[WELL HECK IF HE'S GONNA LET THAT GO UNANSWERED, what kind of fool do you take him for]

Hey there! You caught me just in time, I was about to go out.

[to see her, probably?? it's weird to have all this free time and it takes genuine willpower not to just hover around her constantly.]

[asphodels]

Does that mean you have a few minutes for me?

[ Bright eyed and definitely not carrying something behind her back, nope. ]

It won't take long!

[wingenvy]

You can have me all day, if you want!

[not like he has some strict schedule to adhere to. This isn't like it was back in Shinra.

He steps aside and gestures with his arm, welcoming her into his room.]

[asphodels]

That's greedy!

[ Not that she's complaining, and she moves forward, settling herself down on his bed. Only then does she hold out her prize. ]

For you!

[wingenvy]

Whoa, hey!

[He reaches out to accept the gift, staring down at it in surprise for a moment instead of opening it. Wow, it's been forever since he got a gift...]

What's this for?

[asphodels]

Just because.

[ Because she was thinking about you and loves you, clearly. Inside, bundled up together, are three things - a shirt, a matching band and a toy. ]

Cloud and I picked them together.

[wingenvy]

[The staring continues, because... WELL. Those sure are some presents. Zack picks them out of the bag one by one, looking them over. Finally, he pulls the shirt up against his body, tilting his head to one side as he poses for Aerith.]

Is this your way of saying that pink is more my colour than yours?

[asphodels]

Cloud picked the headband! I just picked the shirt. And the wolf.

[ Leaning close, she tilts herself so she can smile. ]

They made me think of you!

[wingenvy]

Cloud did...?

[Huh, that's unexpected. Didn't peg him for the sort, but that's kind of awesome. It doesn't take long for a grin to cross his cheeks.]

Well, they're definitely gonna make me think of you! Both of you. Thanks, this is awesome!

[He drapes the shirt over his arm so he can reach out and wrap it around her waist, tugging her in for a kiss. It's a silly gift, sure, but it made him smile, and anything from her is A+.]

[asphodels]

He did.

[ Because they were thinking about you, even then.

It's hard not to. ]

I wanted to get you a souvenir, even though it wasn't our date. I just wanted something you might use, too...

[wingenvy]

[well, isn't he just the most special guy in the universe.]

I bet it's perfect for exercising! Should I try it on?

[asphodels]

[ He's extra loved! ]

Yes! We need to make sure it fits!

[wingenvy]

You got it!

[He steps back and reaches down for the edge of his shirt, then stops, reaching out to grab her shoulders instead and turn her around.]

But first- no peeking!

[asphodels]

[ Aerith is desperately trying to play the innocent now. ]

I wouldn't!

[ Even is she is pouting, just a little. ]

[wingenvy]

Hmmmmmm.

[listen aerith he'd love to show off but his chest is swiss cheese now and he doesn't wanna kill the mood

once she's facing away, though, he removes his shirt and dumps it on the bed, replacing it with the tank top. It's a nice fit, even if it is blindingly silly. One quick wrap of the headband around his hair, and-]

Okay, done!

[is he posing? he's definitely posing.]

[asphodels]

[ Babe it's fine hers became a kebab.

Still, she looks away and forces herself to stay that way, for him, at least until he lets her turn back around. When she does, her eyes widen and her face brightens into the biggest smile she can muster, standing up to touch his arms gently. ]

It fits! [ And, wow, babe, arms. Those sure are some nice arms. She's seen them before, but. Arms. ] It suits you.

[wingenvy]

[well if she's admiring the arms then he has to flex. Even if his regular outfit is already sleeveless, tank tops add skin, and it's a nice view!!]

I think I'd be happy to live the hug life.

[BRING 'ER HERE]

[asphodels]

[ Oh! She's not blushing, she's just. Warm. ]

I'm glad to hear it! You've always been good at hugs.

[ And her arms slip around him and she squeezes gently. ]

[wingenvy]

[smol girlfriend hugs are the best! he practically envelops her in his arms, gently spinning her about.]

Loud and proud about it! So what's with the dog? Did Cloud spill the beans about the puppy thing?

[asphodels]

[ She definitely doesn't squeak, but it's something close, and she clings to him with a laugh. ]

Maybe. But I thought it was more like a wolf.

[wingenvy]

It is kind of cutely ferocious in that way.

[it isn't. at all. but he can pretend, so indulge him, maybe.]

We'll need to find a good place for him... this room is still pretty lacking when it comes to decoration.

[asphodels]

Do you think so? I like it.

[ She can pretend too! She's good at that. ]

I was going to bring you some flowers, too, but I didn't like any of them enough. I could bring some photos, though?

[wingenvy]

Oh man, don't give me flowers. I'd probably end up accidentally letting them die. Flowers are definitely safer with you.

[though he didn't know that flowers Aerith didn't like even existed]

I can probably get some pictures printed, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe you can help me pick out the best ones.

[asphodels]

I could take care of them for you! Then I have an excuse to come over and see you more.

[ Like she needs a reason, right? ]

Can we pick some together?

[wingenvy]

Of course! Half the photos are from you, anyway. Who'd know them better than you?

Though, you know what we should get? A picture with all three of us.
