[Komaeda is used to incredulous though! He gets that a lot -- though not always with the fondness accompanying it. That fondness is nice. It makes a big difference, and he loves seeing that on Hinata's face.]

There are a lot of somethings that make you shy, aren't there, Hajime?

[It's cute. Blushing Hinata is one of his favorite things. He blinsk at being told to hold still though, looking at him curiously. But he freezes because Hinata asked him too, head tilted to the side quizzically.

Until there's kissing and then all questions are answered and he couldn't be happier about the explanation. A soft hum and he leans into that kiss, eyes drifting shut.]

[Hinata just smiles into his lips, having successfully evaded having to answer, and slides his fingers absently along Komaeda's jaw. He touches at his cheek, pads of fingers stroking delicately over skin.] Mmh--

[But he doesn't hold it for too long, pulling back and licking at a corner of his mouth with a little grin.]

Thanks to you, it's getting to be less than 'a lot'.

[Komaeda wonders just how a touch can feel so warm, can send a wash of comfort just straight through him. His eyes flutter again and he sighs almost in disappointment as the kiss ends. Well... they'll burn the eggs if they're not careful, so he won't complain.

He will fix a faintly amused look on Hinata instead.] Is it? Then I'm happy to know that I'm helping!

[..."helping!" That's Komaeda. Always a helper. Isn't Hinata a lucky lucky guy?]

I never said it was helping, just that I've had to get used to some of it.

[Hinata sticks out his lips slightly with a little huff as he turns off the oven and side-steps in Komaeda's direction. He leans over, until he can plant his cheek on Komaeda's shoulder, overcome by affection for him, warmth.

He's glad he's back. He's glad Komaeda's here.]

I think that counts as helping.

[Yup. Komaeda is totally counting it. He is the best helper. He's decided. There's a pause in his self congratulating anyway when that cheek hands against his shoulder. His heart flips over itself, and he smiles, turning to nuzzle into Hinata's heir gently.

Hinata is back. Komaeda is glad too. It's remarkable how it feels like his life has fallen back into place now.]

I love you. [The words burst out of him before he even realizes he's spoken them. But he means them.]

[Hinata smiles at the words, his eyes closing as he rubs his cheek against the bone of Komaeda's shoulder. Absently at first, and then he turns his head to kiss it deliberately, looking up at Komaeda with a content expression.] I love you too.

[He shifts to take one of his hands, twining their fingers together.]

...we should finish up making breakfast.

[Komaeda's expression softens into a contented smile of his own at those words returned. He hasn't gotten used to them yet, thinks that maybe he never will. And that's okay, that they still send his heart fluttering, a warmth racing through him.

He hooks his fingers with Hinata's, nodding in agreement.]

And then go to bed, isn't that right? [Breakfast in bed? Then some quality sleeping in time? Before they get back to trying to figure this place out.]

[Hinata squeezes at those fingers all hooked with his before drawing his hand back, not before giving Komaeda a fond look.] Aa. Then we're going to bed to eat.

[They'll have to clean up all the crumbs later... but who cares? This is something they rarely do. And after the last several days, then they should be able to do whatever they want.]

[Breakfast in bed! He'll get going with the toast for sure now. But yes, crumbs they can deal with after the fact. Right now it's a nice idea to just do something a little indulgent, to relax with each other.

And it plays into how much he really just wants to stay with Hinata right now, not let him out of his sight just yet, to make sure he doesn't regress or something.]

It's kind of exciting in a way, having breakfast in bed.

[Hinata blinks at that, tipping his head thoughtfully.] Aa. It is nice, isn't it? It'll be the first time we've done something like this. [The thought has him smiling and moving to dole up their breakfast, passing one plate over to Komaeda.]

We've gotten to do a lot of things like that since we wound up here, haven't we?

[Things they never had a chance to before, because they didn't have the luxury to.]

It is. It's even kind of romantic, in its way.

[Komaeda informs him playfully, taking the plate, depositing some toast upon it and then reaching over to slide a couple pieces on Hinata's as well. A smile stretches over his face at those next words.]

We have. It's selfish in a way, but I really like it, living a life of normal things. I like watching movies with you. [Movie and cuddling night is the best of all nights.]

[Hinata blushes just slightly. ROMANCE. It gets him every time. He shifts to head toward the bedroom, glancing back at Komaeda and smiling wryly at his comment. Selfish? Maybe. His mind often goes back to Haven, his friends, what they're doing, how they're doing.]

...I like it too. I don't think it's selfish to want to be happy and enjoy something, though. I think that's just human nature.

[He shifts his free hand back to take Komaeda's softly.]

[In Haven, yes. And back on the island, asleep in pods or trying to scrape by. And here they are, in this warm apartment, living the stolen moments of a life. It's so selfish how much he likes this, loves this really. He feels guilty for wanting something like this for himself so badly. But being with Hinata is... it is important. He can't help but want it, want to make the most of the time they have.

So he smiles at what Hinata says, catching Hinata's hand with his own, nodding in agreement.]

Human nature. I think that sounds right, doesn't it? [He tightens his fingers around Hinata's reflexively.] To just want to be with the one you love.

[Hinata wants to make the most of it too. He doesn't want it to end, in a way. He doesn't want to lose him, doesn't want to go back to see him in a coma... but he will. He's determined that much. He won't throw everything they've made together aside, but neither can he abandon what he fought so hard for.

He curls his fingers with Komaeda's, strangely missing him all of a sudden. Even though he's still right here with Hinata... sometimes things feel strange and fleeting, like it might all be blown away.]

Y-- Yeah. That's right. To be able to spend time with each other, keep getting to know each other more...

[Komaeda smiles as his hand is squeezed, but it's a far away smile somehow. He knows, he knows how fleeting their time might be. He knows what's waiting for him, and even being alive at all is more than he deserves.

He nods in agreement though, fully.] I want to. I want to know everything about you. Even if it's...

[No, he can't go down depressing trains of thought right now. Instead he tugs his hand gently, heading towards the bedroom.] Even if it's in a strange place like this, it makes me happy.

[It's like a dream, and someday he'll wake up and he doesn't know for sure whether he'll even remember this beautiful dream, but he'll try. He wants to. More than anything.]

[Even if it's? Hinata's got an inkling that what he's going to say isn't a happy thing, but he smiles at him anyway, gently, shifting his arm to wrap around Komaeda's as well, his fingers grazing along the inside of his palm as they walk together.]

That's... important to me. I'm glad that you're happy.

[He leans closer to kiss his shoulder as they walk into the bedroom, and he waits, offering to take his plate so he can slide into bed.]

[Hinata knows Komaeda too well really. It isn't a happy thing, but he doesn't want to go down that road. He wants to appreciate what they have while he can. That's all. It's selfish, but he wants to anyway.]

It's important to me that you're happy too.

[Komaeda adds quietly, handing the plate over and scooting onto the bed and holding his hands out to take the plates so Hinata can do the same.] Really important.

[After doing so, Hinata settles in close at his side, fighting the urge to plunk his head down on Komaeda's shoulder out of a surge of gratitude and affection for him. Settling for just a warm smile, he resists and instead just takes his plate and starts to eat without hesitation.

Good thing about being like this, though, is that he can hook one of his legs over Komaeda's in the bed and grin a bit to himself, purposefully catching their ankles.]

[It's comfortable, just that casual, simple touch. Sometimes it hits him particularly hard that such stereotypical couple things are things that he's allowed to do, that Hinata willingly does with him.

So ducking his head with a smile, he turns his attention to his own breakfast.]

It's really great, Hajime. Thanks for cooking.

[Breakfast in bed is the very best thing.]
