Ayato's POV:

I'll admit, I was a bit too forward with Thoma at the hot spring, like Ayaka I should've went for a kiss or something, still, no matter how I made a move, if he didn't like me already to some extent then my chances with him would still be low. In any case, I didn't have anything I wanted to do in particular, so I just took Thoma out to eat Rice Cake Soup, Traveler told me that it was his favorite after I asked, I wouldn't have had to, but despite Ayaka and I both inquiring he just told us "anything" because I think he didn't want to come across as picky. After we ate, I payed for us despite him insisting on doing so instead. He gave in eventually, and so we headed home and talked about his experience with almost getting his vision taken away. I had felt horrible for how bad he was treated, glad it was now long over. I wanted to comfort him so I gave him a close embrace and kissed him. 

"I'm glad you didn't have it taken away, or else you wouldn't be as warm and happy as you've always been. Either way though, I'll still love you." he hugged me, tight. "I would still love you too in that case." Thoma told me, I thought he would try to correct himself, but it had already been 10 seconds and he hadn't. I wanted to stay in this moment forever with him, after all, I didn't know if he would choose me or not. This one week could've been my only chance to have moments like these with him. After, we walked home and stepped into his room, "So.. what now?" he asked, awkwardly. "Let's.. perhaps.. lay on the bed?" I propose. He agrees and I lay down, he plops down on the bed and nuzzles up to my chest. 

"Hey, Thoma-" I call out quietly, "Hm- What is it-?" He mumbles, tiredly. "Did you.. do this with Ayaka last week?" I ask him. "No, not really.. why?" he inquires. "No reason.. just abit curious" he nods off to sleep, but not before telling me good night followed by a yawn. The room was dim so neither of us had a problem going to sleep. I had woke up with our legs intertwined and his arms wrapped around my chest. Though it made me a little jealous that this is probably what Ayaka saw when they slept in the same bed, I found comfort in the here and now. I fiddled with my fingers while waiting for him to wake up at his usual time. "Good morning Ayato.." he looked at me woozily then sat silent for a good moment or two. "AH- UM-" he had noticed our current position and shifted his legs and scooted away, I'm assuming that he didn't realize that when he was drinking his lemonade last night, he hadn't realized how it was listed as "Lemonade avec un peu d'excitation" aka lemonade with a bit of excitement, translated underneath. I know he's bad with alcohol so I asked him if he was sure that's what he wanted, even informing him it was alcohol. Yet he was too busy with talking to someone sitting behind us in the restaurant to notice. Something learned about him, he stays in his right mind when he's drunk, only becomes extremely honest and unbothered.
