I can't stress enough how much I love your Rise and Yosuke drawings I swear- they are so besties coded
They're literally 2 stylish teens from the big city and JUNE babies who are really into the music scene....
One of my fav things to think about is the fact that yosuke??? Plans most of the big group vacations/hang outs???? PLANNED OUT THIER TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS FOR SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING??? of course. Most of them also come tacked on with the idea of seeing the girls in cute outfits.....and rise having cute outfits she wants to show off to Yu.... I need them to be friends so bad so she can be like. please please please. I bought this new skirt and u need to PLAN our next trip to compliment my outfit!!!!
And he will do it because he wants to see that skirt but along the way get caught up with finding fun things to do with his buddy yu

He paused his movements with that huffy grunt out of its mouth. Of course, it couldn't speak, but it's been said that even wolves can communicate just like dogs. They become domesticated later on, or so he recalled from History class. Taking a moment to observe it, Yosuke realized that its tongue was out, taking it as a sign of peace.
Tumblr media
"Yeah, hi. Nice to meet you, I guess." Assuming permission was granted, a hand was cautiously placed on its head to pat it a few times-- gently as well. "This is my first time seeing you here. I wonder where you came from or if... you scared those kids away."
Tumblr media
Fortunately for this boy, the large wolf did not pin her ears or bare a teeth as he approaches closer. Instead, she lowers herself, stomach pressed firmly to the ground as she steadily crawls closer— albeit reluctantly. She stopped herself short, her neck stretching forth while her nose twitches at the enticing smell of meat. However, she was not sure if she wanted to be closer anymore than that.
Tumblr media
"Hrrfff . . ." She replies after the boy spoke, only able to be answering with a huffy grunt. Still, to be as daring as to approach a giant beast is something remarkable. Even then, making herself to his level so he can have more control of the situation is crucial for them both, casually letting her mouth lax— pink tongue lolling out in nonchalant pants, almost seeming to smile.

Of all the people Yosuke would be expecting to get a call from at 10:14 at night, Yu is decidedly not one of them. 
And of all the reasons he can run through that his partner could be calling him, the real answer is decidedly not one of them. 
“Hey, partner. Wanna sleep over at my house tonight? Nanako-chan is staying at a friend’s house and Uncle is working late again,” Yu’s voice says. He sounds cheerful enough, but Yosuke’s known him long enough to hear the undertone of anxiety hidden in his words. 
Yosuke knows Yu hates being alone. The guy can’t stand it, even if it’s just for a night or two. Hey- Yosuke isn’t making fun of the guy or anything, god no. It’s just... Something he’s picked up on throughout their time together. 
Investigation Team or not, Yosuke still considers Yu his partner. And it’d be pretty damn cruel if he said no to what’s really, in all logic, a very simple request. And besides, it isn’t as though they haven’t slept at each other’s houses before. 
So Yosuke grins as he grabs his keys from his locker and tosses his apron inside like always. Far be it from him to subject their leader to more suffering. 
“Sure thing, partner. Want me to grab some clothes from my place?” He asks, shifting his phone to his other hand so he can clip his keys to his jeans. Thank god for carabiners. 
“No, no need. You know I always keep spares for you here, Yosuke,” Yu says. He sounds a bit excited now, as though the idea of spending time with Yosuke is something worth looking forward to. 
Yosuke would never admit it, but it gives him a bit of an ego rush. His beloved partner, the cool and untouchable transfer from Tokyo, the kickass leader of the Investigation Team... Is excited about a sleepover. With him, Yosuke Hanamura- Trash Prince of Junes. 
It really does wonders for his ego. 
“Yeah, yeah. I don’t know what I was thinking asking that,” Yosuke says with a small laugh, brushing off the warmth that spreads to his cheeks as a bodily reaction to the chill outside. It’s September, which naturally means it’s getting colder out. Dammit, why didn’t he grab a jacket? 
Yu laughs on the other line, and Yosuke yet again feels his cheeks warm up. He did that. Hemade Yu laugh. 
A quiet part of him wonders if he laughs that way around the others. If Chie’s snarky comments get the rumble of a chuckle, or if Teddie’s bad-but-well-intentioned bear puns make him snort. 
He wonders if this laugh, soft and breathy and quiet, was reserved just for him. He wonders how many other things are meant for him too, if any. 
Do his eyes sparkle like that when he talks to one of his plethora of friends? Do his lips quirk when they make a bad joke like they do around him? Does he laugh like that around anyone else, like he’s shy of how his laugh sounds even though it’s one of the best sounds in the world- 
Woah, Yosuke. Reel it in a bit. Thinking about a guy’s general physique is one thing (nothing wrong with appreciating a nice build!), but thinking about smaller details like that? That’s a bit far. 
Details like his lips and how they take on a soft smile whenever Yosuke talks. Details like his hair and how soft and perfect it always seems to look, even on the days with the worst weather. Details like his eyes and how their shade of grey seems to shift with his mood. When Yu is happy, they’re a light grey. When he’s angry, they’re stormy grey. When he’s focusing, they look like steel. 
...Jesus fuck. What is wrong with him tonight? Why does it seem like no matter what he does, his thoughts always seem to shift back to Yu? 
It’s now that he realises that he’s still on call with the guy- and that neither of them have spoken a single word since Yosuke left Junes. He shivers again, and breaks the comfortable silence. 
“Hey, partner... Don’t suppose you’d be willing to turn on the kotatsu? It got colder than I thought and...” 
“And you forgot a jacket?” Yu responded with an airy sigh. He doesn’t sound annoyed, thankfully. More like... Exasperated. Yu’s long-since become used to Yosuke’s antics, and treats it like another classic Yosuke Blunder. 
“Sorry,” Yosuke responds automatically. He doesn’t know particularly why he’s apologising, but it slips out. 
He can almost picture Yu shaking his head as he grows closer to the Dojima household, and as Yu’s voice drags him back from whatever stupid wild fantasy Yosuke was about to cook up again. 
“Am I going to have to start texting you every day to remind you?” He asks, and Yosuke knows he’s joking, he honestly does, but he can’t stop the blush and defensive splutter. 
“Wha- hey, now, I’m not that forgetful! It was just this once, honest!” He says, and he sees the door of the Dojima residence slide open and shut. Yu’s figure stands there, staring him down. As always, he looks poised and perfect. 
Yosuke hangs up, breaking into a jog to reach his partner. 
Yu stuffs his phone into his pocket and extends his hand. Yosuke is confused at first, but then- 
Yu tugs him into a hug, his slender arms muscled from so much time in the TV world- 
Good lord, he can’t even do something as simple as hug his partner anymore without his imagination running wild with fantasies about being picked up and carried like some girl- 
“You’re freezing. Let’s get you inside and warmed up. The kotatsu should be heated by now, and I made us both some hot chocolate. Don’t worry, there’s extra whipped cream on yours.” 
Yosuke swallows harder than he means to. Yu’s voice is soft in his ear, his body warm against Yosuke’s own. If not for the bitter chill outside, Yosuke could fall asleep here. Yu always did have a talent for making him feel safe. 
“Thanks, partner. You... Really know me well, huh?” He manages to choke out. If Yu noticed, he doesn’t give any sign. 
“Well, I’d hope so. I think I’d have failed as your partner if I didn’t know things like this,” Yu responds with ease. It makes Yosuke’s throat feel even tighter. 
“Like knowing how I like my hot cocoa? That’s such a little thing, dude,” he says, laughing to lighten the tone. In reality, he can’t understand why Yu would make such a big deal out of such a small thing- 
Scratch that. It’s Yu they’re talking about. Sometimes there is no ‘why’, like when he befriended that detective Adachi for no other reason than he wanted to. 
Yu shrugs, slowly pulling away from the hug. Almost entirely subconciously, Yosuke finds himself chasing Yu’s warmth, leaning against him again. 
“Come on, Yosuke, you’ll catch a cold. We can cuddle more inside,” Yu says, and brings him inside. It isn’t until he settles under the kotatsu beside Yu that he realises what was said. 
...He supposes they are, technically, cuddling. They’re leaning against each other watching some shitty movie on a local channel, and Yosuke has never felt more at peace. 
Or, at least, until they settle down for bed. They’ve already changed into their pyjamas, and Yosuke is frankly exhausted. His shift at Junes was brutal, and he’s ready to crash. 
Unfortunately, he might have to sleep on the sofa in Yu’s room. There’s no spare futon. 
“I can sleep on the sofa, Yosuke, it’s fine-” Yu hurries to say as Yosuke stares at the room in general, trying to riddle out a solution to the predicament. 
As he ponders, he notices a few things about Yu’s room. Scattered about are various keepsakes and treasures from his friends and their adventures. 
A little knit rabbit sits on his desk- no doubt a gift from Kanji. A Jack Frost doll stands watch over the room from atop the shelf like a shrine’s liondog. It’s oddly comforting, despite the doll’s unsettling appearance. 
There’s no sudden trigger for his idea. It hits him like a kick to the gut and leaves him just as dizzy and breathless. 
“I have an idea,” he says slowly, “but you might not like it.” 
Yu frowns, brows furrowed under his fringe. He looks almost like he’s pouting- it’s cute. 
“What’s your idea, then? I’m all ears,” he says regardless. Always willing to hear others out even when he has his doubts- that’s the Yu Yosuke knows. His partner. 
“We share the futon,” Yosuke says. Yu visibly relaxes, his expression smoothing into one of almost-relief. His eyes shift from a stone-grey to a light grey. Nervous to happy. 
“Oh, okay. That’s not too bad. Of course, if you get uncomfortable in the middle of the night, just wake me up. I’ll move to the sofa.” 
Yosuke resists the urge to shake his head. He feels dizzy enough as it is, for some reason. 
Yu turns the bright overhead off, clicking on his small bedside lamp as he crawls into the futon. The light from the lamp bathes the room in a soft, warm glow. It makes Yu look particularly squishy, his hair falling into his eyes. Yosuke doesn’t want to keep him up much longer, so he slips into the futon beside him. 
“Goodnight, partner,” he says. Yu smiles at him, soft and sleepy, and it sends butterflies into his stomach. 
Oh. 
Oh. 
Oh, no. This is why he’s been thinking these things, this is why he’s been focused on Yu so much. 
Oh. He owes Kanji a massive apology. 
Yu shifts where he’s laying, and suddenly Yosuke is being held close against his partner’s body. He can hear Yu’s heartbeat, steady and calm as ever. The sound helps calm him, somehow. 
This sudden realisation is a problem for tomorrow’s Yosuke. 
For now, he’s content to simply lay in the arms of his partner, safe and loved. 
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!! SOUYO FLUFF!!!!!!!!!!!! they're so sweet its rotting my teeth out ghhgggaahhh... yosuke's slow realization that he has feelings for yu... he DOES owe kanji an apology. i feel like souyo is a yu fell first and yosuke fell harder situation. i think yu loves yosuke and purposefully puts him in situations to see if yosuke likes him back, like the hugging. yosuke realizing how he feels warm and safe with yu, how they both see super small details in each other like how yosuke likes his hot chocolate or how yu's eyes change. i love the way you added yu's people pleaser traits to when he says he'll take the couch for yosuke. ugghhhh they're so stupid and i love them they should cuddle and kiss a million times thank you so much for the food

Okay, already posted on Twitter in a long ass thread but lemme talk about Yosuke's confession again, the "i never knew i had such a heat inside" or this depending of the traslation
Tumblr media
It's SO important cuz It really empathizes their relathionship pretty fucking well. Yosuke loved Saki bc she was the first person that saw him as something outside of the Junes kid who's parents are gonna ruin the shopping distritc (even if the way she feels about him was more complicated than that), she accepted who she was, talked to him, was nice to him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
we know Yosuke is a person who gets interested in people easily considering his flirty behaviour, but i am pretty sure his feelings for Saki were genuine and that there's a pattern, Yosuke is a lonely kid that is used to be treated like trash most of the time, seeing someone saying this stuff to him, makes him embarrased and...happy, and it makes believe that he's into people who are genuinely caring and kind to others, including a random loser like him. if Yosuke loved Saki for that empathic and kind nature, who's the person that fits perfectly those two terms? Is basically the whole point of their character considering that he's a protagonists and how it mix with the message of the game? That's right, Yu.
There are some parallels with Saki and Yu, in lots of ways, Saki and Yu both has this kind behaviour, can be teaseful around Yosuke and they both are big siblings that really love their little siblings more than anything, but despite their cool easygoing and kind behaviour, they are implied to be really deppresed individuals, for Yu/Souji more specificed in the manga about his parents("i wish all could dissapear" is a very suicidal thought, that Saki's shadow herself mentioned, like if she has thought about killing herself before)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saki made Yosuke feel slighty better with himself, how he shouldn't worry about what the others are saying around the town, because he knows that isn't true
Yu made him realize how nothing would change for him if he doesn't do something about himself, how he isn't alone and has everyone else and i would say he did more than Saki did.
Yosuke wasn't ready for a relathionship yes, but he slowly realized how much Yu mattered to him, how much he is "special" to him, Yosuke finds himself comfortable in Yu's presence, smth he didn't felt until Saki came in, so i think that's what "i never knew i had such a heat inside" means
Tumblr media
he's a perceptive person that knew that his relathionship with Saki wasn't mutual ("i knew all they said was right, i was just too embarassed to admit it...") and afterwards he saw how much he had going on in her head "i wish everything could just dissapear", Yu actually reasurred him, his kidness was more in a "i do like you as a person" instead of "i am kind to you bc i would be a ass if i weren't", Yosuke probably fell even harder than he fell for Saki, he finally found a genuine connection, the most genuine one he could ever have, that changed his life for better.
And i think It really fits his character, he is really someone who desires a genuine connection due to loneliness, people who genuinely liked him, instead of treating him as someone they need from time to time, thanks to Yu he's closer to the team.
And no, some people may believe Yu was like a """remplacement""" of Saki but i do believe this is just a natural course, you cannot control who you get feelings for, and slowly, you get to know them and fall for them, i do know people who broke up/lost their ex before and some weeks later, they fell for someone else, and there's nothing wrong about it, time passes, feelings changes, some people faster or slower than others but it's natural, and Yosuke should allow himself to love someone else when the other already passed away
So yeah, i do believe he got to experience, even an stronger feeling than before and it makes sense, (Yosuke also realized how life slowly changes in his SL, fitting EVEN MORE with his character arc)
Saki is special, Yu is special, and that wouldn't change in any way, not even how he sees himself, bc thanks to this experiencie, he could finally say he's special in his own way.

how do you feel about yosuke culprit au?
You're kinda asking the wrong person? XD Im not really a big fan of taking good characters like that and twisting them in such a way-- and even in that case I feel like he's the most boring option to have as a "a main character is the culprit" like idk.
It makes me kinda sad? No- it makes me very sad. He's a good kid with a good heart and a stupid mouth, and making him hateful or vengeful enough to murder people detracts heavily from what makes him the character I adore. The most amazing thing about his story is about how despite how everything went down with Saki... he still cherished and valued her.
Though, it does make sense that he would be one of the most common characters to be given such a role. He is very much a mirror to Adachi in a way that Yu just isn't. He walked the same steps and felt the same feelings and then some and still came out a person who loves and cares enough to put himself on the line... Be it financially, emotionally, or physically.
Even in a reality where he never met Saki or Yu never salvaged him from the trash can I don't think he'd have that spark of malace within him to murder a woman or two. I don't want to read or craft a narrative about a character like that.
And honestly, I think he hates himself too much to ever do something so heartless and selfish as murder another person for something so blithe. It's another point into why the Namatame confrontation is a great magician reversed moment, because even at his breaking point he couldn't kill somebody without the direct support of his friends and his partner.
Shrugs!!!

I generally don’t recommend games/anime/tv shows frequently to anyone, especially when I don’t know them very well honestly. Because I’ve had such an awful time doing so in the past.
People don’t pay attention to my suggestions both for and against the thing, what feels especially like when I personalize the recommendation. I’ve had people hate things I told them they weren’t going to enjoy. By like a not insignificant margin. I get a nice handful of successes and a small but decent size number of mehs. Most frequently though is people I know just straight out ignored my recommendations, which is really annoying when they want to get you into their shows or outright ask for suggestions. I honestly hate it. Like if I just say ‘Rune Factory is great, you should try it,’ randomly sure whatever. But that isn’t how it’s going on.
Story demonstration: I’ve had what I assume were friends/were coworkers where we would do ‘trade’ recommendations. I always felt like no thought was put into the suggestions for me but I’d always be honest of ‘I got through (1 or 3 episodes based on agreement that time), but I wasn’t really feeling it’ or whatever I was feeling and why. Hopefully so something better could be selected next time. You (season 1) and Riverdale are the ones that come to mind as the ones I got recommended. You was a case of managing to get through the requested 3 episodes but might have taken psychic damage doing so. Noteworthy thing for that show, I’ve had an apartment broken into so episode one needed to be stopped several times just so I didn’t have an issue myself. Then by the end of the 3 episodes, I could guess everything that happened that season almost to the T for all the characters I knew about. Told my friend about my experience, guesses on what happened next, and proceeded to tell my ‘friend’ a much more interesting story they could have done with the same set up. Shock, Awe, and amazement on what I could do with a premise of a thing I wasn’t enjoying at all and how spot on I was. Then I explained further why it was either really boring or anxiety-driving (and how that isn’t fun for me in this context) and I got so many apologies. She would try one more time with Riverdale. I have beef with Riverdale. I like Archie Comics, so the dark teen drama for what felt like the sake of it just felt… bad? Add in I’m ace and Jughead is like one of the biggest out ace (comic book) characters and Riverdale’s is, uh, not that as of when I last checked? I told her 1 episode for this one, as I’ve been in the same room as my sister watching it before but it hasn’t ever managed to catch my interest in the arc that should have been able to if it was, along with my other issues. She still seemed shocked on why I didn’t like it. My suggestions for the trade were Quicksand, a thriller-like piece involving a school shooting place in Europe if memory serves me right, and Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, an anime about a seafaring people meeting a mech and it’s owner from a space society-with the caveat of only episode 2&3 would count since I advised her to skip the first episode. I was guessing she’d be even less enthused with the mecha part as I was. The only one I know she actually tried was Gargantia… and she only watched episode 1 as far as I’m aware. I asked on opinions so we could either talk about them or me get an idea where I went wrong. Never had anything to say.
For non-personalized, I think the only time I’ve ‘jokingly’ told some group of folks to not get involved with a fandom is any of the 100+ hours games when what felt like half the people thinking about it mentioned having time management issues. I’ve spent a lot of time discussing with parents what content is in certain games. I think God of War was a common one? Might have been something like BioWare’s stuff too. Games with implied sex, ‘tasteful’ cuts of sex, hyper violence, etc. things where I ask the person ‘So how old is the kid?’ And when it’s less than 13 (with a lot of less than 10s honestly) and I have to be like ‘hold on would you let them see an R rated movie?’ Or go on the contents of the game if I knew it, And the horror draws on almost all their faces. ‘M means mature’ does not register with these folks unless I all but sat down with them to explain it. Otherwise only other thing I can think of is ‘Don’t watch Voltron past season 2.’ (I can’t remember the Netflix one’s full title but point remains) since I am not a fan of many decisions made past that point. The amount of people who ask me why on that one any time it’s brought up is almost amusing.
Then again unless it’s recommendation trades or it’s a YouTuber who specializes in what ever it is, like Mother’s Basement and anime, I just don’t take recommendations from people anymore either. Algorithms often do a much better job at this point for me. But I also very much know what I like (or don’t like) at this point and am tired of trying to keep up with others’ tastes
There’s a funny trend I’ve noticed in fandoms a lot. I’m sure it’s very tongue in cheek and all, but so often, literally every fandom I’ve been interested in (RWBY, Danganronpa, Persona, Homestuck… everything), fans of the series will be like “Nuuuuu it’s so cringe and problematic!!!! Don’t watch or read or play this! Haha lol.” And like, it has legitimately led to me being like “Ah, okay. It must suck or being truly something awful. I won’t engage with it.”
And then each time I eventually got into something, it’s just like “Oh… this is just like every other source material out there. A pretty good story with some flaws (sometimes can be major, but the story is still enjoyable and characters are fun).” It’s just kinda crazy how people act like engaging with “problematic” stories is different from anything else out there that you experience. There’s just upsides and downsides like everything else. Like every piece of media in existence.
I almost tend to wonder if there’s a lack of trust between people when they “recommend” these things. Are people just worried that their friends won’t understand what they see in the piece of media? That they won’t understand that it has flaws and they’ll think less of their friends for it?
I just wonder why it is I get so many pieces of media recommended to me in this fashion.

Why I Hate Teddie and How I’d Fix This Idiot (Yes, spoilers)
Yes, I know the image is low quality. In all honesty, he deserves it.
Teddie is honestly one of the worst characters I’ve ever experienced. I genuinely have no clue how people prefer this walking garbage bin to Morgana. I might be a bit biased to Morgana because I genuinely love him, but I can understand what turns people off of him.
Morgana has a nice story and relationship to Joker, but his relationship with Ryuji is painfully unchanging and grating to experience, especially during the break-up arc. Speaking of that arc, Morgana DOES steal away the spotlight from Haru in both the introduction AND the ending where he was the one to get the last word against Okumura before the battle instead of, I dunno, his actual daughter.
BUT NONE OF THAT IS WORSE THAN TEDDIE’S FLAWS.
When first playing P4G (great game btw, loved it all the way through except when I realized that I accidentally locked myself out of the true ending and got so mad I had to take a break from the game), I was fine with Teddie. In fact, he was pretty neat, being so innocently supportive of the protag after the first awakening. I was perfectly fine with having him around as an innocent otherworldly being who gets eased into the ‘real’ world and grows attached to it and wants to be a part of it.
The big fuckin’ issue is that he STOPS being that at Yukiko’s palace. At first, when he got introduced to the ‘hot stud’ thing, it was a fine joke. Innocent character gets introduced to saucy talk and doesn’t know what exactly it means. But then suddenly????
Suddenly, Teddie starts acting exactly like some suave pick-up artist??? Why??? Wasn’t the point that he had no idea what any of it was, so why was he suddenly acting like yet another pervert added to the team? We already had Yosuke and he’s enough pervert for the whole game. I love that guy, wish he was gay, but I only had enough patience for ONE pervert.
And the worst part is, Teddie continues to play the role of “I don’t know anything and I want someone to help guide me through it all so I can be useful”, while still clinging onto the “charismatic” (in HEAVY quotation marks) perv who tries to sweet talk any girl within his range.
INCLUDING THE MOTHERFUCKING 6-7 YEAR OLD NANAKO. AND THE WRITERS STILL HAD THE AUDACITY TO CREATE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH THE LITTLE GIRL YOU’VE CREATE A BROTHER-SISTER TYPE RELATIONSHIP OVER THE COURSE OF THE GAME START LIKING THE PERVERT WHO HIT ON HER.
Tumblr media
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
THIS ISN’T A MAIKO “Let’s get married when I grow up! :D” SITUATION. THE OLDER PERSON IS THE ONE WHO INITIATED IT AND IN THE SAME PERVERTED TONE HE USED ON EVERY OTHER GIRL HE HIT ON.
TLDR: Teddie is presented as an otherworldly being who wants your help to navigate through the new world he’s found himself in, just as you needed his help in the Midnight Channel at first. In reality, he’s another fucking pedophilic pervert who’s somehow worse than the hormone addled Yosuke AND allowed to have a deeper connection to the fucking CHILD he hit on.
If I were to fix him, I’d want Teddie to actually be that innocent and naive person who’s completely clueless to social situations.
First off, his SL is fucking trash. Why is every single rank up dependent mostly on what the investigation team’s doing? You can just call his link “Investigation Team 2” or hell, fucking 1.5, because it’s literally just spaced BETWEEN the ranks of the actual investigation team SL. His SL needed to be quiet one on one moments with the protagonist, updating him on all the new things he’s learned ever since coming to the real world and adapting to it. You could BE the sensei he keeps calling you. He’d come to you on advice on how things really are, admiring you for your leadership and guidance. He’d open up about how out of place he’s felt since becoming a part of the team and how his lack of memories frustrates him.
And you know what that’d make him?
Childlike.
Teddie should’ve been legitimately more childlike. In wonder, in discovery, and in social situations. And THAT would honestly make his relationship with Nanako much more warranted, AND much sweeter too! They’d both essentially the same; with Teddie being the one that Nanako could lead with her own experiences. Nanako would have a friend who thinks just as childishly and innocently as she does, with Teddie having a genuine friendship with her. Not that his relationship with you isn’t, but you’re more his mentor and superior that he respects. Nanako would be the friend at an equal level.
But alas, instead we have Persona’s own Pedobear. What a joke.

Back to Main Masterlist
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*   ♡ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Lolita fashion is something you love, and you’re not afraid to show it. 
You love how the cute dresses make you feel, and the sweet compliments you receive from others.
Although, getting dressed does take a bit of time. You always make sure you look your best before leaving your home for the day, and that includes makeup.
The best part of your day is when Yosuke’s eyes light up in recognition as he spots you from afar.
Unfortunately for his bike, and him, this results in him crashing his bike into the nearest trash can.
For the third time this week.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*   ♡ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
“Y/n! Oh, it’s so good to see you! I see you’re all decked out as usual.” Yosuke’s lips form a goofy grin as he slowly walks around you, admiring the cute bonnet on your head in the process.
“So, what’s the plan for today guys?” After Chie speaks up, the rest of the investigation team begins chatting amongst themselves. Yosuke continues to stand beside me, and he subtly grabs a hold of my arm.
He not so subtly motions for me to follow him, and so I do.
Kanji notices us separating from the group so he decides to voice a farewell. “Yo, Yosuke! Let me know how it goes. Watch out for that trash can next to you.” Kanji’s booming voice draws the attention of the others to our direction, and Yosuke’s cheeks burst in an explosion of red.
My cheeks flush as well, and I pray it goes unnoticed.
“Shut up moron, I can see the trash can! …but thanks.” Yosuke bashfully mutters the last part. He makes a quick escape with me in tow as Chie and Teddie’s teasing remarks reach my ears.
I wonder what Kanji means by ‘let me know how it goes?’
Aw well, this is my chance to impress Yosuke! I train my eyes on the back of Yosuke’s fluffy head as I recall the many times he’s made his love for Rise known. It doesn’t particularly bother me… okay, maybe it does. The girls Yosuke talks to or about clearly have little to no interest in him.
But I do! Why doesn’t he talk about me like that?
My thoughts continue in that direction until I accidentally bump into Yosuke’s back.
“Oof!” I step backwards and hope my makeup didn’t smudge on him. “Whoops, my bad! I should’ve given you a warning haha, but well, here we are!” Yosuke nervously gestures to…
I hope my face expresses the utter disappointment I feel; I stare into Yosuke’s eyes as he gestures to the Junes in front of us.
You have got to be kidding me.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*   ♡ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
“Yosuke, look.” I gesture to the trash cans in the aisle, and Yosuke gives me a similar deadpan look to the one I gave him a few moments ago.
I giggle as I flash a teasing grin in his direction. I relish the way his eyes gleam with that familiar sparkle of adoration. “All jokes aside, are you alright? That’s the third time this week you’ve fallen into a trash can.” Yosuke awkwardly coughs into his fist at my words, and he attempts to laugh it off.
“Haha, right right. Well um, thanks for the concern Y/n. I really appreciate it, but as you can see I am a-okay!” Yosuke comically tries to flex, which results in one of the trash cans knocking against his arm and almost falling into the aisle.
Before it can hit Yosuke I quickly hold the edge of it and gently push it back into place.
Phew, thank you, fast reflexes!
Yosuke looks at me in astonishment as I let out a sheepish chuckle. I notice a small cut on his hand, and I step forward to take a closer look. Yosuke’s eyes follow my line of sight, and he quickly hides his hand behind his back.
“Yosuke, do you have-“ “Oh, look! It’s the clothing aisle! Come, let’s see if they have anything similar to the lolita dresses you always wear. You look so pretty in them, it’d be a shame not to check right?” Before I can fully process his sweet compliment Yosuke gently grasps my hand in his as he guides me to the clothing section.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*   ♡ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
“Oh my gosh Yosuke, look!” The clothing section did in fact have lolita clothes, somehow, and I’m currently gushing over a cute petticoat I found in the clearance section.
“You’ll look beautiful in that petticoat, you should get it.” I abruptly look up when Yosuke’s soft voice reaches my ears, and my breath catches when his eyes meet mine.
I see evident affection in his warm brown eyes, and it acts as a magnet as I lean in closer to him. Yosuke leans in towards me as well, and we stare into each other’s eyes in silence for a few moments.
“Yosuke, how did you know there would be lolita clothes here?” Yosuke chokes on air after I ask my question, and I gently pat his back in an attempt to comfort him. After he recovers from his abrupt coughing fit, he avoids looking at my face as he speaks.
“Well, I may or may not have been interested in the cute clothes you wear, so… I looked into it. I have to say, it was very interesting to read all about lolita fashion. I also may or may not have convinced my father to bring in lolita clothes to sell at Junes, but he only agreed to sell some on clearance and see how that goes.” Yosuke sheepishly looks anywhere but at me. I’m glad he’s looking anywhere but at me so he can't see the way my bottom lip quivers.
Yosuke did this for me? That’s beyond thoughtful, and really considerate. He even looked into lolita fashion because of me!
“Yosuke, I…” I place a hand on Yosuke’s arm, and he slowly turns his head to look at me. We’re still standing close to each other, and my heart pounds against my chest as Yosuke takes in my expression. He slowly closes his eyes as he leans in closer to me, and I close my eyes in anticipation.
Yosuke’s soft lips brush against my own, and a soft sigh escapes my lips as he fully presses them against mine.
“Sensei, look! Yosuke finally did it! Yosuke finally-“
I feel Yosuke flinch, but despite that he takes his time before pulling away. I giggle as we both turn to look in the direction of a familiar voice.
I burst into laughter as Teddie comically gets yanked back into the cleaning aisle by his collar, and his loud complaints quickly fade away as Chie loudly scolds Teddie for blowing everyone’s cover.
Yosuke and I look back at each other, and it only results in me laughing harder as he groans in annoyance.
“I swear I’m going to kill him later.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*   ♡ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Yosuke ends up buying the petticoat for me despite my humble protests, and I’m practically glowing with joy as I hold the Junes bag close to my chest.
“Sorry about Teddie Y/n, that bear doesn’t know when to shut his mouth.” I dismiss Yosuke’s apology with a smile.
“No worries Yosuke! Besides, I enjoyed our kiss.” Yosuke’s face displays a goofy grin and gleaming eyes as my words reach his ears. “Oh, right. I wanted to ask you earlier, but...” Yosuke slowly stops walking, and I follow suit.
Yosuke turns to face me as the tips of his ears sport a pretty blush.
“Y/n, I’ve really enjoyed hanging out with you these last few months. I also love everything I’ve learned about you, including the parts of yourself you don’t like. So, I was wondering if you’d…” Yosuke’s eyes fix on something behind me, and he shoos whatever it is away with a few frantic flicks of his hand.
I turn to look behind me, but Yosuke quickly grabs my shoulders and pulls me towards him.
“Will you be my girlfriend Y/n?”
“H-huh…” My eyes widen at his unexpected question, and my heart flips in my chest.
My lack of a response causes Yosuke to fidget in place, but he doesn’t push me for an answer right away.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath to gather my thoughts. 
It’s honestly hard to believe this isn’t a dream.
Once my eyes open again, I quickly press a chaste kiss to Yosuke’s lips. I giggle when I pull away and his lips eagerly chase after mine. 
“You haven't heard my answer yet, you know?” Yosuke mutters something incomprehensible under his breath before he’s pulling me in for another kiss.
“Sensei, look! Yosuke’s about to get lucky!”
Yosuke ignores Teddie’s obnoxiously loud speculation as he gently runs his hands down my back to rest against my waist.
Once he does pull away, he glares daggers at who I assume is the investigation team behind us.
“You guys really don’t know how to be subtle, huh? Good thing spying isn’t a requirement in the investigation team.” Yosuke grumbles.
I boisterously laugh at his annoyance and softly pat his shoulder to placate him. “If you were still wondering, my answer is yes. I’d love to be your girlfriend, Yosuke Hanamura.”
The pure elation on his face is enough to cause a goofy smile to present itself on my lips.

Drew Yu as a trash panda raccoon
Tumblr media
Chose a raccoon for Yu because from P4's premise, Yu is from the city but moves to a rural area, which reminds me of how raccoons are adaptable to cities but there's still raccs in rural areas.
I know Yosuke is the trash can guy but I think Yu works better as a raccoon than Yosuke
