[ He is, isn't he? Is he?

It really is a source of happiness and pride that he gets to hear something like that from Inaba, someone who didn't easily trust those she didn't know before this school. It made all of the trials and tribulations that came with their school life worth it.

Even with the blood on their hands. ]

...love you too, Inaba.

[ His words get caught for a second, as he takes a deep breath. ]

After we get you to the top... it should be safe to be open about our relationship. I want let everyone know how glad I am to have you.

[ somebody kill him before he embarrasses himself more ]

[dereban]

You're allowed to call me 'Himeko', you know. You have that permission.

[ The words are spoken softly, almost too soft for someone who has blood on her hands. There's a gentle, simple warmth in what she says.

This isn't something that she allows for, usually, as someone who despises her name so much.

Ironic, given that she's planning on becoming the queen of the student council. ]

We're alone, after all, so... it's fine, if you call me by my first name.

[ KILL THEM BOTH TBH ]

[taketori]

...Himeko.

[ After so long, it was hard for him to get used to that. In his mind, if she truly hated that name so much, then of course he'd call her by her family name. At her request, as gentle as it is... how can he refuse her?

As gentle as him lowering his hands to take hers. ]

As long as it's just us. Even after you truly become class royalty.

[ That's a distinction he wants to hold all to himself. ]

[dereban]

Of course--

[ She starts off, affectionate at first but then looks like she immediately remembers something and frowns. ]

Ah. Well, I suppose if you really want to be the only one to call me by my first name, we're going to have to get rid of someone.

[taketori]

Oh. Really?

[ He quirks an eyebrow... ]

And who might that be?

[dereban]

The current school nurse.

[ Her mood sours, and she finds herself frowning. ]

Calling me by my first name without my goddamn permission, and then continuing to refer to me that way when I tell him to stop.

[taketori]

Oh. That guy.

[ Admittedly he hasn't spent too much time around him, but on the other hand, he's been pissing Inaba off something fierce... ]

I don't know how easy it'd be to get rid of a faculty member, but considering that it should be easy to be alone with him, it shouldn't be too difficult. Right?

[ HE'S ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS?? ]

[dereban]

[ I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS....... there is going to be so much regrets later on.

Nevertheless, she continues, seriously: ]

I don't think it'd be that easy. Even if isolation might not be as difficult, he's not human. Not to mention that he has a partner that is also not human and extremely dangerous.

It's a pain in the ass, so instead I just decided not to bother. It's why I'm trying to self teach myself more intensive first aid so I don't have to rely on someone like him.

[taketori]

That's not a bad idea. I sure as hell can't trust anyone like that if anything happens. I'm already lucky enough that you were there to help patch me up.

[ Ahhh, don't bring that up, changing subjects-- ]

...Do we know if anybody else distrusts them? There's strength in numbers.

[dereban]

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

[ She sighs, shaking her head. ]

Anyway, enough of this bleak bullshit! We're supposed to be enjoying our afterlives. We can shelve this for later, anyway--once I do a little more looking into it. Can't do too much planning with a lack of information, after all.

Let's just enjoy ourselves. We have a private room and all the time in the world.

[taketori]

[ --She's right. If they're meant to be dead, the most they can do is make the most of their time together. Not spend their time conspiring to commit murder and talk about who stabbed who and what not.

A private room... all the time in the world. ]

You're right. So then, Himeko. I hope you don't mind if I spoil you a bit more.

[dereban]

...

[ It makes her heart flutter when he calls her by her first name. She's happy, in fact. Enough that what peeks out is a much shyer, more demure Inaba. ]

I-If... you really want to, then... I won't stop you...
