[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.

[spacialeyes]

No, I'm your date. [He uses his power to get a glass and fill it with water, then sits down with her properly.] And I like helping. I'd like to make you happy.

[dereban]

You sound like you'd say that to anyone, though...

[spacialeyes]

I-Is that so bad? I'm happy to help anyone, of course... Th-This really is a special case though. I usually try not to be seen or heard by people.

[dereban]

Is it really that special...?

[spacialeyes]

Yes, really. Like I said, I usually... really should be sure that no one knows I'm around. If I want to help, then I need to be secretive about it.

[He looks down at the meal that he's prepared.]

It was quite irresponsible of me to ask you out like this. I appreciate your accepting my offer.

[dereban]

. . . why do you need to have it be a secret?

[spacialeyes]

Because I'm not permanent..? [is the tl;dr.]

[dereban]

Nobody lives forever.
