[ It had been a complete accident.

The fact that she was now at his bedside just waiting for him to wake up after getting hit hard in the head was definitely not a part of today's plans for her, but he seemed to be relatively fine otherwise.

So now all she could do, really, was wait. ]

[dereban]

Hmm? I wasn't just referring to just 'right now', you know. Besides, you never know what will happen.

[spacialeyes]

Do you not already know the answer to that question?

[dereban]

I don't want to make any assumptions.

[spacialeyes]

[He sighs.] "No matter the time or space, I'll always be there when you need me." Even if your Yuuto disappears, his love and adoration for you will always remain as a part of me. Keeping you safe was always going to be on my mind, whether you asked it or not.

[dereban]

Geez.

[ She mirrors his sigh as she tugs at his arm and pulls him towards the kitchen. ]

...saying it like that is embarrassing.

[spacialeyes]

Your Yuuto is going to be even more embarrassing if he finds out that you didn't know that already.

[dereban]

It's not as if I didn't know it, but you being the one saying it is different...!

[spacialeyes]

How so? You've been fine with me holding onto those feelings until now.

[dereban]

Just because I'm fine with it doesn't mean it doesn't... get to me emotionally, you know. I still see you as still someone different from Yuuto in a lot of ways, even if you do share those similarities.

[spacialeyes]

When he said that you'd be loved for all of space and time, he wasn't lying.

[Perhaps it doesn't seem like a normal way to answer, but it makes sense to the kami.]

Isn't his goal to become the only Spacetime kami?

[dereban]

Still, it feels different.

[ Anyway, she clears her throat as they finally reach the kitchen and she finally lets go. ]

Are you fine with anything...?

[spacialeyes]

Mm. I believe that I should be fine eating any type of food. I do not recall this body having any dietary restrictions.

[dereban]

Anyway, go ahead and just... take a seat in the dining area. It'll take me a bit to make this.

[spacialeyes]

Of course. Please call if you should require any assistance.

[And with that- After bowing his head,- He turns to leave.]

[dereban]

Don't worry, I can at least do this much.

[ It does take a bit but eventually she does eventually come back with actual proper food-- ]

I didn't keep you waiting, did I?

[spacialeyes]

[He’s been sitting quietly, not sure what to do beyond closing his eyes and trying to let his borrowed body rest. When she returns, he looks up with a look of surprise and curiosity.]

Not at all… Is this for me? It looks good.

[dereban]

[ It's curry! Two plates, actually. ]

Yeah. I'm not the best when it comes to this, but I know how to make it properly, at least. So let's eat together...?

[spacialeyes]

I'm sure that it will be the best curry that I've eaten. Thank you, Himeko.

[He nods, waiting for her to take her seat.]

If you'd allow me the pleasure of your company, then yes. Please.

[dereban]

Of course.

[ She'll place the plates on the table before pulling a chair across from him. ]

If it doesn't taste that good, then... just let me know. I'm just an average cook, after all.

[spacialeyes]

You're being far too modest, Himeko. Statistically, according to my memories, your cooking is delicious. I don't remember enough times where it isn't.

[dereban]

I'm telling the truth, though. I know people who are better at making curry and me. And you're biased.

[spacialeyes]

Perhaps so. Is it so bad to be biased towards someone you are in love with?

[dereban]

It's not... but you sure changed your tune real quick.

[spacialeyes]

[Instead of answering, he's going to focus on eating! Though his expression gives away his embarrassment even if he isn't saying it.]

[dereban]

You really can't help yourself, can you...

[ She'll answer for him between taking bites. ]
