Yosuke's POV:

"Yu?" I stammer.

"Please, don't go," he moans. His eyes are still closed, but his hand is wrapped loosely around my wrist.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Promise me you'll stay."

"You know I always will..."

"Say it," he begs, his grip tightening.

"I promise."

He slowly opens his eyes, and there are tears in them.

"Hey..." I speak softly, smiling at him as he sits up. I notice he's only in his underwear. It's not like I haven't seen him like this before, but, damn... His scars still look sore. "What's the matter?"

"I don't know."

"That's fine," I try to smile; to give him hope. "Maybe we can find out together."

"No," he sighs. "I do know. I just... can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"You wouldn't get it. Nobody gets it."

"Don't say crap like that," I frown. "You're not alone, Yu. You know that."

"You're wrong."

"What?"

"Nobody knows, Yosuke..."

"Yu..."

"No one. Not you, not Shin, not Chie, or Kanji... No one."

"Maybe it'd be better if you told someone. Me," I shrug.

"Then you wouldn't like me anymore."

"There is nothing you can say or do that could ever change the way I feel about you."

He sighs.

"Take all the time you need." I reach for his hand, intertwining our fingers.

"I'm not a virgin."

I pause for a moment. "You're... not?"

I don't know whether I'm more hurt or surprised.

He's... not a virgin.

Hell, what is it of my business, anyway? He can do whatever the hell he wants... I just... I just thought that... Fuck.

"I had sex," he mumbles.

"...I- I see." I take a seat beside him, glancing over at him.

"It's not what you think, Yosuke," he breathes. "I'm not... I mean... You know. I don't... sleep around."

"I know you don't," I shake my head.

"H-hell, I didn't even want to," he splutters.

"...What?"

"It just..."

"Hey, hey, it's okay," I breathe, pressing my forehead against his.

"It..." He shakes in my arms. "It happened so fast, I..."

"Yu, Yu," I say. "Deep breaths, okay?"

He shakes his head.

"What... what happened?"

He shrugs, looking away.

"Yu..."

"One minute, she invited me to her room. The next, she was stripping off in front of me. She was pushing me onto her bed, tugging at my pants, and—" He trails off, his voice cracking.
