Trash Squad Day 2: Yusuke Date

[truthstranger]

[This is actually a pretty lucky date assignment, overall, since Shuichi is pretty comfortable around Yusuke and the greenhouse is really a pretty good date location. Relatively. Shuichi has also brought along some rice balls and tea.

He still looks a bit nervous, though.]

Well... it looks like its just the two of us. What should we do?

[truthstranger]

Y-Yes, well. It's not like I really know how it happened either...!

[artisticliberty]

I am afraid I do not have any answers for you, as I suspect you know him much better than I do. I would have been quite fed up by such childish behavior.

[truthstranger]

You think it's childish...?

[artisticliberty]

Perhaps 'childish' is not the correct word. But jealousy... it may be a natural feeling, but choosing to be insecure and fearful just seems so foolish. He is a detective--surely he has already figured out that there is nothing you can do to completely reassure him. The burden is his own.

[truthstranger]

If anything, he's making it too much his own burden. I don't think he knows how to deal with it.

[artisticliberty]

What would you do, if you were in his situation?

[truthstranger]

...I'm not sure. It's hard to imagine.

[artisticliberty]

Yes, it is. Even I am having difficulty imagining it.

[truthstranger]

Mm. But... I’ll try to work things out. He’s important to me, so... his feelings are important to me. And I want to help.

[artisticliberty]

I doubt I can offer you anything of aid, but if you think of something, do not hesitate to ask.

[truthstranger]

Thank you, I will. And... you too, of course.
