“Don’t be shy, what’s the game?”

[hanamxras]

"It's a game called Don't Starve. It's brutal..Your goal is to survive but nearly everything is set out to kill you. The darkness kills you, starving kills you, enemies can kill you. And what makes it worse is if you die your world resets to day one, meaning you lose all your stuff. Somehow it's kinda addicting. Maybe you should give it a go too?"

[hanamxras]

"You're me and I'm you, when you get down to it, all of this is me".

[[Oof... I will be back in a little bit. I think I got hit with a case of the bad brain. But instead of feeding into it I am just gonna take a little break to play some games. I know my portrayal is good and my own. Sending you all lots of love in the meantime. Feel free to send stuff in! I will get to all the things when I get back later today]]

"Why is this game so unbelievably punishing yet so addicting...? I don't know whether to be impressed or frustrated that it's got me hooked."

@hanamxras commented:

"Maybe the chocobo reference is because that last one matched your hair color? Or maybe it's the calm stare."

“I suppose I can see the hair color similarities... but the calm stare...?”

[hanamxras]

"Maybe I'm not wording it right. Most of the time you have a very composed expression. I think that's the right word. I'm sure in your line of work you can't exactly let people read you or how you're feeling so your normal expression seems kinda calm." Yosuke hummed, looking thoughtful. He followed it up with a rather sheepish look.

"Sorry if that sounds stupid. I just kinda noticed it after we started spending more time together. Feel free to correct me."

Yeah, he definitely doesn't deserve Yosuke, but the only thing Yu can do is cling tightly to him as he's hugged. As much as he's worried about Yosuke's safety, he's also relieved to finally have all of this off his chest. It had been eating him up inside for so long...

"Thank you," Yu mutters quietly after a few minutes of just crying in his best friend's arms. His shoulders slump as he finally relaxes a bit, and his grip on Yosuke loosens.

"I really don't know what I'd do without you, Yosuke... I promise I'll make this up to you someday, but for now just... Thank you for being my partner."

[hanamxras]

It was sad to think that Yu was harboring all of these feelings on his own for so long. A lot of people would have already crumbled under pressure like that. Yosuke held him close until he stopped, his own grip loosening but he didn't quite move away just yet. His expression was soft, full of understanding. This was going to be a tough road ahead but together they could handle anything, right? He offered up a genuine smile, feeling some emotional weight lift from his own shoulders at being able to share such a moment. It was a different side that Yosuke hadn't gotten to see before. "I'll always be here for you, partner. That's a promise that I intend to keep. Anytime that you need anything, you can always come to me. I'll come running." He replied, the smile giving way to a full on grin and faintly flushed cheeks.

Eager paws took the canned beverage. It was a taller, skinnier can than the bear was used to. So energy drinks looked different from sodas on the outside, too.

“So it’s a soda coffee! I get it now!” He proclaimed with a legitimate sense of achievement over the small bit of information.

Welp! Time to get to the tasting test! Teddie clicked open the can and started drinking. At Yosuke’s request, he did not chug it.

“It does taste like soda. But there’s an aftertaste this time.”

[hanamxras]

"It does have a bit of an aftertaste but you get used to it. How you feeling so far? Usually takes a few minutes for you to really feel it. Just keep that pace and you shouldn't get way too hyper." Yosuke chuckled, crossing his arms. "I usually only have one a day."

[hanamxras]

[[Okay dears. Ive cleared out the oldest things in my drafts and my ask box. If you haven't gotten something already and would like to start something up, could you leave a like for me to send you something?]]

[heartwilled]

      "...you know, it's not your job to fix that, right?" Ai asks with a raised eyebrow, resting a hand on her hip as she takes in his almost worried expression. Maybe she should've expected this from one of Madoka's friends--really, that girl was way too nice. Made sense that she'd surround herself with equally nice people. "Not to sound ungrateful, I mean." Still, she considers his question for a moment, a thoughtful hum escaping her. "I guess the stars are fine. Guess that's one nice thing about living out in the countryside."

[hanamxras]

"Maybe it's not my job to fix it but that doesn't mean that I won't help when I can. No one deserves to have to be down all the time or hate the world. I should know...I know I seem happy a lot of the time but that's just because I got really good at putting up a front. I'd just keep all the bad thoughts and emotions to myself." Yosuke mused, gesturing for her to follow. His expression was thoughtful, a soft sigh soon following. "Truth be told, I still struggle with it. Though it's kinda more me hating myself than anything else. But having good friends made it a lot better. And I could express myself rather than making my personality easier to swallow for others."

[chibitantei]

“Yes.”

[hanamxras]

"Okay but...theoretically, how much trouble are we talking? I wanna decide if it's worth it."

[hanamxras]

[[Sorry for the slowness! It's been a busy few days but just as a reminder for myself we have:

Two drafts for @mayonakako

One draft for @chibitantei

And one draft for @eris-the-phantom-thief 🥰

Those will be out as soon as I get my energy levels up aka finding some caffeine xD I need it to survive]]

[hanamxras]

How does my Yosuke handle affection, asked absolutely no one. Like a smelly tiny feral cat getting affection for the first time...aka poorly 🤣 but I think he is neat :

[125hr]

pretend its 2014

[paraedoxon]

you know what addition might actually justify this remake?

[hanamxras]

[[I still really need to get aesthetics done for this blog but have no idea when I can actually afford it 😅 this move definitely made our money funny]]

[limitlesspossibilities]

It's pretty much the reaction Yu expected, but his eyes widen a little at Yosuke's comment about losing him. He'd been so caught up in wanting to reason with someone he thought was a good friend that he hadn't even considered the possibility of something happening to him, let alone how that would effect the people close to him.

"You didn't lose me," he offers in an attempt to make Yosuke feel better, but then he shakes his head. That wasn't the point, Yosuke was right. "It was stupid and reckless. I know that now. I just... I thought maybe since we were friends I could talk some sense into him. Get him to confess."

Yu sighs, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "But it didn't work out that way. He... I burned the only evidence we had against him. He said I'm his accomplice now. And he didn't threaten Nanako directly, but I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to go after her if I went against him."

Yu's voice gets shakier the more he explains, and by the end of it the tears he'd been trying so hard to hold back are rolling down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Yosuke. I know I messed up... I don't know what to do anymore."

[hanamxras]

It's a mixture of emotions that pass through Yosuke: a little anger, disappointment, but also understanding. He might have done the same thing in Yu's shoes if he had thought he could put all of this to rest. Now with the looming threat of Nanako, they definitely couldn't risk telling anyone else. At least not right now. But more than that...Seeing him in such a sorry state was enough to make Yosuke's heart ache. Before he could even really think of what he was doing, he tugged the Yu into a strong hug. He couldn't stand to see him cry like that. It was enough to make his own eyes sting but he held it back. They really were in quite the situation, weren't they? A hand gently rubbed his back, a small attempt at trying to provide some form of comfort. There really wasn't much Yosuke could do at the moment but be here. "It's okay...It's okay." Yosuke's voice was surprisingly gentle, the expression on his face one of sympathy. "You thought you were doing the right thing. You made a mistake and no one can fault you for that. I'm here with you now and I'm going to try and support you any way that I can. We're a team, right? So I'll be right here to face this with you."
