[As much as he doesn't want him to keep blaming himself, Ren stays quiet and lets Yosuke finish instead of interrupting him. As the other looks back at him, he nods.]
It's not a story for me to tell.
[Even if Yosuke hadn't asked, Ren wouldn't have done it either. The beeping makes itself known again and Ren scoots a little closer.]
It might be better if you get that noise under control, however.
[Otherwise they will be probably be asking questions.]

[ Sorry Ren. He's embarrassed with himself and he feels its his own fault. But he's grateful when he agrees. It's not that he believes the others would make fun of him, just the opposite really. He didn't want to hear the worry or more. Especially Chie who still seemed to be mad he ever liked the upperclassman in the first place. ]
It might take awhile just from holding hands, but...
[ They had gotten it to the point that he wasn't at dangerous levels, so it wasn't doing the angry beeping. But it was like a smoke detector at this point, beeping at intervals until the battery was replaced. Or, in this case, Chroma. ]
[He casually takes off his shirt as he stands up and leans his back into Yosuke's own. They can't see each other anymore, but there's a lot more skin touching that way without making it too embarrassing for the other.]
[ Be proud, Yosuke didn't blush too hard at seeing Ren take off his shirt and then just lean against him, back to back. But his cheeks did turn pink and tried to hide them in his knees again. ]
I... um, yeah. But I-I mean... you can, y'know. We can share.
[ He pulled his reddened face from his knees to open the blanket slightly. ]
[Adorable. Ren didn't get to see much of it until he felt Yosuke's tug of the blanket and quickly slinked himself closer to him so they could be side by side instead.]
[ He spread the blanket around Ren to share the warmth of Chroma, leaning against the other teen once they were bundled. He was still a little red-faced, but it wasnโt like he didnโt like Ren or anything. Honestly, he shouldnโt be acting so shy now. He rested his cheek against Renโs shoulder. ]
Once the phone stops yelling at me, think I could borrow some clothes?
[ Although he kind of didnโt want Ren to leave the room either. Aside from being down to his boxers, he was comfortable. ]
[Ren is going to take a queue that it's perfectly fine for him to rest his head on top of Yosuke's in that case. Unlike Yosuke's his breathing is a lot more controlled and rhythmic.]
Yeah. I wouldn't let anyone leave here in wet clothing. We have about the same size too.
[ He laughed softly, enjoy the warmth from Ren as he leaned in a bit more heavily now. He was tired but the comfort was growing. He was glad it was Ren that had pulled him out of the waters. ]
Well, I'd hope not.
[ He figured they were roughly the same size, he thought Ren had a few centimeters on him but otherwise it'd fine until his clothes dried. ]
So... how're you holdin' up, anyway?
[ Rescue aside, he also did lose a couple friends. Both Ann and Ryuji disappeared, likely having gone home. He hoped that's where they went anyway. ]
[He laughs back although if it's from the Chroma or just because the idea of him leaving someone soaked is funny, he's not quite sure anymore. It just felt...nice.
And he appreciated Yosuke asking how he went. Sure, it made him a little sad to think about it, but he knew he had other people here caring enough too.]
It's hard, knowing I won't be able to speak to them each day. I just hope they went back home, and not the place they were before coming here. I don't know what I would do to this place if I found out that was the case...
He nodded slightly, not to much to dislodge Ren. He wondered about that too. If they ended up back at that other place instead of home. What if that happened to his partner too? ]
Just hope for the best, then. You'll just worry yourself sick otherwise.
[ Heโd told Ann much the same, that theyโd figure themselves out even without their memories. He was confident too.
When Ren asked, he noticed his phone wasnโt really beeping anymore. So it looked like he was out of the danger zone now. His chest and throat felt sore but that was probably from coughing up the water. ]
Safe and cozy, actually.
[ If he wasnโt just down to his boxers, heโd likely want to stay like this as long as possible. But he wasnโt sure how comfortable Ren would be doing that. ]
[The lack of beeping, as comically video-game like as it was, was good to 'hear'. The fact Yosuke sounded like he also felt better helped as well, considering what had just happened less than an hour. It was why he hadn't made too many jokes or gone farther than what was needed.]
We don't have to move until you're ready. I like being like this too. Good thing it's not the Cordis moon, I'd probably start purring.
[ And he only ever wanted to hear it in video games from here on out. Two times is two times too many now.
He laughed a little at that, his voice scratching a bit. ]
Thatโd be cute, Iโm sure. I donโt think I heard you purr before. Should I get you a bell too?
[ Ren certainly was Ren, and Yosuke didnโt know why but he was helping him be more at ease with all this in the same vein that Keigo had. He liked being comfortable with this. Hopefully nearly dying wonโt be in his future for it to happen again. ]
[It might be hard to tell due to Ren's head being over his, but the brief movements of his chest to suppress a laugh then fail probably explained it by itself.]
Oh! So now you're going to throw shade at me? Is this a revenge for the collar comment a while ago? Maybe I am rubbing off on you a little too much.
[Ren does like it when people talk back. He uses his free hand to take off his glasses, putting them on the table.]
You are more than welcome to find out what it sounds like next full moon. Or I can make a purr-sonal appearance.
[ His nose scrunched as he laughed much louder now, not at all trying to contain it. ]
Maybe you are, maybe not. Iโm allowed to tease when I want. I canโt always be taking it.
[ Yosuke can generally take more than he dishes out, mostly because he didnโt always do a good job. But when he got it right, he got it right. He couldnโt help but groan at the pun, though. ]
Youโre terrible and you should feel bad for making me hear that. Are you sure you wonโt be too busy stuffing your face to make a special appearance just for me?
[Ren is all about people standing up for themselves and snapping back, after all. Thankfully Yosuke can't see Ren's face burn into a mischievous smile at that last comment.]
Well I know who I'd do right now...
[But Yosuke just came out of the water. The last thing Ren wants to do is make things worse. Granted the fact they are close together is not helping at all.]
[To be fair, the more at ease Yosuke had become with Ren, the more the moonlacing was having an effect. The warmth was nice and not just the physical warmth they gave each other cuddling like this. But he was appreciative that Ren hadnโt done anything either. No real teasing or anything until now that was.
It took a moment for Yosuke to even realize too. But his cheeks burned a bit, he couldnโt help but feel flattered. ]
R-Really? Even after saving my dumb ass?
[He couldnโt help the self-depreciation. It was too easy for him to fall back on despite how obvious it was that he was okay with Ren being forward. And Yosuke would like to move forward from this.
[Ren doesn't like when his friends assume the worst of themselves. He was about to say something about how it wasn't his fault again when he realized that he seemed okay with what he was implying and his eyes go wide.
Silently, he separates himself from him, so they can look at each other eye to eye instead of leaning.]
I am.
[He then gently brings him into a hug with both his hands around the other's neck, their face dangerously close to each other as their foreheads touched.]
[ Yosuke really couldnโt help but feel a little disappointed when Ren pulled away, the warmth was so nice and he missed it already. Not that he shouldnโt have been worried, Ren didnโt go far. The blanket fell around them so he felt a little cold again, but it was replaced but the hug he was pulled into.
He sighed through his nose as their foreheads met, the more intimate touch felt good. He nodded, nudging the thiefโs head a little. ]
Yeah. I am.
[ He was confident in that. While he hadnโt expected to end the day like this, it was better than how it started. And he really did want it now that it was on the table. He proved this by giving Ren another nudge and then initiating a kiss, pulling him a little closer in the process. ]
[Ren couldn't help but be a little in awe of his sudden boldness, considering what had happened that day. Maybe it was just a side effect from the moonlacing that made people's guards go down so fast - and it wasn't that he hated it either. Then again, replacing traumatic images with something more intimate and softer was definitely what Yosuke might need, and Ren's own desires not only made him pretty much available for any situation, but quite easy to switch to.
He lets his friend lead the both of them into it, trying not to escalate things too quickly, even if from his own small sigh and reach into Yosuke's mouth, he just eagerly wanted more. It takes a while before he stops to take in a gasp of air, causing a small cloud of mist from the subconscious usage of his powers. He gives Yosuke a look that suggests that this will definitely not end with just with them kissing if he keeps up.]
Maybe we should go someplace a little warmer? Or I can get a few more blankets...
[ It had been traumatic but thatโs why it was easier to just let himself realize heโd been stupid and move forward from it. Heโll likely overthink it more later, but right now he just didnโt want to think about it. Not when kissing Ren felt so good. He could feel that Ren wanted more and so did Yosuke. But heโs also a bit caught up in the kiss until Ren pulls apart to gasp.
Heโs panting as well and he blinks at the mist. He didnโt quite make the connection to the moonblessings but the look Rem gives him only sends a shiver down his spine. He nodded. ]
U-Uhm... I kinda donโt wanna move...
[ He laughed sheepishly, flushing. Doing it on the living room floor would be a first but... they could move if Ren really wanted it too. ]
[Idly, he moved backwards so he could place a single finger on Yosuke's mouth with a grin, giving a quick kiss on the forehead.]
Okay then, don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
[It was a blink-and-you'll miss it moment, but Ren was there, disappeared for a few seconds, and returned with a bunch of...items on the table and a lot more covers around them. The other ability he had permanently used on himself.]
You know, if you really want to experience something interesting, the Globular has a zero gravity mode...otherwise what type of scenery should I set it to?
