Lilium Derived from Latin lilia, which may have come from a corrupted pronunciation of a word from an extinct Eastern Mediterranean language Humility, devotion, restored innocence after death
"Lovers used to give these when they were reunited."
Sure is. Because it's little stuff you like that you don't realize you like so you wouldn't ask. [she says, pointedly continuing to pet her fingers over his neck with a widdle scratchie up into the ends of his hair.]
[ tugs her a little closer to kiss her how about that for what he likes!!! (this is after he's giving another pleased little shudder at the scritchies so he is not winning this) ]
So it's you trying to figure out what I like. [ he can read between the lines!!! ]
[he's not, no, but she is because she gets bonus kisses. hell yeah.]
More like...both of us figuring out what you like. [but yes it is a ploy for her to know how to do little things for him on special occasions, what of it.]
Well...yeah. [she'll admit that much. cloud's not an idiot, he knows she was dating zack before and can probably figure out she learned some things about herself.] But you also know that means I'm not done figuring out what else I like, right?
[for example, she has recently learned she has a thing for pretty blonde men in dresses. that was new.]
Not in public, Cloud. [it's possible she's not even serious, but she likes the thumb on her cheek given the little pleased music note above her head.] But let's just say I wonder how good you are with your hands now. After all, you did pay for Madam M's highest course...
[the embarrassment is very funny, so she scritches at his neck again before her hands slide down and over his shoulders, to his arms, and then his forearms where they start to wind around her waist.]
I know. [ he is aware aerith isn't trying to rush things and also that this is a saturday thread and thus an absolute batshit time to do it but. ] But... [ it's not that I don't want to. he could say it out loud but no he just thinks it with a frown ]
[she will, thanks! she has explicitly told him how much she likes his muscles, horrible. anyway she hears that thought and there's a curious little hum.]
But you've had a rough couple of days. [it is an absolute batshit time to do it.] We'll try again another day after you've had more time to recover and things calm down around here. How's that?
[ it is horrible because she was drunk so cloud was like ok [dismisses it]. anyway he seems to relax his worries that aerith thinks he's [cloud voice] not interested, and he nods at her ]
... Yeah. That works. [ although. just to note: ] I'm not that bad off.

no subject
Because you already know what you like.
[ it's not really about that, and he's not disparaging to himself about it, more like a little wry. ]
no subject
[for example, she has recently learned she has a thing for pretty blonde men in dresses. that was new.]
no subject
Yeah? Anything I should know about?
[ he's half cheeky they have barely made out. also ftr he is brushing his thumb on her cheek again now that they have stopped kissing. ]
no subject

[LET IT GO ALREADY.]
no subject
It wasn't her highest course.
[ because the luxury course was 3k and he was Fuckin Poor, but he looks pained hte second he said it because it means he remembers the prices. ]
no subject
she's staring him in the eyes for a moment.]
You're thinking more about the money than what I just said, aren't you.
no subject
looking away, blushing, the //// over his head bright and too visible ]
Well, uh... Like you said. We shouldn't talk about that other part in public.
[ but it was expensive... he wouldn't pay that much....... ]
no subject
Then we won't.
no subject
... But we can in private. [ they haven't because of, uh, stares in himself, reasons, but he wants her to know it is still on the table. ]
no subject
Mmhm. Doesn't have to be today either though.
no subject

[ he's fiiiiine. proof: more kisses ]
no subject
Humor me a little and take at least one more rest day, okay? I won't even keep you in bed for it.
no subject
[ very funny thing to say to your gf in this particular argument. anyway; ]
... But sure. I'll rest.
no subject
Good. [watching their son run back very proud of a treasure he unearthed from the dirt.]
What do you say? Another lap around the lake and call it a night?
no subject
anyway he's accepting the dirt treasure with a head pat to the baby chocobo despite the fact that it is Absolutely Garbage ]
Alright. Probably about time we turn in anyway.
no subject
Where did you even get this...? [it's okay. silly baby bird...] Sounds good to me.
[and so they will walkies...and go home. puts saturday thread away.]
