How Could You? (Souyo)

Ghosts

Yosuke's POV:

"So... When's our free period?" I ask, flipping through the itinerary.

"Uhm... We don't get one," Chie mutters.

"What!?"

"Apparently Mr. Morooka planned this trip all the way back in April," Yukiko says.

"Dammit," I groan. "He's still haunting us, isn't he?"

"How does that make you feel?" Yu whispers.

"Huh?" I turn myself around, feeling the train jerking beneath us as I sit back down.

"You... found his body, Yosuke," he mumbles. "Are you okay?"

"Yu, I'm fine," I sigh.

"You can talk to me."

"I'm serious, alright?" I grunt. "Look, I don't even wanna talk about him right now."

"I understand," he nods.

"Let's just have a blast!" Rise smiles.

"Yeah," I breathe.

King Moron's death? Yeah, it was a shock, but... Nothing major, right?

Why is he so worried about my wellbeing all of a sudden?

I mean, he is a nice guy, but...

I guess things are still tough on him, too...

And I didn't exactly make that any easier, did I?

Yu's POV:

"Did Kanji show up?" I ask.

"I saw him earlier," Rise shrugs. "He was with Naoto-kun."

No surprise there.

"Speaking of, shouldn't you be in the first-year area, Rise-chan?" Chie scoffs.

"Sure, but they're all boring," she groans. "Being with you guys is so much better."

"Glad you think so," Yukiko smiles. "I think we're heading to the hotel as soon as we get to Port Island Station."

"I can't wait," Chie yawns. "I'm exhausted."

"Why don't you have a nap, Chie-senpai?" Rise says.

"What, like Yosuke?" She grins.

I turn to my side.

Yosuke's headphones are blaring in his ears, and his head is rolled back onto the seat, mouth agape, snoring slightly.

...It's cute.

Chie takes out her cellphone.

"H-Hey, what are you doing?" I splutter.

"Capturing the moment," she smirks.

"Ooh, good idea, Chie!" Yukiko chuckles.

"Come on, he's not going to find that funny," I frown.

"It's just a picture, Senpai," Rise giggles.

I shuffle a little in my seat before the train hits a bump.

My elbow hits the window side and I jerk back, cursing.

Then I feel a heavy thud on my shoulder.

I freeze up, fearing for the worst.

"Now that's a moment," Chie laughs.

The flash makes Yosuke shuffle a little before cuddling back into my shoulder.

I can't breathe.

Come on, Yosuke... Please get up...
