[Waking up and seeing that this wasn't the ceiling in Verens was definitely... almost a shock if to her system. But this was definitely a familiar ceiling. And the moment she rolls over in her bed, she realizes where exactly she is.

This is her own bedroom, in her own room.

She's back home.

It's kind of strange, because it means that she has to fall back into routine once again, but the surprising thing about all of this isn't that she's home. The surprising part is that when she decides to go to the bathroom and she's just in a towel and-

That sure is Yuuri in the toilet and she isn't yelling, instead she's just brought into stilled silence for a moment until she manages to say a single word, baffled.]

Yuuri? [That is him, isn't it?]

[ He nods, understanding what she's referring to. Yuuri looks down at his pants when she mentions a blow dryer though, and he cringes. He didn't realize his pants got that wet. ]

A blow dryer should be fine. [ He pauses. ] I could do it outside in your room or something too. You were... about to take a shower right?

You can stay in my room while you do it. There's a lot of outlets there, so it should be fine.

[Although she realizes that kind of sounds wrong out of context and she flushes. What makes her flush even more is when he asks her if she was going to take a shower and that's when she jerks her head away from him.]

Y-yeah, I was... [Her grip on the towel tightens, and she can't help herself.] I didn't bring my clothes with me, since I thought...

[...]

I-I'll just knock when I go back into the room.

[Good plan. Nailed it.]

[ Yuuri nods, noticing her blush and turning a little red himself. ]

Yeah I... I surprised you, didn't I? [ And surprised himself. If only he could actually control when he went somewhere. ]

That's a good idea. [ He nods again for emphasis. ] Hopefully it won't take long for me to dry my pants.

You did.

[She can say that a little easily as she tries really hard to calm herself down, although her cheeks are still slightly red as she looks at him again, adjusting her towel a bit.]

But... not in a bad way. I'm really happy to see you.

[And Inaba truly means that.]

Hopefully it won't. Now shoo, shoo. The first door on your left leads to my room. You can sit on either the bed or the couch in there.

[Fun fact: her room is actually really spacious that you might as well consider it a second living room. There's even a computer and a wide screen television in there.

Well, she won't shoo him until she goes to one of the dressers and grabs the dryer for real. There. Take it.]

[ He smiles when she hands him the dryer. ]

I'm really happy to see you too.

[ And Yuuri turns to make his way towards her room. He's surprised at what he sees—the spaciousness of it and the wide screen television and computer. He's never seen electronics like that and he's tempted to check them out. But that'll have to wait until later.

He plugs in the dryer and sits on the couch, working on getting his pants dry. Thankfully it seems to be working pretty well. ]

[He says he's really happy to see her too and she can't help but feel really happy. Something flutters in her chest and she's all red but she probably should actually go ahead and shower properly.

But she can't help but think a little bit about everything.

And how this is kind of awkward in some ways. Yet she isn't allowed to think too much on it as she finishes up, grabbing a second towel to help dry her hair before she knocks on the door three times.]

... It's me. You don't need to cover your eyes, I still have a towel on.

[ Yuuri lets his mind wander while he dries his pants, thinking about what it might mean that he's actually here. He knows that Inaba has a boyfriend here and yet that doesn't really change the way he feels. He was surprised that he remembered Verens at all when he woke up in his own world, much less actually ending up here.

When Inaba knocks, he shuts off the dryer. ]

Okay.

[ He still avoids looking at her directly though, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. Instead, he checks his pants to make sure they're dry. ]

[It's true that there's complications about the fact that she still has feelings for Yuuri, especially now that she's finally back home. But her feelings for her boyfriend haven't changed, either. She can't help but wonder what she should do. What can she do?

To be honest, it kind of scares her: the idea of confronting it all.

She grabs the doorknob and twists it open as she immediately sneaks away to the closet door, opening it up as she grabs some of her clothes.]

Now you better not look.

[Even though she kind of has the feeling that he won't. Her face is red, though as she says those words, making them sound weaker than how it's meant to be said. But she is getting changed into something simple-- a white long sleeved top and a pink skirt and long thigh high stockings. It doesn't take her too much effort or time to get dressed but she's doing it.

In her own room.

While Yuuri's there. This is embarrassing. Anyway now that she's done with that, she puts her towels on the hangers to dry before going on ahead to grab one of her brushes, sitting down next to him as she brushes her hair a bit.]

Anyway, even if any of the others come home, they won't come here, so you can stay here for the time being. I have sleeping bags too in case you can't go home, too. I've had the club sleepover here once, so it's not a big deal. And if I tell the others what happened, they'll probably believe me, so it's fine.

So, um... my room isn't weird or anything, is it?

[ Yuuri looks away, focusing instead on getting the small spots that are still wet on his pants dry. He doesn't look up until he feels Inaba sit down next to him, and he looks over. She looks cute, but he stops himself from complimenting her. Maybe that's not a good idea, not when the circumstances here are so much different than they were in Verens. ]

Thanks. I'll figure out a way to make it up to you. [ Maybe he can help clean or something.

At her question, though, he smiles a little. ]

No, your room is really nice. [ He's kind of jealous—his own room is tiny. ] I haven't seen half of the things you've got in here before, either. I've never seen a television that nice.

You really don't have to.

[To be honest, Inaba is rather organized and keeps her room clean in spite of its size so she really doesn't have to worry too much about that.]

A lot of people say that... the computer I have in here is actually something I built myself.

[It's her pride and joy, so to speak.] And I guess most Japanese people don't have flatscreens, huh. But I guess that's not too bad.

I know. I just don't want to feel like a freeloader.

[ That's exactly how he'll feel. Maybe he can figure something out though.

But what Inaba says next surprises him. ]

You built it yourself? Wow, you really are amazing! [ That kind of slips out before he can stop himself. Oops. ]

Then I guess I'll just have to resign my fate to whatever favor you end up doing for me.

[She says that in a way that's partially a joke, laughing it off a little bit, even shrugging her shoulders. But then he says that she's amazing and she finds herself blushing hard.]

It's not really that amazing, Yuuri... it's something that can be learned with a little bit of research.

[ Once he realizes what he's said, Yuuri blushes too. His whole face feels hot, and feels only hotter when he sees Inaba blushing. ]

I really don't think I could ever do something like that! I think it's really cool.

Well...

[She.

She actually does not know what she should say, or what she can even say, and it's kind of awkward that she finds herself curling up a bit.]

I can reassure you that it really isn't a big deal. But thanks.

[ He nods, quiet for a few moments. Maybe he was a little too insistent. ]

...I didn't ruin any plans you had today, did I?

[ That was something he was wondering earlier, actually. ]

Huh?

[He manages to startle her a little bit with that question before she shakes her head.]

No, no... you didn't. I wasn't really going to go out or anything today, don't worry.

[ He nods, smiling a little out of relief. ]

Good. I know you're busy, so I was hoping I didn't ruin any plans...

[Seeing his relieved smile is enough to make Inaba return it, her shoulders relaxing as she shakes her head.]

I'm not busy at all. I wasn't really going to do much, really. So going out with you honestly... [She threads her fingers together, a little nervous.] I'd be happy.

[ His smile turns more genuine, and he nods. ]

That would make me happy too. [ Happier than it should, probably, but the opportunity he has simply being here... he doesn't want to waste it. ]

Where do you want to go?

[The fact that he says it would make him happy makes her heart pound in a way that seems almost traitorous. She forces herself to shake her head to calm herself down and tries to relax.]

We can just walk around. You've never been here after all, and it's a pretty big city.

That sounds like a good idea.

[ Just walking around is nice, especially in a new city. ]

Do you want to go ahead and go? I should be okay to go out...

[ At least he thinks so? His clothes are dry now. ]

It definitely is a good idea.

[Though she does understand that she can't stick too closely with him now that she's back home.]

We can, it shouldn't be a problem. There's a lot I want to show you.

[ That makes him even more excited to see the city. ]

Show me your favorite place first. That what I wanna see most.

[ He wants to see all the places she wants to show him, but first and foremost, Yuuri wants to see the most important places. ]

My favorite place?

[She's kind of surprised that he asks that, and she can't help but be surprised; something that shows in her wide eyed expression and how she flinches a little.]

I... I could show you, but are you sure? You might get bored.
