“𝚃𝚎𝚊 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎."

Again with the contrast, speaking to him like a good subordinate and acting the way one is with their lover.
“𝚃𝚎𝚊 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎."

"As you know, I'm not from this world but it's here where I actually found home."
It was a standard living space, tiny but it would be enough for one person or two if comfortable enough.
"Make yourself at home here too."

➪ Ringed eyes would squeeze in methodically.
“𝙵𝚘𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝, 𝙸𝚖 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚘𝚜𝚜."

Besides, she saw it was only fair that he be invited over after she crashed in his abode too. Thankfully, she cleaned up before and she'll have an excuse to cook and not think about anything else.

➪Takuto. Making him disappear would be simple enough. Changing his squad. Whatever worked.

Hell, Inrin's chest hurt. Not because of the overwhelming emotions coming over her but her own scar hurts too, as if it's being pulled apart...

➪ Here is her about to scold her and go on a tangent only for her to hank his hand. The small wound like a knife dragged long his skin.
+
"...next time, tell me off. You really look like I beat you up." She muttered, looking at Makimoto's eyes like, well, a sad puppy.

"𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚢."
➪ He’d reply in short before hearing her out. Eyeing the reheating over leftovers-
+
"And..." She looked at Makimoto, having this curious look on her face, "...what plans do you have?"
"𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚢."

➪ Of course, he’s bound to have certain things on his mind after last night. Even then, the return to work. It couldn’t be pushed away forever.
“𝚂𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚘 𝚍𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞?"
➪ He exhaled and shook his head. Being met by the blueberry.
+
Soon, she pulled away, checking his selection of caffeine, "...anyways, coffee? How do you usually take it?"

➪ And he obliged her. Adding a singular whole blueberry atop it all.
+
She huffed, trying to protest but she soon ate the piece in defeat.
"...you forgot the blueberries." She muttered.
“𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜, 𝙸𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚙𝚜 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐."

➪ He turned at the hip, facing her at he poured another fluffy mixture upon the pan. Setting the utensil back into its mixture, the hand rose out and upwards. Grabbing and drawing her eyes towards his.
“𝙾𝚛 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚒𝚝?"

...
"...please heal." She actually pleaded as her hands fidgeted by her lap, embarrassed and deeply ashamed from how much she had done to him, "It's...quite inappropriate, no?"

Retrieving her clothes and getting dressed, Inrin soon came out as she twisted her hair up into a bun.
"Good morning." She greeted, unable to meet his eyes.
“𝙷𝚖𝚖? 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚗𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚞𝚙 𝚜𝚘 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚕𝚢."

➪ Bruises line his upper torso like he’d been mauled on. Silently, he eased himself out of bed.

What will he do next?

➪ More teasing..
+
...she's afraid but the way those golden eyes burned in her mind with such a knowing smile...
It's crazy.
She makes her want to slap him sometimes for looking so smug and other times, she just wants to bite his lip in a kiss.

"𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝."
➪ As requested, with a pinch between fingers. He offers it closely. His eyes visibly sit on her lips as they spread. Though slightly bruised, they still carry themselves with a sense of grace.
➪ Taking notice that she's purposely being slow.

...
Inrin got rid of the thought and just focused on the current happenings, smiling a bit as she looked at the food, "...can I have some onigiri, please?"

...gazing at her, hair cascading down her shoulders and back in gentle waves, smiling and in much ease despite the horrors they witnessed before.
Like a princess.

Looking down, Inrin took in the sight of her own body and the many bandages that covered her body, "...what happened?"
Slowly, she looked over, assuming that the one writing is Makimoto...

➪ He gave his own smug expression. Considering she was in his arms. A little tease wouldn’t harm her.

Still, she felt a bit self-conscious though. Then again, time in the Old World pulled her in a constant state of hunger.

➪ They walk past the barrier of people, hunters making way and civilians staring in disbelief of the sight. To them she probably looked beyond saving. Carried by another who seemed to show no display of worry or concern.

“𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚙𝚞-. 𝙸𝚗𝚛𝚒𝚗."

Some lightning flashed among the clouds in the sky and she wondered if some rain will help wash away all traces of her on this road.
“𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚙𝚞-. 𝙸𝚗𝚛𝚒𝚗."
+
➪ Even if he didn’t show the worry, his eyes traced her being. The shard piercing through clothing and more.
+
"...thank you, sir." She sighed, starting to pinch, rub, and pull away glass from her flesh with shaky hands, "I'll write a report soon."
➪ Even if he didn’t show the worry, his eyes traced her being. The shard piercing through clothing and more.
+
➪ The way she refused to be anything but her best in this very moment. The pure wanton abandonment of wanting to destroy this devil.
+
She sliced through both cleanly, arms grotesquely reaching across in a macabre swing. The parts that flew in the air were seized—
𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝.
Without them existing, how will it reform a new body? Not with its parts in her stomach, already broken down.
➪ The way she refused to be anything but her best in this very moment. The pure wanton abandonment of wanting to destroy this devil.

"𝙸𝚗𝚛𝚒𝚗?"
➪ He eased another shard out. Slower this time, not to draw out the pain but to be more delicate with the extraction. The glass tinks and smashes against the ground

➪ Tone still remaining playful throughout.
“𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚕 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎."
➪ One of the devils massive arms swung, throwing a blast of air their way. Cars and debris thrown their way. A hand holding at her shoulder to keep her in place for the moment.
+
"Oh no." She squirmed in his grasp, still openly bleeding out, "The legs! I'm not sure if it will regenerate! Please, sir, let me go and fight it again!"
...such a stubborn pup, different from who she is back in that realm, who would probably push him off.
