I've Been Working A Lot In Pastels Irl So I Decided To Play Around With Digital Pastels With This Super

I've been working a lot in pastels irl so I decided to play around with digital pastels with this super quick Futaba sketch. Did it turn out good? I have no idea, but it was fun.

GRIPS YOU Shiromura fake dating

Shiromura fake dating!

I actually am actually not that far along in writing it but it's been giving me brain worms lately

Warning for teenage stupidity (mostly on Yosuke's end), Yosuke being insensitive, and a weird love triangle (it's a load-bearing love triangle okay I am not a love triangle fanatic)

I'll write out what I have plot wise below the cut

So Yosuke is actually mildly interested in Yu at first- but he's still kinda uncertain about the whole 'dating a guy' thing. So he asks Naoto to sort of fake going out with him, because Naoto is 'kind of like a guy'. (Naoto is still figuring themselves out in that regard, but is offended nonetheless.)

Somehow, despite Yosuke's total lack of tact and foresight, and his immediate withdrawal of the offer as soon as the words leave his mouth, Naoto actually agrees on the condition that Yosuke finances any dates or outings. After all, it would kill two birds with one stone for Naoto- they'd be 'taken', so no more having to deal with people asking them out, and they'd get free goods and food out of the offer, and then they'd eventually break up and Yosuke would end up with Yu. It's not like Naoto could possibly catch feelings for *Yosuke* of all people.

Long story short, Yosuke and Naoto start hanging out, not really doing anything but acting sort of like a couple in public (to the extent Naoto allows). The investigation team is confused, but overall supportive. Naoto actually finds themselves enjoying their 'dates'- they're so touch starved that they begin initiating things like holding hands (even without an actual romantic connotation). And Naoto kind of starts falling a bit for Yosuke as time wears on. He's actually a lot more perceptive and intelligent than Naoto initially realized, and he does genuinely care for Naoto.

It's just that he's going to dump them as soon as he feels ready to ask Yu out.

Which Naoto did agree to- this was never real dating, and it was entirely their fault for opening up. But they end up feeling used and taken advantage of, while also feeling guilty for liking Yosuke. Yosuke managed to fumble the situation as per usual, not understanding that Naoto could possibly like him like that and instead assuming they hate him and breaking the deal off early.

This does not go very well. Yosuke actually misses Naoto's company a lot, since Naoto's started avoiding Yosuke to just forget it all happened. And Yosuke realizes that maybe he likes Naoto just as much as Yu and he *maybe shouldn't have done that* but he's such a disappointment it's better Naoto stays away from him.

Yu visits Inaba during this weird breakup period and makes things ten times more complicated emotionally for Yosuke. He feels guilty for liking Yu and Naoto, for various reasons. Yosuke and Naoto don't want to admit to the IT what happened was a fake dating ploy to get Yosuke with Yu gone wrong. Yosuke starts avoiding Yu, just so he doesn't have to think about it.

Tbh I have no idea what should happen next. Polyamory? Shiromura gets together? Souyo gets together and Naoto is sad and Yosuke is guilty? The rest of the IT gets involved? Who knows- I might make a poll later or something

i love love love when artists put a bunch of effort into like human anatomy and facial features and light rendering and drawing fabric folds and shadows and texture and then when they draw a gun they do this
