[ 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]

...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.

[dereban]

Both.

[spacialeyes]

... Mm. Both it is, then.

[He's already tracing her neckline with his fingers, teasing her with a gentle touch as he debates whether or not to loosen her shirt.]

You were so patient, Himeko. I have a lot to make up for, huh?

[dereban]

You do. But we have all the time in the world, now.

[spacialeyes]

And you want to spend that endless time being loved, huh?

[dereban]

You got a problem with that?

[spacialeyes]

Not at all... It makes me happy. [Rather than immediately undress her, Yuuto lets his hand slide down to her abdomen and toys with the edge of her shirt.

Or whatever she wore to bed. Help.]

I think about it a lot, actually..?

[dereban]

[ She was in fact wearing a shirt and pants to bed, so.

Nevertheless, her cheeks brighten slightly, gaze shifting away from him. ]

Is that so?

[spacialeyes]

Mm... Devoting my entire life to you sounds nice. [He tests her reaction to slipping his hand under her shirt, chasing her gaze with his,] At least I can do that in my dreams.

[dereban]

Do it in reality, too... if it's only in your dreams, I don't really get the benefits.

[ Her voice is pitching quite a bit, in fact. ]

[spacialeyes]

[The sound of her voice, pitched and cute, pulls a happy sigh from him. Yuuto takes his time letting his hands explore her skin.]

Would it make you happy..? That sort of devotion? Right now, you look like you don't want it.

[he's absolutely teasing her for averting her gaze.]

[dereban]

That's... I do want it. It's just a little embarrassing to say it out loud.

[spacialeyes]

So it would be okay to say quietly? [He leans in like he’s going to listen, but decides to stop teasing there. Instead of waiting for an answer, he moves for a kiss as an answer.]

[dereban]

[ That's bad and he should feel bad...

Nevertheless, there's a muffled sound of approval when the distance is closed between the two of them, shutting her eyes to allow for him to lead the pace. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto balances his affection on two fronts: Kissing her lips and touching her skin. He breaks the kiss only to press his lips against her neck and sigh greedily.]

Himeko. I love you, Himeko… Let me pretend..? I could be yours forever?

[He knows that he might normally get scolded for wanting that, being almost immortal and all.]

[dereban]

Mmm...

[ The way that Inaba responds is in a bit of a haze when he breaks the kiss, only managing to make more greedy hums as she wraps her arms around him, keeping him close. ]

Okay. Just for a little bit.

[spacialeyes]

[He can't help but gasp softly when she brings her arms around him. With a soft smile of his own, Yuuto moves to share another kiss on her lips.]

Thank you... My love, Himeko- [Humming happily, Yuuto chases a few kisses until his lungs force him to pause.]

[dereban]

I love you, Yuuto...

[ Her voice is full of affection as she buries her head in the crane of his neck. ]

Stay with me.

[spacialeyes]

Always. [He carefully lowers himself further to make it easier for her to bury her head against him. And for a few moments, Yuuto lets his mind sink into the fantasy that he’s human and really can stay.] For as long as you want me here, Himeko… There’s nothing more that I want.

[He cuddles closer, searching for skin to kiss,]

Just your happiness.

[dereban]

[ A shuddering breath passes her lips as they curve into a soft smile - one that's just meant for him. ]

I'll always want you. Even when you don't think I do. After all, for me... it's more than a want, really.

[spacialeyes]

[That's almost scary to hear. If not for her smile and how it leaves him incapable of feeling hurt or fear, he might worry. But as they as now, Yuuto is simply stunned to consider it.]

... Ah? Ahhh..? [His confused state turns to a shy smile,] I could be so important..?

[dereban]

You've always been that important ever since I fell in love with you.

[spacialeyes]

[They’ve gone through this rodeo a few times before: Yuuto being stunned when he hears her say such things and even more shocked that he believes it. He’s not sure when he’ll be used to the way those words make him feel.

This time too, Yuuto feels his breath catch in his chest and quietly processes what he’s feeling. Then he manages another shy smile as he leans closer, pressing his forehead to hers.]

… Mm. I believe you.

So I guess… I have to be here for a really long time? If you’d like me here that much..?

[dereban]

If that's okay.

[ Her voice grows shy as she presses her forehead against his own. ]

Right now, though... I want you to spoil me.
