[dereban]

It really doesn't bother me. I've had boys sleep over at my place before.

[spacialeyes]

Then… If it’s okay, I… [Yuuto does something miraculous: He stops to think. He knows why he’s being so insistent on staying. He’s still afraid of vanishing at any moment. Yuuto still wants to spend every second that he can with his new friend, because he’s wired to think it’ll all be over in an instant.

And for once, he’s able to realize that his fear won’t become reality. Not here.

Yuuto sighs in relief. He didn’t even realize how scared he was before.]

I’d still be happy if I could. Even if it’s just for a while longer…

[dereban]

Alright. Make sure you contact anybody you need to tell. I don't want any worried parties acting weird or suspicious because you stayed for the night.

[ She's not here for that!! ]

If you need to rest up, you can go ahead and take the bed in the other room or the couch.

[spacialeyes]

Couch is okay... Is there nothing else that you want to do? Do they make music or televised broadcasts for Christmas..?

[dereban]

There is music, but I'm not really in the mood for it.

[spacialeyes]

Is there something bad about Christmas music? [He asks that while walking to the couch. Is he really going to do this? He knows that if he sits down, then he's definitely going to start falling asleep.]

[dereban]

A certain someone defrosts to sing a particular song every year and it's always a hassle to write the paperwork for it.

[spacialeyes]

Defrosts..? Does she only get to sing on Christmas? That's so sad...

[dereban]

Well... Christmas time, not just the day of. She kind of defrosts at the beginning of December and breaks out of containment.

[spacialeyes]

That still sounds really sad… I hope she gets to sing a lot during that time. It sounds like she really likes singing?

[dereban]

Well, yeah. But she sings the same song repeatedly that it kinda gets annoying...

[spacialeyes]

She sounds like she could be a Rumor... Ah, do you like singing, Inaba?

[dereban]

A Rumor- ah, well, in the world I was in, she was designated as an SCP.

[ Just like she was. But she won't say that. ]

Me? I don't mind singing myself, really... it's fun to go karaoke with friends.

[spacialeyes]

"SCP," huh? [He doesn't push for more information. Against his better judgment, Yuuto had taken a seat on the couch.] Karaoke... I've heard of that. It's something that friends go to do together in the city, right? Karaoke booths are cheap places for a nap too.

[dereban]

Well, it can be done even outside of booths. If I had things set up, I could even do it at home if I wanted to.

[spacialeyes]

Really? How would you do that? I've never seen it done anywhere else.

[dereban]

Some companies sell the software in a bundle that comes with a mic. You'd just have to hook up the setup to a monitor.

[spacialeyes]

I wonder if I can sing karaoke here..? I've never been able to before. It sounds like fun. [He's starting to doze off.]

[dereban]

I'm sure you'd be able to if you wanted to, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

Mm... There's a lot that I want to do in this world while I can. Karaoke and New Years... Maybe our next date..? [Slowly... falling over onto his side.]

[dereban]

Maybe so.

[ She'll come closer and stoke his bangs a little bit, smiling with clear affection. ]

Good night, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto doesn’t have the energy to protest. It’s comforting and pushes his thoughts further into hazy exhaustion. He sighs quietly, finally collapsing onto his side. Un/fortunately, his brain to mouth filter falls asleep before him,]

Mm… Good Nya-ight… Love you… Inyaba…

[His tail will flick for a few more seconds before going still.

Sorry about your new floating furniture.]
