A/N: Okay, so I participated in Souyo Week this year, and since it`s one of my popular works on Quotev, I decided to bring it over here! Hope you enjoy the first day, Confessions!

Yosuke Hanamura may be dim on some things, but that doesn`t mean he`s a total idiot...most of the time, anyway. At times like these, while on the battlefield in the TV World, he wasn`t stupid.

So why did he have so many problems with his emotions, dammit?!

Yosuke tossed and turned for the umpteenth time that night, trying desperately to find sleep. He sighed and lay on his back, glaring at the ceiling.

It was already March, the 18th to be exact, which meant that Yu would be going back to the city soon. Too soon, if you asked Yosuke. He frowned at the thought.

Dammit, I know that him leaving isn`t ideal for any of us, but why does it feel worse for me?

The brunette shook his head, trying to shake away those certain excessive and insistent thoughts.

He wouldn`t accept my feelings. He isn`t gay...

With that thought, Yosuke finally managed to fall into slumber, albeit a very light one.

Meanwhile, Yu laid on his futon, staring up at the ceiling he had become so accustomed to over the past year. He was deep in thought.

I want to tell him how I feel, no I need to tell him, but would he accept them?

The possibility of Yosuke rejecting him was quite high, and the thought of their friendship becoming strained haunted him.

The silverette sighed, closing his eyes and allowing sleep to overcome him. He had made his resolve; he would talk to Yosuke about it tomorrow.

"Yosuke, wake up! Sensei`s here!"

The yell from Teddie woke the brunette up from his light sleep, and he groaned as the bright sunlight hit his face.

"Dammit Ted, shut the blinds, would `ya?!" He yelled as his eyes burned. It didn`t take him long for his eyes to adjust, and he saw Teddie bouncing around the room.

"C`mon, c`mon! Sensei`s downstairs!" Teddie yelled, pushing Yosuke up, much to the other`s annoyance. Then the reality of those words set in, and he froze.

Wait, Yu`s here?! Why now, of all times?!

Either Teddie didn`t care or he didn`t notice Yosuke`s panic, he grabbed Yosuke by the shoulders and dragged him towards the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

"I`ll tell Sensei that you`re up and that you`ll be down in a few!" Teddie exclaimed, and then his footsteps became softer as he ran downstairs.

Yosuke stood still in the bathroom, his mind whirring. He might have to confront his feelings sooner than he thought, and the thought terrified him.

With stiffness evident, he somehow managed to freshen up and get dressed fairly quickly before he slowly walked down the stairs. It turned out that he had slept until about midday, since he didn`t see any sort of breakfast food on the table...where Yu was currently sitting.

Yu glanced over in his direction, and he smiled softly. Yosuke cursed internally at how handsome his partner looked, sunlight hitting him just right.

"Hey Yosuke. I was hoping we could go and hang out today, just the two of us," Yu said, and he marveled at how even his voice sounded. He was more than nervous, knowing that this hangout with his partner might be his last if the odds aren`t in his favor.

Yosuke nodded, shaking slightly still. Shit, he was nervous, and he could tell that Yu was picking up on it.

"Are you okay?" He asked, worry lacing his normally stoic tone. Yosuke laughed nervously.

"Y-yeah, Partner, I`m f-fine!" Damn, he didn`t mean to stutter so much. Yu didn`t look entirely convinced, but he dropped it for the moment.

They left a couple minutes later, and once they started hanging out, all worries were forgotten for a while.

Well, until they wandered to the Samegawa Floodplain, that is. The silence was comfortable, but then Yosuke remembered why he had become so nervous beforehand. He was shaking again, and this time Yu addressed it.

"Are you sure you`re okay, Yosuke? Ever since we settled down here you`ve been quiet," Yu asked, putting a hand on the brunette`s shoulder.

Yosuke jumped at the sudden contact, a blush forming on his face.

"D-dude, I`m fine!" Yosuke said, and he even thought that he didn`t sound too convincing. Yu frowned, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"You obviously aren't okay, since you were shaking before when we left," Yu`s tone had a strict worry to it. "What`s going on, Yosuke?" He asked.

Yosuke stayed silent, looking down towards the ground. His hazel eyes were starting to burn, and he shook more. Yu stilled, and then, with a voice that sounded so small that Yosuke was shocked that it came from the other, asked something he never wanted to ask.

"I...I didn`t do anything, did I? You aren't mad at me for something, are you?"

When Yosuke looked up, he saw that Yu had lowered his gaze, and he saw the other`s shoulders shake. Without thinking, Yosuke pulled the other into a hug, and he felt Yu stiffen.

"No...you didn`t do anything wrong. If anything, I`m the one to blame for this," Yosuke said, and he knew now that there was no going back. Yu pulled away and looked at Yosuke in confusion, and Yosuke sighed, a blush starting to form.

"You see, ever since we got closer, I haven`t been able to get you off of my mind. No matter what, I would always think about you. At first, I thought that it was because of our friendship, but as time went on, I knew that was no longer the case," Yosuke took a deep breath, and noted Yu`s silence.

"W-what I`m trying to say is," Yosuke looked Yu right in the eye, "I love you, Yu!"

The silence that followed his declaration was suffocating. He was still shaking, his nerves catching up with him. He noted that the sun was setting, and he mentally winced. Now Yu only had two days left to stay here.

He lowered his head, shrugging off Yu`s hands on his shoulders. As he turned to walk away, he suddenly found himself being turned back to the other, and then there was a warmth on his lips and- holy shit, Yu was kissing him!

The moment his brain caught up the kiss had been broken, and he was opening his eyes-when the hell did his eyes close?!-to see Yu`s smiling and flushed face. His silver eyes shone with the intensity of his smile.

"I love you too, Yosuke. I have for a while," Yu said eventually, and Yosuke smiled, too. They hugged each other, giggling and kissing and overall being glad that they were together now.

They both knew that Yu had to go back to the city, and that maintaining their relationship over that distance would be difficult, but they knew they`d be able to work it out. After all, they`re partners for life.
