How's that any different than him picking up smoking?
[ the joke is there's no weed in ff7. anyway jason can lean on cloud as long as he needs, cloud's not pushing him away and will also keep his own arm around him to support him. so i guess. this is like walk cuddles. sure? now jason is the meat in the middle. he'll let go if jason wants though it's just a support thing.
he'll lead them out, pretending something about this doesn't feel familiar if backwards (not the time, one faulty brain at once). he only breaks pace when they're out of the cemetery entirely, walking a little slower now ]
Room?
[ anyone have an actual destination in mind, cloud just wanted jason out of the trigger zone ]
[He's not delirious, you're delirious. He walks with the two of them until they're out of the cemetery, and then he lightens his weight so he can walk mostly on his own. He doesn't try to detach them from himself, though?
So if Lup wants to stick, he'll keep his arm around her shoulders. Cloud can be tsundere, but Jason will also (meme voice) what do u need that small waist For? For other men to grab it? him.]
It doesn't matter, I just need a shower wherever we go.
[He wants to make a joke about how Batman knows everything anyway, but he doesn't have it in him right now to do much more joking than he already has. Wow!]
You can say I'm fat, I'm not going to cry.
[Okay, so maybe he has one more joke left in him.]
I shouldn't have taken my aspirin the, like, first day. [Him noggin.] Is... my head bleeding? Damn, someone hit me like a whack-a-mole.
[SHE HAS TO MAKE YOU BOYS HURT COMFORT KISS SOMEHOW]
You're built like the Fantasy Titanic on steroids, Jason, shut up. [there is no heat to this whatsoever.] And I told you we should've kept the aspirin.
[she'll let cloud check if his head is bleeding. for right now, she's going to press a little closer to jason briefly before untangling herself so she can open the door to her room. both of you have seen her room and the fantasy guy fieri is still there, so congrats for that.
jason's bat eyes might see a folded note on her desk, though.]
[ of aspirin, he means. surprise! but she's opening the door so cloud is checking jason's head without commenting on his size because jason is just the size of half the men that exist in ff7. it's fine.
he's leading him into the room and waits for jason to let go of him so he can go grab both clothes and said painkillers. once he has key. ]
Maybe it wouldn't have sank on steroids...? Fuck that iceberg in particular.
[A BOTTLE. He gives Cloud an exasperated look.] I'm going to need two. [Maybe three, but he will start with two aspirin for now.
There's a lil goose egg on his noggin, but it doesn't seem to be bleeding or anything. He has a little ouchies is all. He glances from Lup to Cloud in the room, hesitating. When he digs the key out, he also digs out a lot of dirt. Oops. Sorry to Lup and her room.
He hands Cloud the key, but turns away to head for the bathroom. One of the stars at the bottom is lit.]
I don't know how you had the energy to ask for a whole dang bottle with this week going the way it's been going.
[she scowls down at the dirt on the floor, but it's. fine. jason is more important than her floor.
when cloud has the key, lup almost starts to follow jason to the bathroom, and then like, stops. he's a big boy he can shower on his own, but she looks worried anyway.]
... Let me know if you need anything. [she says, finally.] Don't pass out in the shower. You probably already have a concussion.
[ hmm, well. he trails off with a shrug, deciding not to finish that as he watches jason go. this is kind of his shortcut to his room but it's fine he'll go the way around. he reaches and squeezes lup's shoulder briefly before stepping out to get jason a change of clothes and some aspirin. he'll be back before jason's out of the shower probably! he nyoom'd because he is still worried. he's also bringing the whole ass bottle. there's definitely a few taken from it but it's only been like. three days, so not that many. ]
He lifts a hand over his shoulder and waves it at Lup. He's got this. Will he fall in the shower? WHO IS TO SAY....... He will not fall in the shower because he's going to literally sit down right under the spray and... just sit there. Like Vegeta in the rain.
Sitting and thinking about his sins.
He does come out after a bit, and he's clean, but not exactly any less worrying to them because he's in nothing but a towel. Stop. He has come out to get his clothes.]
[lup just flops down on her bed and stresses for the however long it takes for jason and cloud to come back. she just is :stressedbunny: about cloud's headaches and jason's sins.
when cloud comes back she wanders across the room to lean up and kiss him on the cheek as a thank you before going to fuss about setting out the clothes and aspirin for jason.
when he comes out, she doesn't seem to mind jason being in nothing but a towel. he ain't got anything she hasn't seen. she is Slightly (zia voice) distracted but the dude has been disassociating in the shower for like fifteen minutes so it's not like she's going to jump him. instead, she slides off the bed to hand him the clothes, water, and the aspirin.
[ "for the what" anna screams and then flurry is like ah yes, the headaches in her tag. i love you both.
cloud absolutely does not look a little flustered at the cheek kiss, it is her imagination, but he puts jason's key on lup's desk next to the important folded note flurry wants us to ask about which he stares at with a frown right before jason comes out. lup fusses over him so cloud just stands there looking at him.
in concern, im very sorry, he is just not that horny as a person to even consider it right now ]
[stop we always share half a braincell, she just had it at the time
He takes the clothes and medicine and water from Lup.] Thanks. [To both of them. For, like, pulling him out of the dirt, too, BUT LISTEN HE IS TOO SHY TO SAY IT ALL.]
Yeah, actually. The shower helped.
[He glances at Cloud... down at the letter... then at Lup. Slowly, he pops the pills into his mouth so he can swallow them with some water. Expression sort of pointed. But he doesn't say anything.
Imagine he drops the towel right here to change in front of both of them. It's fine, he takes the clothes back into the bathroom so he can put them on. He will leave the other clothes in there for now until he can... idk, give them to housekeeping.]
[picks the braincell off the ground and throws it at zia
when jason gives her that look, she frowns, ear flicking violently. instead of saying anything, though, she goes to sit down on the bed again, looking at the invoices. these are just as bad as the dumb note, god.]
Both of you come sit down. [she says, bossily, after a moment, shoving the invoices away from her. goodbye.]
? at their shared glances. cloud's immediately distracted from that by looking over the invoices with something that looks like a little like guilt on his face before lup asks them over. he turns to look at jason instead ]
Go ahead. [ he's not like, planning to stay standing up, but he's saying it so jason goes in the middle because spoilers they are both still concerned about him. shock. gasp. he'll sit down on the other side of the meat after ]
[He comes back out in time for the fling and the command. Damn, okay. He just got back! Bossy.
First, when he gets over, though, he picks up the invoices to look at them. A frown thins his lips. Never mind, he hates this. He puts them back down before he moves over to put the meat between them both.]
[she immediately takes her usual spot in curling up against jason's side once he's settled in between them.]
You can say that again. [she sighs.] I don't even know where to start.
[she does absently pet jason's hand while she's sitting here, however. she would be doing this to cloud too if he wasn't on the other side of all this meat.]
I'll try to talk to people later about what they might know.
[ cloud's knocking his knee against jason's and leaving it there when he settles. this is only because of manspreading and not for contact. ignore that this bed is big enough they don't need to be so close. ]
... I got the phone call last night.
[ so that's the first thing people may know! yaaaay ]
[The are once again smushed and snuggling on a bed that is big enough. He puts his hand on Lup’s thigh to hold it, absently rubbing it with his thumb. Her lean makes him lean a bit more against Cloud.
He grimaces at the news, looking up at Cloud. TODAY SUCKS!!]
…Don’t know if my dream had anything useful. It was just… [He hesitates for a moment. His hand kind of squeeze’s Lup’s thigh.] A cycle of digging out of a grave. Over and over. Once I got the the top, someone would bury me again.
[okay, well, cloud says he got the phone call and considering he's been giving them both guilty looks all morning she reaches across for him as well, trying to put her hand on his arm. she doesn't protest the touch jason gives her either, fingers of the hand not reaching for cloud wrapping gently around his wrist and holding.
for now, she doesn't say anything, just listening, but she's here. emotional support elf.]
[ well okay first, fuck his phone call because that dream is fucking RUDE and his jaw clenches a little. Jason was already leaning more on him, so all cloud does is move his arm so he can put a hand on Jason's knee and squeezes it a little.
that's the wrist lup grabs next so his hand is now there forever, sorry Jason ]
... Nothing much. There was some crackling, and then... Someone gasping for breath behind that. They stopped. Crackling didn't. [ he shrugs the shoulder Jason is not leaning into, adding a little absently; ] Think there was a fire.
[ which is awesome he loves fire he has no fire related trauma ]
[It's stuck there! They are all stuck touching each other pensively. It's fine. BOTH BOYS GET SOME FAMILIAR TRAUMA! He bunches up his face kind of sourly and Done.
Just gonna put his other hand on top of Lup's on top of Cloud's and squeeze.]
Please tell me you came out of this unscathed.
[To Lup. Which, even if she did, she did not because she now has to worry about two idiot men.]
[what the fuck!!! why did BOTH of you get horrible trauma related shit
she makes a grouchy sound, tucking herself in further.]
I didn't hear or see anything. [she mumbles, but she sounds - sad. maybe it sounds like "i have nothing to help with" in a sense. it's going to be a hell of a trial, going in with three bodies and no clues to contribute.]
... Just rest, both of you, for right now. No more getting buried alive or horrible The Ring phone calls, I swear to god.
