B-But..! [This is really bad..! He can't stop staring. Inaba looked great as a maid, but the butler outfit? It's almost cruel how good she looks! And it hasn't occurred to him that the cruelty is the point.
He lifts the bags,] I'm here to help you relax! And this is... um..!
[His belt gives up the heart shape, but instead begins to sway happily. He doesn't realize that he's giving away his own feelings yet.]
Ah- It's- Uhhhh..! [Does he have to elaborate? Really? Right here?
Then she reminds him that she needs to relax too. Yuuto breaths in, putting a hand over his chest and willing himself to be normal about this, as he nods.]
If this helps you relax... Okayyyy. Um. May I come in?
[Please observe how normal Yuuto is being. Look at him walk to the kitchen very normally and set the grocery bags down on the floor. He breaths in to calm himself, then turns around to face Inaba again.
His tail is giving him away again.]
I brought ingredients for dinner, just in case..? And cake, of course. How are you looking- feeling?
I'm fine compared to the person in front of me that got completely flustered just by seeing me in a butler outfit. I didn't know you were so into girls in suits that much, Yuuto.
Fine. Then I won’t hold back either! Himeko! [He steps forward, intending to back Inaba up. Wall, counter, whatever; The only way to save himself is by fighting back!]
[This is bad. Yuuto may have her backed against a wall and he may have an audience, but he’s also very flustered. His heart is beating so fast that he can hear it trying to drown his logical thoughts with love… Which does not make for good revenge! It’s so mean of Inaba to look so good! With her beautiful eyes and soft hair in that ponytail..!
Yuuto puts his hand against the wall to steady himself, meeting her eyes in hopes of calming down.]
You look really good..! [His voice is softer than he’d like. In a mixed attempt to prove a point and state his case, Yuuto takes her hand and puts it over his chest.
Then fails the conversation with a very M argument.]
And I like being messed with this way! I keep thinking things..!
[It’s really unfair. Yuuto takes a half step closer, leaning forward and watching her face for signs of approval. He brings his lips closer to hers, but he doesn’t kiss her yet. Somehow his revenge is backfiring… He doesn’t really mind that.]
Can’t you guess? […] Did you really dress up to tease my heart this way? Because… you’re winning, a bit.
[The wide swishes of Yuuto's tail begin to slow once he's kissed her. As flustered as he'd been, there's something grounding about being allowed to kiss the person who got him so worked up. Even once he's broken the kiss, Yuuto keeps her pinned to the wall for a while longer. Kissing has helped him regain some confidence, it seems.]
[That's a dangerous answer, he almost lets himself think. But Yuuto knows that he would never purposefully hurt Inaba. Not in a million years.
He's mindful when he peels back her suit's shirt collar, just enough so he can reach her neck for another kiss. Feeling that he might get carried away, Yuuto hums in amusement at himself and whispers;]
I should make your food first, huh? You worked hard today.

But I said it earlier, didn't I? That I should serve this master in private.

[ There's a playful note in her voice as she finds herself amused. ]
What's that? You're going to have to finish your sentences, Master, otherwise I won't be able to understand what you're saying.
no subject
This isn't going to help me relax! You're making my mind go places!
[And he already regrets his lack of a filter.]

[ She opts to play coy even though she knows full well what he probably means. ]
But I thought that all of this was so that I can relax...

O-Only one girl, actually... I'm sorry. You're trying to relax and I'm... n-not helping.

[ She's definitely taken a bit off guard when he does that, taking a step back until she hits the closest wall.
Which is enough to get the spirit that is living here to just come on by and look at them curiously.
That sure is a cat. ]

This is awful. She can feel her face burning a little bit and logic is slipping...just a little bit. Not that she minds, in this particular case. ]
...you idiotic masochist. I'm going to get curious about what you're thinking now, you know.

I think I want to kiss you…? And hold you… and touch you?
[Being honest is just making him more shy. But his own racing heart is encouraging him to be more forward for once.]
… Hey. Can the ‘master’ kiss the staff?
no subject
Of course. Anything you want.

Mm, yeah... what were you planning to make?
