Souji spent the night, curled up on Yosuke's futon with him, let Yosuke tuck himself against his chest and pull the blankets up and try to forget what was happening for a few hours. Yosuke didn't know what to expect in the morning, didn't know how he could possibly face school in general, much less his friends, and hoped his mother, who had always liked Souji - not that she knows what he is to you - would be willing to grant him a little leniency due to the unexpected visit. His father would have been a different story, not because of Souji, but because that was just... how he was. He was the type who would expect his kid to turn up for class if he was missing a limb, because the other three still worked, didn't they? His father respected men who were tough, sharp, level-headed, smart, imposing... Yosuke was, in his father's opinion, too soft and too sensitive and too thin and just... embarrassing.
And fucking a guy, too! He'll love that, Hana-chan, finding out you take it up the ass!He didn't want to think anymore. He tried to get
( ... )
Yosuke couldn't argue with that. If Souji needed to talk to him - for whatever reason - then Yosuke had nothing to say about it. Souji was good at that, good at talking to people, understanding them, influencing them. Yosuke had the distinct feeling that Souji didn't want to have a heart-to-heart chat with this 'Mori,' whoever the hell he was, but that Souji had another goal in mind, something that this guy was just a part of. That was okay. That was how it usually was.
"I want to go with you."
Everyone was silent. If they all just fucking stare at me, I don't think I can take it - but they didn't. Souji just nodded.
"Okay."
"Okay?! Souji, you can't just - he just - hurt him! Yosuke can't--"
"He can. And if he wants to, he should. It's okay."
"Senpai, if you and Yosuke-senpai intend to confront him, it ought to be now. He will not be expecting you to mobilize so quickly."

You go, guys. Fight-o. ;; Man, they're both so brave this update. I think I'd have puked by now, in either of their shoes. Also mentioning again how much I love your Souji characterization.

I just read this in one go and I'm all teary and there's a huge lump in my throat now. This is a masterful fanfic. Do you have it hosted anywhere else?
dkfhsdfkj omg thank you. as of right now, it's not hosted anywhere else, but when it's finished, it will go elsewhere - not because i think it's a spectacular work of art lol IT'S NOT but because these comments are stripping my formatting out of the chats/texts/emails/etc. preferably, it will eventually end up at ao3, but i don't know how much html ao3 allows, so if that doesn't work out, it will have its own journal. ♥

YOUSUKE I AM SO PROUD OF YOU so brave, they both of them. A-and I love that the others are backing them up--the image of Yukiko, Chie, Souji and Yousuke making an island in the middle of classrom has so much feelings I can't even.
Yosuke's palms were sweating, his stomach felt sick and heavy, and he concentrated on putting one foot in front of the other, walking just a half-step behind Souji so that he could see him in his peripheral vision, looking strong and determined and everything that Yosuke felt he was not. He hated this part of himself, the part that doubted his own abilities and even his own worth - the part that had led to him standing naked in front of a mirror with a camera and a broken heart. His hands were beginning to shake. He balled them into fists, tried to mask it, and when Souji glanced back at him, checking on him, Yosuke only nodded, pressing forward. Souji nodded back and Yosuke wished so much that he could grab Souji's hand, squeeze it hard, maybe slow his racing heart a little... but he couldn't.
That was another thing Yosuke hated about himself - the fear. He could fight monsters that would kill him if he let his guard down, he could throw himself in the way of a certainly lethal attack against his friends, but he could not hold his
( ... )
"Then let's not stand here and think about it anymore."
And just like that, Souji was opening the door, walking into the classroom like it was his own, and Yosuke watched the expression on Seagull-Mori-whoever's face change from bewilderment at the sight of Souji to realization at the sight of Yosuke and finally to apprehension bordering on fear when he made the connection. Yosuke would have thoroughly enjoyed it if he didn't feel that, at any minute, he was going to wet himself. The classroom was completely silent and Yosuke wondered if anyone else could hear his heart pounding in his chest. The hair at the back of Souji's neck was damp and slightly curling. So... he really is nervous too"Mori-kun

Now? Yosuke hadn't been expecting it ( ... )
