[Yuuto laughs softly, settling his tears with a more sincere smile. It feels good to know that she loves both sides of him. Even if she didn't fully mean it in a way that reassured him that he was completely loved, that's how he hears it.]
Thank you... I love you, Himeko. [Cursed Joke Time:] Nya? I guess?
Oh..! [He's definitely going to tense with nerves when she starts looking at the sex toys he bought. Especially since he's not very experienced and just got whatever was recommended. And he somehow gets more flustered when it comes to the scarf.]
S-Sorry. I'm still not very good at knitting, but um... It's a tradition back home, so... I made you one..!
[ She does eye his reaction with a bit of amusement, grinning from ear to ear before taking a closer look at the scarf - what color is it and is there any embroidery at all? ]
[Yuuto is caught between watching her expression for approval or staring at his feet. The scarf, at least, is well made: Purple with some traces of pink and a purple star embroidered into it.]
You really don't have to if you dislike it though... Sorry. The star... might have been overstepping..?
I’m glad… [Yuuto relaxes, though his smile remains shy.] I am glad that it will keep you warm. You’re very important to me, after all… Even if the other things turn out to be of no use, I hope the scarf can help…
Then if you are not opposed, I would be delighted to “chill” with you. I was hoping for that, actually… I want nothing more than to soak in your presence-
Ah. But it’s not about me, okay? I also want to spoil you.
Then we'll have to change that, right? When we're together, things that are sad and normal always seem to change in a nice way... I'll do the same for you.
[ She finds herself laughing a little bit, fondness in her smile and expression as she squeezes his hand, trying to ground herself in spite of her fingers trembling slightly. ]
Thank you. We can make a new 'normal' together. So! Do you want to play a game first or watch a movie?
[Yuuto does notice the slight tremble of her hands, but decides not to address it directly. If Inaba wanted to talk about it, then she would. Instead, he indirectly acknowledges it by running his fingers across hers; Acting as if he’s warming her hands.]
It’s your birthday, so your choice… But I’d be happy to sit together and watch a movie. The only one I am familiar with is the witch delivery movie.

[ Her response is so flat at that joke. ]
Anyway, you did say you brought me stuff, right?
no subject
Yes! It's in the gift bag... Ah, um! But like I said. You don't have to look at it all right away...
[Since he did go out and do the shopping she had suggested. In addition to knitting her a purple and pink scarf, though he's shy to bring that up.]

[ She absolutely is going to look through it all, he can't stop her! ]

At least I'll be kept warm this upcoming month.

I hope they're useful to you though..? I did my best to find interesting things, uh... [Talking about this is so embarrassing.] Never mind.

Why are you going 'never mind'? Did you have something else to say?

[After giving her hands one last reassuring squeeze, Yuuto releases them.]
What movie is it? Is there something special about Christmas movies?
