[dereban]

[ She's definitely some sort of distracted, given how red her face is and how she seems to loosen up a little. ]

Yeah... feel free to. I want you to distract me.

[spacialeyes]

[He eases up too. Enough to smile softly when he pulls back again, his eyes glowing pink. Small objects in the room are in danger of floating as his thoughts focus exclusively on her.]

It's too late to pin you to the wall, huh? This'll have to do? [If she wants, Yuuto will help lower her back on their shared couch so that he can pin her.] I love you, Himeko... All of you.

[dereban]

It's... only too late because you're doing this.

[ She will lower herself, face completely flushed. ]

Even if I'm like this?

[spacialeyes]

Sorry… I’m not very good at resisting the rain, huh..? [His expression softens and he moves his hand to caress her cheek.] Mm. I love you…

To me, the person in front of me is very precious… You need both positive and negative space to have a form. So I love them both, too. I love everything that makes you “Inaba Himeko.”

[dereban]

You'd probably want to do this even without the rain.

[ She leans into his touch, trying to press her forehead against his own. ]

Geez. Even if 'everything' isn't real...?

[spacialeyes]

["Ah." Yuuto feels cold.

He doesn't have the tools to understand the context of what she's saying. But the one tool that is in his arsenal is his ex. He remembers when they broke up with him, telling him that he wasn't 'who' why wanted. That the 'everything' they had together wasn't real, but a way to briefly entertain them.

There's no way that Himeko would think that. He tries to reassure himself. But he still can't shake the chill.]

... Mm. If it... If your happiness is real, that's enough for me.

[dereban]

I--

[ ... ]

I am happy being like this, with you. And I do love you, too. Those feelings are... they're real. But 'me', as a person, I...

[ Her expression seems troubled as she trails off. ]

[spacialeyes]

[He's embarrassed when she addresses his unspoken concerns. Is it that obvious..?

But there's no time to linger. She's saying things again. Yuuto pushes closer to kiss her cheek,] Should I keep your mouth busy, or..?

[Is she saying that because she wants to?]

[dereban]

[ She nods, wanting to keep close. ]

Distract me more, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

Mm. Until it wears off..? [His kiss covers her lips again and he lowers himself on top of her, pinning her to the couch as best that he can,] I love you...

[dereban]

Mm...

[ She shakes her head at his question, and it's only when he breaks the kiss: ]

More than that. Let me be selfish.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto can’t help but laugh quietly over how honest she is.]

Always. You can always be selfish with me, Himeko.

I don’t need rain to make me want to fulfill your wishes.

[dereban]

Is it really that funny... [ Inaba pouts a little bit, cheeks slightly puffed. ] I was serious, you know. About being distracted more, and just wanting you.

[spacialeyes]

I know you’re serious… It’s cute.

[Yuuto pushes himself up, holding his body over hers and meeting her eyes. There’s a light glow to his eyes as he admits:]

It makes me want you more… Himeko. I like it when you look at me like you want me.

[dereban]

Don't say that... it's embarrassing. And it isn't like. I do want you. I want you really badly, please--

[ Her voice may have pitched a bit out of desperation. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto answers by covering her mouth with another kiss, pressing closer to deepen it. He only breaks it to breathe, and even then he keeps close to her.]

I won’t let you think of anything else. Just… Just me? Is that okay..?

[dereban]

Mmm...

[ There's a pleasant hum of desire as she smiles. ] Yeah. Let me just think of you. Anything more than that... can be shelved for later.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto inhales softly with surprise. He hadn't been ready for her to agree. Everything feels comfortably warm as he presses another kiss to her mouth and whispers between kisses,]

If that's your wish... Yeah. I'll grant it, Himeko. Whatever you want.

[dereban]

Mmm...

[ ... ]

And after, I'll explain what I meant. But for now... touch me more?

[spacialeyes]

If that's what you want. [Though he is still aware, in the back of his mind, that they're using a private room in a shop. Modesty is a concern as he drags a hand across her chest. Temptation colours his eyes with a pink glow as he meets her eyes.] I'll think of only you too, okay?

[dereban]

It is- and... um. You don't have to hesitate, if that's what you want.

[spacialeyes]

I don't know what I'm supposed to want. [He says it so bluntly, without realizing how troubling is lack of identity can be.

Yuuto still struggles to understand himself outside of other peoples' perceptions.] But if it's something that you want..?

[dereban]

[ Inaba's expression softens, a worried look in her hazel brown eyes. ]

I do want it, but... I don't want to force my wants onto you if you don't know, either.

[spacialeyes]

[It still surprises him to have considerate partners now. Yuuto hesitates for only a moment as he sorts through his thoughts. Then he shyly rolls his thumb across the center of her chest to test her reaction.]

I want you to be happy... I want that the most right now. Is that allowed?

[dereban]

Ah-

[ Her cheeks tinge pink before she quietly nods her head. ]

That's fine.
