He couldn't withhold the groan coming out of him.

"Okay just...two minutes," he protests as he kisses her cheek. "To be fair I should probably brush my teeth too."

"Heheheh. Then come on, let's get up and do it before we get too comfy! Or else we won't want to move at all."

"Let me tempt you into my embrace for a little longer, Ichinose Kuon~"

He looks for a little longer, eyes playfully shifting gold like enticing her with his "godliness."

God, this is ridiculous but...its nice. To lay light. And her giggles are adorable. Its a win-win situation for the most part.

"Alright, but only for a few minutes, you scruffy siren. You won't trick me into falling asleep in my bra," she teased, though despite that, she snuggled against him and tightened her hug.

"Sweet thing. I'll protect you while you're regrowing your shell."

Scruffy siren...you like the scruff, Kuon! Takuto is easily proven right when she tightens her hug around him. Warmth... Such good warmth felt like it was taking him higher than he had ever anticipated before considering the events that took place today.

"And I'll continue to spoil you to the best of my ability," he remarks. "You deserve it."

The eye blooms behind his neck and he feels its presence swimming under his skin, his nerves sparked with activity as he closes his eyes and sinks into her embrace- the illusion of his calm swept away to reveal he was actually looking for a node in his mind.

A node tinged behind a heavy door which barred death. The one linked to Hamuko as he found himself wondering how exactly he could remove Hamuko's need to simply spend most of her time drifting off to sleep. Perhaps actualizing real life experiences or letting her mind bleed a little, giving away the fact that its still a dream or genuinely just manually shutting off the influence during day time. Perhaps that's for the better.

The last thing he needs is her getting alerted or worse...someone else figuring out something suspicious. After his mishaps here, even if Hamuko would prefer her dreams over spending time with him, he can just sacrifice their friendship if needed but he can't allow Kuon, Morning or Ancile be endangered by his issues.

He should still elevate security when needed.

And make sure things go exactly according to plan.

Otherwise...

His fingers sneaked past the hem of her turtleneck to feel the warmth of her spine on his bare skin.

No. He doesn't want to turn to violence unless strictly necessary. This safety of his lab...he can't forsake it.
