It didn't help there are fake rumors about me that had been spread by a teacher...

[Good thing Ryuji was Ryuji, he was glad to have his friend. He very dramatically clicks his tongue with the same grin as before.] Really? That's too bad.

[Oh? Ren watches him after he was apparently reminded of something and...

...oh.

oh.

Yosuke says a few words after that, but Ren's not really listening at the point, his eyes staring in surprise at the Morgana. If there ever was a vulnerable state to see him in, this was probably it. Shoulder slightly slumped he pokes at the toy and the little yellow collar that Kanji has made for it.

He reads the note in silence, briefly smiling at the message, considering what had happened when both he and Naoto had been dragons.

It takes a while before he speaks again.]

Thank you.

[Ren, did you really think he would just start hooking up with dudes. C'mon.

But Yosuke watches his face as he takes in the cat. He keeps silent until Ren speaks and nods at the thank you. He was seriously wondering for a second there if he'd really made a bad move with that.]

I know it's... not the same. But I thought it might help a little. I get it, so.

[Not that he wants a plush version of Teddie, mascot suit or not. But still. He understood.]

[A small smile creeps on his face. It's a lot less laced with Ren's usual playful tone. He looks unusually grateful, serene. He doesn't get that many presents, after all.]

It's amazing and super adorable. Thank you again, Yosuke.

[Of course because it's Ren it doesn't last long.]

If I had known kissing you would have gotten me a Morgana plush, I would have done it earlier.

You just had to ruin it. That's it, give it back, you don't deserve it anymore.

[He made to reach for it as it to take it, but it was halfhearted and he was laughing all the while. Like he would really take back a gift that both Kanji and himself put together.]

No take backs. I'd just steal it back anyway.

[He gives the plush a little pat on the head before they continue. Where were they? Oh right, he was finishing preparing coffee. He returns a few minutes later with two cups and places one in front of him along with the snacks Kanji made. Ren did like to share when he had that type of present.]

Well if you ever end up hooking with a good guy, let me know...I might give him a call too.

[Okay, now he's just teasing. Again.]

What are you, my older brother? Last I checked, I'm older than you anyway.

[ He takes the cup of coffee, curling his hands around the warm cup for a moment. He'll let it cool a little so he takes a bite of the snacks instead.]

How're you so sure it's gonna be a guy anyway? Could still be a chick.

No, if I saw you as a brother we'd be having a different conversation right now. But you're right, maybe I should call you Yosuke-senpai from now on.

[Then he just smiles.]

I said 'if you ever'. If you meet a good girl, I wouldn't mind making a call too.

[Wow.]

Pretty sure we're past senpai and all that.

[ A small sip of the coffee and snorts a little, not hard enough to spill the coffee but enough that he needs to take a proper swallow before he speaks again. ]

You're not making a call to whoever it is I end up dating.

Ha ha, I guess so.

[It's Ren's turn to laugh as he gently moves around the coffee in his cup.]

Well, since you asked so nicely.

[There's no punchline this time. Ren knows when to stop teasing.]
