Yosuke loved Souji’s glasses. He wouldn’t admit it, of course - things were still relatively New between them, and of course he was going to try to play it cool for as long as he was able to - but it did mean that every time they stepped into the TV world he side-eyed his partner, admiring just how handsome and sophisticated it made Souji look. He hated his own glasses, of course - he felt like they made him look gangly and nerdy, and kind of uncool, but Souji? Souji just looked stylish.
One afternoon, they were heading home from school when more of the unpredictable rain that had been plaguing Inaba that year hit; it was more of a deluge than a storm, and both boys were drenched by the time they got inside the Dojimas’ house (it was closer than the Hanamuras’, and besides, they’d never complain about a chance to hang out and not do homework). As embarrassing as it was, Yosuke certainly didn’t want to catch cold, so he couldn’t say no when Souji declared that they both needed showers, nor could he exactly argue when Souji insisted he go first. When Yosuke just protested that he didn’t want Souji to get sick, either, Souji smiled, assuring the brunette that he’d get one immediately after, and meanwhile he’d make them both tea, which would keep him warm.
“Besides, I want to take care of my partner.”
It was the cheesiest and sweetest thing he’d said so far, and Yosuke went blushing into the shower, holding a spare, dry pair of sweatpants and a shirt from Souji’s dresser. When he came out, Souji was waiting in his room, wearing a dressing gown; he picked a cup of steaming tea off the table and carried it over to Yosuke, who accepted it gratefully, exchanging a smile with his boyfriend as Souji went off to get his own shower.
Sitting a little nervously on the couch, Yosuke found himself glad that Nanako was downstairs. It wasn’t often that he and Souji got to spend time alone together, what with school and the case, and as much as he liked being alone with Souji (and found himself daydreaming, more than once, about what could happen) he wasn’t really ready for too much of it. Not that Souji was anything but a gentleman, but-
As he was working himself up over the thought of not-gentleman Souji, the door opened and he started; Souji laughed as he stepped inside, drying his hair, and Yosuke exhaled, glad that Nanako hasn’t caught him daydreaming about her brother. He was so busy being relieved that it took him a moment to realise that Souji… was wearing glasses. And not his TV world glasses.
He blinked hard, and as he did Souji walked over, dropping down to sit on the sofa beside him. Yosuke swallowed, finding his voice.
“I, uh…. didn’t realise you wore glasses. I’ve never seen them before.”
“Hmmm?” Souji turned to him, and Yosuke flushed. He thought about turning his head to hide it, but at this distance it wouldn’t matter, and would probably just make things worse. “I wear contacts, usually, because glasses always make me look so dorky, and-”
“Dorky? Are you kidding?” Yosuke’s head shot up, and he immediately blushed harder, realising that, well… the cool phase was over now because there was no way Souji wasn’t going to “get it”. And, in fact, Souji - after blinking again - did “get it”, slowly started to chuckle.
“Are you telling me you like them? Hmmm, maybe I’ll have to wear them more often.” Yosuke swallowed, nodding, and Souji grinned, leaning in.
It wasn’t their first kiss, by any means, but it was certainly one of the warmest ones yet, and Yosuke was almost glad when they heard footsteps on the stairs, followed by Nanako’s voice.
“Big bro? Dinner’s ready. Is Yosuke-nii staying? It’s still raining outside.”
They pulled apart at this, and even though Yosuke’s heart was hammering so much that he couldn’t form words, he managed to nod, and Souji answered to the affirmative. With a warm smile (and a flush of his own) Souji offered a hand to help Yosuke stand; before he let go, however, he pulled the brunette close, putting his mouth to his partner’s ear.
“It’s mutual, you know. Your TV world glasses make you look so sharp. I love seeing you in them.”
…Maybe Yosuke didn’t hate his glasses so much after all.
