[In an uncharacteristic turn of events, Yuuto doesn't reply politely right away: He groans softly as if in pain, his eyes flashing violet a few times as he tries to figure out what's wrong. But he can't think straight, so his attempts to use his power only hit him with an internal recoil.
Even so, as a certified dumbass, he eventually tries to wave a hand to dismiss her concern.]
I'm... f-fine... How are you? [He takes a shaky step away from the wall.] I'll leave. [Before this gets harder to conceal.
I’m so sorry… [He reaches out to take her arm and becomes painfully aware of how hard it is to coordinate his body. Why do these things have to hit him so hard??
At least his power isn’t acting up.]
Thank you… I’ll leave on my own. Please… don’t tell anyone…
Yes! It's a -- it originates from the phrase "Cristes Maesse" back in around 1038, literally meaning Christ's Mass. It's originally a religious holiday, even if a lot of people don't celebrate it for the religion and more for the other shit, like couple's dates on Christmas Eve, or just spending time together with friends and family on the day of.
[ She folds her arms and sighs. ]
I wouldn't really consider him a kami, though...
[ She knows Santa exists in at least one world or another, but she's fairly certain that they don't exist in this one. Not that she'll say that aloud yet. ]
[Yuuto topples towards the couch. That’s a lot for his melting brain, Inaba. He vaguely understands what she’s saying and latched onto the most trivial of things in this history lesson.]
I don't have a date for Christmas Eve and you are going to be busy going to a party on Christmas with your other friends so. I'll deal with being alone. It's not a big deal.
[Oh, down he goes then. Yuuto can’t say this is comfortable, but he also can’t say much of anything. Inaba is so cool. She’s so tiny and scary. In his melted brain state, Yuuto can only think to admire her.
And that’s if he thinks at all. His eyes really won’t stay open. He’s so drowsy.]
I’m sorry… I’ll leave soon. I’ll- [He yawns.] … I’ll wake up. And go. Soon?

And now I feel so much better!

Talking about it helps, huh? I'm so stupid...

[He claps his hands together,] I'll do my best to keep us together! I promise- [And Yuuto sways dramatically-] Ise- ise- iiise?
[And has to catch himself against the wall.]

[ That last part is worrying, and it's enough for Inaba to panic, eyes wide in surprise. ]

Like he's concealing it at all.]

[ She frowns deeply, frustration boiling underneath the surface. ]
You're not fine. Are you sick?
no subject
But he can at least slowly trudge through his memory for an answer… and lean back against the wall.]
… The water. I drank the water by my bed. They must have drugged it.
[Yuuto sighs and holds his head,] My head feels like lead…

Can you grab onto me? I'll help move you.

[But he’ll accept the couch for now. Yuuto feels awful.]
I don’t want to go back… Crymass… Santa-senpai…
no subject
[ Inaba... will not hold back any punches, literal or proverbial. ]
And since when is Santa Claus your senpai?
no subject
[Weird word, but okay! His brain is becoming sludge anyway. Even the violet in his eyes is beginning to dim as he gets more and more drowsy.]
Aisaka-san said he can fly a sleigh so fast it goes around the world… and he’s nice. He’s a kind kami…
I’m gonna be that too dammit.

[Yuuto feels himself slipping into sleep. Apparently he’s determined to pass out in the snow and not on her couch, because he tries to get up again.]
We’re friends. I won’t leave you… except now. My eyes won’t stay open.
no subject
[ And she may be small, but if he's getting tired she's going to go grab him by the arm with one hand and push him onto the couch with the other. ]
I'll get angry if you leave and pass out in the snow. I won't hesitate to twist your arm. I do know some pro-wrestling techniques, after all.
[ That, and nullification. ]

I’m sorry I got drugged.
