[He lets him get away with it, but he also turns so he can kiss his cheek.]

As long as you promise.

Itadakimasu.

[He'll dip a vegetable and take a bite... It's delicious.]

[mukagen]

[ He gets himself some rice porridge because it'll be good on his stomach. Fortunately, they can eat together. ]

Will you be full on that? It doesn't seem filling to me.

[ The dip. ]

[housewolf]

It's not super filling, but that's why it usually comes with bread... and it's an appetizer.

[mukagen]

[ ohh... Well. Gojou leaves for a second to go back to the vending machine and gets Omi a whole baguette?? [

[housewolf]

[His shoulders are shaking, barely contained laughter.]

Thanks.

[mukagen]

If you're going to laugh, do it in front of my face.

[ Stupid!! He eats his porridge with a squint, but he's still smiling.,/small> ]

[housewolf]

I'm right in front of you.

[Anyway he's ripping up the bread so he can actually dip it.]

[mukagen]

Then laugh louder so I can hear it!!

[ YOU EVIL LITTLE THING YOU ]

Tell me what's so funny!

[housewolf]

[He laughs, warm and affectionate.]

You'll hear plenty of it, won't you?

[mukagen]

Doesn't mean I don't want to hear it every time.

[ He takes some of the bread and steals some dip. Hmph. ]

[housewolf]

[Oh, that gets him to blush a little.]

Do you like it?

[mukagen]

Who doesn't like it?!

[ He laughs a bit himself because excuse me. ]

[housewolf]

[He's blushing so much right now. Embarrassing...]

I-I meant the dip...

[mukagen]

... Oh, not your laugh?

[ Oops. Well. Now Omi knows what Gojou thinks of it. ]

The dip is good! I like garlic in general and the anchovies actually give it depth.

[housewolf]

I'm glad.

[He reaches out and holds Gojou's free hand.]

I like hearing your laugh too.

[mukagen]

That's surprising since I sometimes purposely laugh in an annoying way!

[ Hehehe. Gojou lets Omi have his hand as he uses the other to spoon himself porridge. ]

... I still don't understand why you like me.

[housewolf]

You don't?

[There's a specific thing that Gojou said, but it's feels a little awkward to point to that.

Then they'll hold hands like this for the rest of the meal.]

When I feel stressed out or anything like that, you're the first person I want to go to. It's like... when I'm with you, breathing is easier. Especially in a place like this. You're funny and you lighten the mood, and it's something I really appreciate.

I like being with you.

I don't know why you like me back.

[mukagen]

... I think most people would like you? Your type is popular.

[ Tall, handsome, kind... Sure, Gojou is aware of Omi's dark past and regrets, but no one is perfect. He says that, but he knows that isn't the reason. There are some people like Omi out there, even though rare; it's that Gojou's situation changed. He went from no time, no interest, to this.

How does he explain it? ]

It's the same for me. I like spending time with you. [ ... ] You know that I don't have a normal background. It's always something in the backdrop—the most normal thing I do is eat and shop. But when I spend time with people here, especially you... It feels a little less lonely? The weight on my shoulders feels lighter. At times, there's a warmth in my chest that I haven't felt in a long time.

It's selfish, but I can't imagine experiencing this without you.

[housewolf]

[Gojou's life is entirely different from his own mostly normal one. The warmth comment makes him wonder if they both had those years where they felt nothing.

He gently squeezes his hand.]

It's okay if you're selfish. We're both here. And... I can't either. I'm glad we met, even if it's like this.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou squeezes his hand back and laughs a bit. They really found themselves in the worst timeline, but is it so bad? When they found each other. Just a couple of days is nice, isn't it... ]

We are both here. You're right. Selfish doubled.

[ He dips some of the vegetables and holds it out for Omi to eat. ]

Again, let me repeat: your type is popular.

[housewolf]

I already told you I was selfish, right?

[They're making the most of it, aren't they? He doesn't want to say he has regrets when his time comes.

He does eat the vegetable right from Gojou's hand.]

Ah... this is a little embarrassing.

[mukagen]

You did, you did. Sometimes I forget.

[ Nice! Then he holds out the next veggie for Omi, dipped and everything. ]

What part? Being handfed or having to face the truth.

[ THAT OMI IS THE BEST MAN. ]

[housewolf]

The handfed part, mostly.

Face the truth? Isn't this your opinion?

[Gojou, Omi is just out here trying his best.

He will eat the next veggie.]

[mukagen]

Yeah, I'm not stopping.

[ With the handfeeding. And another veggie! ]

... I'm stating a universal truth?

[housewolf]

This counts as spoiling, doesn't it?

[ If this is what he wants to do to relax after wherever they went, Omi is fine with it. ]

As long as you want me, I'm happy. [ He's so sincere when he says it. ]
