N-no, it's not...! [Oh God, she doesn't get it. Of course she wouldn't... He knows he's probably pretty far gone when he finds it endearing more than anything else.
But Hinata sighs a little. The red that's been on his face since before hasn't left yet, and thinking about this doesn't bring it anywhere closer to fading.] I do still want to play games with you, it's just... [He thinks about trying to explain it, for a moment. Then promptly lets the thought die.] No, never mind. I just... thought of something dumb, it's fine.
[He lets his thumb swipe the back of her hand, and that makes his heartbeats pick up almost as much as the thought of going in her room did.] I really am happy with you, though. And that's why it's fine, because I'll be happy no matter what we do together.
[It still catches him a little off guard, if he stops to think about it. No one else has brought him happiness like this before.
With Nanami... She makes him feel alive like no one else has before.]
[ Nanami only continues to look at him in confusion as he fumbles for the right words to say, but she decides to drop the issue when he tells her not to mind it. Boys could really be strange sometimes...but now that she knows there's no problem, she continues to walk. It's not that far from her room, so they arrive in a matter of seconds.
She doesn't let go of his hand just yet, though. She faces him and lets their arms swing a bit, quiet for a moment. Even though she just heard him say it moments before, it still warms her heart to hear him say again that he enjoys spending time with her. Is this what love is...? She's never felt this way before, and quite frankly she's always been bad with the emotion. Even dating sims, where the characters were fictional, she was never good at love. However, Hinata's different. Being with him opened her eyes to what love was. With him, for once she doesn't feel scared or nervous; everything feels natural with him.
That's why she leans up a bit, close to his face, looking into his eyes. Ah, she feels like she could get lost in them...but she doesn't mind letting them swallow her. Her voice is quiet and a little embarrassed, but it's resolute as she suddenly asks: ]
...Hinata-kun, could--could we...
[ Asking this question is a little embarrassing, but she knows she really wants to. ]
Do you think...you could kiss me? [ A pause. ] I-I mean...we've been dating for a while, and we haven't yet...but only if you want to.
please excuse me being a cheating cheater with icons and also using SDR2!Nanami
[His head feels light as he follows her into her room, to the point that it feels like he could float away even as she swings their joined hands. It's such a simple gesture, but it feels so good.
There's something in him that's been so hard to kill completely, something that wonders if he's good enough and worthy of this, but the rightness of being with her is louder than that these days. Even the darkest thoughts, the ones that had made him anxious to the point of being sick, are being torn down more and more as he spends time with her. The mark on the back of his hand is a pleasant weight that marks him as hers - marks him as belonging, and perhaps that's what he'd needed all of these years, instead of just his parents' ire and disappointment, to make those awful feelings start to fade. Maybe instead of trying to fulfill all the expectations placed on him and hoping that would make him feel complete, something in him had just been waiting for Nanami to come and fill up all the empty and broken places inside him.
So that's why, as she gets close and asks if he can kiss her, his breath still catches and he can hear his heartbeat storming in his ears - and they're nerves, of course they are because it's him and he's always messed everything up in his life ever-
but-
yours yours yours mine yours mine love me love me you're so perfect I need you I want you stay with me always love me love me I love you I love you-
That tangle is louder than anything else could ever be.
Hinata leans close, forehead pressing to hers, and his breath rushes out of him like he's surfacing from being underwater.] Chiaki. [He should be worried about using first name without asking, worried about getting so close to her without even properly responding, worried that he's moving them along too fast and screwing things up once again.
But he doesn't.
He folds down to her like he's caught in the wave of an ocean, warmth pulsing on the back of his hand, and presses his lips against hers.
He isn't Hinata (why aren't your grades better i'm so disappointed in you go to your room no dinner do better not good enough).
He's just Hajime. Soulmate, boyfriend, in love. Hajime and Chiaki, and it's more perfect than he deserves, but it's all he'll ever want or need.]
[ That tiny utterance is all she can manage when he suddenly moves in, close enough that their foreheads touch. This is the closest she's ever physically been to Hinata before, and...it's a little nerve-wracking, honestly. Not in a terrible way, of course, but in the sort of way where she can feel butterflies fluttering around in her stomach right now. It doesn't help when he says her name, either; her given name, rather than her family name. Her face flushes a deep red from embarrassment, but it sounds so nice, though, hearing her name from his lips.
And it feels even better feeling those same pair of lips touch hers. For a moment, she freezes; even though she had been the one to ask him, even though she had anticipated that he would kiss her, at the same time she hadn't really prepared herself for it to happen. However, after a couple of seconds of standing there stiffly, she melts into the kiss--no, into him. She squeezes his hands gently, doing nothing more than basking in the moment. She had seen kiss scenes occasionally in her video games, sometimes playing through the dating sims she was so terrible at, but never did she think it would feel this magical...
...Or maybe it's just Hinata. There's a lot of things that she's learning about romance that didn't seem so appealing to her until she started dating him. There's a lot of things that she's starting to appreciate more now that she's with him. Even playing video games, her lifelong passion, seemed to have a brand new spark once she started playing them with him. It's almost as though Hinata had a certain charm to him that made the world a lot more vivid.
She'll wait for him to break away, not wanting to pull out of it any sooner than he was willing to, but when he eventually does, she smiles warmly at him. ]
[He makes a small noise in the back of his throat - or Hinata thinks he does, it's so hard to be aware of anything else right now but the way Nanami is pressing against him with her lips and her hand. He shifts his fingers so hers can slide between and Hinata shivers, hard. He never wants this to stop.
But eventually they have to, because breathing is kind of important maybe, and Hinata definitely makes a reluctant sound as they both part. He can't bring himself to go far, though, just with his forehead pressed to hers. His heart aches in the best way.
He lets out a breathless chuckle at her question, though, and the throatiness of his own voice when he responds makes Hinata flush even more.] Of course you can. I should've asked before, but... [Oh, he is about to get really red.] I like saying your given name. And I... [His eyes dart away for a second, because he can't say something so embarrassing and just look right at her.] I like the way my name sounds when you say it.
It's okay. [ Nanami gives him a warm smile, shifting her attention to the feeling of their fingers being intertwined. She honestly doesn't mind that Hinata didn't ask first, and a part of her is glad that he took the initiative in breaking that barrier between them, but she's also a little embarrassed when she says in return: ] ...I like hearing you say it, too. And...I also like saying your name. It's nice.
[That's- His brain can't handle it. Neither can his heart, and Hinata makes an embarrassed sound in the back of his throat as he ducks down to bury his face against her shoulder. How can she say that so earnestly, his name is as basic as it gets...
But he knows she is. Knows she's being completely honest right now, and it sends his heart whirling around like a merry-go-round. All he'll ever want, and all he'll ever need... It's right here with her.] Chiaki... Thank you. [Hinata already knows he's getting addicted to the feeling of her given name in his mouth, but he's not planning on doing anything to fix that necessarily. Oh, well.] And I'm... I'm glad.
[They should probably separate at some point, even if it's just to give each other some room to move around, but Hinata can't bring himself to. He doesn't want to be away from her now, not even for a second.]
Haha, what is this feeling...? [He cards a hand through his hair, redness of his flush getting deeper.] Sorry, it's just... I'm so embarrassing. I know we were supposed to have a good time playing games, but... I don’t even want to let you go. [He huffs out an amused breath over her shoulder.] Sorry, Chiaki, that you ended up with such an embarrassing boyfriend. [And then he lets his head tilt towards her, resting in the space between her neck and shoulder.] This... feels so nice, though...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But Hinata sighs a little. The red that's been on his face since before hasn't left yet, and thinking about this doesn't bring it anywhere closer to fading.] I do still want to play games with you, it's just... [He thinks about trying to explain it, for a moment. Then promptly lets the thought die.] No, never mind. I just... thought of something dumb, it's fine.
