[ Considering he has to dip slightly to make this work, it isn't the greatest of ideas but it'll do. The blankets and pillows aren't too heavy in comparison (and besides, he's used to being used as a packing horse :(

Still, even when the doors reopen and they start walking to her door it's hard to imagine walking away now

especially when all he wants to do is spend the day with her. it's why all he says for a moment is a very helpful: ] Uh...

[psycholawgy]

[ the doors to the apartment slide open and it looks like ai is still sleep, so they won't be bothering her then.

she looks back at him, a smile on her face. ]

I can handle things from here.

[sortileges]

[ Well it's still pretty early. They woke up first thing because of the light, but-- ]

You should probably put these down first.

[psycholawgy]

Right-- I meant to do that.

[ and with a huff, she sets some of the things down on a nearby counter. ]

Could you just put the blankets on the couch?

[sortileges]

[ He steps in to drop those off for her, making sure none of the blanket or pillows fall off before he steps away.

Now what? Somehow it was easier the times before when they said goodbye in the elevator. ]

...Done. [ What a pro. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ yeah, done.

what... what now. ]

Do you want something to drink or eat before you go? [ she laughs amiably. ] I just want a reason to be with you longer.

[sortileges]

[ What now indeed. He just stands there for a moment, glancing towards where he knows her and Ai's kitchen is, then towards here he presumes Ai's room might be. It's darker down that way anyway. Quieter. ]

You don't need a reason for that. [ They spend plenty of time together without a reason anyway, no need to start now baka. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ stop calling her a baka, you boob!!! ]

Then... I'll text you, or something!

[sortileges]

[ Then stop calling him that?! ]

A text... would be nice. [ They're both idiots here, honestly, he scratches at the side of his face then glances towards the door. ] I should probably... make sure Shigeru isn't having a panic attack though so...

[ SO.............. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ you first. ]

Then... [ ah, this is so awkward.

she claps her hands together as if she just came up with a bright idea. (it's not a very bright one.) ]

I'll see you next time.

[sortileges]

[ Is this even an idea. ]

Next time. [ He repeats, then adds: ] Later. Sometime later.

[ He starts to step towards then door then, only seems to think better of it, glancing back and biting on his lip. It's then that he turns on his heel in a bit of a rush, leaning to kiss her once more. It's with a laugh that he steps away this time, saying over his shoulder: ]

Just one for the road.
