[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.]]

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.

[Oh.

Wow.

Well.

How to react?

Grab a fistful of shirt.

Kiss back.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

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