[ Nope, he feels just as choked up as Hiyori sounds. Here, they can be embarrassed together, even though feeling such deep emotions is normal.
He's relieved he and Hiyori have finally opened up to share their long-repressed feelings. For Jun, loving someone meant making them the top priority and being willing to do anything for them, even if it was sometimes irritating and prompted complaints. After much self-doubt, Jun no longer questioned whether his intense feelings were misguided or if the noticeable changes in their relationship were only a figment of his imagination. ]
Mhm, 'course you do ♪
[ Basking in Hiyori's warm embrace, Jun laughs happily. Yet, curiously, what could Hiyori's words mean? Were they playful banter, or did they hold a deeper meaning? Unwilling to bother, Jun takes his partner's remarks at face value, assuming Hiyori is only joking around. ]
I think it sounds pretty nice. So I got no choice but to accept, 'cause Ohii-san's saying something sweet.
[ He presses his nose into Hiyori's shoulder, words muffled as he smiles into his shirt. One day he hopes to know what it means, but for now, he'll accept. ]
[That's about the reaction he expected. That, or "What does that even mean?" But it looks like Jun's not in the mood to playfully bicker or make fun of him. Perhaps even Jun could sense that there was some real emotion behind those words.
Or perhaps not. Either way, Hiyori accepts it!]
Mmhm ♪ Jun-kun's got no choice but to accept my love. For now and forever ♪
[A reference to his solo song. Something that hadn't finished production before they got kidnapped. He's been refining the lyrics recently; maybe he'll sing them for Jun sometime. Maybe he'll do a lot of things. But for now, he'll just keep basking in the warmth of their shared love, until Jun goes back to doing whatever he was doing before or the staff member shows up to install the canopy above his bed.]
[ There's some interest in what Hiyori might mean, as it stands, he's not in the mood to playfully bicker or poke fun. Besides, to his knowledge, they hadn't seen one another until Hiyori came looking for him! But still, he knows how to read a mood.
And even when he finds out the truth, he'll accept it! ]
I'm gonna accept your love and return it! And, well, even if I had no other choice I would. Things just make sense when we're together and you're holding me, saying something nice like forever. And we're a forever sorta deal!
[ Because he may not be able to articulate it eloquently, but when they're together, everything seems to fall in line. He may not know about Hiyori's next solo song, though, he'll want to hear it. Whether the lyrics are finished or not! Accepting Hiyori's love was the first step, and he's ready to embrace and continue basking in their shared love.
Maybe they can't stay here hugging all day, but he's never going to let go of Hiyori now their love is mutual. Not while he feels safe and warm, hoping Hiyori can still feel the warmth of his love. ]
I don't wanna leave Ohii-san for a second, not while he's holding me tightly. But I promise once I'm done with my workout, I'm gonna come back and you'll have the privilege of holding me real tight all you want. For all night, if you wanna...!
[ Which includes kissing and anything else they want to do! He's offering himself up for the taking, knowing Hiyori will make him feel loved, no matter what. ]
[Yep. They definitely need to let go at some point. But he's not in the mood to yet, so he'll keep on hugging Jun! Hugging him, sharing warmth, and listening to his wonderful words. Words like "I'm gonna accept your love," and "We're a forever sort of deal." Hiyori won, basically. He won against the House, who wanted Jun to play the field, and he won against anyone else who might be interested in him. Now is the time to bask in his victory.
Though there may be one opponent remaining: the gym. Of course Jun has to go and mention his workout routine! But Hiyori's still so overjoyed he can't even tease or sulk about it. And Jun hasn't run to the gym yet, so for now, he'll continue to bask and to hear even more wonderful words. Like "You'll have the privilege of holding me real tight" and "For all night if you wanna"—
Er.
Wait.
That last combination of words makes his brain stutter to a halt. Did Jun-kun mean actual holding? Or was it an euphemism? If so, what kind of euphemism? Did he mean it the same way Hiyori sort-of meant it? Did he even understand how Hiyori sort-of meant it?! Should he ask?
Nope. Of course he won't.]
... great!
[He responds with enthusiasm! Though his voice might be a tad flustered.]
All night long, we'll hold each other! Sounds good!
[(In reality, there will be no penetration of any kind until the night after Weiss's party. But that's okay. There's no rush!)]
[ And he's not in the mood to leave yet, so he'll continue to permit the hug. Wanting to bask in their shared warmth and hoping this feeling never ends. "There isn't much thought being put into his words, only expressing what first comes to mind with how he truly feels. The feeling of love is genuine. Wanting to be with Hiyori forever is sincere, and there is no one else he wants to love in his lifetime. In other words, Hiyori won!
Jun doesn't fully grasp the meaning behind Hiyori's euphemism. But his was also sort of an euphemism! Maybe not in the same way Ohii-san sort of meant it. ... at least not tonight! Not that Jun quite understands he has permission now. Jun thinks Ohii-san means what they did together during that week, where they held one another, and uh, did those things together! But truthfully, he wouldn't mind them holding one another euphemisms aside.
... or confusion aside!
Wouldn't it be easier to come out and say what he means? Probably! Maybe he needs to be more clear. He half-thinks he understands what Hiyori is implying, but they're not yet ready to take the next step, even if that's ultimately where they both hope to end up. (The case being with the gifts received from the Flower Maze to "encourage" them.)
Besides, they will get there... one day! ]
Yeah! I, uh, also mean what we did during our week together. But 'course we don't hafta do it tonight.
[ He sounds nervous, admitting to having those thoughts about Hiyori. But he had them during the week, had them after and will always have them.
Maybe feeling awkward would better suit his tone; he's trying to avoid using words Ohii-san would consider "crude," but it's not coming out as he'd like. ]
Ohii-san, what I'm tryna say is... if there's an "urge" and you wanna feel good! Well, I'm saying we can.
[He actually said it, causing Hiyori to stiffen up with surprise. Which, well, thank goodness someone's trying to be an effective communicator. Hiyori's generally of the opinion that it's better to hint than be explicit; such are the laws of fanservice. But it's a relief to know exactly what Jun meant, and to realize they're both on the same page.
Even if it does worsen the blush on his cheeks.
He holds the position a moment, still with his face tucked next to Jun's, before drawing back enough to see each other. Jun's own embarrassed smile effortlessly endears.
Though "if there's an urge and you wanna feel good" isn't exactly sweet talk. It's clumsy and boorish-sounding! Yet it's also just the thing to lighten the mood.]
I heard you loud and clear the first time!
[Hiyori chides without sounding mad. On the contrary, he's smirking.]
But Jun-kun's not wrong.
[He leans their foreheads together again, lowering his voice.]
I always feel good when I'm with him. And I'm sure he'll make me feel ve~ry good tonight.
[ If he didn't say it, who else would? Jun wants to be 100% certain they're on the same page, even though he's usually avoidant about his feelings. They could tip-toe about what they meant forever, or Jun could get over it and say what he meant.
But even then, he can't stop talking. Because what if that's not what Hiyori wants? There's no indication he doesn't, which is only Jun's fear taking hold again. Sometimes he can't figure out what Hiyori wants, and in this case, he has been skirting around the topic.
Perhaps if Jun knew how to put it into better words, it wouldn't come out clumsy and "boorish-sounding." He's not the type to eloquently string together words, it's only that he's avoiding using simple ones. ]
Well, I never know with you. I just wanted to make sure we were thinking the same, Ohii-san, 'cause I didn't wanna make an idiot outta myself.
[ He laughs, despite being chided. Thankfully he can tell Hiyori isn't mad, and he feels better for getting to the point. At least one of them did! His cheeks burn, half looking up as he nods. ]
It makes me feel better hearing that, y'know? I'm still learning, but I want Ohii-san to feel good. I wanna remember the way you look forever ♪ And I'm gonna do my best tonight for ya, too.
[If Jun didn't say it, neither of them would. They'd be forced to go to Rinne or someone else for help with dirty talk. And that would be tortuously embarrassing, so Jun taking the initiative is truly for the best!
... Really, it is for the best. It means he gets to see Jun's cheeks burn, hear him laugh. And it means they're both on the same page about what they'll be doing tonight. Jun can stay over, just as he did during the Springtime game.
And just as he'll do for so many more nights afterwards, when his suite becomes their suite.
The look in his eyes becomes less sly, more gentle. They're still talking about sex, but Jun saying he'll do his best for his sake makes him feel all soft.]
I know you will. You're Jun-kun, after all.
[He closes his eyes, smiling gently, feeling truly happy despite of everything that's gone wrong these past few months.]
I'll do my best, too. To make sure Jun-kun can't take his eyes off me ♪
