Who:Maya and Yosuke
When:Uh...this afternoon? Before sirens sometime at any rate.
Where:Maya's place and then around.
Summary:Yosuke is needy and underfoot, and Maya is a bro. So she takes him out and tries to fatten him up.
Warnings:Probably not much. Language is possible, or a few vague memories of violence. But this is all fluff and dorkiness. Bad flirting is probably about the worst of it.

Bam! Bam, bam, bam! Yosuke isn't too gentle with the door at Maya's place, but it's unintentional. He's just distracted, and a little bit on edge from recent events. He doesn't even know if Maya is home...he probably should have called first. Scratch that, he definitely should have called her first. He bites his lip and draws his hand back, wondering if he should just leave before someone opens the door and asks where the fire is. No. No, she'd said he could drop by anytime, right? This is a time. He's just dropping by. She won't mind. He nods to himself, probably a little dorkily. Yeah. This is fine. It'll be fine.

"Coming!" Luckily Maya's close to the door (rather than Jake or Diego, who might ask what a boy was doing here to see her). She's a little weirded out by how rough whoever it is is being with the door, but she's bouncing over to answer whoever it is. Without even checking, she opens the door.

"... Yosuke?"

"Hi, Maya-san."

Yosuke still has his fist raised for a moment. He somehow looks even sillier than usual, wearing a pair of long, striped arm warmers, and without a winter coat.

"Uh...what's up?"

"Hey, Yosuke! What did I tell you about my name?"

Maya clasps her hands together and bows her head in greeting as usual. Man, what's with the arm warmers.... and the lack of coat? (Not that she can talk)

"I was just watching TV! What's up with you? What was all that banging about?"

"Oh, yeah." He offers her a sheepish, apologetic grin. He probably shouldn't have been so hard on the door. He was just sort of...lost in thought.

"To tell you the truth...hey, listen. Are you busy? I mean. It's just that-uh."

He shivers a little, wrapping his arms and their silly warmers around himself. He won't be impressing you any time soon, Maya. Forget about muscles, the only definition you can see through his shirt are his ribs.

"I was hoping it was okay if I-um. You know, I mean, you said 'drop by anytime' and uh...is this alright?"

It was pretty obvious there was something wrong, (although he always acted a little weird), so Maya makes sure to be extra perky.

"Of course! There wasn't anything good on anyway, so you came at a good time." She tilted her head at the continued shivering and.... man, those arm-warmers. "You wanna come in?"

"Great!"

Yosuke eagerly steps in and kicks off his shoes. He would be pretty embarrassed if he knew how easy it is for Maya to tell he's upset, but luckily he's blissfully unaware of it. And if stepping inside doesn't immediately stop the shivering, it at least eliminates the windchill!

"Need me to get anything off the top shelf for you, while I'm here?"

That's definitely a step up. Maya considers his offer intently for a moment. "Maybe later. We should decide what we're doing first."

And then a pause. "You wanted to hang out, right?"

"If it isn't intruding." Yosuke answers, mostly politely, but not quite making the effort to phrase it properly. Maya-san is so casual anyway, she won't mind, right?

Then he thinks of a caveat, and adds: "Anything is fine, as long as I don't have to wash the dishes."

"Don't be silly, Yosuke. I could use a second pair of eyes for this awesome movie anyway! Unless you wanted to do something else?" Nope, she doesn't mind.

She does, however, have to tease him just a little bit. "Ahaha... Maybe if you give me trouble."

"A movie sounds great." The shivering is starting to ease up a little, finally. Progress! He doesn't remember to smile at first, at the joke. It takes a few minutes, like when you turn on something electronic and it takes a moment to boot up. Slowly, as if by command, the smile appears.

"I'll try to behave in that case. I'm really sick of scrubbing plates. And the glasses keep breaking." He holds up a hand for proof, then realizes the bandages he's trying to show her are under his stupid armwarmers, and quickly puts it behind his back, looped with the other one tightly. He throws what he hops is a casual shrug at that.

"So, what are we watching?"

That's progress. And so Maya leads him over, glancing his way when he holds up his hand. She blinks momentarily before jumping to the worst conclusion: ".. Woah! Are those actually bandages? How cool!" Okay, maybe they weren't so weird anymore. "I should get one of those the next time my hand gets cut up!"

And completely distracted from the task at hand. Well, most of it. "A samurai movie, duh! It's got Tim Boat in or something, so I heard."

The smile he's been attempting freezes on his face for that, but at least it's stuck on instead of stuck off.

The samaurai movie, on the other hand, is familiar territory. This will be kind of like hanging out with Chie. Not that he knows who this Tim Boat guy is, but whatever. It's a movie, it can't be that difficult to follow.

"Great. Lead the way."
