[spacialeyes]

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

[dereban]

Nobody lives forever.

[spacialeyes]

I don't quite mean that way. [Yuuto laughs sadly, lowering his gaze from her face,] Though even if that was the reason... In that sense... I wonder which way it'll go for me, hm? I'm cruel either way.

[dereban]

What kind of cruel person admits to helping in the shadows and actually kissing me several times, huh?

[spacialeyes]

The kind that I am~.

What about you? Do you let just anyone kiss you?

[dereban]

Why would I do that? I don't get any enjoyment off of it if I just kiss just anyone.

[spacialeyes]

Ah. [He wonders if his Ex would be happy to know that he apparently gives off good kisser vibes? Should he be happy about that? He defaults to a smile.] I don't get it.

[dereban]

I only kiss those who I like.

[spacialeyes]

Me too! [Yuuto understands that much,] I like you a lot. You're a very interesting person, Inaba.

[dereban]

Ah...

[ She trails off, just giving the usual 'itadakimasu' before going to distract herself with eating so she doesn't have to deal with the fluster and how her heart races. ]

[spacialeyes]

[He isn’t thinking much of it. To Yuuto, it’s easier to accept her approval as being for his body. And of course she likes his body. It’s the part of him that everyone likes. He takes care of it for a reason.]

Is the chicken okay? And the potatoes? Did I get the Christmas flavor right?

[dereban]

It's really good... you really are a wonderful chef.

[ She's saying this between bites, looking rather pleased. ]

[spacialeyes]

Really?! Thank goodness..! I was worried I’d ruin Christmas..!

Please, be as greedy as you’d like! Ah- But there’s cake too.

[dereban]

You're not going to ruin Christmas for me if your cooking's shit. I'll eat what I can and save for cake.

[spacialeyes]

[He shakes his head,] Nn-nn! I asked you out on this date, so it’s my responsibility to see that it goes well. That means everything has to be perfect. Cooking especially.

What Christmas things should we do after dinner?

[dereban]

It's fine if everything isn't perfect... kind of part of life, really.

[ But she does get it. ]

Well, I don't really have other Christmas things. Like, it's not like I have any movies from back home, or have to deal with opening any other presents. But we did buy the cards, so we might as well play, I suppose.

[spacialeyes]

Well… You deserve a perfect night every now and then, Inaba. Even if it’s difficult: You still deserve it.

[Yuuto sets his utensils down.]

Cards would be fun though! Poker, right? I am quite good~! I even know how to make money from it.

[dereban]

Is that so...? I would like to say that I'm decent at it, too. If you know the secrets for success, it makes things easy.

[spacialeyes]

Exactly that. You also have to be careful not to win too much or they'll throw you out.

[dereban]

Ah, yeah... some places will do that.

[spacialeyes]

But you won't throw me out, even if I beat you a lot, right? Inaba~?

[He's teasing! And standing up before he can tease too much.]

I'll go get the cake.

[dereban]

That's because you're not going to. Thank you.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto almost wonders if that's a veiled request that he not win as much, but catches himself.]

Ah, well... I-I'll still... be trying. [His power makes a cake knife and some plates float closer and he directs them to cut the cake and serve it while he's checking the kitchen manually.] Do you want tea or anything with the cake? I can make some while I'm up, if you'd like.

[dereban]

No need for that. And don't go easy; it won't be interesting otherwise.

[spacialeyes]

A-Are you sure? If I make it less interesting somehow, please do not hesitate to tell me off..?

[A plate and cake float over to Inaba while Yuuto is collecting dirty dishes in the sink]

I can clean up when you're done, if that is preferrable.
