[ Inaba isn't buying it, but if he's going to blatantly lie like that, she's going to push it a little bit as she purposely whispers in his ear: ]

Are you sure, [ and playfully, dragging out his name a bit: ] Yu-u-to?

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto has to bite his lip to avoid making another weird sound. This is awful. He can’t stop himself from trembling and his heart is racing. Desperate to keep up the facade (what facade?) he turns to Inaba with every intention of showing a straight face.

Instead he’s bright red and looking kind of pitiful. He can’t even keep his voice from shaking or raise his volume above a whimper.]

I-Inaba… nnn… You’re so mean.

[dereban]

Well, I'm not the one who lied.

[ She takes a sip of her water. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto pouts. She’s right, but it still sucks! He’s not really sure what to do. Closing his eyes, Yuuto leans forward and rests his forehead on her shoulder. It’s a pitiful display, he knows, but he’s feeling not-terrible when he should feel terrible-terrible.]

I’m sorry. Inaba-san. [Reminding himself of his place!] I didn’t want to make it weird… I don’t want to ruin it…

[dereban]

You're not going to ruin anything, you know.

[spacialeyes]

I’m being such a bad friend… [He doesn’t move yet. He doesn’t want her to see his face.] I’ll get you better chocolate.

[dereban]

Mmm? You're not being a bad friend. Look, I'll even eat one of the chocolates right now if you want.

[spacialeyes]

Eh? [He sits up straight again,] I-Inaba-san, that, uh-! You remember that they're practically poisoned, right?

[dereban]

It's not going to kill me. And I have a hell of a lot more self control than you'd think when it comes this sort of thing.

[spacialeyes]

Hau- Auu? But! Are friends allowed to sit on the couch together and quietly... I'm going to ruin our relationship??

[dereban]

If you don't want that, I don't have to eat it. I'm not really fond of having weird effects go into my system in the first place.

[spacialeyes]

Then... Nnn. Don't worry about it. [He settles down against her. Head once empty, now filled with sin. Yuuto sighs, hoping the feeling will pass soon.] You were right. At least it's you...

[dereban]

Of course I'm right. I'd like to say that I have a good sense for these sorts of things. By the way, I should ask... why did you choose those flowers in particular?

[spacialeyes]

[There is no room in his brain for a filter right now:]

Because I love you.

[dereban]

Ah...

[ ... ]

Huh?

[spacialeyes]

Hmm?

[dereban]

You... just confessed to me.

[spacialeyes]

[Excuse him while he rolls off the couch, hits the ground hard, then teleports to the door.]

Merry Valentines bye!

[dereban]

[ And thankfully the door isn't too far, so she's going to get up and grab him by the arm-- ]

Oi. Where do you think you're going?

[spacialeyes]

Very far away! I'm so sorry- I wasn't supposed to say it!

[dereban]

. . .Which means you meant it. You don't have to leave, really.

[spacialeyes]

[She knows..!

Yuuto shakes his head. He's staying by the door.]

Th-This is more reason to leave, actually! I can't stay here with those chocolates affecting me if I secretly love you! I'm a menace!

[dereban]

It wasn't really much of a secret.

[spacialeyes]

It wasn't..?

[dereban]

You're pretty obvious, actually. I just didn't say anything because I wanted you to say it for yourself.
