[Accidental Voice]

[Static. A door opens, very quiet footfalls on the floor. Then a soft noise, one of curiosity, before there's a gasp, a rapid metallic/clicking sound, and the squeak of hinges. Silence again, then-]



...holy shit.



[[ooc: Cloud got his box of shinies. And he can't use any of it.]]

[Pressing a hand to his face now.]

Cloud... [Have a light tug on that wrist, because it's easier to talk to him if he isn't facepalming at her.] We love you. Both of us.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Embarrassed, kind of wondering if he should pull away from her.] That's not how these things work. Are supposed to work.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Why not? What makes it impossible?

There's a reason people don't do...do threesomes. People get jealous, and start to hate each other- Aerith, how would I even explain this to the kids?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Tell me you're not jealous now. Tell me honestly that you're not jealous at all, because that would be a relief. [Ignoring the explanation part, for the moment.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Hell yes I'm jealous! Why do you think I leave when the two of you are in the same room together?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Because you're not being included and--Zack and I, neither of us meant to leave you out, we just didn't know you wanted in! I talk to the Planet, I don't read minds.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I don't want in! I want- I want this to go away! [Cloud climbs to his feet, fully intent on storming out of the room.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Not moving.] Then I'll leave.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[BACKFIRE.] Wh- No!

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

You and Zack were just fine when I got here, and now--[She flings up her hands, completely dissatisfied with the current situation.] I can move out, and then we won't be in your face when we're seeing each other.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Damn it Aerith, that's not what I meant-!

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Then tell me what you mean!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Grab.

Kiss.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Oh.

Wow.

Well.

How to react?

Grab a fistful of shirt.

Kiss back.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, this should have happened like three years agoslfksf NO.

Cloud -without hurting her- grabs her arms and shoves her back, eyes wide and-

Oh shit. Oh Holy- What- What-]

...I-... [There is a reasonable explanation for this.]

I didn't mean to do that. [And that wasn't it.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[She's not saying anything right now, Cloud, because honestly, if her expression cannot communicate how much bs she thinks you are full of, words aren't gonna do it either.

She will, however, let go of your shirt.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[There is a very, very long and awkward silence. Cloudbrain has fried.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Awkward indeed.]

Your feelings aren't going to "go away" by sweeping them under the rug.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...- [Cloud chokes on the first word, starting to back up towards the door. As an afterthought, he snags First Tsurugi and its harness, leaning against the wall on his way out.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[He's leaving this time; she knows she doesn't have anything to say that will make him stay. Still.]

You know why I think people don't do threesomes...? How often do three people really love and trust each other?

[She purses her lips, and then kneels back down at the materia chest. Time to put away the materia she won't be using.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, no answer. Just...leaving.]
