[... not the straightest of faces]

He has to leave sometime.

He has a weapon, though.

[. . . you're right. I should have taken the guns away. 8|;;]

--it should be fine.

[Because that would have gone well]

It will. She likes you.

I don't mind her... but I'm also more used to that type.

What do you think?

[Headtilt]

Of? Yukari?

Her. Or the the situation in general.

["Hilarious" is probably not a good answer here]

I think it's wonderful that someone else has taken such an interest in your well-being.

Even if she goes about it in very odd ways.

[too many people have an interest...]

That's true...

But she also knows when there are boundaries. [giving his arm a squeeze] Notice how she's let us enjoy our time alone?

[dryly...]

We'll have to pay Yukari-sama proper respects for such a priviledge.

But you're right. Being able to enjoy time with you...

A real date, just like in romantic stories.

[And as she says it, she seems to be tugging you into one of the secluded, unused buildings on the fourth level]

[okay, yes. following along with that]

Just like them, huh.

... No. Better. Because this story is for us.

[And you probably don't even know when she snuck off to do it, but when you get inside, you see that she's littered the building with tiny candles and fairy lights, in a very stereotypically romantic novel fashion]

[. . . that moment when you're well aware you're just not worth any of this...

but it. really does make you happy]

This is...

Chapter one.

The prologue is finally complete.

Shall we begin?

[

]

. . . mm. From here.

[Picking up one of the fairy lights and tucking it behind his ear, so that she can see his face in the dim lighting]

Then, this is where I say "once upon a time..."?

... that would make it sound like something that's already ended.

Mm, would it?

[Tugging the blanket away from him so she can spread it out]

Then how about simply, "I love you".

[well, that. makes it easier to pull the blanket from him.

just staying quiet for a moment, trying not to think too hard on reasons she shouldn't...]

Even now...?

[Pulling him down with her once the blanket is laid out. Resolutely;]

Always.

[sitting next to her and. yes. wrapping arms around. more firmly than he's been capable of since they've been in Thusia]

I'm glad..

[In some ways, that's really the best part of this entire evening. Leaning into it happily]

We have plenty of other dates we need to go on, after all. Perhaps one day there will be a beach we can walk along.

[resting head against hers]

... the best part being that it'd be a first for us both, in this place.

Discovering these things together... [Like the world is new again for you, even if it's just for a moment]

I can't think of anything I'd want more.
