[He closes his eyes, enjoying the warm brush of Jun's lips, the thumb skimming his cheek.]
You were thinking the same thing, huh?
[Seeing him as a security blanket, just like the Jin poster. That's what Jun means, isn't it?
Normally he'd tease Jun over such an admission. "Ahaha, Jun-kun would be so hopeless without me!" Right now, however, he feels no such urge. Instead he just feels glad. What a relief this is. He's been afraid, lately, that he might have gotten too clingy. That he'll suffocate Jun and make him feel smothered. It's the last thing he wants, but he's just so afraid of losing him. So afraid that he'll wake up and find him gone, or that he'll message him and won't get a reply. That he'll find Jun's statue, like he did during his dream. Hiyori relies on Jun to keep him grounded, to make him happy, and to take care of him. He'd fall apart without him, especially after how the past week has went.
So it's a relief to hear again that Jun sees him as someone he can rely on. Even in this place, even after this week. Not a burden, but someone to keep him warm and help him feel secure. Like a blanket. Relying on Jun one-sidedly wouldn't be any good. But if they can rely on each other, and keep each other secure, then that's not being a burden. That's being "partners."
Which is what they are, now and forever.
Still. His brows do jump and his heart stutters when Jun says, "Maybe we should." Followed by "A wedding vow seems like a mighty fine idea." He hastily says,]
Well, even now it's still cheesy.
[But.
He knocks their foreheads together again and continues, speaking in a rush.]
But well, some people are actually doing that sort of thing. I heard the staff talking about it the last time I went out—how there's been an "uptick in weddings" since the Hearts game started.
[His cheeks turn a bit pinker.]
I'm not saying we should join in. Obviously it wouldn't be the same as a real wedding. But, well... I guess if we're already doing matching rings, and we've already promised each other the future, then we're more or less halfway there, anyway.
[He pauses, still blushing. And then, at last, he clears his throat and announces the following:]
So I guess what I'm saying is: I accept your mini-proposal! ♪
[Another pause.]
Or I would if you did have a ring. But since you don't, I'll accept this cozy blanket!
