[He finishes his piece, unsure of what would happen next. It had been a lot, he knew it was a lot, but the words tumbled out of his mouth and once it started he couldn't stop. He felt those were things Yu needed to know, to get it out of the way so it wasn't a question later. You couldn't solve a problem if you didn't know it was there to begin with, or couldn't get help with it if you hid it away. He almost gulps in anticipation of a response, and searches Yu's face. Yosuke's eyes dart between one grey eye to the other, then down, and back up again. It felt better having Yu lean on him like this, and Yosuke realizes now that he's gripping onto Yu's hand tighter than he intended. In turn, he can feel that his partner has done something similar.
And the expression on Yu's face is comforting- that smile that he's come to know well, calm and inspiring. There's nothing else he can do but to mirror that, eyes brightening at the sight alone. Yosuke nods at the words spoken, and his eyes close as Yu's face comes closer to his own. There's no fear now, maybe a little anxiety as he's imagining that he's about to be kissed, but the kiss doesn't come. Instead, he feels the forehead bump against his own, and his eyes open in wonder. But that's quickly erased with a soft smile that crosses his features, staring back into his own reflection in the eyes of someone he loved dearly, that he's sure if the roles were switched he'd of done the same. He'd of risked everything for this person who leaned against him, shared his warmth and care and did everything in his power to make sure that his partner was safe, almost at the cost of his own life.]
...Yu.
[He can't help but grin a goofy grin now. Caught up in a rush of feelings that threatened to swallow him whole, he deals with it by laughing quietly.]
You really know how to deliver some cheesy stuff. I'd be lying if it didn't get me every time, though. [He winks, throwing his arm up around Yu's shoulder, tugging him in, though careful of his wounds. They're close enough that he presses his own forehead now against his partner's, still grinning.]
We'll get through this to the very end, just like we always do, right partner?
i'm so proud you've made me happy today
