[ She wouldn't ever want to. She snuggles deeper into him, deep enough to breathe in his scent and hear his beating heart. ] Sometimes I think you might. [ She can tease, just a little. ]
I think I'm learning about different kinds of love. There's love that makes me happy, and love that makes me afraid. All from two people. [ She looks up at him. ]
What's there to be sorry about? [He slides the rest of the way, sprawling on the hardwood porch. Love that makes you afraid? Komaeda sobers. His brows come together as he rubs her back in slow soothing circles.]
All emotions have nuances. [His voice is soft, like it always is when his mind is far away. No one has ever loved him as much as Nanami and Hinata. He fears for them everyday. Even if he would rip apart mountains just to get to them.]
There's also...love that makes you feel brave. I made Hajime a promise. I'll make a similiar one to you. [He shifts, propping himself up on one elbow as he peers into her eyes.]
You will never be alone. I'll be here, no matter what happens. And even if I'm not physically around you. [His free hand settles just over her heart.] I'll be with you here, Chiaki.
In your hopes, in love, in everything you can imagine! Because I love you and I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. It's not home without both of you.
[ It's a touching promise, and a slightly familiar one. She promised to be in the hearts of Hajime and all of his friends, when they left the New World Program, or so she's learned.
She takes his hand again -- she can never seem to lose her contact with him for long. ] I think so too. So... I want to make a promise to you, too. But something a little different.
[ A lean forward to touch his forehead, a gentle kiss to his soft lips, a pull back just enough to look into his eyes, let him know she's serious. ] For as long as we are physically together, in the same world, I'm going to live with you to the best of my abilities. I want to share everything, I want to give you more than just my memory. I want to give you me.
Chiaki...I'll give my everything to you. [His whispers against her lips just before he kisses her. It feels like his heart is dancing in his chest. If he can protect her and Hajime, protect all of his friends and this world.
This is what fuels the blaze of hope in his chest. He'd gladly let them mess him up and use him up. Her or Hajime could even tie him up and he wouldn't mind it. He draws back from her lips to nuzzle her cheek with his.]
It's terrifying in a way, just how happy you make me. Ha, but I like it! No. I love how you make me feel!
Ha... me too...! [ His giddy laughter is almost infectious. She nuzzles him back, kissing his cheek gently. What state are the two of them in... it feels beyond the love and happiness they were feeling moments ago. Like it transcends that somehow.
But she catches his hand and tries to regulate her breathing as she looks at him, even as her heart flutters. They're so close to losing themselves, and she can feel it. ] Hey, let's... explore all these strange feelings together, all right? Don't leave me behind...
[ But as long as he doesn't... she'd go through all of it and more with him. She'd jump off a cliff from sheer happiness, just to see if she could fly. ]
Of course we'll explore this together. That's part of a relationship! We share how we feel, [He sighs, purely content as he lays with her on the porch. Crickets crisp in the grass as a cool breeze stirs the trees in the yard beyond their happy little space.
Komaeda tangles his fingers in her hair as he murmurs softly.]
Whatever happens, as we as individuals grow...I'll walk this road together with you both.
[ She nods and burrows into him, content. Their conversations always seem to end up this way -- the two of them cuddled close for comfort, quietly slipping into happy silence. She's just so glad to be there with him, with some of that gratitude flowing into his mind -- just so he knows. ]
