[burningblossoms]

[It is, and that's why she picks up. Immediately.]

Yosuke?

[youraffection]

[ It must be an emergency! Or... ]

Hey! Yukiko! How's it going?

[burningblossoms]

[This is weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.]


It's going okay. What's up?

[youraffection]

It's going! Just, you know. Not very fast. Uh...actually, are you busy right now?

[burningblossoms]

No, no, I was just finishing up putting some posters up in my new room.

Do you need something?

[youraffection]

Actually...yeah, I kinda do. My mom's out of the house right now and my dad's at work as per usual. Yu's also at work and Souji needs rest and stuff, so...

[ Help me Obi Wan Kenobi? ]

I need to go to the store but I can't really ride my bike right now.

[burningblossoms]

Okay.

[That's...no big deal.]

I can come pick you up. No big deal. You're at home?

i also realize this needs to be prior to the monster attacks, so more like 7/28 whoops

[youraffection]

Oh man, you're the best! Thanks!

[ Relief! He hates being a lump. ]

Yeah! Just chilling. I can wait outside.

[burningblossoms]

Sure.

[And...in about 15 minutes she'll arrive in the Mystery Wagon, still blue...she's saving for the proper paint job.

Hopping out, she walks up to the steps where presumably Yosuke is sitting, just like Stoop Kid...]

Okay. Ready when you are.

[A beat.]

How's your arm?

[youraffection]

[ Bless Yukiko and her van. He won't be embarrassed to be seen in it until it's psychedelic.

He is most defintiely stoop kid. Yosuke smiles and waves with his good arm. As she approaches, he stands on slightly wobbly legs, though it's likely mostly from sitting around too much.

At her question, he shrugs, scratching at the edge of his cast. ]

Eh, it's okay. Mostly itchy. Thanks for this--it's driving me crazy not being able to leave the house without being a loaf.

[burningblossoms]

[STOOP KID LEFT HIS STOOP!]

[Yukiko shakes her head and opens the passenger side for him before heading back around to the other side.]

It's no trouble, Yosuke. I can imagine.

[Starting the car up once he was secure...]

So how'd it happen, anyway?

[youraffection]

[ HEY ARNOLD!

Yosuke doesn't waste any time hopping in the passenger side. He pulls the door shut with his good arm and straps himself in. ]

Oh, uh...well, you've seen Souji recently, right?

[burningblossoms]

You mean, shambling around like a zombie? Yes. I have.

[And she doesn't sound happy about it.]

[youraffection]

[ No, she really doesn't. Her expression definitely clouds and he's got a feeling this isn't going to make her any happier. Yosuke scratches the side of his nose and focuses, instead, on the dash of the car. ]

Yeah...he, uh--

[ Geez. ]

--he kinda took a wrong turn and I stepped in.

[burningblossoms]

Wait...

[She slows for a red light, looking at him awkwardly.]

What? You mean...

[Gesturing at his arm...]

He wandered into traffic or something?!

[youraffection]

[ Wow. She got that pretty quick.

Yosuke glances at her with an apologetic grimace. ]

...Yeah, actually--that's exactly what happened.

[burningblossoms]

[You weren't exactly subtle. And Souji isn't in the hospital so he's got to be fine. But you have the broken arm, Yoosk...

Yukiko frowns deeply, turning down the street to Freshens...]

That was very brave of you.

[youraffection]

[ She's not mad. Honestly, that's what he was most afraid of. Yosuke let's out a sigh and shakes his head. ]

I dunno about that. I wasn't really thinking? It just kind of happened. I'm just glad he's okay. He really wrecked himself...

[burningblossoms]

Yeah, he's...really fucked up.

[Yep. She's swearing. That's how serious this is.]

He and I talked. He hasn't been sleeping, that idiot.

[youraffection]

[ Oh shit.

Yes, yes it is. It's enough to make Yosuke sit a little straighter in his seat. ]

Oh yeah? Yeah...yeah, he hasn't. I...

[ He exhales through his nose, somewhat dejected. ]

I kinda knew. He's been texting me really late. And I stayed over at their place the other day and I could tell he was getting up and hanging out in the living room and messing around on his phone. I knew, but I didn't' do anything about it.

[burningblossoms]

What could you have done?

[It's an honest question. She doesn't expect an answer though, since she keeps on talking.]

I mean, he wasn't really talking to anyone. I had to yell at him to even get him to pay attention to me.

[youraffection]

Yeah?

[ Geez, Souji. It's easy to be mad at him, but honestly? Yosuke just sees this as a failure as a friend. Maybe someone should have yelled at him before it got this bad. ]

Maybe he doesn't think he can talk to anyone.

[burningblossoms]

Maybe he doesn't.

[Turning into the lot now and powering down.]

But then he should learn. That's just...no man is an island.

[youraffection]

Yeah...

[ He's...just not sure what the right answer is. How do they let him know that he can talk to them?

Well, at least they're at the store. ]

Hey, I'll get you something--as a thanks for driving me.

[burningblossoms]

Oh. Okay, sure.

[You know, she'll accept that.]

I think a box of topcicles would be perfect, actually. It's so hot out.
