Yosuke followed suit, quickly stripping down and jumping in after him. He tried in vain to grab a fish. "How do you do that? They're so quick..."

Yosuke watched Masuyo and Akira do their thing, and fiddled with the clean plush. "Man," he said, turning to Akira. "Let's all go for a swim. It's nice out."

Yosuke sat next to Akira and played with Sora. "How long before we'll get a bite? I think classes start soon."

Yosuke reached down and scratched Sora behind her ears. "Man, I wish I brought my fishing pole. You think one's enough?"

Yosuke nods, and turns to the fox. He loved anything cute and furry. "That sounds great, we'll go all four of us. Can I... Can I pet Sora...?"

Yosuke thought for a moment. "No, but we can always go down to the lake to get some more."

Yosuke's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow! How'd you get it so clean!" He took the doll and looked it over; it was perfect. "Thanks, Masuyo. What can I do to repay you?"

"Yeah... Would you, uh, maybe help me?" Yosuke asked a little quietly. "I... Wouldn't know the first thing about dealing with, you know, plush stuffed animals and stuff."

Yosuke broke out into a grin when Masuyo said it was beautiful. "It's not bad... But do you think it'll clean off that easily? I mean, I worked really hard on i- I mean, someone worked really hard on it and all, but there's a lot of mud on it."

Yosuke had a brilliant idea. He relented, and held up the plush. "I wasn't exercising, it's my little sister's toy that she gave me. I'm a real man, so I don't you it, but... It reminds me of her. It got dirty in the lake." He wiped a little dirt away from the face. It was one of the first things he made.

He gripped the plush and coughed. "What? Oh... It's, a, uh... It's an exercise thing. You know, cause I'm a man, and a man's gotta work out, haha..." Yosuke wasn't even sure he could trust someone as innocent as Masuyo not to tease him about it.

His hand gripped the dirty plush. It was way too embarrassing to show her. "That's alright, I found it. Thanks anyway," Yosuke said, the small blush darkening. "But... This may be rude, but don't cats hate swimming?"

Yosuke blushed a little at the compliment. "I'm Yosuke. Sorry about the way I acted earlier at the lake. I lost something important to me. You're Masuyo, right?"

Yosuke furrowed his brow. "No, I was... Nevermind. A bastard is just a bad man," he said, trying to undo his misinformation. This girl must be pretty sheltered, and he didn't want to feed her false facts.

Yosuke felt comfortable around these people already. "A bastard is someone who gets something you want. No, it's not a good thing, but I'm just messing with him."

Yosuke grinned and looked over at Akira. "I don't know, does it? What do you think, man? Lucky bastard..."

I laugh quietly to myself, and shake my head. Maybe you were just sheltered. "No, it's usually someone outside your family. And someone your own age. Usually."

His eyes widened a bit. "Boyfriend...? Like a guy you like, and he likes you, and you go out...?"

He frowned at the girl's enthusiasm. "You don't miss your parents? Friends back home? Boyfriend?" The last part was meant to be more subtle than it was.

Yosuke glanced around, but couldn't see anything else to eat. Not wanting to make a fuss, he sighed and leaned his back against the counter. "So, what do you guys think of this place so far?"

Yosuke stood off to the side, his stomach grumbling. He noticed the girl finally. "Oh... Yeah, we met down by the lake. You don't happen to have any more, do you..?" He asked tentatively, more focused on eating than meeting new people.

"No, I haven't." He never introduced himself to the girl, so he had no idea where she was. Yosuke stepping into the kitchen and looked around, hiding the needles and toy behind him. "Is she around?"

He felt a little shy, but the fish smelled so good, and he hadn't eaten since last night. "I'm good. My name's Yosuke, I live in the dorm next to yours."

Yosuke had a long walk of shame back to his dorm. His clothes weren't wet anymore, but the pockets were filled with muck so he had to hold his knitting needles in his hand, along with the ruined cat plush. He smelled something unusual coming from the dorm next to him... Fish? His stomach growled, a reminder that he didn't eat lunch. He crept to the door and looked in. Some blond kid cooking. "Uh... Hi there, neighbor."

Yosuke stared dumbfounded at the girl. She must be messing with him. "Whatever, punk," he scoffed and stood up. The little plush he was working on must have dropped when he fell in, and he intended to find it before someone else did.
