[ He's not at all sure what to expect from Yu's home or Yu's uncle. He's met his friends through some...extenuating circumstances, but they were all nice. Yu is nice. So his uncle has to be nice too, right? ]
You think so? [ Yosuke fidgets, but he's now brimming with the possibilities. Staying with Yu...getting to sleep next to Yu? He can spend as much time with Yu as humanly possible. He does remember what Yu has told him about his extended family. There's a little girl there too, right? ] Doesn't your cousin al--
[ Yosuke suddenly stops, choking on his words mid-sentence. His scales have been itching, yes, but now there is an unyielding heat running along his tail. He hisses, gritting his teeth as he looks down. It almost feels like the scales themselves are peeling like a scab--uncomfortable, tinging with pain, but not unbearable. It's not a magical ball of light like he might have hoped, but his scales slowly begin to smooth out, the shimmering orange and gold giving away to something a little tanned, a little pinker in places. ]
(Well, to be fair, he is perfectly nice. Just a little Intense, and also Constantly Stressed Out.
Yu's about to answer that question when Yosuke shuts up. Yosuke shutting up, especially that abruptly, is not a common occurrence, so Yu stays his tongue and watches with some concern. When it becomes apparent what's happening, Yu pulls in a breath of amazement.
And then something occurs to him.
... Yosuke hasn't seem to have really any sense of modesty, so .. should he .. ?
For now, he stays where he is, keeping a hand still on Yosuke's back as a warm comfort as he goes through this transformation. ]
[ He really isn't sure what to expect. His mother hadn't really given him details when she pressed her nose to his tail. He just knew it would work because she's his mother, she's the Samegawa, it's in her power to do so. The fact that these sorts of transformations are even rarer than bestowing the gift to humans to breathe underwater had entered his mind, but there wasn't really any time to think it over. "Yes" or "no". The answer was obvious.
Still, it's...awkward.
And uncomfortable.
Yu's presence is welcome, calming as one would expect. Yosuke's fingers dig into the sand and dirt as his once long fins begin to shrink, pulling towards his body and curling into themselves like a butterfly going back into its cocoon. The finds on the side of his face do the same, making him twitch and shiver with the sensation. ]
Shit--
[ But where there were fins are the ears that they have always been hiding, framed by tuffs of hair. He opens his eyes blearily just in time to the see the last of his scales disappear and his fins split into fives, forming something new at the end of his feet.
Oh shit, he has feet!
Yosuke's eyes widen as what used to be one long tail finally finishes splitting in two, ending--yep, you guessed it--in the crack of his new ass. That certainly is a thing.
And Yu is correct, Yosuke is pretty much always naked. How is this any different? ]
...Whoa! It--
[ Excuse him as he kind of awkwardly...flops--yeah, sitting up isn't how he thought it would be. In fact he basically faceplants into the dirt, recovers quickly, and tries again. ]
[ Yu stays calm and steady beside him, because that's what Yosuke needs, but it's really something to watch this transformation. It seems like it might be painful, though Yosuke doesn't... seem too bothered... more like surprised. And excited.
He finally removes his hand when Yosuke starts quite literally flopping around. It's more out of surprise, but also because he isn't sure what Yosuke wants.
Seeing Yosuke this visibly delighted, though, trying so hard to walk and failing at it...
Yu ends up smiling himself, even if seeing his boyfriend tail-less is completely surreal. Yu gets to his feet, and holds his hands out to Yosuke. ]
Here. Why don't I help you balance?
[ He'll lean over a little if Yosuke wants to just focus on sitting up with legs, first, but here's here if Yosuke wants to try standing, too. ]
[ Yosuke could really keep rolling around like an idiot, but he's got an expert here with him, doesn't he? When Yu offers, Yosuke blinks and looks up, before smiling a little sheepishly. Had he gotten a little ahead of himself? Probably. Regardless, he takes the other boy up on his offer, reaching out for Yu's hands as he tries to pull himself to his feet.
Standing, he realizes, is a lot more complicated than it looks.
First of all he's used to having one tail to move around, not two legs. And they can both move independently. Yosuke has to think about moving one, then the other--carefully and more than a little shaky. ]
You make it look so easy...
[ It doesn't take long for Yosuke to find positions to kneel in that are most definitely NOT comfortable. Standing is another issue entirely.
That sure is his boyfriend, sporting Real Human Legs™.
That also sure is his boyfriend buck fucking naked. Yu does a very good job of not letting his eyes stray below Yosuke's face, but he can't help but be real, real aware of that nudity.
At least they have this whole "learning to use your brand new legs" thing to keep them focused on the important things. Yu holds Yosuke's hands tight, not seeming to mind at all that Yosuke's gripping him pretty hard. He just smiles and waits patiently. ]
I've got a whole lifetime of practice, after all. And of course, you're more graceful in the water than I could ever dream of being. So, really, I think we're pretty even.
[ A brief squeeze of his boyfriend's hands. ]
Take it slow. ... and when we get a chance, we should get you into a change of clothes ...
[ Like, he can deal with Yosuke being naked, but
they are theoretically in public and they
would probably look real suspicious to anyone who happened across this bizarre scene. ]

Don't mind him gripping a little tightly. ]
