INT. SAKUSA — KOYAMA APARTMENT — LATE AFTERNOON

INT. SAKUSA'S ROOM — LATE AFTERNOON

SAKUSA was finishing his chemistry homework when he heard a small knock on his door. The raven turned in his wheel chair to greet the brunette who walked in shyly after he welcomed her in.

SAKUSA
(Curious)
What's in your hands?

KOYAMA
(Grins).
Measuring tape.

SAKUSA
And?

KOYAMA
(Purses her lips).

KOYAMA pulled out her sketchbook from behind her back and placed it on SAKUSA's desk. The brunette had placed it under the desk lamp so that he could see her sketches without trouble.

SAKUSA was never allowed to look through KOYAMA's designs, since the brunette claimed that they were bad. He'd always have this prick of annoyance whenever he'd see the book lying around because it was a terrible temptation. To be allowed to look into now, because she was working on something for him, felt rather intimate.

KOYAMA
This page is the
first concept, I scrapped
it completely. You can
keep turning the pages
to see the whole process.

SAKUSA
Oh, this is a
piece of silk.
Navy blue?

KOYAMA
Mhm, it's for the
bottom layer.
Middle layer is
fleece, and the top
layer's going to be
nylon.

KOYAMA
I mean, you can
also wear wool
underneath, but
that could make you
all sweaty, and
that's not ideal.

KOYAMA
Eh, making coats is
confusing to me.
I've never done it
before, but, what do
you think of the final
design?

SAKUSA held onto KOYAMA's wrist and led her into him. KOYAMA's legs were trapped in between SAKUSA's, and the raven wrapped his arms around her waist. Laying his head on her stomach, SAKUSA closed his eyes and sighed with content. KOYAMA's right hand played with his hair, while her left hand traced circles on his back.

SAKUSA
I really like it.

KOYAMA
Really?

SAKUSA
Mhm.

KOYAMA
I'm glad.

SAKUSA
I trust that my girlfriend
won't make me look like a
stiff stick man. All the
nylon sweaters I've ever had
make me look stupid.

KOYAMA
(Laughs).
I promise you
you'll feel like
royalty every time
you wear it.

Silence ensued as they cherished the moment they were sharing. SAKUSA moved his head slightly so that he could look up at her. KOYAMA didn't look down, as she worried about SAKUSA noticing her double chin.

SAKUSA
Tsuru

KOYAMA
Mm?

SAKUSA
Look at me.

KOYAMA
Noooo

SAKUSA
I'm serious,
please.

KOYAMA
Fine.

SAKUSA
(Affectionate)
I love you.

KOYAMA
(Surprised)

SAKUSA
(Laughs).
Why are you looking
at me like that? You
want me to say it again?

KOYAMA
(Nods).

SAKUSA
(Embarrassed)
R-really?

KOYAMA
(Excited)
Yes.

SAKUSS
I l-love you.

KOYAMA
(Softly)
I love you
too Kiyoomi.

SAKUSA buried his face in KOYAMA's stomach. The brunette laughed uncontrollably as the sensation made her feel ticklish. SAKUSA laughed along with her since her laughter alone was contagious to him.

SAKUSA and KOYAMA soon regained their composure.

KOYAMA
Kiyo you're my
favorite person.

KOYAMA
I hope you don't mind
me taking over your closet
with more and more gifts.

KOYAMA
I may not know how to cook,
but I'll keep you warm, and I'll
help you with the chores,
and I'll support your volleyball
career, because I love love
you.

KOYAMA
I love love love love
love love love love—

SAKUSA placed his hand over KOYAMA's mouth, and he chuckled when she made fishy lips and started "kissing" his hand.

SAKUSA
Pfft I get it.

KOYAMA
(Smiles).

The brunette stepped back and SAKUSA let go of her. KOYAMA placed her hands on her hips.

KOYAMA
Now, what I came
here for.

KOYAMA
Stand up, I need to
take your measurements.

SAKUSA
Alright.

SAKUSA stood up and KOYAMA did her thing.

KOYAMA
Let me measure
your thighs?

SAKUSA
(Shocked)
What?
