[Well, with their moving out, they had surrendered their rooms, that was only fair. When they came back to weather out the storm, Mayoi found with some surprise that only one of their rooms was still available. Well...]

[That was fine, wasn't it...? Ah. They were sharing space in the shrine and they often spent time in each other's rooms before moving out. It is more intimate than their usual arrangements but ...well. That was their relationship, right...?]

[Before Mayoi can allow the voices of doubt and disdain rise up in him, to mock him for his thoughts and wants, he takes the key and confirms if Mafuyu is okay with the shared space. of course she was, and it was silly for him to even worry, he knows this, but sometimes...]

[Ah.]

[Ah, right. There's only one bed in these rooms.]

[Mayoi drops his modestly packed bag and begins to put things away. Get's the tea kettle out, so they may make something nice and warm to drink later, yes that will be nice. He is not going to linger on those thoughts of his that going quietly excited just now ugh, filthy. Awful.]

( mafuyu is... a little slower on the uptake, instead focusing on setting up spots for the deernicorn and the owl-ple to rest- not that they've followed their humans up to the room. they're both independent, resting in front of the fireplace for the best warmth while she and mayoi set up, and it's only once she turns around that she realizes- h.

oh. um.

...

mom would kill her, for sure. )

Will this be okay...?

[Perhaps if he squashes the thoughts down he will not have to worry about it at all!! Haha!!]

[Mafuyu notices and he lets out a little eek! in response, to which he straightens himself up and tries not to look like he wasn't deeply turning this entire bed situation in his head like a rotisserie chicken.]

I-I have no objections!

[Wait, god, what the fuck was that. That was really sketchy??? to just say that?? He coughs loudly like that might wipe that sentence out of existence and tries again.]

I mean-, that is to say!! I ...ah. I will accommodate whatever Mafuyu-san's comfort might require, b-but I am unbothered.

...

Please be honest, you seem nervous.

( maybe its nerves from the trek- the wraiths had circled and called and cursed and it was only them looking out for each other on the way that really saved them, she thinks. )

Fuueee...

[Like being given permission actually flips a switch in him, he settles down. Composes himself.]

I-I'm sorry. I know the accommodations are not ah ...they are more intimate than maybe we both anticipated. I ...I am not opposed to sharing a bed with someone I adore, but I do not wish to make you uncomfortable.

Oh.

( ...

she'll close the distance and press a little kiss to his cheek. )

You're very sweet. ... I don't... like being alone. So I think, maybe... this might be nice? And it will help us both stay warmer...

[They're literally dating and he is being so!!!! careful!!!]

[But he does feel a little silly getting worked up. He can't help it. She presses that kiss to his cheek and he deflates with relief. He will reach down to take her hands.]

I- yes, I think so, too. And, that aside...

[Gentle kiss on the back of her hand.]

Mafuyu-san's happiness if very important to me...

-!

( mayoi is always sweet and romantic and gentlemanly, but it still makes her heart flutter every time.

she glances away bashfully. )

... You make me happy.

Uuuuuuueee-!

[Holding her hands while leaking from his face because your sweet and romantic babygirl is crying.]

Mafuyu-saaaaan is too good to meeee…!

( oh, mayoi. mafuyu pulls him into a hug. pat, pat. )

There, there. ... I don't think there's any such thing as that, though. Not while you treat me so well too.

You deserve happiness, same as anyone else, s-so I merely try to treat you as such.

[Hugs back, nice and warm.]

I am glad, though, because you make me very happy, too.

Mayoi... Thank you.
