[Yosuke is the master of denial- hell, his shadow outright accused him of it. But even he can't deny that look, that tone. Yosuke sucks in a sharp breath.
'This is your last chance to make a run for it'
Maybe not literally- but he could back up, put some distance. Keep his friendship right in the safe and comfortable. It's what he had done with Yu, after all. But to be fair, his best friend was so subtle in everything he did that Yosuke was never sure. But... he's pretty sure, right now. And losing the long held terror- a month of trauma does a lot in making you reevaluate your life.
He didn't want what happened with Saki to happen again- he knows now she never really cared for him, but he would never stop regretting never saying something. He's not that bold yet, but... even if he just admits something to himself that's enough for now.
His fingers stop drumming, and he just... kinda tilts the back of his hand against Black's clutching fingers]
Well, then I guess I'll be here as long as you want, okay?
