[youraffection]

[ Oh shit. He means for real. ]

[youraffection]

30 mins

[browbeater]

ok, 30 min.

probably better for me, too. see you out there

text -> action

[youraffection]

yea c u soon

[ WELL. He sure did that thing. That thing that he didn't mean to do which shit, now he has to actually put real clothes on or just sweatpants...or, you know, not the same clothes he slept in and has been loafing around the apartment in.

He has to tell Yu that he's heading out for a bit. Yes, he's gonna hang out with someone. Yes, he is leaving dressed like that. No, it's not going to be fun...

But he's true to his word, at the very least. In reality the twins' apartment is really about 20 minutes away, but the extra ten minutes definitely accounts for the time he needs to run around and get ready. But sure enough, Yosuke wanders up to the park looking like he's ready to actually do something gross like exercise. ]

What am I doing...

[ Okay, he's being dramatic. Yosuke actually got scouted for track team but didn't want the social obligations of being a jock. (Yes, that is literally what he thought.) ]

[browbeater]

[yosuke.... love yourself.

Mako is there about 15 minutes later, though he looks like he's ready to run. He's got an old recolle u hoodie on and loose shorts, so at least yoosk is saved from having to deal with his muscles.][this former soccer star is ready..........

but he's also looking to see if Yosuke actually does look rested. Or if that we was more distracting than he let on]

[youraffection]

[ Yes, don't rub it in his face, Mako. His masculinity and not his latent bisexual tendencies can't take it. A guy can only deal with so much upheaval in his daily routine and the past month has put Yosuke way over his lifetime limit.

But, you know...Yosuke did get some sleep! Like, actual sleep. So yes he's a little cagey but he's also not a liar. Mostly. ]

H-Hey!

[ Look, see? Friendly! ]

[browbeater]

[HE WON'T!]

Hey! Sorry I'm late.

[he jogs up to him at last.]

Didn't think you'd be ready to work out that quickly after everything.

Been awhile, I'm probably a little rusty.

[he's also going to stretch a little bit because of said rust, honestly]

[youraffection]

It's cool, man. Don't worry about it!

[ It's given him time to mentally calm himself down. A little? Mostly.

Maybe running will do him some good too. ]

W-Well, like I said, I was ready!

[ Super convincing, right? He'll...stretch a little too, just so he can blend in. ]

Really? That's surprising. I thought you were all about the fitness.

[browbeater]

Well, I'm a cop. I have to be.

But nah, I usually prefer boxing. It's good enough to hit everything.

Anyway, since you sound ready, why don't you lead?

[He'll either regret this, or it'll be fine. those two.]

[youraffection]

Heh heh, figures...

[ Mr. Buffguy. Siiiigh. Yosuke realizes he probably shouldn't be jealous because, you know, it's not like he works out regularly or anything. ]

You sure about that? I'm pretty fast, you know.
