[Cloud's outside, doing what he does best. Brooding.

He'll be out and around town after brooding in the hammock in front of House 50 for a while. Stop at your own risk.]

...Mom would be so ashamed of me.

[wingenvy]

...Come again?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

She-

...I dunno. She probably just wanted me to get married to a nice girl and settle down. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't approve of...this.

[wingenvy]

Wouldn't she want you to be happy?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...probably.

She... ...yeah. She would.

[wingenvy]

So don't worry about it. You always worry too much.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...this could blow up in our faces. Badly. There's a high chance that I will somehow screw this up beyond all reason. And you're okay with that?

[wingenvy]

There's a high chance I won't take it seriously enough and I'll end up bothering the hell out of you. Are you okay with that?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I think I can manage. [That and Cloud doesn't even want to consider the alternative.]

[wingenvy]

Me too. [Oh god did he just do what I think he just did.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[....AWKWARD NOW. Because yes, probably? Gonna be even more sure after his date with Tifa, but...close enough, yes.]

[wingenvy]

[That's okay. With a response like that, Zack's cool with giving him a chance to ponder it.

Pondering isn't the same as brooding, after all.]

[Sitting here. A little red in the face. ...God he feels like some dorky teenager. Little trooper Cloud all over again.]

[wingenvy]

[Shoulder nudge. Poor thing.] You wanna head in?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[R-red. Um. What why is he so awkward now, what.]

Oh. ...okay.

[wingenvy]

[Cloud he's not gonna hold your hand, man. Buck up. LEAVING HAMMOCK NOW.]

C'mon. It's getting chilly out.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It's June. How the hell is this chilly? [Cloud does get up, though he's tempted to just flop back in the hammock and sleep.]

[wingenvy]

It's chilly when the sun hasn't been out all damned day. [Don't argue, punk, just hurry up and git.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You have no cold tolerance. I'm surprised you didn't whine the whole time in Modeoheim. [SHUFFLING inside.]

[wingenvy]

That's not true! I just prefer to be comfortable when I'm not working. [Yaaaaay, sweet warmth.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, whatever. [Imagining Zack having a "professional" side is a little difficult, so Cloud's just going to...not do it. ...maybe get some coffee. Beeline for the kitchen.]

[wingenvy]

[Following. What the heck are you doing, you brooding nutter.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oi, making coffee. Not brooding. Want some?]

[wingenvy]

[Yeah, sure. You addict.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Okay here have a mug. On the countertop. ...not handing it to you. Kind of...just...leaving it there, moving over here to have own coffee. Fff.]
