[ she's grinning and pleased but he looks torn between being a little offended at how sure she is it's new to him (which like. yes. it kind of is. but shut up.) and also a little overwhelmed with the idea of setting the pace. can't she just. tell him what she wants. what the hell. ]

You don't have to slow down for me. [ which isn't quite what she said, but is what it sounds like to him? ] I'm not... [ hmmm. no. ] I can keep up.

[ with whatever she wants!!! he can handle it!!! he is a big boy!!!!! <= thinking this makes him a loser ]

[residentflorist]

[cloud. sweetheart. you can't mentally bitch about being assigned a virgin and also mentally bitch that she should say exactly what she wants. she still looks fairly amused, hand rubbing along the back of his neck for a moment.]

Sure about that?

[





did you remember it's alpha week, why the FUCK would you say that because now it's a Challenge.]

[residentmerc]

[ don't use logic against his ass. also. it's alpha week for both of them so ]

Wouldn't say it if I wasn't.

[ :/ ]

[residentflorist]

[she lifts her face from his neck finally, pulling back just a little to look him in the eyes. yeah? yeah, bottom??? do not forget you brought this upon yourself, cloud.

that is to say she just very pointedly grinds down against his lap since she's here.]

[residentmerc]

[ OK HE DIDN'T THINK HER PACE WAS THAT FAST well the good news for aerith is that while there is a pretty blush on his face now, the surprised noise he let out is probably as loud as he'll ever get and he's staring at her wide-eyed but he doesn't look. like. against this turn of events? just. very surprised. ]

--That's your pace? [ a little squawked because. AERITH? he's hiked his hand back to grasp under her thigh at the grind. mostly reflexively and also. pretty girl he is into kissing wants to grind in his lap he's not not into it even if he is very flustered about it ]

[residentflorist]

[oh this is so funny, please help. the amusement does not at all go away from her expression but she does at least stop what she's doing to let cloud's hand grip her. there's also just a very innocent blink. guileless behavior, as if she doesn't know exactly what she's doing here.]

What's wrong? I thought you could keep up. [she's not directly making fun of him, but she is proving a point. cloud. cloud pay attention. she is very much more experienced than you are and that was the point of you setting the pace.]

[residentmerc]

I can. [ a little sulkily, because it's a challenge, but also glancing at her face and then back at their lap and looking more flustered because [virgin voice] good heavens ] I just didn't you'd... want that.

[ or more precisely want that so fast, it's not like he thought aerith was too pure to be a sexual being or something. just. y'know. they have kissed for the first time 20 minutes ago ]

[residentflorist]

[hm...using both hands to pet his cheeks before holding them so she can peck his lips. cute.]

I don't. Not right away, I think, but...I'm not against it, maybe? [and for a moment she actually falters herself, like she's taking a moment to kind of go "hm perhaps this is too much too fast for him."] If that's what you decide you want, too. It doesn't have to be that much, this is also fine.

[sort of. she is still pretty much centered right over his dick at this rate, i'm realizing.]

[residentmerc]

[ my TYPO i missed a wHOLE WORD. anyway yeah she's very much on his dick small leave him alone and he is aware of this, thanks. please do not pay attention to his dick ma'am he is not mentally ready to have to acknowledge that ]

... As long as it's not right away, I'm... [ oh admitting this while she's sitting there and also holding his face so he can't turn away is. woof. but he can do it he's gonna do it ] I'm not against it, either.

[ ohhhhhhh he did it. he said it. please kiss him instead that was easier to deal with he's not gonna stop blushing for a bit ]

[residentflorist]

[listen he said to stop grinding, she's not going to pay attention to his dick right now. "that's not what cloud said" said to stop grinding. which is, hm, a little difficult because she's here and she finds herself closing her legs a little around him which probably doesn't help much either. it's more of an afterthought than a real movement, but her fingertips stroke over his jaw for a bit.

admittedly she probably needs to calm the fuck down anyway. she's not insane. she wouldn't sleep with him right away, not when they're very obviously figuring things out, but she does stand firm in her decision that she's willing to go his pace to explore things, even if it's forcing her to think about the things she would accept from him right now.

kissing's a good start though, and when he agrees with her she smiles a little, scooting forward again to kiss him gently. it's a little softer and sweeter, something deep and coaxing him to follow along for a few moments.]

You're cute, you know that? [eheh.]

[residentmerc]

[ no it does not help, but that's fine, he can ignore it in favor of focusing on her smile, or the way her fingers trace his jaw, or, admittedly best distraction of all, kissing. kissing is easy! kissing is great! he is completely fine with following along to something deep, too, rubbing over the top of her spine with his fingers.

none of that stops him from looking like he's pouting when she calls him cute ]

Aerith. [ grumble. she's not gonna take cute back and he doesn't really want a different compliment either, but also, she is terrible and needs to stop teasing him why did he sign up for this ]

[residentflorist]

[again, 100% fine with his fingers over her spine as evidenced by the tiny shiver that follows. but this does not stop her from looking very fond and also like she's very much enjoying the fact he's pouting. this does nothing to clear up the cute allegations.]

Cloud? [yes? did you need something?]

[residentmerc]

[ he knows it is futile and she's not going to take it back, which honestly only makes the pout very manly frown a little more pronounced, but fine!! fine. he'll say it: ]

I'm not cute. [ >:T ]

[residentflorist]

[without missing a beat:]

I could call you sexy if that's what you wanted.

[no this is just to fluster him in the opposite direction.]

[residentmerc]

[ aslkdjgdsmg

give him a second to reboot he regrets being a pale bitch so much rn it's way too obvious when he's blushing ]

... Think I had enough of that when you were hanging off my arms on Tuesday. [ this is the best come back he can give here he is doing his best ]

[residentflorist]

[this does nothing to change her mind he's very cute right now.]

That was a little different. Have you ever actually looked at your arms before? [this is actually also a terrible comeback, aerith what.]

[residentmerc]

[ it is a terrible come back because he just tilts his head lightly to the side and raises an eyebrow, not really looking as flustered now ]

... Yeah. I've seen 'em.

[ he does in fact. own them, even. ]

[residentflorist]

[letting her eyes drop to his arm and back up to his face.]

So you can kind of see where I'm coming from.

[no, he cannot, because what aerith is not specifying is she was just enough on the side of whitegirl wasted she was letting her mind wander off envisioning the things cloud could do with said-arms. like princess-carry her if she wanted. or holding her down. or just holding her period. it's fine, we don't need to think about that.]

[residentmerc]

[ honestly he is looking at his arms like ? because it's not like cloud is anywhere near the buffest guy she knows either... well maybe in this fucking murdergame. twink city. ]

... Not really? [ he is also not thinking of these things. but he has princess carried her before and i think that's important to note. she's right he could. ]

[residentflorist]

[aerith: i'm not some princess who needs to be coddled
also aerith: but you could if you wanted i guess 🥺]

...just trust me, it's different. [she still will not explain thank you goodbye.]

[residentmerc]

Uh-huh. [ skeptical. his turn to kiss her again also, though this is mostly so she can't see how he rolled his eyes a little ] Sure. Whatever you say.

[residentflorist]

[she happily accepts this kiss, thank you. but also fucking rude?]

...so maybe I like your arms and I've developed an appreciation for 'em. What's wrong with that? [geez!!!!]

[residentmerc]

Didn't say there was anything wrong with it.

[ does he still seem to think it's funny now that she's sober and kissing him? yes. ]

[residentflorist]

Oh, so there's just something wrong with me calling you cute! [pokes him squarely in the cheek, but not very hard. ruuuuuude.]

[residentmerc]

Yeah.

[ UNREPENTANT, he is soooo manly and not cute at all smh. but also he has a stupid stupid urge which it is alpha week so he follows through on, and that is to turn his face to mock bite at the finger poking him ]
