Note:  The souji/yosuke tag is for what is probably flirting but certainly isn't any stronger than in the actual game or anime.  Dancing All Night is what this is leading up to, but nothing's spoiled that you don't find out in the first five or ten minutes of the game (going by memory, anyway) so I wouldn't say it's spoiler heavy.  The fluff is strong with this one.

            “Okay, so, what do you know about dancing?” Yosuke asks quietly.  He hasn’t let go of Souji’s hand yet.

            Souji’s a little surprised, but not displeased.  If asked, he would’ve said that Yosuke would be a more hands-on sort of teacher, not spending time talking like this, but he misses his boyfriend, so just sitting and talking like this, even if admittedly it isn’t accomplishing much, is nice.

            “I used to spend a lot of time at the dancing games at the arcade,” he admits.  He’s a little embarrassed, even if he can’t explain why.  But Yosuke’s grinning.

            “Me too!” he exclaims with enthusiasm.  “You used to barely be able to pry me out of one.  My parents practically hated them.  I think that’s half of why Dad came up with the idea of Arcana Life and pitched it to Junes.  I could dance, and instead of spending money I could make it.  I wasn’t allowed to go after they started having AL songs in the arcades, though.”  He looks depressed for all of two seconds before grinning again.  “I bet you spent a little more time in there after they got our songs in.  Pity they were worried about me being recognized and getting mobbed by crazy fans, or we could’ve met earlier.  Not that, you know, it wasn’t good as it was, and I’ll shut up now.”

            Souji smiles and squeezes the brunet’s hand, figuring he doesn’t really need to say a word with his face so expressive.
