I've been listening to this song every since it came out, so here's a kind of song fic of V's "Sweet Night" for Josuke :)

Summary: Being an exchange student at the start of high school is pretty tough on a teenager. But having Josuke as your best friend trough thick and thin can bring lots of blessings. Only problem is, it does come with a lot of unwanted and frightening feelings. So what else can you do but serenade them to him?

The melody of the guitar played softly, accompanying my voice as I tried my best not to be overflown by my emotions.

It was only me and him on the patio. The sun had set a long time ago, leaving us only with the garden lights of my backyard. We were all alone and at that time it felt like no one else mattered. Just me and Josuke.

It was the night of the summer festival. Our school was in charge of organizing the entire event hence we've been working on it every since the first weeks of spring and we were so exited to get it going

Evey since then, I made a little, very scary plan of my own that I wanted to get it going around that time. I wanted to finally find the guts to confess to my close and very dear friend Josuke.

A good two-three years have passed since me and Josuke met. Before starting highschool, I moved alone with my grandma in Moriho. It was due to my parents being incredibilly busy with traveling that they didn't want to drag me with them anymore and just have a good few years of school in one place for once.

Me and Josuke were over the street neighbours. Although, it took some time to properly meet eachother and become aquainted.

My mother, being worried of me starting school without being accustomed to the town and not knowing anyone else besides my granny, found it fit that I pack early and move in a month before classes.

I wasn't the most enthusiastic about it, but beeing as I didn't have who knows what to leave behind, I didn't complain with the idea. There was actually a tiny part of me that hoped my mother's wish would acctually come true.

And so here I was. Begining of August, helping my dad carry my belongings inside the quite large house my grandmother had. (For some reason, I remebered it a lot smaller).

It wasn't that first day that I got to lay eyes on Josuke for the first time, as I found out later that evening from his grandfather, who came to welcome me over some tea, that Josuke was away with his mother on a small vacation and that they should be back soon over the course of that week.

It wouldn't have mattered so much to me (not that I didn't want to meet them, but it wasn't my life's mission either) if it weren't for Mr. Higashikata praising his daughter and grandson to my granny everytime they got time to chat.

It was hard for me to belive 100 % everything as it did seem a bit exagerated in some parts, but it did get me intrigued on Josuke notheless as I found out we would also be in the same year.

And so Josuke came back home and we got to meet eachother. His mother made him bring us a few sweet snacks and, not to make it obvious where my mom got the same behaviour, my grandmother had to make me the one to answear the door.

I wasn't gonna complain, since I was super exited to finally have a face for the name, but by the time I closed the door, I was a bit let down as our conversation consisted only on shy greetings and awkward intoductions. And so I was left with a plate full of sweets, thinking if I was actually that bad at having a normal conversation. ( the snacks did help tho' bringing the sour mood lower, not gonna lie)

And since then the little optimism I had left of meetings new people died down. I found it very hard to talk more with Josuke, not that I felt like he didn't want to, he was very sweet with me, but it was clear as day that we were both too shy to make our moments last.

Sometimes I felt like I would make the situation worse than it already was. Many times, coming from grocerie shopping or just a small walk around, I would feel so anxious if I saw him approaching that I would do anything just to look like I didn't notice him just from fear of not saying a proper hello and making a fool of my self.

And so I decided I would focus more on preparing for school and spending more time playing my instruments. It helped forget about my painfuly awkward situations I got myself into since coming to Morioh.

Things definetly got better as I started highschool. That morning Josuke came to pick me up, the excuse being his mom telling him. Even though I can say I've changed, I will never not be gratefull for Jojo's carefree personality.

As we were walking i felt like the cat bit my tongue every time I tried talking. But Josuke broke the ice quite quickly before I suddenly evaporated from emberasment.

"Y/N, did I upset you somehow?"

I stoped and looked at him dumbfounded.

"Upset me? No. Why would you think that?" I asked him genuinly confused.

"Well, I was worried I made you uncomfotable somehow, since you seem to avoid me most of the time we meet..."

Josuke spoke in a soft voice looking down at his feet as he slowed down his walk.

My cheeks immediatly blazed as I realised I've been a total dumbass. I had to fix this. I didn't want him to confusse my socially incapability with me beign a total jerk.

"N-no, Josuke I'm sorry...It's not that" I barely found my voice to say.

Josuke stopped and looked at me waiting for me to continue.

"Agh...well here's the thing. I get flustered everytime I see you... I'm bad at socialising in general and I fear I'll make a fool of myself so instead I just avoid talking as best as possible. I know I shouldn't and it's very rude of me. Forgive me."

By the time I finished my heart was beating a million miles per hour. I was really hoping to not have upset him.

But then I heard a soft giggle from him.

" Damn, I'm glad to know it's just that. I mean I understand it must be a hard thing to deal with, but I'm glad to know I didn't make you mad. I would have been quite angry at myself if I lost my first friend since starting school'

Josuke smiled brightly at me befoure continuing to walk. I was definelty not expecting that from him. But he eased my tension by a lot.

With bigger steps I got next to him and from there all the way to school we got to know eachother. I didn't know it then, but that was the begining to one of my most beautiful friendships I've ever had.

And so the years passed. By this time me and Josuke made a bunch of friends, stopped a crazy serial killer, battled all types of crazy people and many other weird but fun adventures.

Life with Josuke as my best friend couldn't be sweeter.That was until a year ago, when I started catching feelings for my dear pomadore friend. It made me curse my teenage hormones and my irational heart.

Was I specifically mad that it was Josuke that I fell for? Not really. I mean, who wouldn't? But I was definetly bad at hiding it since everyone knew about it. Even Okuyasu.

So with this feelings in mind I got where I am now.

Every since the festival preparations I've been writing lyrics non stops.I knew I had to tell him one day so I decided to do it the best way I knew. Music. Sometimes grandma or Yukako (if she was around) had to scream at me to take a break and at least eat. The later understood my situation but I could see in her eyes she felt bad she couldn't help me with it.

Writing this songs was probably the most healing process I've ever experienced. After a lot of hair pullng, by the time the festival came I felt at ease. I came to accept the idea of rejection from him.

I asked Josuke before attending the festival if he wanted to leave earlier and hang out in my backyard. I warned him that I had something important to tell him which put a bit of weight on the air around us as the evening went on.

That was pretty much how I got in my current position. I continued the tune holding my guitar with a very strong grip. I was looking directly into his eyes as my confession kept pouring trough my verses.

By the time I was close to the end I could see he understood everything. My love for him, my fright of loosing him, how important and cared he was in my eyes, he understood me like he always had.

When his sky eyes looked back into mine and smiled, I was holding back from crying. My soul finally felt liberated. I wanted to just stop, hug him and thank him for taking all my pain away. For all this years.

Josuke moved closer to me slowly. My heart was jumping in all places as i felt his hand on my shoulder. My fingers pinched the strings of the guitar in the same soft rythm as before, while I could feel Josuke pulling me closer.

By that time his head was on my other sholder as we swayed together with the melody. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I closed them and let it drop down my face with a stupid grin. Even if Josuke was holding me in his arms, I felt like I was already up in the skies flying. For the first time in a while I felt like everything was right.
