[Yuuto nods slightly in understanding. He wouldn't expect people who are good with magic to necessarily want to take something like this. He's called them 'poison' because that's essentially what they are; Chocolates the disrupt the body's chemistry, even if he is learning to like it.]

... Was there an effect that caught your eye? I-I. Um. [He hesitates. Willing to eat anything if she'd enjoy the result, sure, but aware of how nice it feels. Yuuto wants her to feel a similar rush.] I can try to replicate it without magic for you..?

[dereban]

Huh-- y-you don't need to do that! We don't need to do any of the other effects!

[spacialeyes]

But you want to hold onto the chocolates for a reason, right? I can whisper in your ear?

[dereban]

And I already told you that the chocolates are meant for that, you know--!

[spacialeyes]

But we've used this one..? [He smiles shyly, not wanting to push it.] If you won't be happy then mm. We don't have to do anything else. Just sitting like this... Your voice is nice.

[dereban]

[ She just reaches over, grabs the pillow closest to her and uses it to hide her flustered expression. ]

Saying it like that... you can't say something like that.

[spacialeyes]

[She’s so cute. Yuuto can’t help but smile.]

You’d be mad if I lied though. Here. Let’s lay down?

[dereban]

You're right- I would. [ She says as she just falls onto the bed mattress. ] But it's been a while since someone's said something like that to me. It's embarrassing.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto slowly lays down next to her, turned to face her while they talk.]

Do you want for me to stop?

[dereban]

[ With a bit of a pout in her voice: ]

Not really... it's. Nice.

[spacialeyes]

Is that so..? Then… [He offers to drape an arm around her while they’re laying together.] Is this okay? If we’re closer then I can whisper to you?

[dereban]

Huh... ah, um, yeah. That's fine.

[ If she's red from the closeness, she certainly isn't showing it. ]

[spacialeyes]

Thank you. [This kind of relationship is still new for him, so Yuuto’s embrace is somewhat timid. He nuzzles closer to whisper by her ear.] Is this okay, Himeko?

[dereban]

Mmm... yeah, it's fine.

[ It's more than fine, actually. ]

It's warm, being like this.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto closes his eyes. The chocolate effect seems to have worn off, because he relaxes when he hears her voice this time.]

It is. Do you get cold?

[dereban]

In colder weather, yeah. I usually just huddle up and wear more layers when I have to, though.

[spacialeyes]

Hmm. Then even though it's not necessary to keep you warm, indulge me? I'm so relieved... You don't hate me.

[dereban]

You owe me one later, then.

[spacialeyes]

I’ll give you whatever you like. Just say the word. [Yuuto pauses, then sighs (perhaps in disappointment,) when he notices-] It wore off. That’s the fastest I’ve recovered from poison. Maybe magic chocolate is processed differently.

[dereban]

You can't say that when we're laying down like this. I'll end up wanting something ridiculous.

[spacialeyes]

[He lowers his voice to a curious whisper,] Such as..?

[dereban]

It's embarrassing to say it.

[spacialeyes]

Whisper it..? I don’t think anyone else will hear it.

[dereban]

You're the one I'd be embarrassed saying it to!

[spacialeyes]

Eh? Am I intimidating somehow? [Yuuto still has an arm around her as he tries to meet her gaze,] I won’t judge you. You were nice to me about the chocolates.
