It's a hill. [ he can walk on a hill???? but he does stop kicking when Jason holds on with his stupid meat. he hates this. I need you to know this is now a cartoon pose because he's got his arms crossed as he glares out into the distant while he is being carried like this ]
You might slide down it and right into the bay like a slipper blonde fish. I'd get to tell Lup I caught one.
[LMAO, CLOUD. This is so funny. They go up the hill with Cloud pouting, and Jason holding onto the backs of his legs. The LEAST Cloud could do is look at Jason's nice ass, sheesh.
Once he up at the top and on the pavement again, he rolls his shoulder and uses his hands to pull Cloud off, plopping Cloud back on two feet. He's grinning about it, though. Hehe.]
[ cloud 0% appreciated jason's ass because he was too busy going >:( thinking that jason was being an ass, thanks ]
I wasn't going to slide down the hill.
[ it's what he says when jason plops him down, shaking his head a little because he was kind of upside down and all the blood went there. thanks. that sucks.
Hey. I was looking out for your safety. Making sure you didn't.
[What the HECK, no kicky.] Don't kick me, brat. Are you pouting? [He will tease the shit out of Cloud for the kicking. He leans in to smooch the corner of Cloud's mouth.]
[ he's not appeased by smooches!! he is still indignant!!! ignore the slight fluster!!!! ]
I'm older than you. And I don't pout. [ the kick was warranted? the brat comment was not. wow. but despite the sulking he looks at the motorcycle and shrugs a shoulder which is as good as a yes ]
[He just snorts when Cloud mentions being older.] By one year. [Also:] You do pout. Want to know how I know? Because when you do it, it's cute. [:) This is what Cloud gets for being fussy. Bullying.
He tugs Cloud a bit, walking back over to the bike. His turn to wow Cloud with riding. He straddles it so Cloud has room to get on.]
[ it's grumbled because he is aware this is a lost cause argument and he is being bullied intensely right now. there's a moment of hesitation before cloud sits behind jason on the bike, wrapping his arms around his dumb dorito waist. he was hesitating because this feels like cuddling which is strictly a reward jason doesn't deserve thanks ]
[He does not say, "Cute," to be bratty, but the energy is there. He pushes the kickstand up once Cloud is on and holds the bike upright between his thighs while he thinks.
... I don't know. [ jason's gotham talks have never been that positive, so. he tightens his hold without realizing as he thinks ] Your favorite places in the city, I guess.
[He uses his feet to roll the bike back so he can turn it mostly around.] Hold on, blondie. [He slides his thumb over the ignition on the handlebar and then pushes it to crank it.
Cloud's favorite! The purring to life motorcycle. Jason, like Cloud, also takes off very fast, but not very furious. Back down the pavement to the road! No forcing more mansions onto poor Cloud.]
[ he thinks jason needs to know that. his hold on jason is pretty tight, but it's clearly not out of fear considering he's looking around as the scenery passes. it is cloud's favorite and while the sync will tell jason he enjoys himself a lot more as driver than passenger he's enjoying himself in this one too ]
[Cloud and Jason both fighting over the driver's seat on a motorcycle because they have the most fun. Hate it.
He takes Cloud back into Gotham since there isn't too much on the outside except for stupid Wayne Manor. A lot of Jason's favorite places are surprisingly, embarrassingly soft for a dude who spends a lot of time shooting and being shady. But maybe that's why?
Cloud can see a family run restaurant that makes the best soul food, a piece of the giant park (does he ride the bike inside of it and on the grass? yes), a long tunnel that has glowing tags of graffiti as they putt through. He will show Cloud his shitty middle school since they talked about schools.]
[ they need to be a motorcycle couple. they are all on their own motorcycle and hold hands at stop light or whatever
for now cloud's observing everything. it's hard to hide the kind of fondness (and a little amusement) at the things he's showing him because they're embarrassingly soft. jason acts so tough and for what*
*cloud is the same way
he doesn't know schools much but they're so in sync by then he recognizes it on sight, which is a little weird, but whatever. ]
Also stop. Don't make fun of him for the damn not edgy or bad boy things he's showing off. Listen here. The next place they're going is by the Gotham Public Library.
The school isn't dilapidated or anything, but it isn't the best looking one. The typical dingy, but sufficient public school in the middle of a city. One of them anyway.] That was it. [He looks at it in the same sort of distant way he will look at the island later.]
[ he is immediately gonna call him a nerd when they get to the library, you realize ]
Every one of them? [ cloud doesn't sound surprised or judgmental because it's a mood, but still. ] Pretty impressive. There had to be at least forty kids in there.
[ he's clearly lowballing it by a ridiculous amount as a joke about being from a podunk town. ]
[He's exaggerating. But they both are, so it's fine. Cloud probably didn't hate every single kid either. Still very much a mood.
He straightens up to stretch his back without knocking Cloud's arms away. His head shakes.]
Stopped going in eighth grade. So I was about, I dunno. Thirteen maybe. B had too much money, so he could hire a fancy tutor. They were all old and wrinkly and boring. I wanted nothing more than those movie fantasies where the teenage boy got the really smoking hot teacher. But you win some, you lose some.
[He barks out some laughter under Cloud's judgemental gaze.]
What? I was a kid going through puberty, sue me! I can't help it you didn't have any sexy older women in backwater Nibelheim to have the hots for before you ran off to be a hero, Cloud.
[He teasingly prods back at Cloud with his elbow. He is such a nuisance.]
[Jason does not believe this, but it's fine. He glances over his shoulder at Cloud, trying not to smirk about the dig. He kind of prods Cloud with his elbow once more.
Be nice to him, or he'll do the puppy-dog eyes.]
You got me there. But it didn't matter really since, you know, I kicked the bucket before my balls dropped anyway.
[He pauses, then twists around to glance back at Cloud. DON'T JUST SAY THAT IN SUCH A DEADPAN WAY. He sort of laughs suddenly, but seems embarrassed! Please let him self dunk in peace...]
Wow, okay. I've rubbed off on you too much, you need to shut up. [Fond.] I have one more favorite place, but you'll hate it.
[ he's training jason to not make death jokes by absolutely embarrassing him when he does them. is it working. he doesn't even acknowledge he said it even though jason set him up for a beautiful second punch with rubbing off, because he is not actually big on dirty jokes. it's tragic. ]
Why am I going to hate it?
[ genuinely curious as he tries to guess where they are going and how likely it is jason is trolling him with it ]
[He turns forward again, situating himself in place and picking one leg up, but not taking off yet or anything.]
It's the library.
[That's when he takes off. Cloud cannot complain or disagree now. They are going by the library. Luckily, he isn't dragging Cloud inside, only showing him the fancy outside.]
I don't hate libraries. [ he almost has to shout it over the sudden roar of the motorcycle, tightening his hold on jason reflexively. ] I just think you're a nerd.
