[Accidental Voice]

[herobydefault]

[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.]]

...I'm not running. But I can't stay here much longer. I don't want to end up hating her over something like this. [Cloud does take it, thank you.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

But you love her too, don't you?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I did. I dunno. I loved Tifa too, look where that went. [Cloud gives a half-shrug, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Talking about feelings blows.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Running away doesn't help much either.] Do you know what you want, Cloud? Really?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Ask me that again and I swear I'll kick you in the teeth. [Or do something.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...Yeah right.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You can be a real dick sometimes. Y'know that? [Cloud debating just storming out now.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

At least I'm being honest.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You don't think I'm being honest? [This requires a drop of the materia chest and crossed arms, son.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I can't even tell with you. I ask questions and you yell at me or run away. Every conversation we have turns into an argument. You won't even try to help me work things out - you just distance yourself more and more.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Oh okay- you tell me Zack, how should we work something like this out? I have a good idea; I stay here, skirt around, leave the room when I see you two together and we can pretend nothing's wrong. You know what, just for the hell of it, I should just cry myself to sleep while I'm at it, how about that? That way you can keep your cute little best pal and have your hot girlfriend all at once. How's that suit you?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

....

[Okay, you know what? No. Zack's going to shut up that stupid hissy fit of yours by shoving you up against the wall and pinning you there right now.]

And how's this suit you?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[WHAT THE FLYING FUCK ARE YOU DOING.] ...get off me, Zack.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Keeping you there. There's just no way to get around this without being up front about it, whether Aerith's with him or not.] No. You're going to hear me out first.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Fine. [Pouting. Cloud won't fight but you can bet he's kind of not gonna like it.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I talked to Aerith about it already. I was going to wait until after this experiment was over and done with, but since the situation's so messed up, we have no idea if it is going to end, or when. So I can't put this off anymore.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

A threesome. [May as well be blunt about it, or Cloud won't clue in at all.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[WHAT.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[You heard me.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...give me one good reason why I shouldn't deck you in the face, right now.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...Because I'm serious?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Shove, ducking under Zack's arm, wordlessly marching over to collect his little treasure box.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Not giving up just yet.] So is it that you don't want it, or that you don't believe me? [Pause.] Or are you afraid that it could be the best thing for all of us?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Right. I'm walking away because it's a good idea. [Cloud jabs a finger in Zack's direction, furious.] Look- people don't do that. They don't. And there's a reason why they don't and- you're insane.
