[dereban]

I'm going to worry if you say that, you know.

[ She lets out a sigh but nods and closes her eyes for him. ]

I'll trust you.

[spacialeyes]

[Those are big words coming from Inaba. Yuuto inhales softly with surprise and almost forgets to breathe again.

Slowly, he moves his lips closer to hers-]

… I’ll take good care of that trust, Himeko.

[dereban]

Please do. I'll keep my eyes closed until you tell me otherwise, so... go ahead.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto whispers something intelligible in agreement before catching her lips in a kiss. Trusting her like she trusts him, Yuuto slides his hand up her chest to test how receptive she is to more touching.]

[dereban]

[ She certainly isn't opposed to it in the slightest, as she finds herself humming greedily, slowly lowering herself; after all, he wanted to switch positions, didn't he? ]

[spacialeyes]

[He's grateful for her silent approval as they switch positions; Yuuto trying to lower Inaba to the bed and only breaking the kiss once she's on her back. His gaze lingers on her for a brief second before he leans in to kiss her neck.]

This angle is nice too... Himeko... You're so much.

[dereban]

[ Inaba hums in the kiss, completely satisfied as she allows herself to get lowered. It's only when he breaks it that her voice becomes heated: ]

You really think so?

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto pushes himself up again and nods,] Seeing you like this… I can’t think of anything else. I only want to make you happy… Is that weird?

[dereban]

[ She shakes her head in response to his question. ]

No, it's not weird at all. I... want to make you happy, too.

[spacialeyes]

When I’m with you, I- [He caresses her cheek briefly, then slowly slides his hand down her neck and chest. These thoughts feel strange to put into words.] I can imagine being happy.

That was so hard before…

[dereban]

Just imagine?

[ Inaba says the words with hints of worry in her voice. ]

I don't want you to just imagine being happy, Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

Eh- Oh. [He shakes his head,] Of course I’m happy right now, I-I just…

It feels strange to be so happy? I didn’t know it was possible to feel like this… Being in love is really amazing. My heart feels strange when we’re together.

[dereban]

Then...

[ She brings a hand up to the side of his face. ]

I want you to continue to feel this way. I think you deserve happiness, so if it really feels that strange, then I'll have to continue being there for you so it won't feel strange anymore. It'll just be normal.

[spacialeyes]

[If he knew that his eyes changed colour in that moment, then Yuuto would loathe himself. Because it that moment where he looks into her eyes and believes her, he still asks in the back of his mind-

Do I deserve to be happy?

His eyes change colour for a moment, but he manages to blink it away. It doesn’t matter what he deserves right now. Himeko deserves to be happy. So this can’t be wrong.]

… Mm. I trust you, Himeko. [He offers to lean in for another kiss,] Let’s be happy..?

[dereban]

[ Even if it's almost a blink and you'd miss it moment, Inaba is attentive to him. There's definitely a surprised widening of her eyes, concern expressed in her features, but she tries to relax when it fades. ]

Yeah. I'll make sure that you can be in a world where you can be happy.

[spacialeyes]

[He almost wonders why she looks worried, but the kiss helps to distract him. Yuuto stays closer this time, watching her with a new sort of expression. Even if it's subconscious, he usually doesn't let any sad emotions cross his face. There's some honest sadness as he considers her words.]

... Mm. If you're here, I'm sure I can be? I really love you, Himeko.

[dereban]

Good.

[ She can feel warmth in her chest and she leans in close. ]

And if there's anything that's crushing you... let me help you carry that weight, Yuuto. Because I love you so much as well, too.

[spacialeyes]

Ah... [He doesn't know that she's seen his eyes. He doesn't know how much he'd want to elaborate. He tries not to think about it. Nen and Shigeru know, but not because he wanted to tell them.

Also he's in the middle of trying to make Inaba feel good. Not depress or frighten her.]

... Mm. I'll tell you someday?

[dereban]

I'll wait patiently for when you want to tell me, then. For now... let's keep going?

[spacialeyes]

Himeko... Thank you. [He lowers himself on top of her, pinning her under his body when he kisses her next,] I love you.

[dereban]

Mm... you showed the same consideration for me, after all. It's only fair.

[spacialeyes]

We’re both the same, huh..? We’re…

[It takes him a moment to get the word out. Because to say it means admitting that he has a problem.]

… We were both hurting, huh? Maybe like this, we can heal a little. That’s what I wish, at least.

[dereban]

Yeah.

[ Her voice is quiet. ]

But right now... let's not think about it anymore.

[spacialeyes]

Yeah… You want a bit more before we have to leave, hm? [He tilts his head when leaning in to kiss her by her ear. Settling into the moment, Yuuto lowers his voice to a breathy whisper,] I want more too, Himeko.

[dereban]

...

[ She pouts a little bit. ]

Let me be greedy, Yuuto. Give me...more of you?
