[Yu looks surprised to see Yosuke bothering with coming to his room. Even worse, it's just as he's busy attempting to put on a shirt, cause they are getting way too tight. Maybe he's putting on weight? It has to be related to whatever he's undergoing. He moves closer and sits down close by where the device is, shrugging with a smile.]

Well, maybe not that song. [But he waits until they get to some of the parts and tries to sing along anyway. Yosuke is right; he doesn't hit the notes quite like someone would with reverb, but he's making a commendable effort.]

[Yosuke couldn't help but laugh that Yu was actually trying to sing the same notes as the singer with autotune on. Still, it was commendable and honestly? Yu didn't sound half bad.]

You can just sing it normal instead of trying to match it, partner. But you got a nice voice, y'know?

[Attempts were made, for better or worse. Still, it helps him relax. Compliments were pretty nice too.]

What's the fun in that? And...thank you. I used to sing a lot as a child.

[You do a lot of things when you're home alone and bored.]

Maybe we can try a different song after this. Your choice.

[It was here Yosuke realized that while Yu was singing, his shirt seemed awfully tight on him. He knew Yu had been in the middle of struggling to put it on when he walked in, but sort of ignored it in favor on seeing his friend being his usual dorky self.

He busied himself with picking another song rather than focusing on the way the shirt was riding a bit. ]

U-uh... here. This one might suit you better.

[He pressed play.]

Yosuke

U-uh... here. This one might suit you better.

What will you do?

> Sing softly to the song and try not to move too much.
> Move your head to the beat.
> Sing your heart out and hope that nothing breaks

>...
> You have enough Courage to pick this answer!

[Powered by a love of the song despite probably mutilating the words, Yu tries his best to keep up until they get to the chorus. As the singer goes up in pitch and sound, so does Yu too, taking a deep breath to match when....the extra air in his lungs seem to undo some seems of the shirt just as he lets out a few notes and a large whoosh of wind causes the nearby curtains to move upwards.

Even if the music goes on, Yu has suddenly stopped, half in fright half paralyzed with part of his shirt torn off in the back and realizing he'll be unable to remove it without breaking it now.]

Oh no...Oh no...

[Well, he was trying even if he didn’t know all the words. And color him surprised, he really did have a nice voice! Of course, nothing prepared him for the burst of wind that he was no longer immune to. It drowned out the sound of the ripped shirt but that didn’t mean when Yosuke looked up finally that he didn’t see it.

He saw it, which took any flustered outburst from him because instead he snorted. And started laughing.]

Did you seriously do what I think you did?

[Honestly, it was the horrified look on Yu’s face that had him laughing harder. He would be mad because he’s the one who bought their clothes, but he couldn’t right now. He quickly walked behind Yu to take a look.]

You just bought it a few days ago too...

[See at least Yosuke is laughing but Yu looks like a puppy that's just been caught being somewhere he shouldn't be. They both aren't making all that much money currently and Yu hates that a large chunk of it is so he doesn't walk around naked.]

This must be how parents feel like when they buy their children's clothes and they just grow out of them after a short while.

[Or in Yu's case, a few days.]

Maybe I'm getting fatter...sorry partner.

[Then almost as an afterthought because yes the guilt was eating him up;]

I'm not sure what happened with that wind...

[If he hadn't, Yu would really walk around naked and that was just not a sight Yosuke was really ever prepared for. They'd been to the hot springs and showered at the gym and whatever, that's fine. But all the time? Nope. So he made it a point to find clothes for Yu, but it had been getting a bit tough since it seemed like everyday he was growing.]

Partner, calm down, parents expect that sort of thing anyway. You're in a bit of a unique situation that just a growing kid.

[He pulled the shirt to see that yep, it was ripped right down the middle in the back. It was totally a goner. He sighed softly and then gave another snort, not quite laughing this time.]

You're not getting fat. You got a lot of muscle from what I see which is weird, I know you haven't been going to the gym. There isn't one.

Hm... do monsters get powers too?

[Yosuke could be at least rest assured that Yu would have the decency of having one loincloth at the very minimum if he can help it. He does smile at his friend's comment.]

Ha ha...so now you're the one telling me to calm down. [He's amused, so that's a good sign.] You're right. I don't think kids grow this fast.

[Or like a body builder. Idly he moves his arms and the muscles on his back tighten; it's' true, there's barley any fat on him, although it does look like there are small bumps forming on his back; a sign that the muscle mass is building towards something like a pair of wings.]

Maybe I should start one. You know, in case Akihiko-san shows up.

[And he'd probably want to fight Yu looking like this now that he thinks about it.]

I think some monsters do. Maybe I'm not a Chimera after all? I'd have to ask around.

Don't make it sound like I freak out all the time, partner.

[He rolled his eyes, sounding rather put out at that. Besides, he was getting worried and freaking out really wouldn't help matters. It'd been a few weeks now and he was getting more accepting of the situation but... well, Yu's weird changes were kind of always not helping.]

The dude fights bears, he doesn't need a gym.

[He noticed those bumps and he had to refrain from touching them but they were pretty worrying it. What were they?]

Aren't chimeras just more than one monster though? Doesn't sound like that'd mean you wouldn't get any powers. You're taking jack of all trades to a new level, partner. [Sigh, his mirth was settling now as they continued on with the conversation.] Should probably go shopping again for clothes. Is it just shirts this time or are the pants still fitting well?

I know, it's just funny hearing it instead of saying it myself.

[Aww Yosuke...]

True...do you think fighting Teddie during the tournament counts? Or maybe fighting his shadow did...

[Yu, please. Don't worry Yosuke, nothing to worry about since they didn't seem to bother Yu at all. Or maybe he didn't know they were there yet.]

Well I don't see why they couldn't have some magic powers too. Otherwise how do you explain this? [This time he was a little more careful with his blowing but it is a lot more wind than should be coming out of his mouth.] Does that make me a Wildcard here too?

[Yu would try to find the better look on life with this.] Maybe we should take inspiration from Akihiko-san and get a cloak. I think the pants are fine.

[He moves his legs to see.]

[And the sound of a rip on his back from the effort is the reward for moving too much.]

Okay, I guess not. Dammit...

[He rolled his eyes skyward and had to resist a facepalm, instead sighing heavily and resting his cheek in his hand once he heard that rip. Forget about Teddie and bears and wildcards, Yosuke definitely had to go shopping again.]

I feel like I should just get you a really big nightgown at this rate. You'd look like a ghost but at least you wouldn't rip it right away.

[And probably look really stupid but Yosuke really wasn't sure what else to do. They hadn't been here long enough to really have a lot of funds yet.]

I'll ask around for advice. I think maybe some large blankets for now. There has to be a chimera clothing store?

[...]

I'm sorry partner. Is there any magic that can make things grow?

[The nightgown comment...]

Well I was partly a wolf in the dream. Are you sure that's a good idea? I could end up looking like a grandma.

Edited 2020-04-30 04:37 (UTC)

People don't seem to like chimeras though, why would there be a store?

[Which sucked to say because that was the other part that was bothering Yosuke about all this. There were monsters that were big though so he had been able to get away with not naming Yu a chimera for now but...

He snorted.]

What? Am I Little Red Riding Hood now? [He put on a falsetto and held his hands together by his face.] Oh my, what big teeth you have! Pfft, and here I thought you enjoyed wearing dresses!

[Look, you had way too much fun at the pageant.]

I'll ask about the magic, though. Do you really wanna run around in just blankets?

We aren't the first here. Maybe someone with entrepreneurship decided to. Or maybe a clothes maker knowing they could make good money. Worth a try finding out, right?

[He did have a lot of fun. Almost thought it was a new talent, to be honest. He can't help but laugh as well.]

Well I'll do it if you do it.

[That's not how it works, but he'll poke fun at it too.]

Maybe not blankets...something like a loincloth? Or a kilt, maybe. Or actually maybe we can find something that's like a kimono that's loose enough I could grow in it.

[For all of a few days.]

That's a good point... how about I just get you a robe for now then? They gotta have one of those in a big size that you can use until you got something functional for outside.

[Not the most ideal, but it was better than nothing he figured.]

Like a bathrobe or a robe robe? [But Yosuke was the wizard...] Yeah they probably do. I'll take it over having to walk around with nothing on.

I should ask around regardless. Maybe someone has tips for me that could save us money.
