“Yeah,” Yosuke agreed, stretching himself. “That sounds like a plan. Seems like we're not the only ones in Inaba with insomnia lately- I keep hearing others out here.”
“Others like us?”
“Kanji!” Yosuke looked away from Souji just in time to see Teddie fling himself at Kanji, who was sitting in the shrine with Naoto. The detective was clearly trying not to laugh as Kanji ruffled Teddie's hair and then gruffly shoved the blonde away, fighting down a blush.
“You guys couldn't sleep either, huh?” Yosuke asked sympathetically, taking a seat beside Souji. Teddie immediately claimed Yosuke's other side, pressing far closer than personal space allowed. Yosuke didn't particularly mind; he craved physical contact at the best of times, and Teddie was a special exception to personal space, anyway. The whole team let him get away with things they'd throttle each other for.
Naoto sighed. “I dislike having to admit it, but... not for days now.”
“But we can all be awake together!” Teddie said enthusiastically, shouldering people aside and shoving them into each other until the five of them were huddled into an awkward ball of warmth on the shrine steps instead of simply seated near each other.
They all could have moved again, of course, reinstated their own little bubbles of space. No one did, not even Naoto. Teddie seemed to know they could all use the comfort.
Sometimes Yosuke wondered how much Teddie really understood about the way the world worked. More and more often recently Ted's more simplistic view of relationships seemed the only real way to consider them.
“Uh,” Kanji's voice said from somewhere in the middle of the huddle. “Now what?”
Yosuke ducked his head into Souji's shoulder as Teddie leaned heavily against him. “I want to count the stars!”
“You're welcome to try,” Yosuke laughed.
“Okay! There's one! There's another! That one makes three! There's-”
“There's the Canis Major constellation,” Souji's soft voice cut him off.
Teddie leaned back too far to try and see it and ended up windmilling his arms until Yosuke, Kanji and Souji reached out and hauled him back upright. Naoto was studying the sky instead. Yosuke wasn't sure why until the detective quietly said, “There's Orion,” and pointed.
“I wish I knew the stories behind the constellations better,” Kanji mumbled.
“Let's make up our own,” Souji suggested, and a change in his voice made Yosuke turn and look at him. Sure enough, Souji was smiling, really smiling, for the first time that night. “It's more fun that way anyway.”
“Oh! Oh! Can we make up our own constellations too? I wanna have a Great Bear constellation!”
“That already exists, dumbass, it's called Ursa Major.” Kanji's slow swipe came nowhere near actually hitting Teddie. “You can see it in the spring.”
“But I wanna constellation noooow!”
“Fine, we'll call that cluster of stars over there Teddie,” Naoto compromised.
“Awesome! Wait, though, those don't look like a bear. At all.”
“Well, no, they look like a cluster of stars,” Yosuke agreed. “Use your imagination, Ted.”
“Okay!” Teddie bounced back immediately. “Then that group over there can be Yosuke! And that one can be Sensei!”
“Uh, Teddie? That's the moon.”
“I know! It's the biggest and the brightest!”
“Hey, are you calling the rest of us dumb?” Yosuke shouldered Teddie playfully.
“Or are you calling me fat?” Souji added.
“There's more of you to love, Sensei! Sensei? Don't throw fish at me, Sensei! That's not nice!”
A brief fish-battle and several bouts of laughter later, they found themselves all sprawled out behind the shrine.
“Now I'm tired,” Teddie announced.
“We can't sleep here,” Naoto said, disbelieving.
“Why not?”
“Uh, because it's cold?” Yosuke suggested.
“Everybody shift in then!”
To Yosuke's surprise, everyone did as Teddie said. It was actually warmer than his room had been that way, largely because they were all overlapping on each other with the way they were sprawled.

“Not like anyone's ever even gonna notice us back here, 'specially with the fog. And Ma knows I go out early all the time. She'll never know I wasn't home.”
No, that was Kanji beside him. That was Teddie draped over his legs.
Yosuke kind of felt like he should object to being a pillow for too many people at once, but he was too comfortable (and warm) to care very much.
Teddie was the first to fall asleep, but it wasn't long before the rest of them followed him into slumber.
In the morning they woke to muffled giggles, clicking and flashing, and three muffled voices.
They'd all forgotten that Chie, Yukiko and Rise could see through the fog, too.
