October has been very... strange for Yu. And that is saying something, given who Yu is.

Coming down with the "Neko Effect" should have been a deliberating, and stressful, and it was, at first. the odd impulse or decision at first, was nothing you couldn't write off. You have always had strange impulsive decision you take without really thinking. But it was around the time you started growing whiskers that you fully concluded what was happening was seriously out of the ordinary. You confided in your Partner, the person you feel the closet towards, and that just ended up getting him in the same boat as you, just a few weeks behind.

But... by that point, you didn't really care anymore. this... condition, it just felt too good. too... you? after so long wearing different masks, different persona's, this felt, paradoxically, like it was the real Yu Narukami. You're Partner says its just the condition warping your sense of self, and... maybe he is right. But, on the other paw, you can tell he wants it too. to play and snuggle and just be care-free cats.

You know, now that you think about it, this condition is definitely getting worse for you, but you can't summon the will to fight it. for a man who can wear any mask, having one forced onto you so thoroughly seems, almost a comfort.

"You make a cute cat Yosuke-nya~" you whisper into youske's flickering ears, saying what feels, deep down, like your true feelings, "And you'rrrrre mine, rrrright purrtner?"

Your partner mewls out a response of hesitation, "d-dude, th-thats..." but his protests die between his purrring, and his tail sharpening like a sword.

>Apologize and back off
>>>Lick Partner

You respond with your sand paper tongue on his lightly fuzzed cheek. he tastes sweet like strawberries~

You lick and lick, until you feel an elbow in your rounding chest, as he pushes you away. "Dude! w-what's wrong with you!" his face is stark red blushing. For your part, you back off, licking your own paw hands, to continue cleaning yourself, and more importantly getting as much of his wonderful scent mixed with your as you can.

You look up briefly, seeing Yosuke staring at his own hands, his tongue sticking out, clearly unconsciously. You know where he is at mentally, as you were there not long ago. mental gears grinding in the wrong way trying to figure out how to resist, questioning if you even should. Questioning every action you take as your own, or a product of some strange shadow curse. You lean back on him, wanting to allivate his mental stalemate, with another lick to the cheek.

You feel him stiffen in your arms again, as you continue licking, waiting for him to say something stupid like, "this is for girls", or, well, probably "this is for cats", given the situation, but he doesn't. he just leans in, continuing to purr. As you mix your scents, you hear him whisper out "this is so messed up!", before licking his own paw.
