[Yuuto pulls her up into his arms, securing her in a tight embrace. Distortion eyes... they scare him, obviously, but not enough to stop him from holding her. With a hand behind her head, stroking her hair, Yuuto shakes his head.]
Inaba. It's alright.
When it's just us, this is enough... You can rest. I won't go. I won't change my mind.
[He gives her a gentle squeeze when adding,] And she's allowed to cry on me. You can complain or be scared. I want to be with you through all of it. Is that okay?
I won't. [As long as they aren't telling anyone, Yuuto will cuddle her a bit closer,] So don't hold back. If I may, then I won't let you go until you're ready.
[He threads his fingers through her hair, hand on the back of her head to support the embrace.] ... Are you comfortable, Inaba?
... We could always be greedy together? I can be greedy for the 'Inaba' that no one else is allowed to see.
[Though his voice is getting softer. Yuuto is comfortable too. It feels nice to hold her again. The cold ache in his heart melts when they're like this.]
[It feels surreal. In the past few hours, Yuuto's entire world has fallen apart. Literally, figuratively, metaphorically; Logic tells him that now isn't the time. But it feels nice. His broken heart feels so warm right now.
He can be allowed this, right?
Yuuto puts a hand on her cheek and leans in for a kiss. Quickly and timidly. It's been so long since he felt her lips on his.]
She doesn't stop him, instead closing her eyes as she relaxes--it's been way too long since she's had this. She didn't think that she would be allowed to, after so long.
After a moment, she breaks the kiss, but keeps herself close to him. ]
[He's slowly pushing her back on the bed,] Mm. I'm a greedy blackhole. And I want your warmth, Himeko.
[This is bad. Yuuto still has enough sense to know that he has to be careful with how greedy he gets tonight. He isn't the only one with a gravitational pull.]
[His eyes are beginning to glow as his focus becomes Inaba and nothing else. Even then, with Inaba pinned under him, Yuuto nearly shrinks into uncertainty.]
I didn't want to hurt you with my feelings... But this is okay? I trust you...
[ She pauses, her gaze flitting away from him out of the guilt that's been eating away at her the last couple of months. ]
I hurt you so much. I felt that I didn't deserve any second chances, and that... you already had someone else. I already had other people, both back home and at the Foundation. I shouldn't be allowed to be greedy. That's what I thought. I'd only hurt you more just like I did that day.

But he's greedy. Yuuto leans in again, lips parted for another kiss.]
