Good. This is what you deserve for carelessly starting a fight.
[ YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT, WEISS????? Though to her, this is a job well done. The pillow she used gets dropped to the bed unceremoniously, but rather than joining the loser? She looks around to see if there's anything out of place in the room. They're going to have to fix that later. ]
[ Oh, Weiss isn't done yet. Cloud isn't even saying anything, so that gives her the floor (ha ha...) to continue, right? ]
Not that it was going to be much of a fight in the first place. I was going to hit you with a lamp if you started to— [ Knock knock! The staff member at their door announces room service, which immediately gets the former heiress' attention. ]
The yoghurt's here! [ WHY IS THIS SO FAMILIAR. She doesn't mean to, but she accidentally steps on Cloud's arm if he's still plopped on the bed before hopping off and running to the door to get their dessert.
[ Oh damnit. It's like she has a sixth sense that can detect whether Cloud was actually in danger or hurt or not. Because the second she hops off the bed and he can feel her weight leaving the mattress? He springs right back up. Sure, Weiss put a lot of her siphoned magical strength into that hit but. It's still a pillow. ]
Oh, come on!
[ Cloud's just salty he couldn't enact his trap and pull her down onto the bed with him. He does follow her however, minding to keep out of sight when she answers and gets their froyo dessert since he's still the one without a shirt on. But...there is a strange sense of Déjà vu to all this. Best not think on it too long. The pillow fight is over and Weiss is the victor! Victory for the Birthday Girl! When Weiss turns around, she'll find her boyfriend leaning against the wall waiting for her, head resting against it with a smile.
[ The conversation with the staff doesn't take too long. Weiss takes the tray with the cups of yoghurt and says thank you, and he leaves. Unfortunately, she didn't think about giving a tip. Too much yoghurt on the brain.
It's not strange for him to be up right away or anything, but the whole smiling thing is kind of odd especially when it's unprompted. This is Cloud, after all. ]
[ Somehow, Cloud saying something like that does something to her. The adrenaline from the pillow fight's worn off, but her heart beats faster than normal again. And she can't help but smile in return. ]
Yeah, it has.
[ She can't look him in the eye to agree, though. She just can't! It's such a bad time to feel self-conscious now, but she does, and she looks away and bites her lip to hide the smile she's wearing. For everything they've said and done today, and emotions they've poured out, she doesn't want to take credit this time for Cloud's happiness. It was Cloud who made everything about today special. ]
[ He doesn't want to call attention to it- how she tends to nip on her lip to hide a face she'll make. How cute it was when she got embarrassed like this. To think that a long time ago, he would have been the one to try and blow off any softness. But she's right... ]
Sure thing.
[ Once he's fully changed, towel wrapped around his waist for decency and when Weiss is ready too, they'll go together. He can't help but notice the softly lit candles that illuminate around the little hot spring, the water's surface a softer red hue and almost giving off an ethereal glow. Cup of froyo in one hand and the Huntress in his other, he slowly dips into the spring with her, not stopping until he's over halfway submerged and sitting along one of the sides. ]
[ Weiss is content as can be, careful in getting into the water so as not to splash any onto their yoghurt. It takes her a while to fully relax, though. She's a little preoccupied looking at Cloud, wondering how she can return the favour for everything he's done for her today. Making his own birthday special? That's a given. But she has to do more, so she can thank him for what he's done for her. Smiling into her yoghurt when she finally takes a bit of it, she figures she has so many chances to surprise him with nice things. She can only hope that what she does will be to his liking when it happens. ]
It's warm in the water, but the yoghurt is cold. It's a good combination.
Maybe you oughta treat yourself during baths more often.
[ Because the familiar taste of blueberry blended frozen yoghurt while sitting in this spring? Actually a surprise hit. Cloud doesn't tend to have this often, and even if he did, it's not like he really has to worry about fitness. Not with the amount of work he does and constant training he does. ]
...that or we figure out how to get a hot tub. Never had one of those...
[ Did the Schnees have one back at their mansion? He wonders. Never did find it in her dream. ]
[ Oh, she can't help but laugh at that. Cloud in a jacuzzi? Maybe not on his own... ]
I can't imagine you in one... [ She can't even make him take a bubble bath with her! ] You'd probably like it, though. It's like that time we went to the spa.
[ Was he on his own? No, she can't ever think he'd take a dip by himself. But... now she wants to ask, even though she's not supposed to... ]
Was- Was it in Lunatia?
[ It's not like he's friendly enough with just about anyone that he'd chill in a jacuzzi with friends and all. So... it had to be in Prismatica, right? ]
You— You don't have to get into the details. [ She shakes her head fervently, setting down her cup of yoghurt at the edge of the spring. After that, she lowers herself further into the water. ]
[ Why was she thinking of him being in one there? ... Oh- ]
Actually, no. [ Not even when he was roommates with Panty of all people did they ever hit up a hot tub or something. ...a little blessing that they had an apartment where a hot tub wasn't feasible. Last thing he wanted was to come home to Panty hosting some rowdy party with a buncha horny slobs in a hot tub or something. So much for not saying anything else about it. But seeing her sinking into the water some more, he almost feels like he's obligated to clear the air. ] It was back in Midgar. Around the time I was figuring out how to save Tifa.
[ You know. Around the time he put on a dress to trick a mob boss? ... He's gonna take a dig into his cup and have a bite. ]
[ It's not that she doesn't believe him. She does! And in fact, she feels very relieved that he didn't do anything like what she was thinking in Lunatia. She'd just get jealous... but it only opens up more questions, ones that she figures may not be good to ask anymore. It's Cloud's business, not her own. ]
We can check online if there are any spas near the city. I could use a manicure.
[ And that's her way of dismissing the topic. She slowly rises up from the spring until she's seated properly and the water is at her chest level. She can eat her yoghurt again now. And happily, to boot. ]
[ He almost audibly sighs with relief as his shoulders lax. He sets his cup down along the edge of the spring, pooling water into his hands before letting it run down and through his hair. That felt good to do too. What he didn't mean to do was start slowly running a hand through those locks before looking back to Weiss with those softened blue eyes of his. He's just relaxed. Oh-so-very relaxed. dksajhf ]
Sounds like a plan.
[ Only thing he's never had is a pedicure. Cloud keeps himself clean, but after all the travelling and fighting he's done, they've seen better days. ]
[ It... feels so weird to say, but everything about today was so weird to begin with. Weird, because she's never had this much fun on her birthday before. Everyday with Cloud has always been great, and they always make memories she would hate to forget. She shakes her head slowly before looking at him. ]
[ He reaches for his cup, this time more intent on enjoying it and eating the rest of it. ]
I'll spread things out.
[ Which is to say that Cloud will still treat her like a princess tonight until they're ready to fall asleep. ...he's gonna make her cry again, isn't he. ]
[ He says that, but she knows he won't. What do you call a person like that? ]
Dummy.
[ She inches closer to him, cup of yoghurt in hand. He has his own, but she can still feed him, right? If he's almost done with his own cup, this is a bonus! ]
[ Blink. Blink. He stares down at her cup before looking back up. When she looks at him like that...she makes a very compelling case for him not to say no. Maybe it's the soft glow of candles surrounding their spring and being so intimately close...but it's his turn to have his heart racing. On the surface though, he's as relaxed as ever despite that blushing face. Wordlessly, he closes his eyes and takes a spoonful from her.
Just as sweet... When he opens his eyes, he still has a hold of his own cup. There's not much left, but... ]
Here.
[ With hints of a shy smile, Cloud offers up a spoonful of his own yoghurt. Yup. Definitely late night romance hours. ]
