Ehe-mm. [ his laugh cuts off when shu reaches to take his chin, and nazuna's heart leaps in his chest, confused and erratic like a fluttering bird. his feelings towards shu have always been complicated, and having him this close is no exception to that rule, but now, they err away from the guilty and depressed to the happier, fonder--to the warmth he felt the first day shu looked at him and asked him to form valkyrie with him. to find their own valhalla.

nazuna's big, giggly smile slowly melts down to something softer, fonder. he teases, just a little, and the warmth stays in his tone. ] They're happy tears, Itsuki, it's okay.

[ because that's what happens when you laugh, when you get to feel emotions. he lets shu stay close as he dabs at his eyes, too, and lets the warmth slowly fill up his chest, his stomach, down to the tingly tips of his fingers. he flushes with the praise, and the want of this relationship, the days when it was just the two of them, almost knocks him off of his feet. ]

Can you wait until White Day? [ he starts, and then starts to babble, just a little -- ] Caushe, 'm gonna return sheh favor, y'know, shoon ash I can--mine wont be ash good ash yours, but--

[ he sucks in a breath, quick, trying to force himself to stop stuttering, to let that welled up feeling of joy leak out just a little, slowly but surely. ] But I. I accept them. I definitely do.

[ and not just the chocolates. ]
