ix. energy
-saving matter

.

Houtarou wasn't sure which one was less energy-consuming.

Being dragged around, again and again to solve countless mysteries that never seemed to stop popping up and always caught her attention leading to him always solving them which he still had no idea about how or why exactly all these matters — her matters — had become his 'have to do' things.

Or having her trapped between him and some things — a chair, a table, a wall or just him — and capturing her never-ending words of curiosity in her sweet voice within his own lips. The best part was after that, when he rested his forehead against hers watching her eyes sparkling timidly, beautiful and purple and all, her words forgotten, her face like a ripe strawberry ready to be eaten and he dived for more.

Sure, the former required more work to be done but the latter should be illegal regarding a healthy heart rate. It always left him short of breath like he had just run a mile which was impossible to actually happen because he would only walk and definitely less than a mile.

Either way it was her fault, partly his but mostly hers.

And to think that his matter was saving energy..

All in all, he wasn't that sure which one was less energy-consuming but the thing he knew was that the latter was way more fascinating and somehow, he was willing to waste his energy to do it for the rest of his life.
