“OH look, its my so called friends!” The last word was spat, full of venom. “Here to berate me for being such a lameass?” He asks as he looked toward the investigation team, and then he turned to Rebecca and started laughing. Before the investigation team could do anything, he grabbed her hand ”As for you, You’re taking the easy way” he said, disappearing with her and leaving the investigation team to go after them.
They reappeared in a dead end, with piles of junk everywhere, with a large monitor in the center of the room, showing Yu and the others. Yosuke (The actual one) was lying on the floor. Shadow Yosuke let go of Rebecca’s hand and set her down besides her boyfriend, then sat himself down, eagerly watching the screen
Yosuke himself appeared to be unharmed, but barely conscious. “Becca? Why the hell are you even over here?” he mumbled weakly, looking around for the other members
“Wait wha- ?!”
The sudden teleportation left her stumbling for a moment before she ended up plopping down on her rear end, armor clinking together under her shirt and pants.
“Oof!”
Thankfully her headset didn’t come flying off like it usually did, so she brought herself to her knees to look over Yosuke, leaving her naginata to her side. A gentle, yet calloused hand ran through his hair, almost in comfort. He looked exhausted…
“To save you, ya adorable doofus…”
She took off her coat, draping it over her boyfriend’s chest in hopes it could help, then she gently took his worryingly limp hand, running a thumb over his knuckles.
“I’m the only one here right now, the others are still climbing this place… Your shadow… he brought me up here.”
Absently, she held his hand to her face, worried about the chill she felt in his skin. Hopefully her own heat could help…
“Even that deep down, you wanted me close, huh?”
Her question was soft, yet she didn’t expect an answer.
Rebecca watched her television in horror, the first time she had ever watched the Midnight Channel. Guilt pooled in her stomach, she should’ve gone with him, dammit!
The guilt had turned to fury by the time school came and went, and the team jumped into the TV to find Yosuke. Rebecca had nearly smashed open the door in protective fury. Then, she spotted her boyfriend’s shadow, marching right up to it and ignoring what the team yelled at her while she dragged her naginata behind her.
“Alright, let’s hear what you gotta say then. Lay it on us.”
[~☪~] Shinjiro glanced up at the young lady who had soon began to complain about the teens in the corner who were eating their meals, and talking about something that seemed important. He couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.
“I think whoever ends up hearing what they are talking about, they kind of brush it off, considering even you don’t really understand what it is they are speaking of.” His hands hadn’t stopped moving, as he was finishing up the next order on his list of tickets.
Rebecca let out a huff in response, eating some more before quietly speaking again.
“It’s confusing the shit outta me, honestly. One minute, they’re talkin’ about stuff that I swear is straight out of Dungeons and Dragons. The next is freakin’ Jungian psychology.”
“They’re not like this in school though, which is why I thought it was odd. We’re not learning psychology in class at all.”
She was scared, and he knew it. Pulling her into his arms, he softly and silently hugged her, letting the soft noise and feeling of his heartbeat calm her down. He wouldn’t let there be another incident, whether it be a murder, or a kidnapping. He had to solve this case.
The vibration of Yosuke’s heartbeat calmed her as she wrapped her arms around the other. She was afraid, for both him and herself.
“…I don’t want to lose you. I’m scared you’ll be next…”
Quietly, she grasped at his sleeve, nodding. Rebecca was a little scared, considering there had been a… No, she couldn’t think about that right now. And yet, it had only been that very morning when it happened.
“What’s so great about that guy that his flirting works? He’s not even that sweet if he’s bein’ such a playboy.”
“What the balls is going on now? Someone’s flirting?”
“Do I even want to know why I just heard ‘demon cat’.”
