Yosuke's POV:
"Is this seat taken?" Yu grins before sitting down beside Rise.
"O-oh, go right ahead..." She says.
"Anyways, we got a name," Chie smiles. "Mitsuo Kubo."
"Good work, guys!" Teddie chuckles.
"Yeah," Yu smirks. "Good work, Rise."
"...We helped out, too, you know...?" Yukiko crosses her arms.
"Dude, what is up with you...?" Kanji mutters.
"Nothing's wrong with him," I scoff. "God forbid a guy be in love. Eh, Yu?"
"...L-love?" Rise splutters.
"A-anyways," he coughs, changing the subject. "We all better head inside the TV, you know?"
"Good call, Sensei," Teddie agrees. "Is everyone ready?"
"Uh, yeah... I just gotta talk to Yu beforehand," Kanji says.
I frown. "I don't think you do."
"...The hell would you know?" He scoffs.
"Kanji, this is important," Yu shrugs. "We should capture him as soon as possible."
"See?" I grin. "Yu gets it."
~~~
"Okay, I got him," Rise nods, dismissing her Persona. "He's this way. Let's go."
"Nice job," Yu smiles.
"H-huh? O-oh... thanks," she giggles.
I catch Kanji out of the corner of my eye.
He furrows his brow at me, but I only smirk.
Yu was always going to choose me over him. He shouldn't be so surprised.
~~~
"Holy shit," I splutter. "Is this... like some video game?"
We each stare in awe at the newly constructed dungeon before us.
"Well, he did say 'catch me if you can'," Yukiko shrugs. "So I guess he may think of this as a game..."
"All guys love games," Yu grins.
"And all girls love Teddie," Teddie chuckles.
~~~
"It has a weakness to wind!" Rise calls.
"On it!" I yell, calling out for Jiraya.
As soon as the battle's over, Yu, Rise and Teddie all head on ahead of us.
"Don't you think that's... weird?" Chie murmurs.
"Huh?" I ask. "What's weird?"
"Those two," she scoffs. "Yu-kun could barely tolerate her just the other day."
"...You're right," Yukiko sighs.
"Don't overthink it," I shrug. "The guy's just... had a change of heart, alright?"
"...He's never been so interested in anyone before," Chie mutters.
"What, you jealous?" I smirk.
"Of course not," she snaps. "It's just... weird."
"I thought you wanted her," Kanji grumbles.
"Huh?" I say.
"Rise," he grunts.
"...Well, she's not all I imagined," I chuckle. "Let's just say that."
"You're a real dick, you know that, Yosuke?" Chie scoffs.

How Could You? (Souyo)
FanfictionKanji was just a decoy; Yu knew that. He also knew he had no chance with Yosuke. Even then, he couldn't let go. Because he didn't care what it took; he needed his partner more than anyone else. ~~~ cover credits - @CreamyGhost on twitter ~~~ Info: ...
