[ Even if he is oblivious, Inaba is not, so there's definitely a surprised noise that escapes her lips and shows in her expression.

It isn't bad, but she sure was caught off guard. ]

[spacialeyes]

[It takes Yuuto a second to figure out what she is reacting to. His eyes trail down to his belt and he sees it snaking around her leg- And he breaks the kiss, consciously willing his belt to go limp again and then grabbing it to move it away.

Small items around them might have just jolted up in the air to match his surprise.]

Sorry..! I got carried away..! Are you okay?

[dereban]

I'm fine, I was just surprise--

[...]

Nothing broke just then, did it?

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto is so embarrassed and upset that his anxiety begins to take over. He begins to move off of her, intending to get up and look.]

I-I can check! I’m sorry- My soul is just- I’m focused again! Sorry!

[dereban]

It's okay... I mean, it can't be helped, really. It isn't as if I can nullify things anymore.

[spacialeyes]

I still..! [His tail swishes with anxiety.] “Anymore..?” Is there a way that I could turn off my power? I wonder if that would be safe…

[dereban]

Ah... well, when I was at the Foundation I had a nullification ability through touch that I got from a fortune cookie.

[spacialeyes]

So if I get fortune cookies, we can makeout?

[dereban]

It was a special one from that world. And I... don't want to be like that anymore.

[spacialeyes]

I meant for me..? It’s not your job to put up with my… quirks.

[At least he isn’t outright leaving the couch anymore. Yuuto sits down and sighs.]

You don’t have to change.

[dereban]

Ah.

[ That's a huge weight off her back at least. ]

Well, the fortune cookies don't guarantee anything and they can actually kill you if you're unlucky.

[ Spoken casually as if she were talking aboit the weather. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Surprisingly, Yuuto doesn't seem to hear that part. Probably because he's too hopeful.]

But if it worked, then you'd be able to be happier?

[dereban]

Well, it's less "if it works" and more... "if you get the right cookie". But again, those jist aren't things here, I think.

[spacialeyes]

I guess that’s true… Well. It’s fine. I’ll just… Focus more?

[dereban]

...will you be okay doing that?

[spacialeyes]

That’s all that I can do, so… Mm. It’s fine.

[He does lean slightly in her direction, testing her present boundaries.]

I think being with you is worth it..?

[dereban]

...sorry for being so selfish.

[spacialeyes]

I don't see it that way..? I like you as you are, you know?

[Yuuto turns his head to kiss her cheek.]

Actually, I think I'm in love with you.

[dereban]

I...

[ She swallows hard. ]

I love you, too. So... show me more of your love, Yuuto?

[spacialeyes]

Mm… If I get carried away again- [He takes her hand and moves it to his cheek, his smile relaxing and his voice taking a teasing tone;] Pinch me? So I wake up? And know I’m not dreaming.

[dereban]

...Okay. And you do just mean with your powers, right? Getting carried away in... other ways... is fine with me.

[spacialeyes]

I don’t know if you know this… [Yuuto does begin to lean in for a kiss again, pausing with his lips barely touching hers,] But you’re very distracting. I can’t focus on anything but you… My love is soul deep.

If I’m not careful, my power will still… [His voice trails off. He doesn’t want to think about it.]

[dereban]

Am I really...?

[ She doesn't mind being distracting, but: ]

I'm not really doing much right now, though.

[spacialeyes]

Eheh. If I elaborate, I think you might scold me for being sappy.

[Yuuto grins, not yet closing the small remaining distance for a kiss.]

So maybe… Trust me? If that’s permissible..

[dereban]

I probably would, but... I wouldn't be unhappy about it.
