[dereban]

You don't have to do that.

[ She does allow him to take her hand in his, at least. ]

I don't really have anything else...right now, anyway.

[spacialeyes]

Hmm? [He can feel his nerves become tight. Yuuto tries to will himself to relax, but it’s hard. He’s aware of how she’s made him feel all night. Kissing seems dangerous when his feelings are already so reckless.

Yuuto puts his other hand on the couch to support his weight as he leans in.]

Then… Close your eyes? And tell me… when to stop?

[dereban]

You better not ruin the food because you're distracted.

[ Inaba...... ]

[spacialeyes]

Should I not kiss you then? [He pauses while close to tease softly. Then follows it with a kiss on her cheek to signal his true intent.]

[dereban]

I didn't say that.

[spacialeyes]

[He doesn’t say anything more. Nothing beyond a soft hum of understanding as he closes his own eyes, then presses in to kiss her.

It’s strange. Before this world, Yuuto didn’t think he was allowed to kiss people anymore. He ‘knew’ he was disappointing. It surprises him when kissing her feels so warm and easy. Yuuto draws back, but only because he feels the desire to kiss her again and isn’t sure it’s allowed. His cheeks are already flushed and his voice can’t rise above a whisper.]

… was that enough?

[dereban]

[ Even though he's told her to close her eyes, she ends up doing the opposite at first; her amber eyes widening when he kisses her. She can feel heart leaping out of her chest and the warmth in her cheeks with every passing second, and the way she finds herself relaxing and letting out a heated breath when he asks that question is telling enough for her. ]

Ah- can I ask for more...?

[ She sounds uncertain. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Likewise, Yuuto can feel his heart racing. He smiles shyly, relieved when she makes her request. Privately knowing that he feels the same.]

Mm. [A request he fulfills; Leaning in to kiss her again, lingering closer this time, so his question can be felt on her lips.] Is it enough?

[dereban]

I might need you to kiss me more to find out.

[spacialeyes]

[He half-laughs when he nods, though he needs a moment to adjust how they’re sitting before he can kiss her again. This time, Yuuto lets the kiss linger longer. He follows it up with another, then another. When he pauses next, it’s because he almost feels breathless from the rush. His heart is racing and his face is officially red; And some of his shyness is sinking in.]

… Inaba- It’s nice..? Why…

[dereban]

[ It's overwhelming, but not necessarily in a bad way. When she lets out a sigh after all of it, it's because it's almost dizzying. ]

Hm? If it's nice, is there really a reason to ask 'why'?

[spacialeyes]

Mm... Because I don't understand? [He asks that, forgets that she hasn't asked for another kiss, and selfishly leans in again anyway,] Are you happy..?

[dereban]

I'm enjoying myself, so... yes, obviously.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto sighs; A mix of relief, happiness, and greed.]

Good... Should I... keep going? Is that too much? Is this still normal for friends?

[crossed that line a while ago-]

[dereban]

At that point, you're going to wind up burning both the cake and chicken.

[ Why is that the important thing here...? ]

Let's pause here for now. Any more than this, and we'll end up in the "friends with benefits" corner.

[spacialeyes]

I could be beneficial?

[dereban]

[ Oh my god... she's going to put her hand on his shoulder pitifully. ]

It's slang for "sex friend", Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto teleports into the kitchen-] I'm going to fry the chicken!!!

[dereban]

[ Inaba snorts, chuckling under her breath as she just goes ahead and lies down on the couch, staring at the ceiling above her in contemplation. To be honest, that was totally worth it. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto takes his time trying to cool down and get his mind out of the gutter, so it takes him a few minutes to finish cooking. But once the chicken and mashed potatoes are plated, and the cake is out of the oven, he has to call out to her.]

I-It's done... Where do you want to eat?

[dereban]

We can eat in the kitchen, so you can set the plates there.

[spacialeyes]

Alright~! [Yuuto pokes his head out of the kitchen and beckons her over,] Let's eat then! Come take a seat and I'll serve you.

[dereban]

You're really making yourself at home, huh.

[ She's going to hop out of the couch and walk over and grab a seat at the table. ]

[spacialeyes]

I just want to provide good service. I'm here to spoil you, after all!

[Yuuto comes over to serve her plate, but doesn't sit yet.]

Can I get you something to drink? And um. Where are the cups..?

[dereban]

You're not my butler-- anyway, just water is fine. They should be in cupboard next to the fridge.
