[ As with any Shadow, Yosuke doesn't like feeling that he isn't in control of the situation, there's an odd tension around his heart. Yet, he can only relent when Yu reaches out, holding his face in a way that neither he nor Yosuke proper know how to react to. Instead, he just watches, golden eyes scanning Yu's face and soaking up every bit of this total attention.
He winces slightly at the press of his friend's nails, but doesn't move. It feels like a show of his own strength and stubbornness, but the reality is he simply doesn't want to move. Not when Yu is focused on him.
At the end of it, Yosuke let's out an airy laugh, a little too sweet for a Shadow, but a little too harsh for Yosuke. ]
Don't be an idiot. The only one setting up impossible standards is yourself, partner. [ There's mirth in his eyes, mixed with a twisted adoration. He's straddling the wall now, so that he can more easily face the other boy. ] I've thought you were the shit since day one and you've only ever proven me right over and over and over. It used to piss me off because I knew I could never be that way. But, you know? I'm cool with riding the curtails behind you. "Second banana", right? What's that make me if you're dragging yourself through the dirt, huh?
[ He reaches out, gripping onto Yu's knee. ]
In some ways? This place is a blessing. It's twisted and fucked up but I'm selfish enough to enjoy it. You know why? Because it just puts off your departure a little bit longer.
