[ Not to wait for her birthday or anything! She's not excited about getting old, but more excited about being able to spend the day with Cloud, really! So being up until midnight isn't that big of a deal. But she has been sleeping a lot later than usual lately ever since she somehow gained new memories of Remnant. Weiss fortunately hasn't been experiencing nightmares due to what's happened, but she has been a little fearful of falling asleep and not waking up again. Both because of what could happen in Remnant while she hasn't found a solution yet, and because she knows how Cloud would react and feel if that happened again.
Of course, she doesn't tell him that. ]
I'll read or listen to some music. I'll be quiet, don't worry.
[ If Cloud does rest, anyway, he won't be disturbed! She'll wear earphones. ]
[ Holy- Color him surprised. He wouldn't have expected that idea coming from Weiss. He never judged, but she's rather dignified in just about everything she does! For a girl who sometimes eats so daintily with her pinky out, she always finds a way to flip the script on him. Then again...she does have something of a rebel streak to her too.
Reaching up, gently grabs her by the wrist, stopping her from playing with his hair further. Not because he wanted it to stop, but so he could do something for her. ]
I'm game.
[ Shifting so he was a little more closer to her, he holds her hand, bringing it to his lips as he plants a kiss to the back of it. So soft... Must be the combination of feeling tuckered and tingling from the hair brushing. ]
All I know is you're not supposed to go swimming right after you eat. There aren't any rules about eating while swimming.
[ Is he still surprised? It's true, though. There are quite a lot of things Weiss has not done due to her being by the book. However, it's never stopped her from being curious about other things! She doesn't enjoy being told what to do, and if it's something that conflicts with her beliefs, then you better believe she'll defy instruction. In this case, though? It's something she wants to try! It can't be all that bad... or messy!!
She's already in a good mood now, but a soft and shaky laugh escapes her when he kisses the back of her hand. She would slide down so she's laying in bed right next to him, but they would never get up if they did. This is fine. ]
There you go again... I'll never stop smiling at this rate.
[ Unbelievable... She's just unbelievable sometimes. After that laugh however, he's as calm as ever, still laying down beside her, those softened blue eyes of his staring up intently at her. He knows it's a bad idea for her to lay down next to him. But...that wasn't going to stop him from taunting her showing her the love she deserves.
If she says that he's doing a good job while he promised "do things right", he's not going to slow down any time soon. ]
Maybe that's the plan. [ Perhaps it's because he's somewhat tired, but his lips are looser too when he adds, ] Whenever I need reminding of what I'm fighting for, I think of that.
[ Her smiling. And after a little pause and a knowing, teasing smirk, he gives her hand a squeeze. ]
[ sjdhsjffl she's gonna strangle him! The tsundere in her is far too dere to yell at him, but it doesn't mean she can't fight back! Taking one of the pillows and hitting him square in the face, letting it just stay on top of him as she... ]
There! Now you'll never see me smile again.
[ Also gets on the pillow, half of her body resting on it so he'll have a difficult time getting that pillow off his face. SUFFER!!!!!! 😡😡😡 ]
[ Just. Flat-out, "No." He will not stop. He also won't stop smiling in this moment either. Though maybe he's just a tad too relaxed because she manages to blindside him with the pillow. His eyes widen and he lets go of her hand as his hands wave in the air. ]
Mmfhey—
[ She can't see him, but he's smiling again under that pillow. When he feels her putting her weight on him, he makes some puffing noises as if that'd give him room to breath. Squirming, he attempts to lift the pillow (and Weiss) up and off his face so he can breath. WEISS YOU CAN SUFFOCATE SOMEONE DOING THAT. Suffer, Cloud. ]
[ It's not like Weiss is heavy to begin with. Cloud won't find it a challenge to get the pillow (and Weiss) off. But that just makes Weiss flop on the bed next to him. She shimmies down so they're both on the same level. Is it time to cut it out and stop her attempts in killing him?
Nope. She's gonna tickle him while he's got his hands occupied. ]
What did you just say?
[ PFFT. She's laughing as she says it, really going hard with her fingers at his sides. ]
[ That pillow? Yeeted off the edge of the bed, just in time for Weiss' fingers to start wiggling into his sides. ]
No shit— no...!
[ It's more the action itself and his guard being down that gets him, as his legs kick and he tucks his arms against his sides in another feeble attempt to get Weiss' assault to stop. ]
[ "Tell me no one more time!" ]
No.
[ Rolling onto his side so he's facing her properly, Cloud fights the urge to laugh as his hand shoots up to her exposed neck, his approach lighter than the way she's jamming her fingers against him. Why? Because feathers tickle way more than scratchy fingers.
But Cloud's efforts seem to work, because Weiss does relent and pull back, a little breathless from putting all that energy into tickling her boyfriend. (She could use a little more stamina training today.) ]
[ This time it's Cloud's turn to roll over towards her. Bracing himself on his forearm, he leans over her body as gradually, his assault slacks as she surrenders. A soft chuckle escapes him as he collects his breath. The hand that was under her chin shifts then as he stares down at his girlfriend. Is that a smug little smirk on his face?
Most certainly, backed by him running a hand through her bangs as he sweeps them to the side to get a better look at her. ]
I win.
[ Whether she planned on saying anything or not, Cloud wasn't going to let this opportunity pass him by. He won! So he's due for a prize, lowering himself down until their lips meet with a kiss, soft and lingering. ]
[ Weiss wasn't kidding when she told him that anything he does is her "in case of emergency". Now, feeling the tips of his fingers against her forehead as he brushes her bangs to the side, everything feels so electric. She relaxes, even letting out a shaky sigh as she just looks up at him with contentment.
And then he says he wins and even kisses her. Who's the real winner here? Weiss Schnee, that's who. He kissed her! And she's kissing him back— nothing that shows how excited she is for this, but her lips curl as she smiles before doing so, even lifting a hand to touch his cheek when she does. ]
[ He melts. He melts and has no chance of reforming when she touches his cheek and smiles so lovingly at him. While Cloud doesn't get very emotional on the surface, that trembling sigh? Completely betrays the cool front he tends to give off as he leans back down to kiss her again. Quicker this time as he breathes deep of her. Resting his forehead against hers, he gently puts more weight against her before speaking with a loving, hushed tone. ]
[ It's back to her fingers in his hair. She really loves doing this. She wants to provide him comfort and companionship. Even little things like this make her feel good about herself because she knows Cloud likes it when she does it. ]
On a vacation? I think we deserve the time off.
[ She knows she does! Even just for a few days, she wants to think of nothing else but Cloud and herself. It's important to rest and recuperate so that they can be stronger when problems and challenges arise again. ]
[ His face twists into a mock frown, brow furrowed before he finally chuckles. Just when Weiss slides on down so she can be facing him, he doesn't wrap an arm underneath her yet. Instead, he's got them tucked against his chest, shimmying a little closer to her, listening intently. ]
You will.
[ Does he even need to say it? That if he has to, he's going to defy reality if it means he can jump to her world and save her. To help save Remnant as a whole. Not because he doesn't have faith in Weiss and her team. But for all the selfish reasons in the world. Cloud wants to see her. He can't imagine another day without or; if they're apart, he has to know she's at least still there. She can overcome the "end" that awaits them. Whether that involves him or not, he trusts her. He believes in her. ]
Whether I get to you first or not, I'm never giving up on this.
[ With Cloud so close, she can't help but roll closer until she's clinging to him and most of her weight is on him. She doesn't want to think about what might happen in Remnant now, but she can't help but be happy that he would support her no matter what. This is why he's her hero. ]
Please don't.
[ Weiss doesn't like to ask too much of Cloud. She wants to be the one to exert effort for him because he's done so much for her. This, though, is something she can't help but plead for. She needs him, and desperate to cling to him and be around him, she hopes that he would grant her this wish. Let her be selfish just once. ]
[ With Weiss rolling closer, that's his cue to wrap his arms around her properly. In truth, it's only been five minutes since they placed the order for room service. As far as he's concerned? They can take their time if it meant he could revel in moments like this a little longer. Even if the two were to find themselves nodding off, Cloud was the lighter sleeper of the two. He could hear the knock with ease if they happened to power nap. ]
You won't... [ His hand slides up to the back of her head as she clings to him, shifting until she's comfortably resting against his chest. If it weren't for her hair done up in the braid, his fingers would be threading through her wavy locks by now. Sucking in a breath, the sigh he lets out is even. He wouldn't tremble this time. Between seeing her in that vision of another reality down in Lightless, the helplessness of watching her be felled by Cinder in Mistral, and the dark path her world is going down as her loved ones fall... ]
Love you too damn much to let you go.
[ This is more than just his vow to protect everything that he cherishes, never letting his friends down ever again. The connection he shares his family... Tifa, Marlene, Denzel; they're just as important to him as they were before. Weiss breached that feeling into something deeper and more precious. Something that, if he really did fail, there'd be no putting him back together again. Not the same as he was before. Because Weiss would always have a piece of his heart with her.
Always. As long as he remembers her, or this red-jeweled brooch bestowed upon him stays in his grasp, Cloud will always have a beacon guiding him back. ]
[ Love. Weiss has felt it before, certainly. Winter cared for Weiss so much, and even though she was strict with her upbringing of her sister, it was never harsh. Winter always wanted the best for Weiss, and having her around was one of the most comforting feelings in the world. Of course, Weiss loves her mother, too. They've grown apart, but she's still her mother. As unfortunate as it was that Willow succumbed to alcoholism due to what's happened between her and Jacques, Weiss never stopped caring about her.
Family is weird. And complicated. Weiss can never describe it prettily, and she doesn't think she ever could.
The love she feels for Cloud is different. And as she pulls away slightly to be able to look at him, she realises this herself. He's always made her feel special in a way that her family didn't do. He would do things for her without asking for anything in return. And it's sometimes why she feels obligated to do something back. It's an involuntary response from someone who's always had to do things for others in order to get something she wants. It's so strange, and so new, but at the same time? It makes her feel so happy and so light. And all the more she wants to make him happy. Not because she'll be punished otherwise, but because she's happy when he is. ]
Your eyes are a little different now, but I still like them.
[ Hah. She doesn't mean anything bad by it! Just an honest observation. ]
Your nose is still cute, though. And I think my hand fits really well in yours. Holding your hand is the best.
[ She smiles up at him before moving closer again to cling to him. Breathing in deep and taking in his scent, basking in the warmth he brings, she can't help but confess: ]
It's the best. So much better than getting perfect scores in tests, or performing well in front of a lot of people.
I'm lucky to have met you, Cloud. And even more fortunate that returned my feelings.
[ Love... It's safe to say that Cloud came close to falling in the past. But even then, he wasn't sure of himself or who he even was at the time. He grew up wanting to be a hero that people like Tifa would acknowledge. Aerith saw the cracks in his faux Ex-SOLDIER front and tried to see him for who he really was before fate dealt them all a horrid hand.
But with Weiss... She's the first one he got to meet for the first time as himself. The Ex-SOLDIER never would have been as gentle in his approach in helping her after they fought in the tournament, or thought of passing off his extra flowers to her at the green market, or the fact he stayed at the masquerade solely because of her voice...only to play a "game" after. Intimacy was the name of the game on Prismatica, but the level of trust that formed between him and Weiss before they even started dating was telling.
The best decision he ever made in life when it came to taking a chance on love was cutting her off mid-ramble to say "yes". ]
S'been a while since I've seen them before the Mako...
[ But he's not disheartened by it either. On one hand, Cloud saw it as a reminder of what he'd become at the hands of Shinra. On the other hand, they symbolized the heroic legacy that Zack upheld in SOLDIER. Whether he ever retrieves that power again or not, he'll never stop fighting for the people who matter in his life. For every little compliment she gives him, those less-vibrant blues of his soften with adoration. His smile grows as she clings to him, confessing how lucky she was to have met him.
Hugging her comfortably in his strong arms, he tilts his head to kiss the top of her head before sighing again. The silence that carries is serene, ambience all that he can hear past her gentle breathing. When it's finally time for him to break his silence... ]
Every time I look into your eyes...it's like looking into the purest blue ice. Or your hair... Untouched snow.
[ She's beautiful. And frankly, he could go on and on, but he'd end up getting a pillow mashed into his face. But he can't help but want to laugh every time she does it though. Another gently breath out, he closes his eyes, not to sleep, but to feel himself melting into her when he rhetorically asks, ]
[ As if Weiss couldn't get any closer to him, she puts more of her weight on him as she gives him an even tighter hug. They're all alone in this room, and her world right now is all him, but it's as if she's holding him so close in fear that he might get taken away. ]
Can I stay like this a bit longer?
[ She's practically on top of him now, clinging to him like a koala. ]
I love you so much.
[ If she's warm, he's so comfortable. It would be so easy to fall asleep like this. In fact, when she exhales, she nuzzles her cheek against him and lets out a soft hum. Cloud, if you don't do anything, she'll pass out like this. ]
[ Cloud's arms move, one around the center of her back and the other lingering on the small of her back as she lays against him. ]
You too.
[ Too bad, Weiss. Because the second that he hears and feels her exhale and nuzzle against him, he's keeping those eyes of his closed. It's like he thought earlier. If they wind up passing out, he'll hear the door when room service comes! But it's only half-on his mind right now, with how comfortable he is. If they didn't plan on taking a dip in the spring or having a snack for the night, he might have just slowly pulled the covers over them and let them lay here like this......... ]
— — —
[ Knock. Knock. Knock. ]
...?
[ The two were only passed out for maybe ten minutes before room service arrived. With Weiss still cozily resting on top of him, true to his hunch, he wakes up first. SOLDIER or not, that's something that's always stuck with him. Realizing she's still breathing so softly, he thinly smiles before very slowly shifting. Mindful not to just let the huntress flop onto the bed, he slides out of bed before carefully standing up at the bedside. There, he has to take a moment to just...watch her. So peaceful in her sleep, like an angel that he can't look away from until, ]
Ah-
[ Knock. Knock. "Room service!" ]
[ Sneaking his way to the front door, he thanks the staff member whose brought along their food and drink. Silver plating wide enough to hold everything on it, Cloud speaks with a hush that he'll take it from here. ... What? They don't need to know that Weiss is fast asleep! Placing the plate down on the table opposite the bed as the deliverer leaves, he casts his gaze back over his shoulder to the sleeping Weiss. ]
... ....
[ "There aren't any rules about eating while swimming."
An idea springs to mind as he starts sneaking around their room, occasionally looking back to Weiss on the bed whenever he'd slip out to into the back. He hasn't changed entirely, stripping down to just his vest and pants with none of the excess gear, by the time he finally sits down on the side of the bed. He can't help the dusted blush on his cheeks, or the smile on his face when he reaches out to stroke her hair. ]
[ It may be perhaps because she's too comfortable just laying on him that she falls asleep quickly. Normally, she would wake up soon after she can't feel Cloud close by anymore; she's gotten so used to his warmth that not having him near her while she's asleep feels very weird and uncomfortable. It's only when she hears Cloud's voice that she begins to stir. ]
Cloud? I think I fell asleep...
[ She only rolls to face upwards, eyes still closed. Just let her slowly wake up and she'll open them, blinking sleepily before she pushes herself up to sit. ]

[ Cloud's arms move, one around the center of her back and the other lingering on the small of her back as she lays against him. ]
You too.
[ Too bad, Weiss. Because the second that he hears and feels her exhale and nuzzle against him, he's keeping those eyes of his closed. It's like he thought earlier. If they wind up passing out, he'll hear the door when room service comes! But it's only half-on his mind right now, with how comfortable he is. If they didn't plan on taking a dip in the spring or having a snack for the night, he might have just slowly pulled the covers over them and let them lay here like this......... ]
[ Knock. Knock. Knock. ]
...?
[ The two were only passed out for maybe ten minutes before room service arrived. With Weiss still cozily resting on top of him, true to his hunch, he wakes up first. SOLDIER or not, that's something that's always stuck with him. Realizing she's still breathing so softly, he thinly smiles before very slowly shifting. Mindful not to just let the huntress flop onto the bed, he slides out of bed before carefully standing up at the bedside. There, he has to take a moment to just...watch her. So peaceful in her sleep, like an angel that he can't look away from until, ]
Ah-
[ Knock. Knock. "Room service!" ]
[ Sneaking his way to the front door, he thanks the staff member whose brought along their food and drink. Silver plating wide enough to hold everything on it, Cloud speaks with a hush that he'll take it from here. ... What? They don't need to know that Weiss is fast asleep! Placing the plate down on the table opposite the bed as the deliverer leaves, he casts his gaze back over his shoulder to the sleeping Weiss. ]
... ....
[ "There aren't any rules about eating while swimming."
An idea springs to mind as he starts sneaking around their room, occasionally looking back to Weiss on the bed whenever he'd slip out to into the back. He hasn't changed entirely, stripping down to just his vest and pants with none of the excess gear, by the time he finally sits down on the side of the bed. He can't help the dusted blush on his cheeks, or the smile on his face when he reaches out to stroke her hair. ]
Weiss?
[
Please actually wake up this time adskfjh]no subject
Cloud? I think I fell asleep...
[ She only rolls to face upwards, eyes still closed. Just let her slowly wake up and she'll open them, blinking sleepily before she pushes herself up to sit. ]
