Creepy.

There was really no other word for it. This situation was just really. Fucking. Creepy. Okay, given that when Yosuke had first walked through the door with a 360 on his personality? Gin had been feeling pretty good about it. Maybe Yosuke was sick again, maybe he was melancholy, who knew? All that mattered was that it meant the shift was bound to run more smoothly, at least for the first hour or two until he started perking up.

But then two hours became three, three to four... even after his break he didn't cheer up. It was like working with a fucking possessed ghoul. So... creepy.

Still, priorities. Gin couldn't be concerned about his nearly lifeless co-worker until nearly at the end of their shifts because it was unusually busy that night. So when Gin finally did approach him (casually, arms folded on the counter and with an easy smirk on his lips) it was almost closing time.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Yosuke absently patted himself down when Gin spoke, like he was looking for his wallet or a lighter or something. Then it occured to him that thoughts weren't the sort of thing that could be handed over like a wine key, used, and returned. He glanced back up and shook his head a bit apologetically. Sorry, pal, I put the change in the tip jar.

"Huh? Oh. Um." Confused, his eyes wandered back to the last few customers in the bar. They seemed to be doing just fine, though. What did Gin want, again? Thought? Crap. He'd been trying not to think all night. "That black hole thing is a new one, huh?"

Whoa.

There was a new one. With a raised eyebrow, he wondered if he'd actually have to explain the metaphor to what was apparently a zombie Yosuke before he actually tried to put a penny somewhere. (And where the hell would you get a penny on this ship anyway?)

Thankfully, Yosuke answered before it got that bad and Gin was spared the effort of having to dig/reject some change. Win-win.

"That's what you're worried about?" He asked, resting his elbow on the counter and placing his chin on top of his hand.

"Worried?" Yosuke echoed, still mostly absently. He realized, then, that what he'd considered casual conversation was, in fact, the sort of thing that would worry most people. Impending doom and all that crap, yeah, okay. That was pretty serious, probably. He pasted the smile back on and nodded. Yeah, sure, who wouldn't be worried about getting sucked into a big empty hole in the universe?

"Oh, yeah. It's probably that." Yosuke shrugged casually and went back to cleaning the wine lists for a second, only remembering to wrench the smile off of his face a few minutes later. Ow. His jaw was starting to hurt from that. But since he had Gin's attention at the moment, he might as well take advantage of it to run something by him before he made it official.

"Uh, say. I've been here for a while, right? A year and a half, not counting wormholes and that day I was sick." He polished another wine list expertly and set it to the side, remembering to paste the smile back on and try to look sincere. "That's probably long enough, right?"
