Why would I joke about something like that?

[ so, so innocently. ]

I really was thinking about you all day. I couldn't stop picturing your smile. That must mean my heart was with you, right?

[ Yeah.

It's definitely working.

Yosuke visibly flusters as he cheeks start to take on a darker hue. He unfolds his arms and reaches forward, giving Yu a gentle shove. ]

Okay, now I know you're messing with me.

[ Just swings slightly with the shove, casual as you please.

But on the oh so gentle swing back towards Yosuke his hands snap out to grab his boyfriend's hands... and then intertwine all their fingers together. He's smiling in a way that's a little more real this time. ]

It's the truth, you know. I've always liked your smile. Maybe that's why my crush on you started, in the beginning.

[ Yu is absolutely the biggest dork in the world and Yosuke wonders why it took him so long to realize how smitten he's been.

He's surprised, but doesn't fight as Yu links their hands together. The blood rushing to his head isn't helping at all with the blush that he would try to hide if he could. Though he tries to keep his edge, his gaze does soften. ]

Okay so first you send me a playlist of love songs, spend a night running around with me in a deserted playground, and now you tell me that you've always liked my smile...are you even real?

[ Tilts his head, a normal motion for him, but it's made much funnier by the way it makes his upside-down hair flop around. ]

Hm. Maybe not. I could be a ghost.

[ Pushes on Yosuke's hands without letting go. The motion will make the both of them swing, very slightly. ]

Would you still date me if I were a ghost, Yosuke?

[ It's funny and almost painfully endearing. The whole scene is, actually. Yosuke's heart has to work harder in his chest, but it's definitely not all due to gravity.

They swing and Yosuke starts to think he could get used to this. So he pushes back a little, cementing his grip on Yu's. ]

No way. Sorry, but I'm not into dead people.

That's a shame.

[ A grin flits across his mouth, and Yu pushes in turn. They'll get a rhythm going. Slowly back and forth.

They must look like idiots. ]

Think we know any good necromancers?

[ He likes this. It's simple and silly and makes him feel lightheaded for numerous reasons. He's smiling through his objections, totally taken in by the other boy--his boyfriend.

Wow. ]

That's kind of an old time gig. I don't think there's a section on Craigslist.

[ There aren't many people, he figures, who would swing upside down from a set of monkey bars with him while they talk about necromancers. But Yosuke... Yosuke is one of those people.

He really cannot stop thinking about how lucky he is. ]

We could put an ad out on Retrospec. [ Very seriously: ] "Wanted: one necromancer to bring a teenage ghost back to life so that he and his boyfriend can be happy--"

[ He might not always indulge this level of ridiculousness, but he's in a good mood. Yu tends to push the boundaries of Yosuke's ability to play along, though.

Yosuke rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which is particularly funny with his hair on end. Without giving himself a chance to second guess his resolve, Yosuke bravely leans forward and plants a quick but firm kiss on Yu's lips.

There. ]

---S-See? You're real.

[ ....

i-iyaan.

Thanks to all the blood already in his head, his blush, when it comes, isn't that noticeable. Yu feels like he's on fire, though. Yosuke just leaned forward and kissed him--

--just like that--

--like it was so simple!

It sure did shut him up, though.

Yu has to let go of one of Yosuke's hands so he can hide his face, instead. From between splayed fingers he glances shyly at Yosuke and murmurs: ]

... when you put it like that, I guess it must be true.

Edited 2017-06-15 06:27 (UTC)

[ He's a little surprised, but pleased by his own actions. Yu looks flustered as hell and Yosuke feels like he's got a leg up in their competition. ]

You're so weird sometimes...

[ There's amusement in his gaze. ]

[ Emotionally spent from a single kiss, Yu will let go of Yosuke's other hand and let his arms dangle over his head again, sighing and shutting his eyes. ]

You still kissed me.

[ So being weird is ok. ]

[ Pointing it out, of course, makes Yosuke feel a little less brave about it. Kissing is something he's always been interested in (who wouldn't be?) but has had a very, very short history with. He purses his lips for a moment. With his hands free, he tries to straighten out his own shirt. ]

Well, you--you said you wouldn't mind practice...

I wouldn't, [ Yu murmurs, and far more smoothly than he'd manage it if he were letting himself think about it, Yu reaches out to take Yosuke's hands and uses those as leverage to pull his boyfriend in. It's time for Yu to initiate an upside-down kiss, only his is on the softer, chaster side.

He doesn't think he can stay upside-down much longer, but at least he can sneak in a kiss like this, right?

When he pulls back he'll smirk, happy and sly at once. ]

... we'll need a lot of it, after all.

[ It seems like they're both testing their own boundaries. Dangling from the monkey bars makes it easy for them to move back and forth and the momentum of being pulled forward is almost as good as the light touch of Yu's lips against his own. For the second time.

Well, third time that evening.

It's a sweet but painfully short kiss and Yosuke is left with a very close view of a very enticing look on Yu's face. ]

...Yeah? How much?

[ He's dizzy but hopeful. This might be an okay way to lose, if that's what's happening. ]

It would be easier to just show you, wouldn't it?

[ When did he get game? Well, it's really because he's not thinking about it at all. When he's not letting his nerves get the better of him, this feels easy. Fun, even. Tugging, Yu will lean in again for a kiss that lingers, this time, slow and satisfying.

(... he's also still trying to win. Maybe this distraction tactic will work, if he doesn't make himself too dizzy between the kissing and the hanging upside down first.) ]

[ Yu's swag levels are rising exponentially. Yosuke won't be able to keep up at this rate. He even closes his eyes expectantly as Yu moves in and, well, he's not disappointed at all.

Yosuke sighs, moving his lips gently against Yu's. Yeah, he could get used to this. It's exciting and relaxing at the same time...

...maybe a little too relaxing. Yosuke is, in fact, getting so into the idea of just hanging out and kissing this guy that he allows the muscles in his thighs and calves to loosen just a little too much and, well-- ]

Ack!

[ He nearly drops, quickly grabbing onto Yu (sorry Yu) and catching himself with one leg before he slips out of the bars entirely. ]

Yosuke!

[ Yu grabs him without thinking, though saving his friend while they're both upside down wouldn't be easy. Once he's sure Yosuke won't immediately fall, Yu immediately sets himself free from the bars, curling up to grab one and free his legs so he can drop down. Ah, here comes the dizziness rushing in.... doing his best not to let it stop him, Yu will give his head a quick shake and turn to face Yosuke. He'll lean over to wrap his arms around Yosuke's torso, laughing a little. ]

Here. I've got you.

[ Should Yosuke trust him, Yu will support him while Yosuke gets his last leg free and gets back on his feet. Awkward and acrobatic at once, the pair of them. ]

[ He appreciates it, Yu. He really does. Yosuke kind of awkwardly hangs there until the other boy is able to help him down.

It's arguably a very strange position to be in, upside down and while Yu holds onto him, but Yosuke has to laugh at himself a little as he takes hold of Yu as well. ]

Okay...

[ Carefully, he slips his leg out between the monkey bars. ]

[ Yosuke will drop once his leg is free, but Yu is ready for it, bending his knees slightly to accommodate the added weight as Yosuke's feet hit the ground. He'll hold Yosuke steady until the other boy can stand up straight, then let go...

... only to look at Yosuke for a moment before pulling the other boy into his arms in a warm, tight embrace. He'll hold Yosuke close like that, arms wrapped around his boyfriend's back, before finally murmuring in Yosuke's ear: ]

I won.

[ It is most definitely dizzying, although his head spinning may not be entirely from the fall. He blinks as he's straighten, confronted with a whole lot of Yu and, well, that's not necessarily a bad thing. The embrace is nice and close, prompting Yosuke to automatically wrap his arms around Yu's waist in return.

The blood having rushed to his head doesn't help, but his face still manages to heat up when Yu's lips are so close to his ear. He almost shudders. ]

Y-Yeah...

[ He swallows before coughing, trying to play it off cool, even as he speaks essentially into Yu's shoulder. ]

I guess that's two meals I owe you.

That's right.

[ Yu tucks his head against Yosuke's, sighing and letting his eyes slip shut. He could stay here all night, warm in Yosuke's arms.

Unfortunately for him, just having warm arms around him and feeling safe and contented is making him remember in a real hurry how exhausted he really is. It slams into him from head to toe, a bone deep tiredness that makes him want to pass out right there on the playground.

Instead he'll sigh again, pressing a kiss to Yosuke's hair. ]

What time is it? [ His voice is a sleepy mumble. It's got to be nearing 3:30 by now, right? Or later...? ]

[ He can almost feel the shift in fatigue in Yu's form. The rumble in Yu's chest as he speaks is louder than his voice, but Yosuke can hear him as well as he can feel him.

He shifts, pulling his cell phone out of his back pocket and holds it up behind Yu's shoulder so he can read the screen. ]

Oh...shit, it's 3:47. Um...what time are we meeting everyone?

Two o'clock, [ he says promptly, in the same sleepy mumble. Ten hours from now... ten hours from now they have to meet everyone... ]

We should probably get some rest.

[ He sounds reluctant to leave, though... if he goes home now he'll probably just wake Souji, and he doesn't want to disturb his brother who surely only got to sleep a short while ago, given they all got back at 2 AM.

... but if he's honest with himself, he also doesn't want to leave Yosuke ... ]
