"It's no problem," he assured her, "I don't mind."

She nodded a little, "Thanks." She said, smiling a bit. She stayed silent for a moment, before speaking again. "Ne... Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead," he offered, looking at her, "Ask anything."

Midori paused a moment, trying to word her question correctly. "I was wondering, mostly because my mom mentioned it last night... What are we?" She asked, sort of gesturing from herself to him. Really, she probably wouldn't have thought of it, but, since her parents had been gone a good month, they must have wondered if maybe she had gotten a boyfriend in that time, and her mother had asked. And it had gotten her thinking. "Sorry if it's a weird question..." She murmured.

"It's not weird at all," he said, nodding a little, "It's a natural question. I've kind of wondered that myself, every so often. To me, it doesn't matter. We spend time together, that's enough for me. I can be whatever you want me to be, but I'd like to think that it's a good thing."

"It's a good thing..." Midori muttered, before sitting up, looking back down at him. "But I mean, are we like... a couple? We've been on a date - however weird it was - and I don't want to seem like I'm trying to rush anything, or push you into something you don't want, its just my mother is bothering me about it, and I want to be able to give her a real answer, and not lie. And... I don't want to think this is one thing if it's something else..." She stopped, realizing she was just rambling on now, looking down at her lap, feeling... She wasn't really sure, actually. Like... she was fearing rejection, and still a little embarrassed about the whole thing.

"I understand completely," he said, giving her a nod and a smile, "Let's call ourselves a couple then."
He was just going to say that. Not going to talk about it, just say it. Just throw it out there. It might work better that way, he figured. At least that was worth a shot. And he did care about her, very much due to their time together. He felt fine with it. Happy about it.

Midori continued to look down at her lap for a moment. She'd never really had a real - out of middle school at least - relationship with a guy, aside from in a sibling way. This was all still pretty new to her. But... she was happy when he was around, and wasn't that all that mattered? "Hmm... Well, then you'd better take me out on a proper date." She said, trying to look stern and not smile, which wasn't working.

He smiled a little, then gave a fake sigh, "If I have too..."
He gave a real smile and put a hand on her head, "Ok, I will," he said with a nod.

Midori gave a fake frown, trying to keep from smiling. But, it was hard to pretend to be upset when he started smiling. "Good." She said, smiling back at him. "But, until then... This is nice." She said, leaning back against him a little, hoping it wasn't too much. Although, she had been asleep on him earlier...

He circled an arm around her waist, nodding, "Yeah, it really is nice."
This was wonderful. Something new, something just pure wonderful.

Midori nodded, smiling. She wasn't used to this, but, she knew she would. She wasn't used to being able to be with a person she liked, and not have to fear being hurt by them, as she often did. And she didn't need to worry about not seeing him - they both worked, technically speaking, for the EMC after all - or about work getting in the way. This was as close to perfection as she would ever get, and she didn't mind at all.

"Midori-chan...if...if we manage to retrieve my body from the Hyper Space...then what?" he asked her, "I won't have an avatar to project any longer. And...I am an avatar now, not a real person here at your side..."
He wanted to know her thoughts on these matters.

Midori bit her lower lip. It was kind of hard to think about, but, she knew she would have to face it. "But, it's not the avatar that I like. It's you." She said, taking a breath before continuing. "When we get your body out of the Hyper Space I know you'll be broken, and I'm okay with that. I'll stay by your side as long as you want me here." She told him honestly, giving a faint smile.

He looked at her, actually surprised, and showing that on his face. He nodded, "Thank you," he said softly, almost at a loss for words. But if and when his broken body was recovered, he wouldn't want her to be stuck with him, not like that. She deserved better.
