Yu's POV:

I run into Yosuke on my way back to the cart. I bite my tounge, barely looking at him.

"So?" He says.

"Yosuke," I sigh. "Listen, partner... I am so sorry..."

"I deleted it."

"What?"

"I got the phone and I deleted the picture, the video, and all your chats with her."

I struggle to find the right words. "How the hell did you-?"

"See?" He smirks. "You do need me. Without me, we'd be in shit right about now."

"Geez, Yosuke," I sigh with relief. "I'm so glad you went behind my back."

"Yeah, well, sometimes people need help, even when they don't ask for it."

"I'm glad you know me that well." I squeeze my eyes shut with a smile.

"So," he grins. "Don't I deserve a reward?" His smile widens as he shuffles closer to me. He puckers up, and I look left and right, before pushing him back. "What's wrong?" He frowns.

"Not now, okay?" I mumble.

"There's nobody around," he shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter," I groan. "We still have to be careful."

"For how long?"

"I've already told you – until everything is cleared up."

"You can't blame me for being so impatient," he scoffs.

"I know," I nod. "And I'm not. Let's just go back for the others."

Yosuke's POV:

"You seriously did that, Senpai?" Kanji grins in disbelief across the table from me.

I nod, trying not to make a big deal out of it.

"All on your own?" Yukiko adds.

"Really?" Teddie pulls a face.

"Hey! Cut me some slack, here," I scoff.

"He's right." Yu, beside me, swings a long arm around my shoulder. "He fixed it all on his own. He did great."

"Yeah," I shrug, pushing his arm away in fear of doing something stupid.

"Saved the day, huh, Yosuke?" Chie chuckles.

"I guess."

"Wait, what happened to her phone?" Rise asks.

"Uh..."

"Well, this doesn't sound good," Kanji muffles a laugh.

"Yosuke," Naoto echos. "What happened to her phone?"

"Just left it," I shrug, looking away.

"What do you mean, left it?" Rise says. "As in, you left it laying on the floor??"

"No, geez," I groan. "Left it on one of the booths."

"Coulda fooled me," Kanji chuckles.

"My first choice was to let someone walk over it," I shrug. "But that was too easy."

"Don't you think you're giving this girl a hard time?" Chie frowns.

"What do you mean, hard time?" Yu frowns, looking over to her.

"I mean, what did she do that pissed you guys off so bad? Recorded you picking your own boogers?"

"It's more serious than that," I scoff.
