How Could You? (Souyo)

Secret

Yosuke's POV:

First off, Teddie was King, which only ended badly for Yukiko.

Then Teddie got the red mark again, which undeniably pissed Kanji off.

To score a hattrick, he manages to kiss Rise, on top of all that.

Dumbass bear...

Naoto got Yu at one point, which really worried me. First off, Yu's way too far gone, and secondly, it certainly didn't please Kanji.

It wasn't much; he just forced some hypothetical questions onto Yu. Like, 'would you lie to please someone?'

A little weird, sure, but the guy's pretty strange as a whole.

"Alrighty!" Rise slurs. "Who's the King now!?"

Yu slowly begins to unbutton the top of his shirt, flexing his neck outwards. We all turn to look at him, 'cause... well, damn.

It might just be the lighting, but... he looks really hot right now.

Not that I find him attractive personally... You just can't fight the facts.

He grabs his TV glasses from his shirt pocket, sliding them up his nose as he gulps down the rest of his drink.

Don't tell me he...

"I'm the King," he announces at long last.

He stretches his legs out as he lays back on the couch, almost pushing me off the edge.

I can't lie, though... It's getting pretty hot in here...

I tug at my shirt, hoping nobody will notice.

Shit, did he really need to do all of that?

"Ooh!!" Yukiko clasps her hands together.

"Um, I request reasonable demands," Chie mutters.

"Nuh-uh!" Rise pouts. "It has to be something good!"

"Smoochies, Sensei!" Teddie squeals.

"S-Smoochies?" Naoto splutters.

"We'd best get going, actually," Kanji grunts, standing up.

"Sit down!" Rise yells. "You're ruining the game!"

"How am I—!?"

"Number four," Yu breathes, voice thick with the alcohol. "My lap is yours."

I slowly look down to my chopstick, swallowing hard.

Oh, fuck, no...

"Awww," Rise groans. "It's not me..."

"It's not me, either," Yukiko frowns.

"It's me!!" Teddie laughs.

"No, it's not," I scoff.

They all turn to me, and I immediately regret opening my mouth.

"How do you know...?" Chie asks slowly.

"B-Because, uh..."

"It's you, ain't it?" Kanji grunts.

I shake my head. "I'll swap with Rise."

"Nuh-uh!" She says. "No swapsies!"

"You're the one who actually likes him," I snap.

"Just play the game, Yosuke-kun!" Yukiko hiccups.

I shuffle a little in my seat, further from Yu.

'Cause this is all bullshit.
