[ they cannot actually get any closer than they are at this point, what happens is just cloud leaning back a little further on the bed instead to try and accommodate her. or it's what should happen, but when he leans back a little he uses his hold on her leg to hike her closer? somehow? cannot emphasize how they absolutely cannot be more pressed than this guys stop trying!!! he's still got a hand cupping her face into this kiss, brushing her cheekbone this time as they go full make out with tongue now i guess. there's the slightest pleased hum, noise that only she can hear because she is that close. henwo. he is enjoying himself actually ]

[they really, really cannot get closer. and maybe they should not get closer, but it's okay. cloud leans back and pulls her with him, and there's an agreeable little murmur when she settles over him again while one of her hands slides up to cradle the back of his head. they really are going full make out and she's more than okay with this, and even when she hears him it means she's responding with a little more enthusiasm. she's keeping her cheek in the palm of his hand, eyes closed and body aligned with his while her tongue's busy making itself comfortable in cloud's mouth and guiding him along to show him what she likes.

then again, he's always been a quick study. it shouldn't surprise her that he picks up on it pretty fast, just like it shouldn't surprise him that the answer is a softer sigh into it. please continue and do not pull back anytime soon.]

[ it shouldn't surprise her, because he truly is a quick study! and he is studying her mouth right now. i hated writing that. he's studying her reactions and taking note of what she likes for real though, and he doesn't seem like he wants to pull back, which is good! what is breathing, no one cares, that's what noses are for.

anyway they cannot and should not get any closer, but cloud's moving his grip from her leg now that it is secured over him as far as it can go back to her waist. to pull her flush against him some more. YOU CANNOT MELD IT'S FRIDAY ]

[THEY CAN AND SHOULD NOT MELD TOGETHER and yet cloud's pulling her flush against him and it means she's tightening her legs around him a little further. maybe they can't meld, but somehow this does not stop aerith's hands from moving, slowly slipping from cloud's hair to dip into the back of his shirt and brush over the skin of his shoulders.

they're also close enough that she rocks her hips forward a little, something to encourage him to keep leaning back but enough that she gives off the message she doesn't want to separate. there's a hand shifting from her leg to her waist and it drags a small shudder out of her with the movement. what is breathing, they have noses and their mouths are still too busy to think about much else, but her fingers press a little into his skin, nails dragging over lightly and back up to the nape of his neck.

i hope they fall off the bed at this rate.]

[ they should fall off the bed. unfortunately cloud is scootching backwards further on the bed, since she's sitting on his lap. he is getting dangerously close to not being able to keep sitting up straight and dragging her down on top of him on the bed, which. they should not do.

they're not there yet, though, and the hand inside his shirt is ... interesting, in an expected way. it's his turn to sigh into the kiss a little, approving. what he doesn't expect to also find interesting is the light drag of nails against it, and his grip on aerith's waist tightens a little. not enough to hurt but enough to be firmer. mm. okay. kind of into that. he lets his other hand drift over her jaw, back up her cheek, like a soft pet of approval.

is she into it if he breathes her name into the kiss because. uh. he does that ]

[fall off the bed and be judged by several plushies hiding under it yeah. however, cloud is going the wrong way to fall off the bed and that's fine by her. she's steady on his lap, following every move he's making and letting him more or less support her weight. she's also following along with any little sign of pleasure from him, any hints that what she's doing is enjoyable for him, and with the tighter grip on her waist it means she lets her nails scritch up his spine just a little, right at the back of his neck.

the approval pet is also nice, as is the way he says her name as if it's only meant for her to hear, and there's a responding, quiet whimper back into the kiss herself. anyway the other problem is now she really is trying to knock him on his back so they're not sitting up anymore, but it's mostly because she just wants to be as close as possible. it's just that there is no more closer. she wants to be in his hands as much as she can, fit against him in a way that's comfortable and she delivers the lightest bite to his lower lip in response just for funsies. just to see what he'll do.]

[ i'm going to be honest he is still following her lead so her determination to knock him on his back leads to him simply going along with it and laying back on the bed, dragging her along on to just lay on top of him. it is also partially because he kind of really liked the quiet whimper from her. this is dangerous territory, is what i'm saying.

he shuddered at the scritch up his spine and he's making the lightest noise of appreciation at the bite, so if she wanted to know what he'll do, there's that. there's also the way his hand drifts a little lower now that they're lying in bed, touching the butt... he did it he touch the butt... it's a light touch like he's not sure if he's allowed but it's THERE ]

[every now and then i remember they are literally 21 and 22 years old and this really is a danger zone, but here they are. here they are? cloud easily lays on his back and brings her with him, and she's laying flat against him to keep up with the kiss. her legs are sprawled on either side of his hips, skirt preventing her from going too much further but they're chest to chest so appreciate her boobs too, i guess. she has a harder time sticking her hands under his shirt this way, but it means they're trailing around to the front, featherlight touches over his neck and shoulders and the top of bare arms, mostly anywhere she can reach. she is also extremely unbothered by the fact she can feel his hand drifting. she's so unbothered, in fact, that when she feels the hesitance she carefully reaches back to take his wrist and bring his hand up a little higher on the butt. that's allowed.

her hand returns, fingers stroking over his jaw and teeth biting down on his lip again a little more, slowing down the kiss a little to explore and letting her tongue soothe over the bitten area. it's a soft suck of his lower lip, a swipe over the seam of his mouth and she's really, really doing her best not to squirm on top of him but honestly this is, again, dangerous territory. literally what are you both doing.]

[ they are making out lying down on a bed is what they are doing.

he appreciates her boobs. she can also appreciate his, except she is probably much more taken with his arms. that's fine, he's appreciating that she is dictating the butt is fine. since it's fine, he's, uh. well his touch is light but this is still a grope. he is appreciating her assets. get it.

he's licking back and even does an experimental soft nip of her lips of his own, his hand drifting from her face slowly to be a little more towards the back of her head, playing with her braid like he kind of wants to run his fingers through her hair there.

but also she's on top of him literally straddling him and she doesn't need to be squirming for him to be a tad affected, so he tilts his head just enough out of the kiss to break it and stare at her with half-lidded eyes from very up close. ]

Aerith. [ breathing her name half into her mouth again, but he doesn't actually have a follow-up; he thinks they should slow down because he doesn't want her to think he's pathetic if he gets too into this if you know what i mean, and more importantly because they said maybe later, and he wants to abide by that. but also. he doesn't like really want to slow down so. uh. idk, just looking at her like a dork. ]

[she can multitask and appreciate multiple things, and these things are his arms, his pecs, and the hand on her butt. not necessarily in that order. then again the groping does kind of make that jump a little higher on her priority list but it's fine.

all of this is so, so fine by her and there's a slightly louder gasp when he bites back, but when he breaks the kiss and looks up at her she lifts herself up just a tiny bit to stare into his eyes (equally half-lidded, because she's very much focused on how this feels at the moment thank you very much.) it's for that reason it takes her a second to register why, exactly cloud pulled off, and there's a coy little smile following.]

...still too much, right? [yeah they. they need to slow down even though she very much is interested in pushing his limits a little further.] S'okay. We can stop whenever you want.

[...she says this but her tone's equally breathy because, uh, it's a little hard not to be into what they were just doing.]

[ there is a very slow blink back at her coy smile. like when a cat is trying to show affection. he is still for the record groping her butt. ]

Didn't say I wanted to stop. [ that's important to note. he doesn't want to stop because he's enjoying himself, even if this is a little intense. he kisses at her jaw experimentally ] But we're...

[ doing a lot? going maybe fast? he's not sure. it's not like he feels overwhelmed or anything. nervous, a little. less so when he hears the breathiness of her tone, though. but. hmmm. he sort of shrugs like figure it out aerith you have called out my inexperience enough ]

[it's half-intrigue and half-amusement that she does not move his hand from her butt but it's fine. cloud's not being weird about it so she lets this happen, even when she tilts her head into the kiss to her jaw with a low, satisfied noise.

right. focus. be the braincell. you're a woman of integrity. you know how to apply limits. you have full control here.

you...have a very cute, kissable blond man under you, what the fuck do you mean things have to slow down ugggggh. she still stands by that they won't go that far because it's way, way too fast. but cloud says he doesn't want to stop, exactly, and she's letting her mind wander a little. they are doing a lot. that is true. but...but.]

Technically, there are things we can keep doing that aren't...you know. [actually having sex. she is not shy about saying it, she just thinks cloud would fluster like a baby virgin. they aren't kissing anymore, so she rests her cheek against his chest and shoulder.] But we're going a little fast, I get it. I guess I just got carried away because I've wanted to kiss you for a little while, and this week really...really kept us busy.

[they are both still healing from stabs and burns, but she has been careful for a reason.]

[ they're not kissing anymore so his hand kind of drifts back up to the small of her back when she rests on him, because they are not doing... you know. she's not entirely wrong that he'd get a little flustered, but he's not flustered by the concept of sex or anything like that. he's not even flustered or surprised when it comes to someone wanting him like that. but. at the same time it is different, if it's aerith, and if it might happen for real. so maybe a little unsure. a bit of trepidation.

not today is doing a lot of work to squash it. ]

It's been a rough week. But... don't worry about that. We haven't gotten carried away yet. [ he doesn't want her to think she went too fast--at least not on her own. he was going along with it. anyway. yet, was the point. although. he shouldn't ask, but he's curious, and-- ] Things?

[ things, multiple? ]

[not today really is doing a lot of the work here, so that's nice. she doesn't mind that his hand moves to her back, and her fingers brush over his cheek lightly from her position on top of him with a little noise of agreement. yeah. yeah, it sure has been a rough week.]

And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't let us anyway. [a little quip, because she knows how cloud is. they're figuring it out together and she does think he'd pump the brakes on this if he really wanted to. but she hears him questions "things" and she tilts her head to look up at him, still grinning a little mischievously.]

But yeah, things. Wanna hear 'em? [now she really is just teasing him, but this is fun for her. she kind of likes the idea of walking cloud through things.]

[ he hums in agreement, because. yeah. he is very good at saying no. it is his favorite activity.

but. this follow-up is kind of a trap, probably? cloud tucks some of aerith's hair behind her ear and raises an eyebrow. a trap or a challenge both and cloud decides to just. go for it. why not. ]

... Yeah, I do. [ he thinks probably it will be embarrassing, but he does want to know. it's like when he was trying to get her list of little things out of her earlier. he likes knowing what she wants outright. ]

[it's a little bit of a trap, but it's fine. she's not going to let anything bad happen here, and when he moves her hair behind her ear she tilts her head to go with the motion. alpha week really is helping here, if only because it's helping cloud go for it while aerith herself is more comfortable following along with his pace.]

Well...[and here, her fingers trail down his jaw, a slow line over this throat and a little down his chest.] I do have two perfectly good hands. But that still might be a little bit overwhelming for you if you've never done this before. Or...you can try on me?

[she really offers this because she thinks this might be where cloud balks and she's fine with that, too. it's all about seeing what he's thinking.]

[ alpha week is truly doing. so much work. in making him less hesitant.

he follows her finger as it goes down, a little distracted, so when she finishes talking he has a frown like he doesn't quite get it immediately. let him put it together as he thinks. hands... not doing it before... on her--

oh. ]

Oh. [ he says it bluntly, a little too loud, and then he's blushing lightly as he looks at her hands more, back to speaking more quietly; ] Oh. You mean...? [ okay well he hadn't been thinking about it, and it's not unappealing, but she's not wrong that the idea is a little overwhelming, letting her touch--or--see--

but then there's the other option, and that's... less overwhelming. interesting, even. he lets his eyes trail down what he can see of aerith's body. his face is still a little flushed. on me, she said. ]

... I... [ he licks at his lips, feeling stupid. ] Your hands are doing plenty. But I... [ he pets over her back, looking away from her eyes ] Wouldn't mind trying? On you.

[ wording it is actually harder damn ]

[she does kind of jump a little in surprise at the sudden volume, but it's not like anyone else can hear them. cloud's quick to quiet down again and she seems to be waiting for him to work that through his brain and decide how he feels about it.

she would love to know why the idea of touching her is somehow less overwhelming, but...she would really attribute it to cloud being shy. it makes sense. and while aerith isn't really shy it's nont like she'd be doing or offering this for anyone else either. he can probably feel the rise and fall of her back as she breathes, fingers still tracing little patterns on his shoulder and chest where she can reach, and she watches him look away even when he agrees with her.]

...okay. Then we can let you try and see if you like it. ["see if you like it" as if she's not propositioning he touch her wherever he feels like.] Don't think too hard about it. Whatever you think feels right.

[because they both know she will, actually, coursecorrect him if he's extremely wrong here.]

[ it's about being perceived, aerith, this should not be that hard to figure out. (yeah he's shy.) ]

... You don't have to say if. [ in this case, it seems kind of obvious. but it is probably funny that she is giving him whatever he feels is right range and for now he keeps one hand tracing up and down her spine. something about feeling her breathe on top of him is... nice. the other one is moving to...

the back of her head, actually, gently tugging the ribbon. ]

Can I?

[ sorry that he gets free range to touch and the first thing he wants to do is run his hand through her hair ]

[she shrugs because she's not going to assume anything? but also she does suppose it's fairly obvious he's interested...she's not rushing, relaxed on top of him and still letting her fingers drag and walk over him while his hand runs up her spine. it's a nice feeling, a grounding touch, and it's something to calm her down a little. by the time his hand reaches her hair though, she looks at him with nothing short of fondness.

leave it to this guy to go for the most innocent thing. but it's sweet in its own way, so she nods.]

Mmhm. Did say whatever you want. [well, not quite, but it was implied.]

[ what is he going to do, go for undressing her immediately. no. because her hair is magic when he tugs the ribbon this somehow undoes the whole braid, thank you jrpg logic, but he's very careful when he places it over somewhere so the ribbon isn't lost in. whatever they choose to do here. or, well, he chooses to do.

mmmm. it's alpha week she can have this: ]

I want you. [ maybe a little quieter, one hand still rubbing against her spine and the other one brushing through her hair now. because he can? but, also. he knows her, so. ] You gonna tell me what you like, or do I have to find out by myself?

[goodbye ribbon, hello long pretty hair. jrpg magic means that there are no tangles, it's just clean, soft waves and his fingers can run through it fairly easily, even as she somehow lays flatter against him and tilts her head into his fingers. that's nice, thank you.]

Think it might be easier to tell you what I wouldn't like. [because again, biases. she does not think there's much cloud could do that she wouldn't want from him, but she is also aware that probably doesn't help him, even if she's rolling her spine up into the touch of his other hand.] This is a nice start.

[ she leans her head into his fingers and she's rolling into the other pets and it's... cute. it's very cute, so he leans to kiss her again, soft and brief. she's pretty.

(there is a zack voice arguing about beautiful in the back of his head and that helps no one so shut the fuck up zack's ghost) ]

Alright. So what wouldn't you like?

[can you imagine the ghost of zack just critiquing cloud the whole time he's actually doing this. extremely funny. anyway, she does not know he's hearing quips from her ex-boyfriend and instead meets him for the kiss even with her eyes still half-closed.]

Don't be too rough right now. [she. probably should say in general but also she's not really thinking much about it.] You're a fast learner. You tell me.

[this is bullying because she wants cloud to be decisive even though she really could make his life easier and at least give him access to her boobs to start, but it's fine.]

[ she's on top of him what the hell is he supposed to touch. her boobs are hidden away. pressed against HIS boobs. :/

also cloud's inner zack voice is not that powerful but zack wouldn't critique he would give helpful encouragements, which would be worse ]

Wasn't planning to be. [ rough, he means, but maybe she can tell. i don't know what kind of dress she's wearing but is there like. a back zipper. is this a slip on. he is still petting her back so this is how he finds out i guess. gently scritches her scalp ]
