[Feeling her movement, Yuuto turns towards her. He can feel himself blushing and hear his heart racing; Things that all become more consuming when he looks at her properly. The weight of what happened is sinking in, sure, but it doesn't feel heavy. It feels nice.]
... I do. [Being honest comes easily for once;]
I want to stay with you, Himeko... I-I want... to be happy with you. For as long as we can.
Then let's call it that. Although... to be honest, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to put a label to our relationship.
[ Her gaze flits upwards, towards the ceiling. ]
Words didn't exactly encapsulate how I felt- no, how I feel now. Maybe there just isn't any, really. [ Himeko laughs, just a little. ] Sorry, that probably sounds a little sappy. But what I do know is that I really do want the same thing as you. I want to be with you. I want to reach towards our happiness together.
Even through the good times or bad times. Even if we get upset or angry, or anything else.
I just... want to be by your side through it all. That's really all I can ask for.
[Yuuto feels it too. In that moment, there are no words for how he feels for her. It's not just 'dating' and 'love' almost feels like too weak of a word for it. He's quiet at first when he reaches out to drape an arm over her.
Nothing else matters.
The universe, fate, karma, everything that used to scare him- It all feels so small. When he finds his words, it's to speak in a quiet and teary voice. This is such an awful time to cry those gooey tears.]
[ It may be, but Himeko is willing to wipe those tears if she has to. As long as she has her nullification, it won't hurt as much. Besides, these aren't sad, depressing tears. ]
Mm.
Well, we... kind of ended up together, earlier.
[ Awful!! ]
But I love you as well, Yuuto. I may mess up a lot, but these feelings of mine are genuine.
[Yuuto laughs- or cries- He’s not sure which. It doesn’t really matter. He’s happy.]
We did… and if you want to be together again… [His voice trails off into shyness. But he hopes she knows what he means to say: He’s happy to be with her in that way too.]
I’ll mess up too… But I’ll always try. You’re worth working hard for, Himeko. I mean it. I’m so happy right now. [Happy enough to cry, which isn’t his normal.]
[He's relieved to hear it. As she gets closer, Yuuto adjusts himself to lightly hold her again. Enough so that can still talk, but to communicate his affection all the same.]
Then... I can stay until you wake up. And remind you that it's real.
[He sighs contently. The tears have stopped and his face is clean enough for him to feel comfortable closing his eyes. Yuuto ducks closer, tapping his forehead to hers.]
Okay. I'll stay right here... Himeko... [And he'll actually manage to sleep a whole night, for once!]

[ She shifts herself to get closer to him. ]
I definitely do. After all, you're dealing with the girl who has two other boyfriends back at the Foundation and is writing an eroge.
But, mm. . . yeah, I'm happy. Extremely so. So much that I almost feel like I might wake up tomorrow and think that it's a dream.
