A Divine Story

Cloud finds himself easing a bit more in her proximity , and his eyes close only for a moment as she brushed delicately against him. Their whole journey was filled with so much misery and pain . . . maybe he could allow himself to relax for just this moment . . .

Aerith felt her cheeks burn, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip as the words bubbled up in her throat. "Like...the beach or on a date or....—" A tiny shrug of her shoulders, "Other places when we're alone" Her heart was thrumming steadily in her chest, wondering how Cloud would respond. She was always a little more bold, but right now it felt like figuring out how to find their new footing together.

Her mouth curved into a smile, a little breathless chuckle as she exhaled. Aerith pitched forward into his chest, steadied by his hands around her waist. "Oh" She mumbled, her head tilting the opposite way of his. "...I don't think so" She mumbled, "Don't you want to kiss me whenever?" She teased softly, leaning back to catch his gaze.

He feels her fingertips curl against him , and he can't help but look down at them. They're so close. Why did it make him feel so nervous ? He curses himself for not knowing what to do next. But thankfully Aerith acts first , and for a second he freezes -- then eases himself into it. He dares to let a hand brush gently against her hip , a deep blush forming against his pale features.

"Mm, is that so?" She chimed back, her cheeks warm as his hand brushed at her hip. Her gaze flickered briefly to his lips before returning to his eyes, mischief sparkling. "Then I guess we'll have to find somewhere besides a Ferris wheel" Although it had been perfect evening, she'd never experienced something like this...And to have Cloud next to her through it, Aerith thought her heart might burst from how full it felt.

Shirt Cut Aerith!

In fact, year long hibernations (repeatedly!) on top of his hours long power naps should be a future discussion.

"Lessee. You in a bubbly mood, there's a certain rush to make, for all we know maybe Cid is moments away of blowing our hair back with all his screaming one day. So, what's a quick flight getaway from one of the windows?" Sora adds in, an impish wink following suit.

There's a thoughtful pause as he felt the ticklish nestle of auburn hair settling against his chest, allowing her clearance to feel the abundant Heart that drums with it's own content beat. It ushers something protective within him, a desire to let her see many more of the glories of the Worlds after all she's done to brighten the damage done. His fingers drew into a more braced hold upon her scarlet coat, the adjacent arm ensuring her legs would never fall into a case of flailing.

Why not make good use of this warmth she shares? Seeing the sunlight bounce upon her being only added to that radiance.

"I know you're strong, Aerith. Never forgot that. Just don't forget I'd like to look out a little bit for you too.

Allowing his strength to serve as a guidance to his imagined eye, it led Sora to swimming descent within the skies, flowing through his namesake flawlessly as his jubilant mood only sharpened his movements. They'd soon fly directly above one of the nearby meadows, a crystal lake silently protected by a groove of trees. Another view they'd crest a circle around is one of the mountains caked with stardust, revealing mysterious caves and a touch of mountain goats seamlessly bouncing from perch to perch.

Another stunning view would be the arrival of Radiant Garden, it hosts waters so unnaturally clear that it reflects the very skies itself, offering an ethereal glow as the once battered town doubled down on regaining it's more pristine nature. Many of it's buildings are now higher, durable, feebly attempting to rival the castle that made a proud, piercing tower aim towards hints of a hidden moon above.

"Oh, so that's your plan?" Aerith laughed softly, tipping her head back just enough to look up at him. The sparkle in her eyes betrayed how much she was enjoying this. Nestled comfortably against him, she could feel the steady rhythm of his heart beneath her cheek. Her fingers curled lightly against his shirt.

"Mm. I don't know. Cid yelling sounds pretty scary. Maybe a quick escape is the smart option." She let out a thoughtful hum as the world stretched beneath them. Aerith drank it all in, her smile softening. "It's beautiful...really, it is."

Her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer before turning back toward Radiant Garden, the city gleaming below them like a jewel reborn. "You know," she began thoughtfully, "I think sometimes people forget that looking after someone isn't the same thing as thinking they're weak.I like taking care of people too. It's kind of what I do." Her smile turned playful again. "But... I don't mind letting someone return the favor every once in a while."

She pointed dramatically toward the clouds ahead.

Holy ⚪️✨

"Well, now I'm going to deny it," she quipped, her lips puckering in feigned defiance against his teasing. The act quickly unraveled, though, a smile tugging at her mouth as he shared a bit of honesty himself. Aerith looked back at him, mischief flickering in her eyes. She could have stolen a kiss then and there but where was the fun in that?

Especially when it felt so...important that it wasn't stolen, but rather an act given between them? "Hmm. I guess we'll just have to figure out the perfect moment for it then" Aerith could feel the flutter in her chest from those words, the anticipation settling in her bones.

Life was so different for both of them now, the future. . .it held a promise in it she wasn't entirely sure how to dream of. Her gaze had unfocused slightly, snapping back to his bright sky colored gaze the moment his fingers touched her face.

"x?" "yeah?" "kiss me." "what?" "please. kiss me."

"please. let me kiss you." "why?" "i need to prove how much i love you."

"what would you do if i kissed you?"

"i really want to kiss you." "that's not funny." "who said i was joking?"

"i'm gonna be eighty before you finally kiss me, won't i?"

"you're blushing." "how could i not after you kiss me like that?"

"you know, i still remember the first time i ever kissed you. even though we were both drunk/high out of our minds... i still remember the first time i kissed you."

"i could kiss you for the rest of my life."

"come on, x, it's very clear that you like them." "what, i can't kiss my friends on the cheek?"

"i'm not very good at this." "well, i guess it's a good thing we have forever to practice."

"why did you do that?" "i've been wanting to for so long. i couldn't help myself."

"can we go somewhere more private?"

"i can't stop thinking about it. you tasted so sweet."

"jesus, i never would've taken you as a rough kisser."

"it doesn't mean anything." "maybe not to you."

"nobody's ever kissed me like you just did."

"i just can't take watching someone else kiss you when it should be me."

"i told you you could kiss me, but watch your hands, x." "they have a mind of their own. i can't help it."

"i can't stop thinking about how your lip gloss tasted."

"you look so pretty with your lip gloss/stick smeared on your face."

"i want to be your last first kiss."

"could i kiss it better?"

"can we talk? about the kiss?" "why, so i can feel embarrassed again?"

"you just look so cute, how could i not want to kiss you?"

"if you really don't feel anything, then surely a kiss would prove that, right?"

"please, just... one kiss."

"you know, you could've just asked me to kiss you. you didn't have to pine over me for so long."
