You too… oh. [Yuuto pushes up on his elbows so that he can try to ease his unbuttoned shirt off. It’s an automatic move- One made without much thought- So he’s surprised when it brings him closer to her.

Yuuto freezes. His brain is caught in a loop of liking any closeness and knowing he needs to take off his shirt to get even closer.]

Uh- Auuuu… Being close to you..? Your voice… Being teased- What can I do for you?

[dereban]

. . . it's a bit embarrassing to hear you say that you like my voice when it's not unique at all.

[ She isn't sure if part of what she said there was honesty that she wound up blurting out, but it doesn't really matter right now. ]

Then let's get closer. If I wound up saying what I like or want, I'll end up becoming a puddle of embarrassment.

[spacialeyes]

What if I'd like that too..? If you were... [Yuuto catches himself and bites his tongue, too embarrassed to continue. Being embarrassed together doesn't sound the worst.

Instead, he shifts his body to offer to bring his arms around her,] Close like this, or..?

[dereban]

What kind of stupid statement is that?

[ She huffs a bit, trying to cool herself off a bit. ]

Yeah. Close like that... [ Inaba lowers herself down enough so that her body presses against his own. ] I'm not too heavy, am I?

[spacialeyes]

An honest one? [Yuuto folds his arms around her, bringing one hand behind her head so that he can brush her hair with his fingertips.] Not at all... You feel perfect. This feels nice. [Yuuto sighs contently, accidentally mixed with a whisper of;] Himeko...

[dereban]

[ She leans into his touch, enjoying the closeness and finds herself letting out an elated sigh. ]

I like hearing you say my name like that.

[spacialeyes]

[The sound of her sigh certainly gets him, but Yuuto is too content for much fluster. He laughs quietly instead and continues the slow motion of brushing her hair.]

Mm... It's hard not to. This feels so right.

Are you comfortable too?

[dereban]

Yeah. This is really comfortable. I could just stay like this, nothing else-- ah, wait. Do you mind if I move a little bit?

[spacialeyes]

Me too- Mm? Sure. [Yuuto loosens his hold for now, though he fully intends to hold her properly later.]

[dereban]

If... you want me to stop, just tell me.

[ Because she's going to get into a position so that she can actually lay down on top of him- but more importantly, she wants to see if she can have her ear on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. ]

[spacialeyes]

[It takes him a moment to realize what she’s doing. When he does, she’ll definitely hear his heart beat faster. Yuuto slowly brings his arms around her again, stroking her hair and sighing—]

Himeko… Nn-Nn. This is feels nice… This is really nice. How is it?

[dereban]

I can hear it. It's beating really fast...

[spacialeyes]

[His laugh is shy and soft. Even when he tries to breathe in slowly to calm down, he doesn’t feel his heart rate slow. It’s a strange but comforting feeling to know that she’s listening.]

That’s because I’m holding you… Someone I love you so much. And… you’re listening. It’s a nice kind of embarrassing. It feels good.

Does it feel good for you too?

[dereban]

Yeah.

[ She shuts her eyes a little bit, and... ]

Um, if you want to do the same too, I can move again.

[spacialeyes]

[That thought does seem to catch his interest, but-]

Maybe in a bit..? I want you to hear a bit more… I want you to know how much I love you first, Himeko. [His continues to gently stroke her hair,] You deserve to feel loved…

[dereban]

Mmm... I can tell. It's so comfortable, being this close like this. I want to be even closer.

[spacialeyes]

Hmmm? Like- [Yuuto playfully catches her legs between his, careful not to move her too much as he cuddles her,] This~? I never want to let you go, you know.

[dereban]

Ah-

[ Her face is red, immediately going a bit stiff. ]

We can't stay here forever, Yuuto... this place has to close sometime.

[spacialeyes]

[Her reaction encourages further silliness. As much as he's interested in her offer to switch positions, Yuuto is currently focused on the most important task: Making Himeko happy.

Or embarrassed.

They can be the same thing if you believe.]

I'm Space and Time. I'm sure I could break some rules for the girl that I love~.

[dereban]

Ehh, I didn't know you were actually such a bad boy, Yuuto...

[spacialeyes]

Well, there's someone that I really want. I'd do anything to prove that I love her.

[dereban]

Hmm. Like what, exactly~?

[spacialeyes]

Hmmm... Is there anything that you want? [He gives her a playful squeeze, pressing closer when he adds in a whisper;] My offer was to slow time... But time already feels slower when you're here. You feel like a star, Himeko.

[dereban]

I just want more of you, Yuuto. I want... everything of you. Can I be that selfish just for right now?

[spacialeyes]

I want that too. I want to give you everything, Himeko.

Be as selfish as you want. I'll give you anything you ask for.
