[ 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]

... I am happy with compliments if they hold meaning. What, did you want to try it or something?

[spacialeyes]

Would that be alright? I wonder if complimenting you is indecent for someone who is kami…

[He brings his hands together as he considers it.]

Though… It’s not as though you will ‘tattle’ on me, correct?

[dereban]

... It's fine. And even if I told Yuuto, I don't think it matters that much.

[spacialeyes]

I imagine he will be flustered… After all, I am ‘tattling’ on him in a way. I’ve seen you through the lens of his heart.

[The kami tilts his head to one side and closes his eyes, seeming to be having a strange sort of fun with this game of affection.]

… You have a very nice voice, Himeko.

[dereban]

It's fine if he's flustered. It'll give me a nice leg up.

[ Inaba....... ]

Hmm. Is that all?

[spacialeyes]

I recall your singing on many occasions and your voice was quite lovely to hear. Though for Yuuto, his memories and wants may have blurred together in an unreliable manner.

[dereban]

...what do you mean by that last part?

[spacialeyes]

I may be recalling memories that are coloured by dreams and fantasies? It is not as if that version of ‘me’ is omnipotent and reliable.

[dereban]

You don't need to tell them to me. Besides, I bet some of them might be a little embarrassing.

[spacialeyes]

Very much so... But you really don't care to know what he secretly thinks about?

[dereban]

While there's a part of me that is curious... I don't want to cheat. Besides, I bet it's all pretty tame.

[spacialeyes]

[He finds that he cannot fully refute that.]

Maybe? I, for one, find it quite scandalous?

[That probably doesn't help.]

Was the compliment effective?

[dereban]

Are you the kind of person that might find handholding scandalous?

[ inaba, ]

As for your question... mm, not too effective.

[spacialeyes]

If I found that scandalous, then I wouldn't be able to think about without dying of embarrassment. [huff!]

... I see. I can try harder then.

[dereban]

It might be fun to see, though...

[ There's a bit of amusement in Inaba's voice, now. ] I didn't know you wanted to try harder.

[spacialeyes]

Well-! I am most sorry to report that I've memories far more scandalous and even 'lewd' than hand holding, such as engaging in- in-...

[He covers his face to hide his reddening cheeks.]

... activities.

[...]

Hold on. I need a minute.

[dereban]

Hmm~? Is it really that embarrassing to you that I have sex with Yuuto?

[ nope absolutely not giving that minute ]

[spacialeyes]

Huue- How can you say with a straight face?? I'm not your Yuuto! But I remember it?? Doesn't that creep you out?

[dereban]

Because that reaction of yours is cute, actually.

[...]

Besides. I've already gotten used to that sort of thing. You didn't answer my question, though. Is it embarrassing or not?

[spacialeyes]

There’s no reaction..!

[He keeps his face covered, voice muffled by his hands.]

“Embarrassed” isn’t the word, no… It’s not… bad, exactly. Or important!

[dereban]

You're covering your face, so there definitely is a reaction.

But if it's not bad... then you should just be honest and tell me.

[spacialeyes]

Covering my face is an anti-reaction... [He hears himself pouting and tries to correct his tone. Though as he lowers his hands, red faced and frowning, he knows that he's digging a grave.] Having so many memories of you doesn't mean I don't... like you.

But it feels like I'm stealing moments meant for someone else by remembering them.

[dereban]

That's not how that works. In that sort of way, you are like Yuuto.

Besides, just because you're recalling those things won't make me treat you like Yuuto, you know. If you're thinking that you're stealing those moments, though... maybe we should just make some ourselves.

[spacialeyes]

Himeko! You are implying that we engage in sexual activities!

[dereban]

You're the one who said that, not me. I just said we should make memories together.
