Persona Seven Minutes in Heaven Yosuke

       “That last turn went very well if I do say so myself, and I do. I hope this turn is as good as the last. But to make that work, I need a special kind of lady.” Teddie leaned in close to each and every girl, passing over them two or three times. “You seem special somehow. You pay just pawsably be who I'm looking for.” He grabbed your hand, tugged you onto your feet and held out the pillow case for you. “Well, let's get started.”

Too nervous to speak, you reached into the case and pulled out a large pair of red, orange and black headphones. With a quiet, timid voice you called out to the owner. “Yosuke, I have your item.” You were so quiet, Yosuke couldn't hear you. Biting your lip, you slowly walked over to him and dangled the headphones in front of his face. “I think these are yours.”

Yosuke quickly stopped his current conversation and smiled at the sight of you with his item. “Hey, it's finally my turn, awesome.” He grabbed his headphones, threw them around his neck and attempted to hop out of his seat. Unfortunately he was standing on the cord. This caused him to fall over, directly into your chest and nearly knock you onto the ground.

“Gee Yosuke, at least wait until you get in the closet.” Teddie roughly grabbed Yosuke's arm, pulling his blushing face out of your chest and shoving him into the closet. “There you go. I hope he's not too perverted in there.” Growing a little impatient, Teddie waved you into the closet and shut the door as soon as he could.

“Look, I really didn't mean to fall like that. I actually didn't mean to fall at all, it just happened. The cord was under my feet, you know?” His face was still burning as he attempted to apologize. “Oh man, I seriously messed this up, and we haven't even started yet.”

“It's okay Yosuke, you didn't mess anything up. Accidents happen, and you didn't hurt me or anything.” Once again you were too quiet for him to hear. He was still too busy degrading himself to notice you'd even said a word. You took a deep breath and smoke just a little louder, luckily, it was enough. “Yosuke.”

“Huh?” You'd managed to bring his apology to an end. “D-did you say something? You're really quiet.”

With your hands neatly placed on your lap, you gave him a gentle nod and reiterated your earlier statement. “Yes. I said you didn't need to be sorry. You didn't hurt me, and I really don't think you were trying to be perverted.” You smiled weakly. “I've seen the way you act around girls, you flirt a lot. But you've never been perverted towards them. So really, you don't need to apologize.”

Yosuke's jaw dropped. “Man, you are a lot nicer than Chie. She'd have beaten my headphones into to my head.” He knocked his knuckles against the side of his head and laughed. “I guess it's a really good thing we got paired together then isn't it?” A blush formed over the bridge of his nose.

“I think so.” His embarrassment was contagious. The moment you spotted his blush, your face began to heat up.

“H-hey, I know what this game is all about, but I don't think I can do it.” He turned his head to the floor, looking ashamed. “I hope you're not upset, but I'm going to have to take a rain check on the kissing.” Yosuke forced a smile on his face in an attempt to hide his underlying sadness. “What if I take you out to eat at Junes? It'll be my treat.”

Unsure if you could even handle the pressure of being alone with him, you quickly tried to turn down his offer. “O-oh no, you don't have to do that.”

“Come on, don't be like that.” Refusing to let you say no, he hopped to his feet, this time without tripping, and took your hand. “We'll go there now, you can bring a friend if it makes you feel more comfortable.” A little more excited than necessary, he pushed open the closet door a began walking hand in hand with you towards Junes.

“Yosuke, my man.” Teddie sighed. “Smooth with the ladies, not so smooth on his feet.”
