( he's seen her bring them over countless times to go through them herself during their study sessions while he worked his way through the homework and lessons she'd assigned him, but he hadn't gotten a chance to read any of them. he kept hoping that there might be enough time before she had to bring them back, but there never was.
which was fine! hiyori gave him plenty of other books to read. he was just hoping to read the same books as her when she was reading them or at least right after she finished so they could talk about them. one of the best things about books, after all, is getting to discuss them! and he really wanted to do more of that.
he's grinning back when he takes them. )
Thank you! Do you need me to pay you back for them?
( he's sure she can afford them, but it's the principle of the matter! he's making money these days, so it's only fair. )
[ Accidents happen and at least he had the decency to look embarrassed, unlike a certain sweaty-palmed someone that will not be named!
More importantly, Yukine is visibly glowing at his gift and it fills Hiyori with a happy warmth that spreads from her chest to the tips of her fingers and toes. Though she knows that physically, he won't grow any further than the age he is right now, she thought it was important for him to continue his studies — something he wholeheartedly agreed with, by the way he devoured every text-book she handed over.
Sometimes, she found herself wondering what it would be like to go to school with Yukine; if he were alive. Would they have been friends if they met under those circumstances like they are now? Possibly. Probably? He was handsome, so Hiyori was certain he would have been popular with the girls, at the very least.
— Whoa. Just where did that thought come from?
A mental slap to the face before chalking it up to the heat was enough to pull her back to the present — quickly dismissing his question about payment with a wave of her hand. ]
You're welcome! And no way! I bought these for you, they're a gift!
