[ There's not really a lot I can do about it. That....that is something that Yosuke has known, but never really thought about. The idea that he didn't want to be, that he couldn't be has been prevalent these past few weeks, but that...there's no good or bad if he is, it is just...is.

Yosuke blinks, suddenly shaken from his stupor as Keigo finishes. He shakes his head quickly. ]

I won't tell anyone. I--

[ His words catch in his throat for a moment before his gaze drops to the rug on his floor. ]

--I'd be worried about that too...

[loudmouths]

[ keigo shrugged. did it really matter if yosuke brought it up to anyone? in the end, it really didn't... there wasn't many people he knew, so it wasn't like he had a reputation to upkeep in recolle. not like back home. but that was besides the point, wasn't it?

he blinked at yosuke's remark, head tilting to one side. ]

Yeah? Well... y'know...

[ he rubbed his neck. gently: ]

You know you can tell me anything you want to and it won't leave this room.

[youraffection]

[ Yosuke would care, though. That's exactly the kind of thing that Yosuke would be worried that someone would find out about.

If he needs to tell Keigo something...that's the whole reason his cousin is there, isn't it? ]

Um...

[ Yosuke keeps his gaze on the floor. ]

...Am I jealous...?

[loudmouths]

[ keigo knew that was coming. sort of. it was something so simple he almost wanted to laugh, but he didn't for yosuke's sake. instead, he exhaled, idly twisting his fingers in his hair. ]

Do you feel jealous?

[ he knew the answer to that, and he was sure yosuke did, too. ]

[youraffection]

[ He...kind of wants someone to tell him. It's the coming to the conclusion himself--admitting it himself that's the hardest.

There's a long pause. Yosuke sighs. ]

...Kinda. I guess.

[ He curls his toes and shakes his head. ]

I don't know why. It's like it game outta no where.

[loudmouths]

[ keigo couldn't help it; this time around, he smiled a little. ]

Sounds like you gotta crush, maybe.

[ there, he said it. he just couldn't wait any longer. ]

[youraffection]

[ HE SAID A THING. A VERY DANGEROUS THING. ]

N-N-No way!!

[ And cue the freakout that he shouldn't be having this loudly this early in the morning.

Yosuke quickly realizes his mistake and covers his mouth, drawing his knees up into his chest as he glares at his cousin. ]

No way! [ Yosuke whispers this time, face red. ] He's a--I'm not...
