[honestly she'd be more startled if he was loud about it, actually, so this suits her fine because normally cloud has resting bitchface about most things anyway. besides, this really is just for her. it's a private, coveted thing, something she can keep for her own memories and know exactly what affects him and what he might like.
she's aware that she should maybe slow them down and little and stop pushing him, but she's also aware she kinda doesn't want to? cloud can hit the breaks whenever he wants, and there's a surprised little sound when she feels him drag her closer. they really are extremely close already. there isn't exactly a ton of space for her to go closer now that she's very much settled on top of him, but she's also not going to discourage his hand from wherever it's going right now. she's more or less mimicking motions at this rate. or, perhaps, setting an example for cloud to follow.]
Sometimes...it was hard to tell. [because cloud's so focused on their mission. because aerith has her own problems to focus on. because there's a sixteen year old out there waiting for them. because there's a whole team of their friends they're missing. a multitude of reasons to be unsure, but this does make it much more clear.] Like you weren't sure if you were ever interested.
