This time, when he leans in, the kiss is longer and more lingering. One of his hands even slips up to cup the side of Yosuke's face, to get a better angle for the slide of their lips in the rain.
He's clearly reluctant when he pulls away, and his misgivings are in his smile. ]
I should go.
[ It's still raining heavily, but not sheeting like it was a few minutes ago. He'll be able to navigate through it, at the very least, and he can't afford to stay much longer. ]
You sure you'll be okay to get back upstream?
[ The Samegawa is flooded right now, wild and swelled with storm water. He has faith in Yosuke, he does, but ...
... he's allowed to be concerned about someone he has feelings for, right? ]
It's just too bad that it's now, of all times. When Yu says that he should go, it's like Yosuke finally begins to notice the rain again. He knows it's right, though. Yu should go. Yosuke can withstand this weather.
Yosuke nods. ]
I'll have to wait until morning, probably, but I'll be fine.
[ There's an encouraging wave of his tail behind him. ]
[ Yu frowns softly at that, like he might say something, but after a moment, he reconsiders. There's nothing he can do for Yosuke, not except maybe come back with a wet blanket or food or-- something, and he knows Yosuke would wave him off. He's the far more at risk of the two of them and they both know it. ]
Yeah. I will. Just take care of yourself, too. I'll come back as soon as I can to check in.
[ He finds one of Yosuke's hands and squeezes, then finally completely extricates himself from the other boy's arms and pushes to his feet. Huffing a breath that blows drops of water away from his face, he lifts a hand in parting and then trudges off up the bank.
... getting back inside the house tonight is going to be complicated ... ]

Just be careful...okay?
faints gracefully in your strong arms
