As he floated there, he thought about what Hikari had asked, what he would like if she were to make dinner for him. He didn't really have all that many favorites, and all in all wasn't that picky of a person when it came to food. But he wasn't about to let this opportunity pass him by, and so thought long and hard about it, wondering just what he wanted her to make. He didn't want something plain or boring, but didn't want to have Hikari make anything too fancy either. Why was it that when someone asks you what you want to eat, that it becomes such a hard decision to make? It made no sense. But there he was doing his usual, and overthinking it.<br/><br/>Staring up at the sky, watching the clouds go by, it could almost lull him to sleep, if he wasn't so busy racking his brain in what he wanted to eat. Then and idea came to him, something that would be so that they BOTH would be able to help in the making of the dinner. Clearing his throat to get her attention, he then glances over at her for a moment before speaking up. "How about...how about a hot pot? We can both bring something to put in it...to make together..." Now that he said it out loud, he realized just how much he'd longed for someone to share a meal with other than his own family, and now that longing was about to come true. The thought of it made him smile a little as he watched a flock of birds fly overhead.<br/><br/>This whole scene...it was perfect. For once he felt relaxed, at ease. And it was all thanks to Hikari. At first on the mission he'd been dreading having to be with someone else for that long, but now...now he was grateful that it had happened, otherwise he wouldn't have met Hikari, and most likely he'd be still stuck in the same rut as he'd been in before, closed off to the world, unfeeling, cold, lonely. He wouldn't have started feeling happiness again, or have felt laughter in his chest once more. Before Hikari, he'd almost forgotten what it felt like to even smile, he was so used to having a blank expression on his face, or a frown. But now...just in one day, he'd smiled, blushed, felt joy, laughed, held a girl's hand. All these new experiences...because of her.<br/><br/>He couldn't help but wonder just what she felt on the whole situation, but being himself he wasn't sure how to speak his mind about those sort of things yet, and so kept silent. However, he did look at her again, before turning on to his stomach, diving under the water.  It was a pleasant temperature, and felt great against his skin as he moved along in the depths, easily able to see what was underneath the surface. He didn't stay long under, though in all honesty he could hold his breath for over five minutes. Resurfacing, he shakes his head so his hair flips back and forth, water droplets flying everywhere. Once he'd stopped moving, his hair looked slightly spiked in appearance, sticking up in places.<br/><br/>Looking over to Hikari, he speaks up again. "How long were you wanting to stay out here? If you wanted...well, we could go do something else too." He didn't mind what they did, as long as she was there with him. For some reason, even when dealing with others...having her there seemed to calm him down faster than if he was by himself. No doubt if he'd been alone and ran in the others from earlier, he probably would have done something drastic with dire consequences. But having her there, and a goal in mind, well it somehow quelled the animal like anger that he'd felt.
