Ah... your place? Is that okay?

[ It has him a little nervous, but if she wants to go there, then he doesn't mind. They've hung out at his place before, but he has roommates. It's different. ]

[dereban]

You don't want to?

[ If this wasn't voice, she'd be pouting right now. But it's rather easy to tell that she is, a little, by the slight disappointment in her voice. ]

[swirlied]

[ He shakes his head, even though she can't see him right now. ]

No, no! That's not what I mean. [ And Yuuri pauses, trying to gather his thoughts. ] I've just... never really gone to a girl's house, you know?

[dereban]

Well, it's pretty much the same as any other person's house, you know? And it's not like I"m going to kill you or anything.

[swirlied]

Ah... that's true. I'll be there soon.

[ And just as he says, about twenty minutes later he's knocking on the door. ]

[dereban]

[ And when he knocks on the door, Inaba eventually opens the door still in her pajamas, part of her hair tied into a side braid. Her cheeks are slightly red, but there's a reason for it. Since it's just a little embarrassing, her gaze shifts away from Yuuri, but this is what she's decided. ]

Y-Yo...

[swirlied]

[ He's already nervous enough, but when she opens the door his face immediately turns a deep shade of red. ]

H-Hey. Did I get here too early? I... I can wait out here if you want.

[dereban]

Y-You didn't. I just... since you were coming... I wanted to wear something a little. Was it too much?

[ She's blushing but now she's peering up to look at him in the eye, noting his red cheeks. ]

[swirlied]

[ He shakes his head. ]

N-No it's not. [ And he glances away from her. ] You look cute.

[dereban]

You really think so?

[ But she wants him to look at her more, so she'll take a few steps closer to him, grabbing Yuuri by the arm as she presses her body against him. ]

I did it all for you, so... it makes me happy when you say that.

[swirlied]

[ The air around him heats up, reacting to his embarrassment as she gets closer. ]

I'm... I'm glad to hear that.

[dereban]

Really?

[ Inaba's eyes widen ever so slightly out of surprise, her lips parting somewhat in a slight gasp before she decides to bury her head in his shoulder. ]

It's really embarrassing for me to say, you know. And to do this much... it's also embarrassing.

[swirlied]

[ He smiles, bringing up his hand to rest it lightly on her shoulder. ]

I appreciate it though. You didn't have to but... I'm glad you're thinking of me.

[ And it's his turn to blush again, embarrassed to even say that much. ]

[dereban]

[ She raises her head a little bit, looking at him directly before her gaze shifts away. Okay, yeah, this is definitely more than a little embarrassing. And it shows in the bubble hearts that start to appear around her. ]

I... I'm glad. [ Anyway. She should take a step back first. ] You should come inside, though. Did you want me to make you some tea?

[swirlied]

[ He nods. ]

Yeah, if you don't mind making some.

[dereban]

I don't.

[ At the very least, Inaba is earnest about this point as she takes steps further into her own apartment; it's very clean and it's obvious that she takes care of it. It even looks modern, as there's a hallway that leads into a rather spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with a staircase that leads into her room. ]

You don't mind green tea, do you? It's the only one I have that's not... emotion related.

[swirlied]

Green tea is just fine.

[ And he follows her to the kitchen, occasionally pausing to take a look around. Her home is actually a lot like how he'd imagined it. ]

[dereban]

Alright.

[ She'll definitely be going right on ahead and making tea for the both of them; it's a rather plain and simple thing to do, so all she has to do is pour it out, placing it on the table. ] Anyway, go ahead and have a seat, if you don't mind.

[swirlied]

Yeah, I'll do that.

[ And he moves back into the living room, taking a seat on the couch. He's a little nervous about being here still, but it feels just like always for the most part. ]

[dereban]

H-- Here.

[ She'll just set the cups of tea on the table before taking a seat next to him. ]

Let me know how it is. [ Damn it. It's hard to start up a conversation. ] Also, ah... what do you think? Of my place. I wasn't completely sure how to design it, so I just went simple.

[swirlied]

I like it a lot. It's actually kinda how I imagined it.

[ He takes a sip of the tea, smiling at her. ]

The tea's great, by the way.

[dereban]

Really?

[ Inaba's eyes widen ever so slightly, her cheeks flushing a bit. ]

That makes me kind of happy... [ Her lips curve into a slight smile before she finds herself gasping. ] Not that I would be mad if you didn't like it-!! I just... Uuu. I'm glad you like the tea, though.

[swirlied]

[ His smile widens as he sets the cup back down. ]

I think I would've liked it no matter what, you know. [ He pauses. ] The tea or your apartment. I always thought you'd be good at decorating and things like that.

[dereban]

Ah, really?

[ Inaba gazes away, slightly embarrassed as she rubs at the nape of her neck a little awkwardly. ]

Well, I appreciate it. Decorating isn't exactly my forte; I just like keeping things neat. Not that I have too much, since the technology here's a bit outdated...

[swirlied]

It is... I wish they at least had stereos here or something...

[ He shrugs. ] Still, you did a good job with what you had.
