Holy crap, it's so easy a Weedle can do it. It's not Magikarp-tier simplicity, but that's just because nothing is Magikarp-tier simplicity.

Have at and enjoy!

Well gee, I think we've done this before, but Yusuke on Botan and Maka?

[angerpoints]

YUSUKE --> BOTAN
You know, it's really been pretty interesting seeing Yusuke interact with Botan in a relatively peaceful setting, because before they ended up here in Johto, I don't think Yusuke ever really got a chance to properly get to know her. That isn't to say that they weren't friends before now, of course - quite the opposite! But he didn't really know much about her, and given that a pretty significant amount of their time back home was spent chasing around The Murderous Weirdo Of The Month (at least at his canon point, anyway), he didn't exactly have an abundance of time left over to ask her about her past or her interests or about anything that didn't somehow involve Spirit World. That isn't the case in Johto, though - here, the only thing they have is time, and while Yusuke is, generally speaking, the exact opposite of okay with not being put in mortal danger every other time he turns around (because he is an adrenaline junkie whose preferred method of venting his considerable spleen is punching), he's at least grateful for the fact that being here has given him the opportunity to learn more about her - even the things that aren't exactly pleasant.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT: Yusuke really wishes Botan wouldn't get so down on herself. At the risk of repeating what I've already said on Plurk recently, the fact that Botan feels like she's an outsider bugs the hell out of him, because in his humble opinion, it makes no sense for a person as genuinely kind as she is to worry about no one wanting them around. He's glad she told him about her feelings, though - not just because talking about them probably took a pretty hefty weight off her shoulders, but because now he can help her turn her way of thinking around. Yusuke might give her crap about being annoying, but he genuinely cares a lot about her and her well-being, so it's important to him to see to it that she gets on the path of loving herself as much as he and the rest of their dumb motley group of friends love her.

Aside from that... well. I think I've said this at least once or twice before, but I feel like it's important to emphasize just how significant of a figure Botan is in Yusuke's life. I mean, if it weren't for her, he probably would've never gone to his wake and agreed to going through with the resurrection trial. Without her proposing the idea of going to his wake and then just kind of... UNCEREMONIOUSLY FUCKING OFF before he could argue with her (thus forcing him to choose between going to the stupid wake and floating around aimlessly for hours on end), he would have never even considered the possibility that anyone gave a shit about him, and the fact that she opened his eyes to that...

... well. Needless to say, it means a lot to him. Botan saved his life in more ways than one, and that's something he's not gonna forget. He's also immensely grateful to her for having his back after the train wreck that was the Sensui case - he's not gonna admit it anytime soon, but being betrayed by Spirit World really sucked, so he really appreciates her support. Even if he's been, uh, kind of bad about showing it. SORRY FOR RUNNING AWAY FOR FOUR MONTHS AND BARELY GIVING YOU ANYTHING BY WAY OF A HEAD'S UP BEFORE LEAVING. It wasn't personal. :I

YUSUKE --> MAKA
Yusuke doesn't know Maka super well, but from what he's seen of her, she seems pretty cool! She's tough and she's spunky and she's from a world with spooky shit, which are all things he appreciates. His only major beef with her so far is that she still hasn't sparred with him. C'MON, MAKA, LET'S PUNCH EACH OTHER ALREADY.
