How Could You? (Souyo)

Won't Go

Yosuke's POV:

"Why don't you come join us for dinner, Yosuke?" Mom asks, peering her head through the doorway.

"I'm busy," I mutter, texting Yuna back.

"You've been holed up in here for the past three days," she groans. "Your father told me that the sampling was a success, by the way."

"Uh-huh..." I nod, half listening, half ignoring her.

She sighs, holding onto the door. "I hope she's worth it, Yosuke."

"What?" I lift my head up.

"Teddie told me."

"D-damn."

"You're a good boy, Yosuke," she says. "Don't let her take advantage of you."

"I'm not a... 'good boy'," I scoff.

"You always will be in my eyes," she smiles.

"A-and... She's great," I breathe. "She's sweet and kind, and..." I close my eyes. "She would never hurt me."

"I'm glad to hear that," she nods. "I'll bring your food up."

Yu's POV:

Seven already?

I purse my lips, getting off the couch.

I really ought to make dinner before Dojima-san comes back.

I leave my cell on the countertop as I grab out a few pots and pans.

I can't help but smile a little as I hear it ping.

My hands cramp up and my stomach turns in the most uncomfortable way.

What the fuck...?

He must sense my hesitation.

JunezPrince2000: kidding lol

JunezPrince2000: unless u

I swallow hard, my fingers hovering over the keyboard.

I know he's like this, so I shouldn't really be surprised.

But... asking Yuna? Really? I thought he respected her way too much for that...

Some sort of void fills my stomach. Maybe that's the hunger, but I can't be sure.

JunezPrince2000: u ther?

Yuna18: Sorry, I've got to go.

JunezPrince2000: huh
