[ it's still better than jason's record, wow!!! he was dead for one day only!!
he blinks when jason bonks their foreheads together ]
Don't call her cute. [ she is, but also, the mixed feelings there. weird. he raises his hand to cup jason's cheek while they're like this in a light pet ] It's fine. Wouldn't be the first time I get knocked out.
[ he also means he doesn't need to be thanked, but he'll let jason have that one because he knows he's still worried ]
[Ooo. He sort of smirks like he knows a secret now. Cloud sounds exactly like a boy who has a crush and then gets mad at you when you tease him about it.
The pet unfortunately placated him, but the words don’t.]
God. Is this what I sound like when I say shit like that? Annoying.
[ leave his aerith and tifa alone!!!! they can now date freely!!!
he stares ]
Your tone makes it worse. [ wry while petting jason's cheek in a very gay moment. ] I'm saying you'll probably be nicer about it than the other times. Won't even let me hit the ground before burying me.
[HATE THAT'S WHAT HE'D SAY TOO. He kisses Cloud back to try shutting Cloud up. Ugh. He wraps his arms around Cloud's neck and shoulders because it's easier to hug and not look at Cloud in the face.]
...The dream is going to be rough probably. You gonna be okay with that?
[He doesn't want to look Cloud in the face because he's being soft, but it feels wrong not to lean back to look Cloud in the face. To make sure, like, Cloud isn't lying to him.]
[ he seems sincere there. listen! it cannot be worse than every single instance of waking nightmare he has! his brain is so fucked up. he is already assuming he is going to be visited by the dreams of sephiroths pasts ]
You say that, dumbass, but it's pretty fucked in the moment.
[He's just saying. But he... trusts Cloud to be able to handle it even if he SHOULD NOT trust Cloud to take on more trauma. They are both so damn stupid.] Okay. [He puts both hands on Cloud's face and just... holds them there for a few seconds. That's it. Then he lowers them.]
Don't do anything stupid between now and then, alright?
[ he leaned into the touch while it was happening, but otherwise he's still staring at Jason with absolutely unfounded confidence, I hope he winds up in a coma ]
I'm too busy babysitting both of you for that.
[ this isn't even a joke it's a fact how can he get into trouble when these two run into doors constantly ]
Yeah, see? She's so reckless and feisty. She's always getting into stuff she isn't supposed to get into. Self-sacrificial, too. Throwing herself in front of the bus for everyone.
Like you don't talk shit all the time. [ case in point. two minutes ago, throwing lup under the bus. there's a beat before there's a chaste kiss ] S'alright. I can deal with babysitting you both.

[Who does Cloud think he is? Jason Todd? But he does give Cloud his full attention.]
No offense, but you don’t sound nearly as cute as Aerith does.
[Teasing. He plops his forehead against Cloud’s.]
Okay. If you’re sure. I’m gonna have to whack you, so… sorry about that in advance.
[Imagine he knocks the amnesia right out of Cloud this way (no).]
…And thanks.

He makes a bit of a face, bunched and nose wrinkled.]
I’m going to bury you in the Nightman’s penthouse if you keep it up.

It's pretty much all the time.

Hey. Give us a little credit, damn. [No, don't.] At least say it's me and you babysitting Lup.
[This is just not true.]
no subject
also it's not entirely true but cloud still tilts his head like he is considering it ]
She does get into trouble a lot.

Yeah, see? She's so reckless and feisty. She's always getting into stuff she isn't supposed to get into. Self-sacrificial, too. Throwing herself in front of the bus for everyone.
