... dating?"

"Where did that come from?" He says.

"I- I mean... You're hanging out with her tonight, so... Well, is that a date?"

He pauses for a moment. "I guess you could call it that."

I find myself frowning. "I see."

But... he isn't interested in her. He told me so, didn't he? So... Why the sudden change of heart? What's going on?

"U-uh... I went to talk to Rise." I bounce up on my toes, trying to keep the conversation afloat.

But his shoulders tense up. "That so?"

"Y-yeah... I-it was pretty funny, actually, 'cause I completely messed up her gifts, and-"

I cut myself short, finding him glued to his cell.

"N-nevermind, then..." I mutter.

"Hm?" He raises his head.

I frown. "Is that Kanji?"

He opens his mouth slightly, probably to lie, but he nods instead.

"I see," I sigh.

"Sorry, Yosuke. Go sit down before class starts."

"...You just want rid of me, don't you?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" He scoffs.

"Nothing. Doesn't matter."

"Yosuke-"

"Enjoy your 'date'," I spit.

The two leave the classroom almost immediately after the bell rings.

I sigh, grabbing my bag.

Huh... It's raining tonight... We better check out the Midnight Channel...

Wait... if it's raining, where the hell are those two off to? ...Are they going back to his place? Or maybe the inn?

It's not like it's any of my business. He just doesn't like her. It's not right for him to lead her on...
