Inside The Midnight channel...

Yosuke and Yukiko sat outside the entrance to Void Quest. Their friends were inside training, leaving the two persona users alone.

"Its so boring whenever they go without us." Said Yosuke.

"Its not so bad." Said Yukiko. "We get a break from fighting."

Yosuke shrugged.

"Still don't like being left outside."

"You know." Began Yukiko. "We never really talk to each other one on one. Now is a good opportunity."

"Guess you got a point." Said Yosuke. "What do you want to talk about?"

"... You hear Chie has been sneaking out at night?" Asked Yukiko.

"Whys that?"

"Think she might be doing it to spend time with Yu." Replied Yukiko.

"I can see that being the reason." Said Yosuke.

"I think its nice that Chie found someone special." Said Yukiko.

"I never would have guessed that she liked Yu." Said Yosuke.

"Maybe I'll find someone soon." Said Yukiko.

"Maybe." Said Yosuke. "Ya know this isn't so bad."

"What?"

"Just us hanging out." Replied Yosuke. "We should do this more often."

"I don't see any reason not to." Said Yukiko. "We could meet up after-school tomorrow."

"Sounds good." Said Yosuke. "We could go to Ayia."

"Then its settled." Said Yukiko. "We'll meet at Ayia tomorrow."

"This is starting to sound like a date." Joked Yosuke.

Yukiko blushed lightly.

"Well its not... Just two friends spending time together."

Yosuke noticed Yu, Chie, Kanji, Teddie, and Rise stepping out of Void Quest.

"Hey guys." Said Chie, out of breath.

"You guys missed one hell of a fight." Said Kanji.

"It was pretty tough." Added Yu.

"Maybe its a good thing we didn't go in after all." Said Yosuke.

Yukiko giggled at Yosuke's remark.

"Laugh all you want, it nearly ruined my suit." Said Teddie.

"Lets get back home." Said Yu. "We need to rest."

The group made their way towards the starting area, Yosuke and Yukiko being the last to follow them out.


THE NEXT DAY...

Yukiko sat by herself in Ayia, waiting for Yosuke.

"Hope he didn't forget." Thought Yukiko.

She noticed Yoskue step into the building.

"Sorry im late." Said Yosuke, taking a seat. "Yu wanted to talk to me for a bit."

"Its alright." Said Yukiko. "So how was your day?"

"Eh." Began Yosuke. "I failed a pop quiz, but Yu brought in some lunch that was pretty good."

"He is a good cook." Said Yukiko.

"How about you?" Asked Yosuke.

"Well i'm learning... But im nowhere near as good as-"

"I meant your day." Said Yosuke. "I already know how your cooking is."

Yukiko's face turned a bright red.

"Oh... R-right... M-my day... What w-was I thinking..."

"So how was your day?" Asked Yosuke.

"I-it was fine." Said Yukiko, still embarrassed.

Yosuke sighed.

"So should we order now or..."

"Im actually not that hungry." Said Yukiko.

Before Yosuke could respond, his phone rang.

"Hold on."

Yosuke answered his phone.

"Yeah?... Now?... I guess I could... Alright. Bye."

Yosuke ended the call and got up.

"Sorry but I have to cut this short." Said Yosuke. "I'm needed at Junes."

"Its alright." Said Yukiko.

Yosuke got up.

"Thanks for hanging out." Said Yosuke.

Yosuke walked out.

"Maybe I should head home." Thought Yukiko. "The inn might need me."

Yukiko got up and left.


THE NEXT DAY.

Yukiko walked down the shopping district. It was Sunday, so she had the day off from school.

"What should I do today?" Thought Yukiko.

She noticed Yosuke leaning against a building looking bored.

"Yosuke."

Yosuke looked at Yukiko.

"Hey Yukiko." Said Yosuke.

"You look bored." Said Yukiko

"Yeah." Said Yosuke. "Got the day off and nothing to do."

"I dont have any plans, maybe we could do something." Said Yukiko.

"Any ideas?" Asked Yosuke.

"...We could go to the city." Suggested Yukiko. "Get some lunch, do some shopping."

"Hm... Why not." Said Yosuke. "Beats standing here."

Yukiko smiled.

"Then lets go."


Yosuke sighed as Yukiko browsed through clothes.

"Hm..."

"You've been looking for like ten minutes." Said Yosuke. "How haven't you found anything?"

"Nothing seems to catch my eyes." Said Yukiko. "Maybe next time..."

As the two prepared to leave the store, Yukiko felt someone grab her arm.

"Hey there."

Yukiko slowly turned her head. A boy her age was holding onto her arm.

"Hold it." Said the boy. "I'd like to talk."

"Uh... Im in a hurry." Lied Yukiko.

"I'd just like to know if a beautiful woman like youself would-"

"Hands off creep."

Yoskue pulled the Boy's hand away.

"Leave her alone." Said Yosuke.

"This doesn't concern you." Said The boy.

"Shes not interested." Said Yosuke. "Now leave."

The boy grunted and stormed out.

"T-thanks." Said Yukiko.

"No prob." Said Yosuke. "Lets get some lunch."

The two walked out of the store.


Yosuke and Yukiko sat in a small cafe, both had a sandwich in their hands.

"So anything new with you?" Asked Yosuke.

"My cooking lessons are going good." Said Yukiko. "I think I'm getting much better."

"Thats good." Said Yosuke, taking a bite of his sandwich. "Wouldn't want a repeat of Mystery food X."

Yukiko glared at Yosuke.

"Don't bring that up."

Yosuke swallowed hard.

"Sorry."

"Hey guys!"

Yosuke noticed Chie and Yu approaching them.

"Hey." Greeted Yosuke.

"Didn't expect to see you guys here." Said Chie.

"I thought i'd do some shopping." Said Yukiko. "Then I invited Yosuke."

"What brings you two up here?" Asked Yosuke.

"Well..." Began Chie.

"Were on a date." Said Yu.

Chie blushed lightly.

"Yeah..."

Yosuke smirked.

"Is that a blush?" Asked Yosuke smugly.

"N-no!" Snapped Chie.

Yu chuckled.

"Whatever." Said Chie. "Eat your damn sandwhich!"

Chie stomped off, Yu following behind.

"I don't think Ive ever seen Chie that embarrassed before." Said Yosuke.

"I'll say." Added Yukiko.


The sun was beginning to set as Yosuke walked Yukiko back to the inn.

"Thanks for bringing me along today." Said Yosuke.

"It was my pleasure." Said Yukiko.

They stopped in front of the inn.

"See you tomorrow." Said Yosuke.

"Bye."

Yosuke walked away as Yukiko stepped into the inn.

"Who was that young man?" Asked a voice.

Yukiko noticed that one of the employees, Kawasi was standing nearby.

"Oh that was my friend Yosuke." Said Yukiko.

"That Junes boy?"

"Hes actually a good person." Said Yukiko.

"You sure know how to pick'em." Said Kawasi.

"What do you mean?" Asked Yukiko.

"Oh nothing." Said Kawasi.

She chuckled to herself and walked away.

"What did she mean?" Thought Yukiko. "Did she think..."

Her face turned red.

"That I was on a date!?"

She felt her face getting hotter and took her fan out, fanning herself.

"He is nice... Wait what am I thinking?!" Thought Yukiko. "Its Yosuke! The clumsy, aloof,... Nice... Funny...GAH!"

Her face grew redder and she dropped her fan.

"Do I actually...Like Yosuke?!"
