I think why I'm still attached to the Josuyasu dynamic, platonic, romantic, and otherwise, 4 years later, is that part of me still has those deep residual feelings of being a 17 year projecting my complicated feelings of loneliness, seeming inability to behave "normally", complicated familial relationships, and general lack of self esteem onto Okuyasu, and wishing I had someone who fundamentally understood me like Josuke seemed to understand him. Like my friends are close and dear to me and have been for a decade but you like, get what I mean. Just (1) person who just gets you seemed like the ideal for the mentally ill teen I was.
