[Ruri stops and sits down on the bench peering at Yosuke]

"...Yosuke?"

[princeofjunes]

She'd never let me live it down, crying over this.

[He does give Ruri a squeeze, still not willing to let her go. They've already zombified one person important to him, he refuses to let them make it two]

[hontobakabaka]

"Who would tell her?"

[She's not letting him go or pushing away, she seems to have no problem with the hug]

[princeofjunes]

[Stupid Ruri and her stupid hugs and her stupid understanding.

And with that, Yosuke buries his stupid face into her shoulder and lets himself cry.]

[hontobakabaka]

[She pats his head a bit and sighs]

"Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help Yosuke."

[princeofjunes]

[After a few minutes he's cried himself out. His sobs turn into deep breaths, and he un-buries his head from her shoulder]

... you're already helping so much. How much more could I ask for?

[hontobakabaka]

"We're friends right. Friends help each other out."

[She nods a little, still patting his back]

[princeofjunes]

[Despite everything, he manages a weak laugh]

Of course we're friends. I don't spend the night with girls I don't like, you know.

[hontobakabaka]

[She nods]

"There you go then. I'm sure your other friends will help too, and will need help for this."

[princeofjunes]

[He finally manages a genuine smile and gently kisses her forehead]

Yeah, you're right. We'll get over this, it'll be alright sooner or later.

[hontobakabaka]

[She nods and smiles slightly]

"Yes. Maybe your other friends have insight into this I don't have as well."

[princeofjunes]

Maybe. I know it won't hurt to talk to them.

Still... thank you. For everything.

[hontobakabaka]

[She smiles again and shakes her head]

"You'd do the same for me. Right?"

[princeofjunes]

[He smiles right back]

Of course I would. You can count on me, Ruri.

[hontobakabaka]

[She nods]

"I'm glad then. Cause if this didn't work I would have had to go with plan B."

[princeofjunes]

[Well now you've got him curious]

And what was plan B?
