Yosuke's POV:
His guard dog...? Seriously?
I'm so much more than that...
"Yosuke?"
"Coming." Dammit, now, I really am sounding like a freakin' dog.
I catch up with Yu, staying at his side. I don't know what to say.
"Thank you for earlier." He breaks the silence.
"Huh?"
"You didn't have to say anything," he shrugs. "I could have handled it."
"Yeah," I grunt, kicking the floor.
I sound like some creep now, huh? Always obsessed over him...
It's not like that. If anything, it's the other way around, dammit.
"But I do appreciate it," he smiles a little.
"...You don't have to say that."
"I mean it," he nods.
"Yeah, well... You'd do it for me," I say.
"...Is that the only reason you did it?"
I pause for a sec, catching my breath. Is it?
"Yep," I nod, hurrying on ahead.
"I know when you're lying," he frowns, catching up. "You can tell me anything."
I swallow hard, gritting my teeth. "I just..."
God, this is so embarrassing.
"Nothing," I sigh.
"Yosuke, please," he mutters. "I'm your best friend."
And if I say more, you'll think we're more than just friends.
"Naoto's here," I mumble. I cover my mouth, waiting for him to approach us.
"Good evening, Senpai," he smiles, bowing.
Kanji's at his side. Now he's pissing me off, too.
I try not to let it show, but I can feel Yu's embarrassment of me. It sucks.
"Are the two of you free this afternoon?" Naoto asks.
"Got plans," I murmur.
"Good," Kanji scoffs.
"That's enough," Naoto snaps. Y'know, you wouldn't be able to tell by his nerdy nature, but he is quite intimidating. "You'll both come along."
"What?" I snap.
"There's no need for hostility," he explains. "Why not clear the air?"
"Because it's none of your goddamn business," I scoff.
"Don't talk to him like that," Kanji yells.
"Oh, boo-freaking-hoo," I sneer. "Is Kanji getting all defensive over his boyfriend?"
"I heard you did the same with Yu," he counters.
My blood runs cold. Rumors fly fast, huh...?
"It's not like that," I say.
He rolls his eyes, but that only infuriates me more.
"It's not." I turn to Yu, exasperated. "Tell him, man."
"I-It's not," Yu splutters. "Honestly, Kanji."
Naoto chuckles softly. "Either way, we're all heading to Aiya's."

How Could You? (Souyo)
FanfikceKanji 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: ...
