I guess so. I'm not opposed to soup in general. [this is not about soup, both of you. but they are thinking it and she's looking at her drink, but she hears his stray thought and tilts her head back a little to look up at him. there's a little ? above her head, but she does not verbally ask.

should you what, cloud.]

[residentmerc]

[ oh. well. now that she knows he had to consider if he should do it or not this is little embarrassing but.

wraps an arm around her waist. ]

[residentflorist]

[


IMMEDIATE AC JOY FLOWERS. and snuggling into his hold even if she's laughing a little.]

You know you don't have to ask or anything, don't you?

[residentmerc]

... I didn't.

[ ask, he means, and he shakes his head even as he keeps holding her ]

That wasn't it. Just... we're eating. [ he was truly questioning if this was like. a position he should try to do while eating im sorry hes a nerd who's never tried to cuddle while sharing a picnic ]

[residentflorist]

Oh. [hm. weird. she is not sure what to do about that, but she settles for leaning back against his chest and comfortably fitting in his arms. she has a free hand though, so it comes up to play with the sunglasses and bring them down over cloud's eyes just to see what it looks like.] Well...even the soup can be eaten with just one hand.

[she may have brought easy to eat food on purpose.]

[residentmerc]

[ he lets her plop the sunglasses on his face. finally the mako is gone. aerith is free of glow in the dark. he cocks his head a little and probably looks like a douchebag. ]

Yeah. I saw. [ that is ultimately why he went for it, not just because he was doxxed by his own mind. he is trying to be casually affectionate even if he is not exactly a ... natural at it. ] Almost like you had ulterior motives.

[ GASP ]

[residentflorist]

[he does look like a douchebag, but she's grinning anyway because it's still unfortunately attractive. bitch.

but also the casual affection really is doing it for her given she is not wearing sunglasses right now and he can probably see the literal sparkles in her eyes.]

Me? Would I really do something like that? [HM....] I wonder.

[residentmerc]

[ it is a good thing he is wearing sunglasses so his own eyes are hidden and she cannot see his emotions of

just kidding there's the red //// above his head as he looks at her sparkly eyes. just from holding her waist??? really??? ]

Yeah, you would. [ immediate. ruthless. he opens his drink to take a swig for himself ] You're kinda devious.

[residentflorist]

[cloud...it's fine. she's just proud of them for moving past "wouldn't sit next to me on our date." anyway he is ruthless and there's a little gasp as if she's actually shocked.]

Hey! I resent that, you know. [even if she looks a little smug about it.] Anyway it's not devious if it works.

[residentmerc]

[ the date where he is sure she still has feelings for zack? yea it's a mystery why he was that awkward on it. anyway her little gasp means there's little lines of mirth coming off him ]

Pretty sure it just means you're good at it.

[residentflorist]

[listen.......]

Got you to stick around, didn't I? [hehehe.] I wouldn't call it devious still. More like...persuasive?

[residentmerc]

If that's what you want to call it. But I think we both know the truth.

[ the evil, evil truth. that she is evil. ]

[residentflorist]

The truth that you like me soooo much you'd be here anyway?

[yeah, the evil, evil truth that she is evil, especially given how she's grinning up at him.]

[residentmerc]

[ there's a pause like cloud is debating his answer ]

Yeah, probably.

[ GASPS ]

[residentflorist]

[oh. okay well.

first it's .

then it's .



and then !!!]

Just probably, huh? [she makes like she's going to sit up and pull away from him entirely.] Guess the way to a man's heart isn't through his stomach after all.

[residentmerc]

[

his arm tightens around her so she cannot escape ]

That only works if you're the one doing the cooking. [ call out!! call out!! ]

[residentflorist]

You're the one who won't even try it even if my cooking's perfectly fine! [big meanie...she is pouting. she is also not doing much to escape his hold.]

[residentmerc]

I had your fruit salad.

[ that counts for SOMETHING, wow. drags her... closer... so she's like. halfway to his lap. ]

[residentflorist]

That was literally cutting fruit. [she is somehow no longer even working in favor of her point but who cares. she might be play-arguing for the sake of it, but she does immediately lose track of the sandwich she was thinking about eating because she's more invested in cloud.

it is not alpha week, but she is moving so she's basically in his lap entirely. none of this halfway shit. hewwo.]

But we have some options. I'll make you something later, maybe, if I can find good ingredients.

[residentmerc]

[ ////

lap'd... ]

I still ate it, didn't I? [ counterpoint while he is ///, but: ] You know I'm not that picky.

[ that is still teasing her ]

[residentflorist]

[get lap'd idiod. somehow it's easier to do this in a dress with a giant slit up the side, but she's not trying to climb him like a tree this time. rather, she's just here because she wants to be close and she wants to prove a point. a point that is making her pout up at him and stare at his sunglasses.]

I know you're not, but I still wanna make something you'll like. [the principle!! it's the principle of the matter and the experience of cooking for your boyfriend (?) and being extremely pleased when he likes it.]

[residentmerc]

[ ok well now he has an arm around her waist to hold her up on his lap, he guesses. the pout is funny, but her wanting to make something he likes is... cute. it's cute. there's little flowers above his head in turn now. the sunglasses are obscuring his bitch stoic face expression even more than usual ]

Okay. And I'm saying it's not that hard. [ so sure. she can try. ]

[residentflorist]

I'll figure out something good later then. [and it'll be GREAT and he CAN'T COMPLAIN. (cloud probably would not complain anyway.) again it is really just the principle of the matter and when he says that she seems to settle in and smile again, comfortably leaning into him.]

Until then, pre-made sandwiches and hot soup it is! Oh, but there's some good iced tea. Also from the vending machine.

[residentmerc]

You really went all out... at the vending machine. [ she's settled and leaning and he tightens his hold on her a little. ] I could've helped.

[ with picking up stuff. he can't cook. he hasn't had a minigame for that yet. ]

[residentflorist]

Could've, but that would've ruined the surprise. [there was no surprise, he already knew she was planning this picnic. there are happy little music notes over her head though when he tightens the hold.] You can help next time. It's not like this is gonna be the only date we have anyway, right?
