"Yosuke, no—"

"Yosuke, yes!"

Before Teddie could react, Yosuke flicked his finger against his forehead with pinpoint accuracy, sending the poor bear reeling backward with a dramatic yelp.

"Owww! Yosuke, you brute!" Teddie whined, clutching his forehead as if he'd been mortally wounded.

You watched from the side, shaking your head as Yosuke and Teddie continued their usual back-and-forth. Frankly, this wasn’t anything new—Teddie existed and therefore invited chaos upon himself.

Chie sighed, crossing her arms. "Guys, can we not bully the bear for five minutes?"

"Thank you, Chie-chan!" Teddie sniffled dramatically, throwing himself in her direction. "You're the only one who treats me with the love and respect I—"

Chie immediately side-stepped, and Teddie face-planted into the ground with a loud thud.

You tried (and failed) to hold back a laugh as Yosuke clapped a hand on your shoulder, smirking. "See? He asks for it."

Teddie groaned from the floor. "You guys are the worst."

"Love you too, buddy," Yosuke snickered, holding out a hand to help him up.

Teddie sniffled, taking it. "I demand compensation for my emotional damage! At least eight topsicles!"

"How about I don't throw you into the river again?"

Teddie gasped in betrayal. "Again!?"
