"Uhhm....what are you eating?"
Jack, who was eating his salmon bento on the floor near his bed is stopped by Lily's question, He looked back and saw Lily with her tanktop on and 1 one her lace fell down to her arm, revealing quite a bit of skin.
"Fix yourself first" Jack said as he pointed at her clothes to which Lily immediately fixed, while from the outside he might not look interested at all, inside he's as flustered as he can be.
Lily saw Jack's nonchalant look at her kind of revealing figure, she really thought that Jack only sees her either as a little girl or a family, at most a little sister that is.
Lily sighed as she gaze at the still eating Jack, she really want to know what she should do to make him hers, the first move is probably the most important part of having a good relationship, thought her at least.
"Sit down here with me, I've bought you a bento just like mine." Jack said as he pats the empty space to his right, indicating her to sit there. Lily only followed his orders and sat next to him.
"Why don't you eat on the table, isn't it uncomfortable eating like this?" Lily asked as she took the bento Jack gave to her.
"Not really, it's pretty comfortable besides..."Jack paused and directed his gaze towards her then continued "You're here". After stating his reason, he looked away and focus on eating his meal.
Lily, still holding the Bento she got from Jack almost dropped it off, she was shocked, shocked by Jack's answer, though it might not necessarily have any hidden meaning inside it, she was still flustered nevertheless.
"Thank you....for everything." Lily murmured in a very small voice. Jack looked back at her and saw her pink face, he chuckled and pats her head as he comforted her
"Don't say thank you to me, I've always considered you as family." Jack flashed a small smile and it just got even wider when he felt a soft sensation on his right arm, he saw Lily leaning against his right arm.
Taking the chance, he wrapped her body into his embrace by putting her arm on her right shoulder, pulling her closer to his body, he felt happy, happy that Lily didn't resist his advancements and is positive that this is probably the right time.
Jack reached out to his left without moving his right part of his body as to not disturb his and Lily's comfortable moment. He took a box wrapped in gift papers and gave it to her, she seemed confused but seeing the warm smile he flashed her, she took it and opened it after getting Jack's permission.
Unwrapping the gift slowly she could see flashes of white here and there and after unwrapping the whole gift, she saw a box with a bitten pear logo on it. She looked at me and the box repeatedly and finished it with a question.
"Wha....is this....for me?" Lily asked in a really really confused manner, she probably knew how much it costs but she also should've known that money is not a problem for Jack as he had almost given her 500.000 Yen, for A DAY!
Jack didn't hold back anymore and laughed at her face, he can't understand how someone can be this cute when she's confused, he took out his own phone and showed it to her, front and back.
"Now, we're a pair." Lily opened the box and like Jack said, he found the same exact model of the phone but with different color, she knows that Jack said they're a pair in the context of phones but she can't help be startled when she heard the sentence.
"Stop gawking at your new phone, we'll set it up later, you should eat your food or it will get cold." Jack then got back eating his unfinished Bento
"Mnn." Lily reluctantly got out of Jack's embrace and ate her food slowly
Both of them chatted whilst eating their dinner together, though it is not a fancy dinner or some kind, both of them enjoyed the atmosphere they created as it enhances their relationship more and more, every second, every minute, every hour they spend together only strengthens their bond.

"Did you not go out today?" Jack asked while still laying on the bed, beside him is Lily in her Pajamas, hugging a pure white seal plushie.
"Mnn, i only do what we've done yesterday except i add a few more sets, i somehow feel amazing since yesterday's training session." Lily answered as she shifted her body towards me
Jack puts his body in a comfortable position, lowering his body a bit so he can talk to her face to face. "What do you mean?" Jack asked as he forgot his original intention.
"I don't know, ever since we came back from the abandoned factory, i can feel my body becoming stronger and my stamina increased to, now i can do the body training without wasting as much energy." Lily answered and she seemed hesitant on saying the next part but she continued anyways
"I now can also feel the presence of others"
"What do you mean by that?" Jack asked curiously, He knew Lily didn't have this kind of power in the canon and his interactions with Lily may have cause big changes
"Ehhm, how to say this, Today I've more or less figured out that i can feel anything that is within 3 m radius around me, when someone outside walked pass by our door, i can know his / her gender, height, and his / her distance from me."
Jack was lost in thought, he didn't knew how she got her powers, how strong it is, if it's dangerous or not.
"Do you feel any side effects or any of that kind?" Jack asked worriedly
"No, not yet probably." She answered while she tightened her grasp on the plushie
"Anything else that you feel different about? Can you do anything else than that?" Jack asked pretty loudly as if he was interested in the topic but truly he only wanted to check if this newfound power of her can help him protect her, help her protect herself.
"N...no" Lily scaredly answered, she didn't know why Jack asks this much question with so much...enthusiasm?
Seeing Lily's scared expression, he realized that he is unconsciously making a scary face due to his worriness of Lily's safety, Jack calmed himself down and said sorry for scaring her.
Lily of course accepted the apology and she grabbed Jack's hand while consoling him
"Don't worry about me too much, I'm sure I'll be fine" Lily said as she closed her eyes, trying to sleep with her hand still intertwined with Jack's
Jack chuckled to himself, even she herself didn't worry, he decided to just go with the flow, if something bad does happen to her, he will definitely use all of his power to protect her, though he himself knew the chances of having a power that disadvantages other is rare.
Jack grips Lily's hand, not letting it go, if Lily didn't mind her hand being in his while sleeping, why would he.
Both of them drifted off to their own respective dream world but one thing is common from both of them and that is the contents of their dream
Both of them are dreaming about their future as a couple, forever.
