We'd have to look at places and price points. . . there's definitely a few things that I'd want if I am moving out of the starter apartments. We probably will have to get at least three bedrooms, for one.

[ Especially since she is very aware of Yuuto's... sleeping problems that she can't exactly deal with, given that she doesn't have her nullification abilities anymore. ]

What kind of job were you thinking of getting, anyway?

[spacialeyes]

Three?

[He does fill in the gaps a second later and answer his own question. Unless he finds a way to cut off his power then he’s going to be a hazard to her in a shared room.

There isn’t time to be sad about that though! She didn’t shoot down the idea of him getting a normal job! And while Yuuto knew that she wouldn’t, it’s still nice to have his trust justified.]

I haven’t thought that far ahead, really. Maybe I could help in a book store..? Or get a job at a bank or something. Accounting sounds like a thing that I could learn…

[dereban]

Yeah. I don't have my nullification, so it would probably be safer for us to have separate rooms. The third one would be a guest bedroom for emergencies.

[ She hums thoughtfully to herself before: ]

Working at a bookstore would be OK if you don't turn into your father.

[spacialeyes]

Immediately sharing- a... bed every night! Th-that would be sort of sudden anyway, right? I've never been in a serious relationship before, but...

[As disappointed as he is, most of that disappointment comes from the fact that his power made the decision for them. It's a stinging reminder of how things might go in Yokohama.]

I don't know if there's a danger of me becoming like my father. I'm not nearly that competent. [Mikale and Satou would argue that that's a good thing-] But a bookstore could be fun, mm. I've never had enough time to read for fun. Maybe I could find something interesting here.

[dereban]

How is sharing a bed any worse than...

[ She trails off, given that they're still in public. ]

Well, good. You're better off that way.

[spacialeyes]

Don't say worse- It would be amazing!

[He shuts up there.]

My father really left a strong impression on you, I see.

[dereban]

I meant 'worse' in the 'embarrassing' aspect. For you.

[ She points that out before sighing. ]

I'm not exactly fond of your family, you know.

[spacialeyes]

I don’t get embarrassed very easily…

[He says, while curling his longer hair nervously about his finger.]

Sorry. I wish you could like them more. They’re my family after all… [And for a long time, they were all that he had.] I erased them again, huh..?

[Not wanting to linger on that sad realization, Yuuto changed the subject.]

Sleeping together sometimes would be nice, though..? Maybe I can find a way to control my power while I’m here. I don’t want to be in your way.

[dereban]

Sure you don't.

[ You can practically hear the sarcasm dripping off every syllable that she speaks.

She shakes her head in response to the whole thing. ]

I'm not going to like everyone. Honestly... [ And for a moment, there's something cold in her words. ] I probably dislike people more than I like them, in most cases. But a lot of that has to do with the way I am, really. It's no fault of yours.

[ That being said: ]

Well, if you do, I'd be glad as well.

[spacialeyes]

… mm. I know that.

[Though he sounds disappointed, it isn’t out of dislike for Inaba. Something he’s quick to remind her by squeezing her hand lightly.]

You try so hard to understand others. It’s not fair that they don’t always try as hard to understand you in return.

[He sighs.]

Enough being stressed though! We have wine to drink. I’m excited to try new things with you, Himeko.

[dereban]

[ For a moment, Inaba's about to open her mouth, to remind him that her trying to understand others isn't exactly for kind reasons... but she refrains, instead squeezing Yuuto's hand in return. ]

Why is drinking the one new thing that you're excited to do with me? Be more excited about other things.

[spacialeyes]

If I get too excited then my belt might start to wag like a tail!

[He says, like that isn’t always happening anyway.]

Are you looking forward to anything else tonight, Himeko?

[dereban]

You say that as if it isn't.

[ She can and will always call Yuuto out when the opportunity arises. ]

I didn't have any other big plans, honestly...

[spacialeyes]

Hmm… Well, I am hoping to kiss you again tonight.

[Other expected things from Yuuto.]

I will try to think of other things. Right now, I’m just grateful to be here.

[dereban]

How is that a surprising thing...

[ She finds herself sighing again until they finally reach her place. ]

[spacialeyes]

If that's disappointing then I won't?

[He'll wait patiently to be let in. Despite what he said, his tail is already beginning to wag slowly.]
