[ 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. ]

Comments

[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.

[spacialeyes]

[He can only hum softly in agreement. Because he wants it just as much: Being together, spoiling her, existing in this precious moment that he knows cannot be replicated.

Wordlessly as first, he claims another kiss while one hand slides down her body and to her leg. He’s reluctant to move his lips for more space than necessary to whisper.]

Please… Let me make you happy, Himeko. I’ll try…

[dereban]

Mmmm...

[ There's a pleasant hum that buzzes on by as she nods in agreement to his words. ]

Okay. Then- no more teasing, Yuuto. I want all of you.

[spacialeyes]

Auu- I-I'm not teasing you, am I? Do you feel teased? Is that bad?

[signed, the one who enjoys being teased.]

[dereban]

You were earlier. It... isn't bad, but I'm feeling a bit impatient.

[spacialeyes]

Are you now..? Then- [Yuuto moves his hand to her waist,] Let's not waste time, huh? Even if we have an infinite amount... Let's spend it happily, Himeko.

[dereban]

Is it really a waste of time if you are time, Yuuto?

[ inaba, ]

[spacialeyes]

I'm not sure? Is it? [He laughs shyly, lifting a hand to loosen his shirt collar as a signal of intent,] Do you ever think that the moments we spend together are a waste, Himeko..?

[dereban]

Of course I don't. And you better not think that they are.

[spacialeyes]

Not at all... These days are the most important moments of my life. I don't know what would have happened if I never met you...

[dereban]

Things would have been much different, I think.

[ Her smile shifts - it becomes something much sadder. ]

But let's not think about that right now.

[spacialeyes]

[He notices that look and his first instinct is to pause what he’s doing so he can prioritize trying to kiss that sad smile away.]

… Yeah.

Let’s not think..? Just feel? All that matters is this moment…

[dereban]

Mm.

[ Inaba nods in response to his words before pressing her lips on the side of his cheek. ]

Yeah. Let's... just for a little bit.

[spacialeyes]

[It's funny how something so simple can make his whole world stop, just because it's her doing it.

Yuuto closes his eyes and sinks closer,]

Only a little bit..?

[dereban]

You want more than "a little"?
