Scrolling through your phone seemingly endlessly, the amount of costume choices only did more to scramble your brain. How did people pick, when there was more than hundreds? You huffed, strands of hair moving with the breath.
It was already October, and naturally that meant spooky decorations and windy weather. The whole group agreed on a costume party for Halloween, although it'd likely end up as a regular hangout session in dress-up. That didn't dampen your excitement, it'd surely be a fun time! ... But you've been hitting 'next page' for about thirty minutes now.
You let out another sigh, this time prompting a response from Yosuke.
"What did I do?" Was his first question, and you laughed.
"Nothing."
"Why the sighing then? That's at least the third one." He said, closing his manga. He turned to face you, and you lifted your legs off his lap to allow him a better position. Once he did, they returned to their comfortable place.
"You were counting?" You asked, impressed he could split his attention like that.
Yosuke smiled sheepishly. "Well, I assume it was about three times."
When you giggled at his answer, his smile grew. But he instead of staring at your face he got back on track to the topic at hand. "So? What's bothering you so much?"
"It's nothing bad, I just can't decide on this." You responded, and a look of confusion on his face. You turned you phone screen to him. "For the costume party, remember?"
"Oh, that." Yosuke said, propping his arm on the back of the couch.
You gawked at his indifference. "Have you got something already?"
"Nah, not yet. I'll find something though." He replied. You let your head drop.
"Well, at least I'm not alone in this..." You muttered. "You probably won't since you don't have one for yourself, but do you have any costume idea-"
"Nurse."
Not expecting an answer so soon, let alone one at all, you stared at him in surprise. Yosuke seemed to just realise what he said as well, as his face suddenly went red.
"W-Well, uh-" He stammered, trying to explain himself.
"A nurse, huh?" You repeated, and Yosuke put his face in his hands.
"Please... Forgot what you heard." His plead was mumbled out.
You stifled a laugh at his begging. Yosuke didn't like to show his embarrassment most times, so it was nice to see with its rareness. You definitely wouldn't tell him that though, he'd just try act aloof about it.
"... That's not a bad idea." You said after some time, and Yosuke slowly lifted his face from his palms.
"It's not?" He asked, shocked.
"I did need a costume idea." You replied, smiling. "I didn't know you liked them so much."
Yosuke groaned. "Do not tell the others. Especially the other girls!"
You couldn't control your laughter, which didn't give him much confidence. His face still burning, he leaned forward and sighed.
Taking your legs off his lap, and scooted forward and wrapped your arms around his shoulders, swaying slightly. "I won't, I won't! I promise."
For better or worse, he put his trust in you. "... Okay."
He gave in and hugged you back, holding onto your arms. You smiled into his shoulder, noticing his ear was in range.
"You need a costume too, remember." You leaned in. "Are you going to be a doctor? Or maybe my patient?"
"Agh, s-stop that already!" Yosuke complained, face even redder. You just laughed good-naturedly in reply, and he couldn't find it in himself to be mad. After all, it wasn't that he disliked it... He had a feeling though that you in a nurse costume was going to be a blessing and a curse rolled up into one.
