[ don't say that when you got cute icons ]

Well, this might sound strange but...

Does Yosuke have a tendency to look at people in a way that can be confused with romantic intentions?

[loudmouths]

[ they're not cute they're... manly...]

uhhh

I mean he gets... pretty attached to people...

we're pretty similar in that respect I guess

[tarotcards]

[ look me in the eyes and tell me right now that keigo is manly ]

Attached?

[ yu thinks yosuke is looking at him differently so give him deets ]

[loudmouths]

[ STARES INTENSELY. ]

yeah attached

he likes being around people i dunno how else to explain it really

like... i mean... uh

[ is this really the best way to go about this after he admitted that they're fairly similar HMMM ]

i guess he could maybe get too caught up in how attached he is and maybe look at someone super intensely??? why?

[tarotcards]

Well, if you can keep it a secret...

Someone doesn't know if Yosuke likes them (romantically) or not. They think they're getting some mixed signals and they're not sure what to do about it.

[loudmouths]

oh

[ w e l p. ]

my honest advice is to just be frank with him. back him into a corner. don't dance around it. don't lie.

[ really, he felt the same tactics would work on him, too, so-- ]

he'll be evasive. he'll try to change the subject. he doesn't like being called out when he's being an idiot, really, but if he's being unfair to someone and not being direct in how he feels or givin out mixed messages, then he deserves a little rough treatment

[tarotcards]

Is that really the best way to approach it? That seems...

... aggressive.

[loudmouths]

of course it's aggressive!!

But he can be an idiot so sometimes he needs a wake-up call

[tarotcards]

I suppose, but what if it turns out that he really didn't actually like the other person? If they aggressively approach him like this, wouldn't it damage their friendship?

[loudmouths]

you're mistaking aggressive for mean

you can corner him without being a douche bag

he's just evasive about the truth

[tarotcards]

I'm still concerned that Yosuke would take it the wrong way.

Especially Yosuke's preferences seem pretty clear and this person doesn't really fit in with those preferences.

[loudmouths]

preferences huh

care to elaborate on that?

[tarotcards]

To put it bluntly...

Girls.

[loudmouths]

oh

[ W E L P. ]

uh out of curiosity, this wouldn't have anything to do with your brother would it

[tarotcards]

[ SHIT HOW DID KEIGO KNOW no play it cool play it dumb ]

My brother? Why?

[loudmouths]

[ because he's that good

or because he has deets ]

I had a conversation with him regarding some shit

and I'm wondering if they're connected that's all

[tarotcards]

[ share the deets with the class ]

Do you mind if I ask what that conversation was about?

[loudmouths]

[ s w e a t s. ]

he said he overreacted to something he shouldn't have

is your brother dating someone?

[tarotcards]

As far as my knowledge, he's not, but I think I heard about this.

Yosuke thought Yu was dating Karkat, right?

[loudmouths]

ah... is that how it is...

no names, but i don't think it's unreasonable to assume he was talking about your brother

[tarotcards]

[ Well, there's no way avoiding this. ]

If you can keep this a secret from Yosuke...

... yes, it's about my brother. I'm asking on his behalf.

[loudmouths]

i won't tell him i promise

i don't want to get more involved than i need to, really

but... i dunno. if yosuke finds out i said something to you, he'll probably get really pissed off at me

he's in a very vulnerable place
