[ Listening to Yosuke talk is nice. His passion about music is so clear whenever he's invited to say something about it ... which is why he asked. He'd fully intended to set this off, and is enjoying listening to it. He'll nod with a smile at the end. He wonders a little if Yosuke will pick something up.

His best friend's opinion of his music selection makes Yu laugh, the sound breathy and faint. ]

You think so?

[ Yu scans another CD, tapping the screen to pick the next track he wants. A clip of this will start to play. Only it won't sound exactly like Yu. ]

I found a few things I liked. I'm wondering which of these I should actually buy, though.

[ He nods. Of course he does! Yu is a relaxing guy to be around, it's not surprising his taste in music reflects that calm and collected demeanor. It's not Yosuke's first choice of tunes, but they're nice. He could see this being the good type of music to just sit outside and zone out to. ]

If you like 'em, why get only one?

[ Yu probably remembers Yosuke's CD stacks from his room in Inaba. So maybe he's not the right person to ask. ]

We're not here on a budget, right?

[ Hmm...he listens to this for a moment, too. ]

Personally, I think I like this one better. [ Not at all because it sounds just like Yu and Yosuke would listen to it on repeat that would be creepy. ]

[covenantal]

[ Yu hums, a thoughtful, warm sound, turning over the CDs in his hands. ]

No, you're right. I can definitely afford these with what I've saved up from my jobs.

[ He looks up at Yosuke's comment, his eyes searching his friend's face. That song... he likes it more? It's a bit of a sad one... about being alone. If he's honest with himself, he can identify with it. His life before Inaba... was a lot like what the song talks about. But now, there's just something strangely nostalgic about that, instead...

After all, he's not alone anymore.

Still, rather fondly: ]

Yeah, me too. But I think I'll just get all of them. [ His face crinkles with his smile. ] I can play you the full songs, that way.

[youraffection]

[ Let's be honest here, if Yu felt he couldn't afford both of them, Yosuke would've bought them for him anyway. ]

Totally worth it!

[ Besides, it's the kind of thing he'd pay the ends of his paychecks on. Not biased at all.

He can't help but smile a little at that, though he has to look away a moment later. ]

Yeah--that'd be cool...

[ Don't make it awkward, Yosuke. ]

[covenantal]

[ Too late, it's awkward.

Yosuke looks away, and it takes Yu a moment or two to catch up to the implications. Picutring the two of them sitting in his room, on his bed, sharing a pair of headphones...

With a soft "ah..." Yu ducks his head. Unfortunately(?), Yosuke will get to see the fact that the back of his neck and the tips of his ears have gone a bit red as he turns to head towards the registers. ]

... let me go pay for these. You can keep looking around, if you like. We're not in a hurry.

[ ... ... ... kinda just goes, after that. Feeling weird. ]
