[He almost trips over his own feet,] Ah- Auuu! N-Not like that- Well, yes, like that, but also- M-More like!!!

"Whoa, I don't hate myself anymore!"

[dereban]

That reaction was worth saying that...

[ She lets out a breathy laugh, her expression softening. ]

That's good. You should be able to love yourself, too.

[spacialeyes]

Ehe... It's a bit more than that.

[Yuuto begins to subconsciously fiddle with the new ring on his finger.]

This body feels like "mine" now... It's kind of a weird feeling. Someone likes me.

[dereban]

[ He's getting a light noogie now. ]

Geez. Of course I like you. If I have to say it a million times, I will.

[spacialeyes]

Huuu- [Yuuto gasps in surprise, but doesn’t protest. It feels nice. Being close enough to someone to get scolded feels really nice.] S- Sorry! I know! I-I feel loved, I do, I just… I’m not used to it yet.

I never thought I’d get to feel this way.

[dereban]

Geez... well, get used to it, then. We don't have to go to the water park today, though; I know you probably want to meet up with your other partners, too.

[spacialeyes]

Huh..? Oh. [He shakes his head and steps closer to take her hand.] I already made plans to be with you today. So you’re stuck with me.

[dereban]

If you're really okay with it. You only have one birthday a year, after all.

[spacialeyes]

[And he knows that this might be his last. It's a miracle that he's spent a year in one place and he doesn't expect for it to happen again.

Because of that, he changes his grip on her hands and threads their fingers together.]

Mm. I want to be with you for as much time as I can.

[dereban]

Well, since it is your birthday, you're allowed to be as selfish as you want.

[spacialeyes]

Thank you. I’ll do my best! [And he kisses the side of her head to show just how happy he is.] Though actually… I don’t know if can swim.

[dereban]

...Hm? Ah, well, water parks don't just have swimming attractions. And if you need help, I can assist at least.

[spacialeyes]

Really? But it's a big swimming pool, right?

O-Oh and you don't have to. It's better for me to drown alone than take someone with me?

[dereban]

Only part of the area would be the swimming pool...

[...]

I'm not letting you drown, dumbass. I know how to swim pretty well, so I can at least steady you.

[spacialeyes]

Ehehe... My hero..! I-I'll try to be okay..? I really don't want to accidentally hurt you.

[Though he is less nervous about drowning now.]

Swimsuit, then? I wonder what kind I should get? I'll have to wear something to cover my scars too...

[dereban]

Hmmm... you could get a two-piece swim trunks and shirt combo?

[spacialeyes]

If it’s allowed? I don’t want to ruin anyone’s day with my body… I’ll follow your lead, I think… Maybe um… Matching…

[dereban]

Of course it's allowed--

[...]

If you want to match though, that shouldn't be too difficult.

[spacialeyes]

I’d like to do that… Then people will know that we’re together..?

[dereban]

Mm.

[ It's not her first time getting something matching, but the fact that it's going to be something that is more obvious definitely makes her heart race like crazy. ]

I'd like that, too. Um... I'll make sure to pick out something nice, then.

[spacialeyes]

[His tail does wag a bit with happiness. Yuuto is also happy to imagine matching, though in his case, he likes feeling like he belongs.]

I will be in your care. I know nothing about fashion. [He gestures to his outfit, smile becoming sheepish.] I don’t usually wear anything other than this.

[Because he needs to look like Yumeno Yuuto. He won’t belong anywhere if he doesn’t.]

[dereban]

Well, we'll have to change that, then. Although part of it is a bit selfish on my part...

[spacialeyes]

Really? How is it selfish?

[dereban]

Because I want to see you in other outfits.

[spacialeyes]

Au..? Is there something specific..? I hope my current outfit isn’t disappointing. I could have changed.
