[dereban]

Stay still for a sec.

[ And with that being said, she'll lean in and steal a kiss from him, right on the lips. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto is caught off guard. First by the kiss, but then by how easily he relaxes and returns it. After the fact of which, he finds himself looking into her eyes and brushing her cheek with his finger. His brain has gone to mush, so he repeats the only thing he's certain is true right now.]

I love you...

[dereban]

[ She leans back a bit after that, smiling with both something soft, but there's also clear confidence playing across her lips as well. ]

Mmmhm. I heard you the first time.

[spacialeyes]

Mmmm. [He's not sure what else to say. Or do, really. Except watch her and soak in the moment.] Should I stop saying it..?

[dereban]

No.

[ She shakes her head at his question; after all, hearing him say that so earnestly... it's warm. ]

You don't have to. But if you do keep on saying it, I'm going to have to pay you back in kind.

[spacialeyes]

Oh.

[He thinks on that for a second. Is it a threat or a good thing? He's not sure.



he's into it either way.

So Yuuto strokes her cheek again, testing this new territory.]

I love you. I don't think I'll get tired of saying it..?

[dereban]

[ It's probably a bit of both, because she'll lean in close, lips near his ear as she whispers a few words in his ear: ]

I love you, too.

[ It's genuine, those words. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto is reminded that he poisoned himself with chocolate. He isn't sure poison is a bad thing anymore. The effect is made apparent by a shivering inhale, then a shaky exhale as he fails to play it cool. This time, he makes no attempt to look away even as his face reddens.]

Haa... haha. Still... Still poisoned... It's sort of nice..?

[dereban]

Well, I wouldn't call it poison at that point, then. But you really like that, hm?

[spacialeyes]

Hahaa... W-Well. I'm a masochist, right? S, so... My opinion of a poison would be skewed..? [this is a terrible thing to joke about when maomao exists in your social circle.]

[dereban]

Honestly, if you were any worse you would have eaten one of the other chocolates now, too.

[spacialeyes]

Fuck, that's right. I got you a whole box of these.

[...]

I-I mean. That's right. I'm sorry.

[dereban]

You can curse all you want, I really don't give a damn.

[spacialeyes]

Ah... 'kay.

I really owe you proper chocolate now, huh..? I-I thought... if we weren't- Mmm. Homemade would be rude of me...

[dereban]

Ah, actually... hold a second. Wait here for a bit.

[ She gets up and heads to the kitchen to grab something before coming back with a small bag. ]

Here. I was planning on just giving this to you tomorrow, but- you probably need something normal right now.

[spacialeyes]

Hmm? You were going to see me tomorrow? But it's Valentines Day?

[and they were just friends 30 minutes ago.]

[dereban]

I was just going to give you this girichoco that I made and leave. That's all.

[spacialeyes]

Ah... W-Well. You could always stay..? And eat some with me...

Are all of the ones that I gave you poisoned?

[dereban]

I didn't want to be a bother; I thought you'd have plans with your other partners tomorrow.

[ Which is why she just wanted to come and go. ]

Looks like all of these have effects on them, but they're different depending on which one.

[spacialeyes]

I've been so busy finding presents that I forgot to make any plans.

[He's also generally unsure of how this holiday works without his mother. Context is important.]

Should... I eat another? I wonder if they stack in effectiveness. [now is not a time to live by the scientific method.]

[dereban]

If you eat the same one, maybe. The other ones have different effects.

[spacialeyes]

I was mostly joking... If I stacked them, I might be embarrassing when I hear your voice.

[Cautiously, Yuuto leans closer.]

Sitting like this is already so much. Listening to your voice is nice even without chocolate.

[dereban]

"Mostly"... now I kind of want to see.

[spacialeyes]

[He realizes that he walked into that one. And it isn’t like he’s opposed. Though he does look somewhat shy for the seconds he spends wondering how he would react to her whispers after two chocolates. Will even her speaking voice set his heart racing?

This is a terrible time to be curious.]

… Okay. I-I can try… If um. [His power reaches for the box to bring it closer.] You’ll be the only voice I hear..?

[dereban]

That's fine with me. It wasn't as if I had anything else to do today.
