[The fact Jun wants to give his future to him—that he wants them to spend their lives together—makes him feel horribly glad. It drives out all the dark thoughts swirling around in his head, dulls the pain in his chest and melts away the cold. Silly Jun-kun; he really should have known better.
It makes Hiyori feel so good, in fact, that he's willing to consider that idea that time is stopped back home, even though it sounds preposterous. Can the House's magic really influence their world? Does this whole place exist outside of time somehow, even though there are birthday celebrations and a calendar and seasonal activities like beach parties? He doesn't know, but that would be best. And it'd make things simplest for when they return.
Which they will, one day, hand in hand. He'll make sure it happens somehow.]
Mm~♪ Maybe so. One way or another, I have faith that we'll win someday.
[A part of him wonders if that could be part of their wish: not just to go back home, but to go back to the time they were pulled from. If the House really does grant wishes. And if they completed their 52 boards. He hasn't really spent much time thinking about what-ifs like that, because he doesn't want to delude himself, and he figured that was an option that was closed to them, anyway. But given that loophole they now know about...
Well. Now isn't the time to talk about that.
Jun says he picked something out for him—that he has another gift for him besides the breakfast in bed. Which isn't a huge surprise, but Hiyori had gotten so wrapped up in their conversation that he forgot about gift-giving. He beams at Jun.]
Jun-kun has another gift he's been waiting to unveil, huh? Excellent! Let's—
[see it.
But he stops before he can finish, his eyes widening as he clues into Jun's meaning. Is he saying he already bought them?
Hiyori's tempted to just ask, but after a moment's pause, he just nods, feeling uncharacteristically shy all of a sudden, his heart lodged somewhere in his throat.]
... on second thought, since Jun-kun wants to surprise me, I'll close my eyes.
[And that he does, standing there expectantly with his eyes shut.]
