I don't usually send messages about kissing to my friends.

[spacialeyes]

I don’t know what you’re talking about

That never happened

Please…

I don’t want to ruin this for Inaba.

[loveedition]

You're not going to ruin anything.

She probably already knows what's going on anyway.

[spacialeyes]

probably…

maybe i won’t text anyone today. in person only.

we should sign off before it happens again.

[loveedition]

Sure. Though while it's working, anything that's a lot less embarrassing that you'd want me to ask her?

[spacialeyes]

Ask her?

Are you going to visit her or play roulette by trying to text her?

[loveedition]

I'm sitting at her place. Right now.

[spacialeyes]

[AAAAA]

Please

Help her relax.

With this being a ‘network’ problem, I’m sure she will feel like she needs to do something to fix it. She always works so hard.

Please have a relaxing visit.

[loveedition]

It's okay. We're talking about this game. I'm sure she'll be right back to figuring things out after I leave, but that's just who she is.

If she starts trying to hide yawns, I'll bop her. Just for you.

[spacialeyes]

Thank you.

Hopefully by the time that you leave, I'll have figured out what's happening and she won't have to worry about it.

Please have fun. I'll get to work.

[loveedition]

And when do I get to ask YOU to relax and not work so hard?

[spacialeyes]

When I'm done working?

[loveedition]

[ Her text just went elsewhere, and now she's tired. ]

Please relax when you get a moment.

I'll make sure Inaba-san relaxes at some point.

Don't make music about kissing with your friends.

[spacialeyes]

I'M NOT GOING TO KISS INABA

SHE'D KILL ME FIVE TIMES AT LEAST

[loveedition]

If she didn't, I would.

Joking.

[ Sending that instantly. ]

I'm glad that you guys are comfortable enough together to work on something like this though?

[spacialeyes]

do all of my friends want to kill me??

I think that I am too? It still feels a little weird, but

if Inaba doesn't mind, then I can get over that.

[loveedition]

Only sometimes. Joking again.

I don't think I ever asked, but when you two first became friends... was it like this?

nsfw implied

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto doesn’t reply immediately. That question is strange. It forces him to think about a past year, which has never happened to him before.]

No, not quite. I definitely always felt more at ease around Inaba than anyone else.

But I’ve changed a lot. I can even love the ‘me’ that isn’t enough more than the ‘Yuuto’ who would have made her happy. I don’t think I would be able to do that before.

And I can talk about kissing and other stuff* with someone without combusting, so that’s different. I don’t think I’ve ever read as much of this adult romancey novel stuff as I have while doing research for Inaba.

Spending a lot of time with Inaba sure makes you different! Be careful! ☆

[loveedition]

[ ..............................

She. Really wanted to believe that Taiga was just exaggerating. So all of the wholesome stuff just gets pushed aside so she can say: ]

I sure hope you're researching that in your own room.

[spacialeyes]

No, I get the books from the library.

I don’t have a room anyway.

[loveedition]

[ ...If she keeps going down this road, she's going to get upset, so she'd better just. Focus. ]

I'm kind of envious of that, though.

I don't know how much I've changed in the last couple of years, but being able to find someone that I can be comfortable with just all out... keeps my feet on the ground. Sometimes, that's all I need.

As long as they're comfortable around me too.

[ Which...

... A thought creeps into her head, but she tries to bat it away. It's not important, and it's dumb to begin with. ]

[spacialeyes]

Isn’t Aisaka-san like that for you, though? You seemed brighter during Christmas when you worked together.

[loveedition]

[ ...... ]

She is, yeah. I'm happier around her, though... I don't think we're at the point where we can talk about any of that stuff, honestly.

[spacialeyes]

Do you want to be?

[loveedition]

I've already asked a lot of her to begin with. I don't mind going at her pace for a little while.
