[She must really be set on it, to bring it up again so soon. And the fact that this time she didn't open with "maybe the three of us could get a place together" makes him think that, maybe, it wasn't helping Kokichi that had prompted this. She must just be ready to take that step already.]
[Which...isn't all that surprising, really. Kaede isn't exactly a model of patience. She doesn't dip her toes in the pool, she just dives right in.]
Mmm...not much. I thought about it a little bit while I was waiting for the two of you to finish talking, but after that...
[After that things got Busy and he hadn't spared it a second thought. He nuzzles her nose a little with his cheek.]
[Kaede "leaping in with both feet" Akamatsu at it again.
And maybe it is a big step -- or it would be, normally. If they were at home, and things were normal, she wouldn't even dream of it. They're still high school students, after all! But they're dead, or narrowly-saved, or something, and there just doesn't seem a reason to hesitate. Not when they've gone so far together already.
She hums quietly, pressing her lips briefly to his cheek.]
Mmm... yeah. We could have more space, and some places have kitchens, and Oma-kun could come hang out with us more easily... if we're really going to be here for a long time, we really should get a place with at least more than one room, don't you think?
Of course...I didn't think we'd stay in these cabins forever. [Especially not Kaede, given her spending habits. At the very least, she needs somewhere with a bigger closet.] I just...didn't think we'd be discussing the possibility so soon.
[Of course he didn't. Because if left to his own devices, Shuichi moves at the pace of a half frozen snail.]

I'm guessing you have though, huh?

Is it too soon?
[She pulls back just enough to meet his eyes, lips curving into a concerned frown.]

[They've had sex how many times now?]
It just...seems like it is.

[She hums quietly, pressing her lips to his cheek again for another gentle kiss.]
If you think it's too soon, we don't have to. But you have to promise you'll think about it, okay?
[Not much... would change... with how often she stays over already.]
no subject
[He'll come around, soon enough.]
M-mm! [He nods, giving her hand a little squeeze.] I can do that, promise.
