Shadows are Persona too Xx One Shot xX

Shadows are Persona too.

Curse Yosuke's hyperactive mind. Curse General Teddie. "Persona back into Shadows... huh?" He whispered to himself. Just the thought made him panic. What if it happened to him and he froze, just like he did then, in the incident with Labrys?

He has nightmares. Malevolent dreams where his shadow returns, for real, and he's sat there shaking. Kanji and Teddie would never let him live down that humiliation.

He stared at his ceiling, lost in thought, his phone began to ring and, without averting his gaze, he brought the phone screen to his peripheral view.

It was a number he vaguely recognised, despite the unfamiliarity, he picked up the phone. "Hello?" He asked into the receiver, the phone returned a familiar voice and a greeting."Yosuke, how are ya?"

"Labrys? I'm good, what's going on?" He asks, hoping he's hidden all evidence of his previous thoughts in his voice. "What's with the call?"

"How I'm doin' can wait 'till later." Her voice was panicked. "Look, long story short, you been able to use ya Persona recently?" Her voice threw Yosuke off as well.

"My persona? It's been a while but I should still be able to get it to show up, why?" Yosuke repeated.

"The Shadow Operatives were sent a letter, unda your name. We knew ya weren't like that so we thought dat maybe it's ya shadow?"

Yosuke could hear the uncertainty in her voice. Yosuke hummed, "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I can check and let you know though," Labrys sighed at the boy's response and hung up.

They agreed that they would call each other again once Yosuke left the TV. Yosuke donned his school uniform and made his way to the Junes Electric Department, hiding from his dad and Teddie. Taking a deep breath he hopped onto the TV.

ONE WEEK LATER.

Yu smiled as he saw Labrys's contact appear on his phone, he looked to Dojima who gave a slight nod and the silver haired male stood up from the table and stood to the side.

"Hey, Labrys." He greeted with a smile. "Yu-kun!" Her voice was panicked. "There's no time to explain! But Yosuke's been missin' for a week!"

Yu's eyes widened in shock. "What?! What happened to him?!" He raised his voice. Catching his uncle's and cousin's attention.

"I asked him if his persona'd been workin' recently and he said he'd find out. I ain't heard from him since." Labrys' voice began to shake and waver, a voice in the background, who Yu assumed to be Aegis, helped her calm down.

"The TV.... The Midnight Channel." Yu cursed himself but he proposed the idea for waiting for the midnight channel and see if Yosuke was in any danger, Labrys sighed but agreed.

"It's raining," Dojima sighed, he had insisted that he join Yu in watching the midnight channel. Dojima closed the curtain in Yu's room, Nanako lay asleep against his arm due to the late hour.

"3... 2... 1..." Yu began the countdown and once he silently hit zero the room filled with a green glow. Much to Yu's disappointment, a familiar brunet was on the screen. The picture was as clear as day.

'So he is in the TV,' Yu thought to himself. The TV program on for Yosuke was similar to a drama. The golden eyes looked to the screen. "Come find me.... Partner." The Shadow Yosuke spat the nickname they gave each other.
