[ 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. ]

[spacialeyes]

Mm- You too… Himeko- [And with that, he sinks closer to steal another as he rubs his thumb across her chest.]

Just a short distraction…

[dereban]

Ah-

[ Her voice cracks a little bit, face burning red as she goes to bury her face in the crook of his neck, pressing her lips on the skin there. ]

I-It doesn't have to be that short, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

[His smile comes so easily that it can be heard in his voice,] I don’t want to distract you for too long. Not when you’ve been so patient… and when I’ve missed you so much, I think? The fact that I don’t remember the time I was away is making me more lonely?

[Even though they’re quite close, Yuuto still has his hand on her chest. So he rolls his thumb against her skin in a massage motion, continuing in a softer voice.]

You’re so warm…

[dereban]

I understand that feeling...

[ She lets out a heated sigh against his skin, and she means the words that she says - after all, she's had gaps in her memories before.

She gets it. ]

It would be bad if I wasn't, you know...

[spacialeyes]

[There’s a moment- When he feels her breathe against his skin,- When Yuuto’s composure slips. He makes a soft, shy noise of his own before at least pretending that he’s calm. His hands repeat the motion from before to chase that reaction.]

If you weren’t, then I’d warm you up..? You’re lucky that I don’t have to, huh? Who knows what tactics I’d use.

[dereban]

...I... I'm sure I wouldn't have minded too much, what you would do.

[spacialeyes]

[He tilts his head, angling his whispers towards her ear. And starts to fumble with his words as this sincere attempt to flirt begins to backfire and burn him with shyness.] E-Even if I- um. Used my... body..?

[he's trying so hard.]

[dereban]

And what if that is what I actually want right now?

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto audibly gasps at first. Then fumbles through a shy reply.]

Hau- I-! Would… Warm you up, Himeko. [The hand resting on her chest begins to slide down towards her waist, but ends up pausing at the center of her chest. Yuuto pulls himself up to meet her gaze,] Where are you feeling cold?

[dereban]

Mmm... I'm not cold, but-- you could make me feel even warmer, right? Or rather... make it feel nice?

[spacialeyes]

I-I'd want to, um... [He shyly moves his hand to her waist and hooks his fingers under the waist band of her pajamas,] If we... both want to, then... um-.

[dereban]

You don't have to hesitate, you know... it's not like we haven't done this before.

[spacialeyes]

I know, I just- [He sighs,] I'm overthinking..? Some things... My mind is wandering to embarrassing places.

[dereban]

I'm supposed to be the overthinker here, you know... but do you want to talk about it? I want to hear.

[spacialeyes]

Just that… [His voice trails off and he averts his gaze, which seems to help him regain some confidence,] I don’t want this to end. Being together like this and- and feeling like it’s just the two of us in this world… It’s nice.

[dereban]

That's it...? That was a lot more tame than I expected.

[spacialeyes]

I-I’m sorry. Is that disappointing? Should I let my mind wander more?

[dereban]

Not disappointing, but... it's just pretty tame.

[spacialeyes]

Are you sure..? I think it's quite forward and scandalous of me to think..? After all.

I'm kami. I'm not supposed to... [His voice trails off and he ultimately tries to correct his old thinking,] Dreaming of a life with you may be selfish, but I enjoy it.

[dereban]

Why are the both of you like this.

[ Inaba. ]

Anyway, there's more... scandalous things, anyway.

[spacialeyes]

Eh? Is this a common issue..?

[He looks back at her and, remembering what they've been doing, offers to help undress her. Absolutely appropriate for this conversation.]

Like what? Marriage? A pact?

[dereban]

Well, I mean... marriage would be nice, but... I-I was thinking more...

[ She trails off, assisting him in undressing. ]

[spacialeyes]

[It clicks what she is alluding to.

Just laughs quietly, pausing his efforts to cup her cheek.]

You’re amazing. You could say that like it’s an easy dream to have. I’m always so worried about how unobtainable it is. [He always doubts that he could deserve to be happy and ends up miserable instead.] There’s something else that you want instead?

[dereban]

That's because it is. We could even get married tomorrow, if that's what you wanted.

[ Inaba, so sudden...! ]

I just thought that it'd be a little more perverse. Is that weird?

[Yuuto stares at her in silence, too shocked to initially react. Sure, he just said that he admired how easily she could voice things like that, but-!!!]

... ha?
