[As always, the "..." hovers immediately, showing that Hiyori is typing up a storm!
... Or is he? It keeps disappearing and reappearing as he types and retypes his response. He's still red-cheeked on his end, tempted to continue the argument.
No, YOU put the idea in MY head!
Why am I acting like WHAT?
Why would I have to stay awake all the time? I could just sleep somewhere away from you, since it sounds like you don't like my sleeping habits, anyway!
He types all those things and more. But in the end, he deletes them all. Too much of what Jun's saying gives him pause. Admitting that he liked what they did together, for one thing, and calling him out on the fact he's acting like Jun's the only one who enjoyed it. That's not true, of course. But when it comes to that particular act, well... it's embarrassing to admit he liked doing something like that. He's very prideful. But Jun is more honest than he is.
And that "stay awake all the time" thing, well—that must mean Jun plans for them to sleep together more often, doesn't it? They're not roommates at home anymore, or even at the resort (not at this moment, anyway), but Jun still expects to see his sleeping face regularly.
It's just too much for him to keep acting pissy. Much of what Jun's saying makes his heart flutter. And then he gets to the end (which really is a whiplash), and the rest of his defensiveness just melts away. Jun-kun is saying he wants to spend time with him, saying he'll go to a resort or wherever with him, saying they'll do "everything" once they get home. Jun-kun, in other words...
is totally in love with him!!
Or he might be on that track, anyway. At the very least, Jun cares about him. And he's saying some very romantic-sounding things.
Hiyori ignores his watch for a second and flops down on his bed, reaching for one of the pillows. This isn't the first time he's hugged his pillow while thinking about Jun here, and it will not be the last! He'll spend a good hour doing that again when he discovers that Network thread where Jun talked about "taking a shot" with him!
He doesn't spend an hour this time. But he does bury his face in it and give it a good squeeze. Sometimes when he's overcome with emotion, he just wants to hug something or someone! Sort of like he'll eventually do onstage in America, when he's so moved by what Nagisa is saying that he grabs onto Jun and hugs him tight! ... if they ever get to that point in the timeline, that is.
It's a couple of minutes later that he sits up in bed, releasing the pillow and reaching for his watch screen. Alright, no more arguments! He'll try to return... some of Jun's honesty.]
Sounds like I don't need to wear perfume to drive Jun-kun wild with excitement! 😘
[... yep. That's how he chooses to open it: with teasing!
But the rest is more sincere.]
I found your "cat" side endearing, to be honest. But I don't need you to act like a cat, a hyena, or anything else. It's perfectly fine for you to just be yourself. Or, actually, it's more than fine. That's the "you" our fans grew to love, after all.
And that's the "you" I call my partner, and the one I love waking up next to.
[He shoots off that last one before he can overthink it, though writing it makes the tips of his ears burn. It's an awkward attempt to tie in their conversation about sleeping habits. And, of course, it's a confession that isn't quite a confession, but he's used to giving those.]
And the one I want to do those fun things with! Like go to different places, bask in the sunlight together, and so on. There's still fun to be had here, I'm sure. But I just can't wait to see what the future has in store for us at home.
[...]
I'm sure it'll be something even more beautiful than what we've experienced so far. That's my hope, anyway.
