[ 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. ]

Did you? Like what? [Yuuto nods and slowly lowers himself next to her on the bed, extending an arm with the offer to cuddle with her.] Can I hold you for a bit..?

[dereban]

[ There's a light chuckle and a cheeky grin that plays across her lips. ]

That's a secret.

[ But as to his offer... ]

Yeah, you can. You're allowed more than that, if you want.

[spacialeyes]

Eh~? That’s mean. Now I really want to know~! [But more than that, he’s happy to see her smiling. Hopefully that means that his soul was good to her.

Yuuto gently brings his arms around her and pulls her close, playful in how he initially cuddles her.] You were sleeping! I don’t want to interrupt too much… too fast.

[dereban]

Too bad.

[ She huffs with a pout. ]

Besides, I've slept long enough and have been waiting this whole time.

[spacialeyes]

[In the moment, he’s happy to cuddle close. He brings an arm around her and gently runs his fingers through her hair, enjoying the warmth of having her so close. Though he’s well aware that Inaba can be greedy and not opposed to meeting her halfway; Something he tries to signal by lowering his voice to a private whisper.]

Waiting, huh..? I’m sorry… Was I gone too long? I owe you a lot of attention then..?

[dereban]

It was only a day, but... that's long enough.

[ She leans into his touch with a bit of a humming, shutting her eyes to focus entirely on the feeling. ]

Don't do something that stupid again.

[spacialeyes]

I-I'll try not to... [He can't promise that he won't be stupid, but-

Yuuto cuddles close, happy with the feeling.] Hmm... Are you busy this morning? Or do you have time..?

[dereban]

I'm free, why...?

[spacialeyes]

I don't want to let you go..? Is that okay or..?

[dereban]

...yeah, that's fine.

[spacialeyes]

Eheh~ Yay~. [Yuuto playfully tightens his hold to rest her head against his chest. Feeling his heartbeat so close to her is as much for him as it is for her; Yuuto realizes that being unconscious for an entire day means he was Really Stupid and he’s lucky to be awake.

He’s also feeling very affectionate and clingy, but isn’t sure how much to push that when she’s still waking up.]

It’s not fair that I didn’t get to see you for a whole day… I hope that my soul treated you nicely! Even if I’m- [Lowering his voice because he knows this is stupid of him:] a bit! Jealous.

[dereban]

You would know if they did... and you don't have to be jealous.

[spacialeyes]

Good..! Because I don’t know how I’d scold them if they didn’t. Write notes on my arms, maybe..?

[He laughs quietly.]

I know. I’m just being silly… You love me as much as I love you.

[dereban]

You know you could record something. But you are being silly. Even if I did love someone else, that isn't going to change how I feel about you.

[spacialeyes]

I'd rather have recordings of you than me? [he's missing the point there-] Mm. It's just strange to think that person is... me? But not me..?

I have a weird soul, huh?

[dereban]

They were similar to you in some aspects, but different enough in the ways that matter.

[spacialeyes]

Hmm... I wish that I could meet them myself. But as long as they were kind to you... I'm glad for that.

Did you kiss them?

[dereban]

...why do you ask?

[spacialeyes]

I suspect that they would have wanted to..? So I hope they expressed that to you.

[dereban]

Well, I did then, okay?

[spacialeyes]

Thank goodness... [He moves slowly, wanting to entangle their legs and be closer, though his voice softens with a more serious type of sincerity.] I think about it a lot... How no matter what, a part of me will always be out there to love you. I'm so lucky to get to love you so much, Himeko.

[dereban]

Geez. Were you really that worried...

[spacialeyes]

S, sorry... Am I worrying too much? I do always worry about you a little bit..?

[dereban]

...Love me more instead.

[spacialeyes]

Auu? [He carefully breaks the cuddle so that he can push himself up, looking down at her with an amused expression.] With my words or my body, Himeko? I'll give you whichever you'd like.
