N-No, I just.... It's nothing!

[Honestly, Melody's always like this, isn't she? Not that it's a bad thing, of course. Yuteru needs someone like her or Kaibus to drag him around.

But really, is it okay for him to join her under the blankets? It's his bed, after all, even if Melody's been the one sleeping in it recently. More timid than he should be, Yuteru sits on the edge of the bed and looks over to the lump that he knows is Melody beneath the covers. Should he ask....?]

Are you sure you don't mind? It's okay?

[As usual, he still hesitates slightly before lifting one corner of the blankets and peeking beneath them. Well, there's plenty of space, so maybe he'll just.... scoot in quietly. There's still quite a bit of room between him and Melody, so it's okay, isn't it?]

It's warm....

[Oh gosh, he really can't handle when she says cute things like that. All he can do is nod somewhat sheepishly and pull the blanket a little closer around him, checking three times to make sure that there's enough space between them despite their closeness.]

Does.... Does keeping them like this make them warmer?

[It takes a bit of effort to keep his voice from quavering, but flushed as ever, he brings his other hand up to gingerly cover Melody's own. This is so embarrassing! But if both of their hands are cold....]

[By now, Yuteru's positive that he's blushing brightly enough to glow. Even though he's managed to keep himself from trembling in his nervousness, here's no way that his heartbeat isn't resounding throughout the room, is there? That's what it feels like to him!

And he was doing so well, too. But as Melody's moves in closer, he makes the slightest involuntary noise under his breath, and immediately breaks eye contact to awkwardly stare at the wall behind her. One wall, another wall, the hanging shelf with the little flowerpot on it, his neatly organized bookshelf, auburn hair-- and then it's too hard to keep looking away. Isn't everyone drawn to Melody?]


You think it's nice? [It's obvious from even a glance that he's more timid than usual, but it's equally clear that he doesn't want to separate either. Surely a tiny smile wouldn't be too awkward, right?] Maybe we can both warm up this way.... Um, because I think our hands are less cold now!

[On the other hand, Yuteru is the opposite of bold. His approach to almost everything is coupled with a unique sort of tranquility, a soft, serene blend of thoughtfulness unique only to him. But now, when Melody presses flush against his chest, his breath hitches in his throat and the last of the composure he was holding onto scatters somewhere in the ambient glow of the room.]

M-Melody....

[Her name escapes him before he realizes it, and he falters once it reaches his ears. Aside from the thrumming of his heart and the breaths he forces himself to take, he's totally frozen, hands hovering over Melody's shoulders.

It's unlike him, and Yuteru knows it. Being at a loss for reactions is normal, but having no idea how to make himself move forward when all he can hear is his own heartbeat is far more foreign. Melody's hair is falling in her face, so surely it wouldn't hurt to just.... reach over, right? And with the tiniest spark of courage, that's exactly what he does. It's a brief movement, simply a brushing a lock of auburn hair away and hooking it behind Melody's ear, but he has to will himself to speak upon pulling his hand back.]


Um, your hair was in your eyes, so.... [Maybe it didn't matter, with the way her face is hidden. But before he can think about stopping himself, Yuteru gently places his hands on Melody's shoulders the way he'd originally intended to.]

[Oh no, just the fact that Melody is idly playing with his hair is enough to make his knees go weak. Yuteru doesn't realize just how dry his throat is until he attempts to swallow, and even then there isn't anything he can do about it. But then their eyes meet, and he's positive that his blush deepens impossibly further.

Upon realizing that his mouth is slightly open, he quickly presses his lips together, and still can't bring himself to look away from Melody's eyes. In fact, he can't do much at all, and only stays frozen in place for several seconds before almost subconsciously leaning toward her. Ah, they're close.... very close. One moment of impulse it all it takes, and before he can even comprehend it, he finds himself pressing the tiniest, feather-light kiss to her head. Upon pulling back, the realization finally sinks in, and then.... nothing.

....He just did that, didn't he? He really did that?]

N-No, I.... [How badly is his voice quavering? Are his hands trembling? Where is he supposed to look, and what if they're so close that his overwhelmingly nervous expression is offputting? Better yet, what kind of face is he making to begin with?!

The momentary boldness he'd felt in spurts once again eludes him, and in an attempt to collect himself, Yuteru rests his cheek atop the auburn hair so close to it. He just needs a moment to compose his thoughts; why would Melody say something like-- No, there's no time to think about that sort of thing!]


Um, it.... It's not? [How stupid must he sound right now?]

[Yuteru is becoming increasingly convinced that not only his hands are trembling, but his arms and the rest of him probably are too. But that isn't the issue here. No, the issue isn't just how positively shaken he is, both inside and out, but instead the fact that he has to do something. He wants to do something. And even more obvious is the fact that he's being invited to do it.

Honestly, he isn't even sure he can make himself move. His willpower and confidence are fluctuating wildly by the second, and his thoughts are scrambled to the point that he's surprised he even comprehended Melody's quiet words. They're alone in a dark room, pressed up against each other close enough to feel each other's breath. How is he supposed to calm down when she's looking at him like that? Her gaze is positively heart-stopping.

Timid as he may be, he has enough courage to do this, doesn't he? Melody's words continue to play on an endless loop in his head as he looks back at her, trying to swallow in his nervousness before finally leaning that first centimeter forward.... And then there's nothing he can do. Just as gentle as before, he bridges the distance between them and barely brushes soft lips to hers, letting them linger for the briefest moment before pulling back with an expression nothing short of bewilderment. He did it.... he actually did it, didn't he?!]

[If there's any one thing Yuteru is certain of right now, it's that he's making a terribly embarrassing expression. He must be even redder than before, but as he timidly pulls back and somehow gathers the courage to finally look up at Melody again, he's quick to notice that she's blushing too.

The next few moments feel like an eternity, just staring openly and trying to find the right time to hide his eyes, breath caught somewhere in his throat. But then Melody sits up, and Yuteru can only begin to try to do the same. But before he knows it, he's staring at the ceiling, auburn hair falling over his face. Melody's eyes are suddenly so close, and there's some sort of weight on his stomach, and he can only hope to comprehend what's happened in the past few seconds, and, and--

It takes a few moments for Yuteru to actually register his current situation, but the lips pressed against his are so soft and warm that he finds himself closing his eyes instinctively. He's suddenly forgotten how to move, much less breathe, but Melody only leans in further as Yuteru's brain desperately tries to keep up with his accelerating heart. She's.... kissing him, isn't she? She's actually kissing him?!]
