[ For a long moment, Yu says nothing. Just stares at Yosuke quietly, expressionlessly, pale and insubstantial and unresponsive.
It didn't really seem like a happy memory.
It was ... the second time he'd asked Minato on a date. Minato had said yes. That should have been happy. It had also been on the heels of the labyrinth, and Dipper's death. He could easily just say that was why.
He knows that's not why.
This conversation keeps veering into territory he's not ready for. From the moment Yosuke came to his doorway, this conversation has been a thing he could never have been ready for. Coming out to his best friend was hard enough. Inadvertently admitting past feelings for his best friend was much worse. But confronting the fact that he hadn't been entirely happy in the relationship, with someone he knows isn't even completely comfortable with his (at least to Yosuke) new-found sexuality?
Yu opens his mouth very slightly and pulls in a slow, silent breath. ]
... things were complicated, [ he finally murmurs, letting his gaze move away to fix sightlessly on a wall. ] I didn't often know how he felt. Actually, that conversation was the first time I found out he was even comfortable with me.
