Can't Keep Checking My Phone

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I got it," Adachi grumbles. I hear the fabric of the couch shift before seeing him appear beside me.

"I'm okay," I murmur.

"You heard?"

"You weren't quiet."

"Right," he nods with a sigh. "Ignore him. Just a miserable old bastard."

I smile a little. It's reassuring to hear him say something like that.

"Dojima-san seems well," he continues, glancing back.

"Yeah," I breathe.

"I wanted to give you guys chance to talk, but..." He says. "Kammono-san over there won't allow it."

"I'd be surprised if he did."

"Listen. Let me give you a hand, alright?"

"I'm fine alone."

"Narukami—"

"Go find out whatever else you can about the situation."

His eyes widen. I suppose he wasn't expecting me to bark orders at him, but he nods anyway.

At least I can count on him.

Yosuke's POV:

No Yu, huh? Seems like it's gonna be a long day...

He never said anything, though. I guess that's what's bothering me. Did something come up?

As if on cue, my cell vibrates beneath the table.

"Whoever's cellphone that is," Kashiwagi snaps. "Turn it off. Otherwise, I'll take it and you won't get it back."

Bitch.

Then again, King Moron woulda just come up and snatched it off me in front of everyone, giving a huge lecture on how useless and pathetic technology was.

...Still. He didn't deserve to go down like that. He was innocent.

I wait until Kashiwagi turns her back.

Kanji

Kanji: Yu should be
back by lunch.

I frown.

Yosuke: u spoke 2 him?

Kanji: Yeah?

Yosuke: well is he okay?

Kanji: He's fine.

He's acting as if I don't have the right to know what's going on with Yu.

Yosuke: where is he

Kanji: With Dojima-san.

Shit. Why didn't he say anything!?

Yosuke: Alone??

Kanji: Adachi-san and
Nanako-chan are there too.

Oh, great. Adachi.

Kanji: Don't worry about
him.

Yosuke: yeah

Yosuke: dont worry abt naoto
either
