You're really bad at changing the subject, partner. And, anyways, you didn't guess the right person. I'd even ask them out myself if I didn't think they'd say no.
If you aren't there when I get there, I'm going to your house. You don't want to wake up your parents and Teddie.
[ So don't run away just because you decided to second guess yourself. Souji believes in hope - there was a reason Izanami chose him, in the end - and he believes in his friends.
But he knows Yosuke is prone to panic. So he's making sure he knows. ]
[ he doesn't answer, but only because he's a damn fool who forgets his phone and his wallet and pretty much everything that isn't the bicycle he grabs to get his ass over to the samegawa flood plain as fast as his legs can take him. after a year spent fighting off shadows, he's in pretty great shape -- but he's still out of breath by the time he makes it there, pedaling until his thighs are screaming in protest and his cheeks are flushed crimson with exertion.
the bike gets dumped carelessly the minute he arrives, and he nearly trips over it in his haste to stumble forward. distantly, he's aware that this doesn't look cool (not at all), but that's trumped by this wild fear that he'll... miss it, whatever strange magic is at work, here. ]
[ Rather than waiting for a response, Souji opts to head out. It's easy enough to sneak out of the Dojima household this late at night, both fortunately and unfortunately - his uncle sleeps on, snoring in his room with enough volume that he can muffle the creak on the staircase that would get anyone else - so he trudges out into the cold night air with very little concern for Nanako discovering he's gone. He'll be back before anyone notices.
Living closer to the floodplain has its benefits. The past year does, too, considering he's fit enough to not be completely out of breath by the time he gets there, though his lungs burn from running in the cold. It's easy for him to ignore, given the moment that's happening now.
And he breathes in a huge inhale, chest expanding as if it'll eliminate all of the space where something rattles around in his ribs, before he puffs it out heavily the same moment he hears a clatter of that familiar scrapheap bike. ]
You're gonna kill yourself one of these days on that thing, partner. [ Souji turns, hands shoved into his pockets, eyebrows raised enough that they disappear into the fringe of his grey hair. Considering he woke up when Yosuke texted him, he's sleep-worn and ruffled, nevermind the run to the Samegawa. ]
