Yosuke woke up that morning ready for the trip to Tokyo. He had shoved a load of clothes into a small suitcase with a few essentials in. They would only be going to Tokyo for three days but Yosuke was determined to at least see some of the sight the city had to offer. Puling himself together he took a quick shower, got dressed and gathered the rest of things before heading downstairs. Excitement was slowly coursing through him. Just the thought of him and Yu going to look for a place to start their new life was giving him warm fuzzy feelings which he was sure showed on his face. His mother was sat in her usual spot at the dining table reading some form of magazine whilst his father was filling out some business sheet at the desk. Both of them had noticed Yosuke come down and smiled at him which was weird in itself. Not that his family were not affectionate people but they were usually very busy in the morning and would spend more time with Yosuke and Teddie in the evening. "Yosuke we know you're going to Tokyo today but we wanted to have a chat with you before you go" His mother said softly with a small twinkle in her eye. "Well I guess I still have some time before meeting Yu" Yosuke replied taking a seat next to her. The thought of his mother having a serious talk with him didn't fill him with much confidence especially when she announced it like that after all his mother was pretty carefree. "How are you getting along with Yu?" She asked curiously as his father also came and sat down at the table which worried Yosuke even more. "We are getting along fine why do you ask" Yosuke questioned and his father sighed. "Is there something more between you and Yu" His father asked bluntly. Well Yosuke supposed that where he got his habit of sprouting stuff out at the wrong time from. The realisation of what his father had asked slowly sunk in and Yosuke could feel himself begin to panic. "I don't know what you mean" He said quickly. He had to think of an excuse and fast. "You could have asked him more subtly dear" His mother whined and then placed her hand on Yosuke's shoulder. "Yosuke we know Yu is special to you. You always used to complain about not having a girlfriend and well I would constantly have to declutter your room of them filthy magazines. But well you started talking about Yu a lot more than anything else and well I was searching your room and found this" she passed Yosuke the bracelet that Yu had got him before he had left Inaba. "I have never seen you treasure something so much and well this was a present from Yu wasn't it" Yosuke took the bracelet of the table and quickly put it on his wrist, hoping he could gather some form of courage from it.
"You shouldn't have searched through my room like that" Yosuke could only mutter out. He didn't really mind when it was dirty magazines but this felt much more personal. "I'm sorry dear" His mother sighed. "You know we think Yu has actually been a good influence on you so it's probably a good thing" his father knowingly nodded his head. "You know it's okay to be in love with Yu. He is a very nice lad, very polite and friendly. Yosuke I know you're in love with him so don't try to deny it dear" His mother then got up from her seat and walked over to hug Yosuke. "We still love you" she whispered gently and it was all too much for Yosuke as he felt thick tears begin to fall down his eyes. "I was so worried" He wept trying to wipe the tears from his eyes. "I know you wanted to perfect son, someone who would get married and have children and everything else. I'm sorry" How could his parents still accept him even like this? He thought to himself. "I never really cared about that stuff as long as you live a decent life and stay out of trouble" His father replied whilst his mother held him closer. "Yosuke you can still do all them things regardless. Nothing will change just because you have fallen in love with a man. You have nothing to be sorry for" His mother cradled him more whilst Yosuke could only mutter his thanks for having such great parents.
Then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it" Yosuke said getting up and rushing to the door to find Yu standing there all packed and ready. As soon as Yu saw Yosuke tearful face he immediately looked concerned. "Yosuke what's the matter? Has something happened?" He asked voice filled with worry. "We were just having a chat" His mother replied "Please look out for our boy for us. Yosuke very important to us and well look after yourself as well" His mother then offered Yu a hug which he accepted though very confused. "I'll get my stuff" Yosuke said grabbing his belongings. "Now you two take care and look after each other" His mother called after them and they both thanked her and headed to the station.
"What was that all about" Yu asked as they moved further away from Yosuke's house. "My parents they knew about my feelings for you. I guess they worked it out" He sighed. "I guess I wasn't as discreet as I thought but they were happy for me" Yu breathed a sigh of relief "I'm so glad" and he had the biggest grin on his face. Yosuke couldn't help but think about what Dojima had said the night before. "Will you ever tell your parents about us?" He asked carefully. Yu sighed and gave a small smile. "They don't need to know. You're the most important thing and well Dojima and Nanako are more of my family than they are" He replied. "anyway none of this depressing talk, We have a train to catch and a flat to view" Yu said with his grin widening. Yosuke grinned "Too right partner" For now he was going to let the subject go but Yosuke couldn't help but feel uneasy about Yu's parents and their effect on his life.
The next chapter will be their arrival in Tokyo wooo! But I felt I had to make Yosuke's parents the most supportive and since I didn't have to stick to characteristics it was easier to write than Dojima XD But Yay. I'm also posting one shots over on my A03 accounts if you want to read more stuff :)
