[spacialeyes]

Is it really supposed to be normal?

[dereban]

I don't necessarily know about "normal", but I meant what I said. For me, it's obvious to want to please you, since we're partners.

[spacialeyes]

I appreciate it. [Now that he’s dressed, Yuuto stands and adjusts his ribbon one more time.] Are you good..? Shall we go?

[dereban]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[ She adjusts her outfit a little bit, although she's opted to make sure to wear her more comfortable shoes-- ]

Oh. Make sure to get the umbrellas open, since it'll still be raining outside.

[spacialeyes]

Do you want to share an umbrella~?

[As long as they’re being gross and in love.]

[dereban]

If that's okay, sure.

[spacialeyes]

Yes! That would make me so happy..! I can hold the umbrella steady for you.

[dereban]

You better, because it'll be bad if it flies off.

[spacialeyes]

Mm. It would be bad if I lost control because of the rain, huh?

[dereban]

It would be. You might end up acting weird.

[spacialeyes]

I would. Things might start to float. [So as they step outside, Yuuto opens one of the umbrellas and holds it over Inaba. He’ll correct himself and hold it over them both when she moves closer, but he’s too worried about her to put his self protection into practice.] Is this big enough for us both?

[dereban]

Hold on-

[ She'll scoot a little closer and wrap her arms around his. ]

There. That should be good, right?

[spacialeyes]

[Oh. Yuuto tenses slightly, breathing in deeply to regain his smile.]

Mmm… That’s perfect. [He angles the umbrella to guard them both.] Let’s go. It isn’t far from here, right?

[dereban]

Yeah, it's pretty close, actually.

[spacialeyes]

Once it’s in sight, I can teleport us the rest of the way… [But he also enjoys walking with her like this. It’s a different kind of intimacy.] You were out shopping when I found you… Did you get everything done that you needed to do?

[dereban]

Ah-

[...]

No, it's okay, let's just walk the rest of the way.

[ There's something about her answer that sounded hesitant, almost uncomfortable for a second. ]

Ah, yeah... I managed, at least.

[spacialeyes]

Are you sure? You aren’t cold or anything? [He doesn’t sound disappointed. Yuuto is enjoying the walk.] Thank goodness… I don’t want to distract you too much.

[dereban]

Don't worry, I'll be fine; no worries. Let's just walk the way back.

[spacialeyes]

Yes, please. [Yuuto nearly falls quiet as he enjoys the closeness of their walk. But he knows that his mind will start to spin and he wants to act normal until they’re inside.] The rain is pretty. If it wasn’t such a pain to get wet, I’d want to play with it. Or fall asleep listening to it.

[dereban]

Yeah... unfortunately, I hate this rain.

[spacialeyes]

It’s not a very kind rain, is it..? I don’t need its help to want to kiss you.

[dereban]

It's not. You should want to kiss and pin me down without that.

[spacialeyes]

I do. [He admits quietly,] I don’t have to forget this time?

[dereban]

You don't.

[spacialeyes]

Right… Then um- When we get inside… I’ll be ready, so! Mm. [He’s thinking about it too much now. He’s got to be prepared!]
