[With his elbows leaning against his legs, his face still buried into his hands, he slowly turns to face Futaba. He's still red in the cheeks, so full of warmth and, more importantly, love. When he opens his mouth to speak it's muffled, but he stares her in the eyes, expression soft, the smallest quirk of a smile at the edge of his lips as he says:]
[Oh... that reaction. She's not sure if it's good or bad, but the way he's not answering and then he gets down to bury his face and—]
Is that a no—
[But... ah, it's a yes. Futaba smiles a little sheepishly, kinda embarrassed that she initially thought otherwise, but here he was, smiling at her anyway.]
I know you said you don't like your whole name, but... I like it. Is it... okay if I just call you Daisuke sometimes? Not like, all the time, you're just always Bones, but... times like this. You know, special times. Like on birthdays and stuff. It just felt right to say now.
[Of course it's a yes. He just needed some time to get his head around what just happened. And now that he has, he can't stop smiling at her.
Reaching out, he takes her hand in his and pulls her onto his lap, letting her adjust until she's comfortable.]
Ain't no one's said the like my name before. [His parents don't count. His tone is soft, almost as whisper as he mulls this over in his head. It's certainly an idea.] An' ain't really anyone ever called me that either. But if it's you, I can live with that.
[You know, as long as he's happy with it, she won't complain. Once she gets herself comfortable, Futaba listens. Of course, she wouldn't keep doing it if he had said hell no, so him being receptive to it is... nice.]
Well yeah... I won't do it all the time, since I know you don't like it. But I think it fits you. You have a lot of love in your heart for your friends... and me. I won't call you by your entire name, just... Daisuke. Otherwise you'll still just be Bones to me.
[Hearing her say that makes him blush all over again. He leans into her burying his face into her neck and shoulder, his voice coming out muffled against her.]
You lucky you's cute, babe. Ya couldn't get away with it if you wasn't.

[Beat chuckles lightly, smiling despite himself.]
