[That was a peculiar look for Yu, a bit addled, and he stores that little bit of information away for another time. That is useful information, and that might be fun later, the little shit part of him thinks. Seriously...did he really do that to Yu? Awesome.
But his little victory party to himself is once again cut short. Yosuke peers at Yu, very aware of the hand that's still placed around his waist and how close they still were. It's easy to rile the boy up, but now, he knows he's being had and he swears he's not taking the bait this time. If anything, the little jab actually brings him back from his panic attack, in favor of something he knows. This is normal, this behavior between the two of them. The familiar sense of Yu trying to get at him, despite those shining eyes that plainly said to him that he was joking around.]
Don't even kid yourself, you're not done and you know it. Not this time, partner. I'm not falling for it.
[It helps bring him to a place when they'd first kissed in the hospital. When Yosuke realized that this was another person, not just a guy. He'd felt calm then, and he resolves to fall back into that memory, that feeling he had then. Love was more than that, right? It was more than what he'd conformed to at home. That's how they all were, coming to accept themselves for who they really were...and now, he's not sure why he's trying to fight it so hard.]
Come're, you jerk.
[The anxiousness is still there, but lessened. If he focuses on his own heart instead of the panic in his mind, it's easier. His head leans back in, tilted just so- and with a bit more confidence, more assured with a familiar determination that Yu will recognize when he presses his lips to the other's, he gives his partner a real kiss. One that reflected what he felt for Yu rather than his fear, a fear he'd work to get over one day. One step at a time.]
i'm really good at getting these kinds of reactions out of you
