"If those are what they sound like I guess." His glove changes; the gem finally settles as a brooch near his heart. "...that looks probably fine?"

"It's... certainly less easy to damage. If you get your glove back does that force the gem back onto it?"

Glove returns. "Looks like no." He puts back the left one too.

What a silly constraint, then. He gets rid of his gloves and—

—his goes to his choker.

Well, fair enough. Gloves come back, gem stays on choker.

"You and Yamanaka'll match."

"Would be more romantic if I matched you," he says, but his heart kind of isn't in it. He's still scared and anxious.

Haru sighs and snuggles up quietly again.

When they get to Yutaka's building he will not particularly attempt to disembark from his boyfriend-conveyance. Yutaka can hold him all the way up the elevator and into the apartment, if he wants.

He does. He does want.

And he's... not even that hungry, it turns out, because he didn't actually throw up on this timeline. But his stomach still hurts for some reason. He'll ignore that.

"...I kind of want a shower but I don't want to let go of you so, um, do you mind if we're—not totally fresh to go to bed...? After we eat I suppose."

"...you could maybe talk me into showering with you, I'm kind of shaken up too."

"Uh."

"- or not, just a thought."

"No! Yes! I mean! I'm just! I maybe got dizzy from the horniness! Which is the worst possible—you just died—but—"

"Is there etiquette about having just died that I'm not following here, because, like, I do not like having died but I do like that you're - devoted -?"

"Well—I mean—I would—like it. I mean. If we. Showered together. And. Whatever else you wanted."

Haru leans over and kisses him.

Okay maybe his horniness is just broken because despite the fact that he's still kind of fucked up that is making him really horny. Or maybe because of it...? He's feeling kind of desperate for Haru right now and he wants Haru to himself and no one else and he wants to never ever lose Haru and that's kind of cashing out to needing Haru physically to an extent he did not know he could possibly need someone.

Haru... has decided, apparently, that this is a good tone to bring to the occasion. He detransforms in Yutaka's arms without breaking the kiss.

Yeah okay Yutaka can do that and do the "carry Haru to the upstairs bathroom" thing and—this feels like maybe a situation that calls for the hot tub? He doesn't want to break the kiss but probably Tub or shower? is sufficiently fluff-safe.

Haru points at the tub.

Tub it is! He can start filling it and, honestly, he is not going to particularly bother taking his clothes off before getting in it, he can pull his socks off with his toes then kind of start shimmying out of his trousers.

Haru alas feels it is pretty silly to get into a tub with clothes on and will stop kissing Yutaka for a second to get his shirt off.

Well fine Yutaka will pull his shirt off in record time, too, then.

...and, okay, maybe he will take a little bit longer to appreciate staring at Haru. "I've fantasised about you—so many times."

"Well, were you right?"

"Hmm, I don't know, so many of my fantasies were focused on putting my hands and my mouth on you, I'm going to need to try that before I find out how right I was."

Haru blushes. And takes off his shoes, and his pants.
