[ 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. ]

Do you want to find out~?

[ Her voice is absolutely teasing. ]

[spacialeyes]

Himeko..!

[Pouting intensifies!!! But he isn’t saying no.]

Hue- Auu… You’re teasing me, but I am being serious..! Inhabiting a body is overwhelming. I might forget to breath!

[dereban]

Cute...

If you forget to breathe, I might have to help give you air. But for now...

[ She'll lean in close and give him a kiss on the cheek. ]

[spacialeyes]

It's not "cute" to forget to- [forget to breathe-!

He doesn't realize that he's already holding his breath, and all she's done is kiss his cheek. Or Yuuto's cheek? He's not sure where to draw the line anymore.

When he exhales again, it's to speak in a shaky voice.]

... That's not how I expected it to feel.

[dereban]

That's not the reason I called you 'cute'.

[...]

How did it feel, anyway?

[spacialeyes]

N-Nothing else is cute either then...

[He realizes that he's walked into this one, being prompted to explain what he felt. The kami can feel his cheeks beginning to burn as he tries to put his words into words without embarrassing himself further.]

... I expected it would only make my skin feel warm where your lips had touched me, but it felt like I was shocked. The feeling went through my entire body... That was unexpected and illogical.

[dereban]

Hm...? You made the 'auu' sound, which was extremely cute.

But was it really that illogical, though?

[spacialeyes]

[He bites his tongue and nods, trying not to make any more noises.]

[dereban]

Are you just going to refuse to talk to me now...?

[spacialeyes]

[He shakes his head, breaths in, and tries to keep a level tone:]

N, no. I'm just... not making anymore weird noises. Thank you.

[dereban]

You probably wouldn't be able to help yourself if I properly kissed you, though.

[spacialeyes]

[He tenses again and holds his breath for a second, which is all he can do to avoid making another sound.]

… I don’t know. I- I’ve never been kissed before.

[dereban]

Do you want to find out?

[spacialeyes]

[He knows that he shouldn't nod. But he does anyway.]

... Don't let me stop breathing?

[dereban]

[...]

I'm not going to kiss you for so long that you'd have that problem, you know.

[ She sighs, but then leans in to give him a short, but chaste kiss on the lips. ]

[spacialeyes]

[He tenses at her touch, startled by the feeling, and only seems to relax when contact is broken. This time, the sound he makes is much softer and more dazed.]

... Auu. I didn't expect that either. It's warm..?

[dereban]

Did you enjoy it?

[spacialeyes]

[His nod is short and shy.]

... Yuuto's memories make more sense now.

[dereban]

Do they?

[spacialeyes]

I think that I understand why he always does that... with you...

[dereban]

Hmmm? That means you enjoyed it, didn't you?

[spacialeyes]

Should I apologize if I did?

[dereban]

Why?

[spacialeyes]

Because I-

[Dozens of complicated thoughts surface. It’s hard to pick the loudest one to voice to her when he’s not used to emotions of any sort.]

Kami shouldn’t… really be enjoying this..?

[dereban]

I think it's fine to enjoy yourself while you still can. Regardless of being a kami or not.
