[ lmao HMMM.

what are the things he thinks a human girl needs? they'll have to broach that and figure it out. as far as she's concerned, she's happy with him. she was his friend when he was broke, hopeless, and full of secrets. she's his girlfriend now. he doesn't need to be rich or wildly successful. he only needs to be yato.

they can figure out the rest. taking care of each other.

at the back of her mind, yato's pain pricks at her. she should get that pain medication. she should do something. should she... return the favor he did for her? would that help? it sure as heck helped her.

maybe because he's said it so much, she almost misses it. almost. the three words ping at the Feel Good cells in her brain. aaah, yato loves her. ]

I love you. I want to be here. Especially when you need me, I'm here. [ because she loves him, too. so much. he's always on her mind but even more after this. if possible. remembering the cool bottle, she searches for it and then continues pressing it along his warm skin. ] But also whenever you want me.

[ if that's just to cuddle a bit on the staff couch. ]

... Should we both go back to base for rest?
