Teddie had become a little bit clingy after leaving the TV World. When Yosuke had taken him home - insisting he just needed a place to stay for a few nights, tops - Akari and Haruki had gotten so damn attached.
And Yosuke had gotten a bit attached too. Sue him!
Yosuke had long-since accepted that he was stuck with this dumb bear, probably for the rest of his life. Akari was already talking about enrolling Teddie in Yasogami, and Haruki was planning to take Teddie fishing. He’d never taken Yosuke fishing! Not that Yosuke liked fishing, but still…
Teddie looked over at Yosuke. They were both watching TV, and Teddie had - of course - chosen the seat closest to Yosuke. “Yosuke?”
“Hmm…?”
“How much longer am I allowed to stay?”
“Forever,” Yosuke said firmly. “I’m not letting you leave, Ted. Mom and Dad would be so pissed. They really love you, you know?”
“Well… I wouldn’t want to make Mrs. Mom and Mr. Dad upset,” Teddie said, cuddling up to Yosuke’s side. “So, I’ll stay.”
Was this how cat owners felt when the stray they started feeding on a whim decided it was their cat now?
Or bear.
Or brother.
Or whatever.
