Why is there a room full of that thing's popsicles in the first place?
[ lup is cute when she's happy and he is glad to see jason (? that's probably normal) so it comes off a lot more amused than it should considering the subject matter ]
You're giving us the grand tour anyway, so I guess where we end up doesn't matter.
[The thumb rubbing makes him... happy, but he refuses to say that. He really doesn't have to because being lugged around with both of them seems to have him in a visibly good mood. Sucks for Jason trying to hide how he feels right now.]
Wherever you lead us is where we're going. Neither of us have been here before, so. Maybe show us something cool, Miss Wrath.
Because it was a gross abomination. I guess - popsicle is the wrong word, it's more like uh, you know those Fantasy Kool-Aid things that are uh, you squeeze them and drink the inside--
[what
but then she just stops them where they are walking, and looks at jason specifically.]
No. Not Wrath. Lup. [... it's gentle, but very, very firm.]
[ i need you to know before that moment that cloud is making the MOST baffled face at fantasy kool-aid AND the description.
but then she's stopping them and cloud looks at her with something like quiet understanding. he looks at jason in that kind of "sorry you accidentally hit a trigger but it's fine" look. this is a real look. they are all so triggered all the time. ]
[He looks--slightly offended despite the fact he made a terrible joke. He glances between the two of them.]
Lup.
[But he then keeps on walking ahead, except it's affectionate week, so he refuses to let go of Lup's hand. They are just going to get dragged along. This is like Cloud walking off, but they are still attached.]
[it's fine! he didn't know, but now he does, and she seems satisfied by this, so. she just follows along easily enough, squeezing both of their hands in hers.]
We can do the dog park later, then. [since cloud is a baby. she will take the lead, though! through the doors they go... right into the planetarium of the station, because i thought about just taking all of them straight to her room but that's a little too forward even for me. anyway it's random and they can leave and go back through for a better location but here they are.
lup, at the very least, looks delighted.]
Oh, this is one of my favorite rooms, watch.
[it's dark. but slowly, one by one - lights start to spread across the ceiling, little flickers of stars, galaxies appearing above them.]
We can go whenever if you want to watch the dogs run away.
[ or attack. that is a possibility. but here they all are in the dark and for a second cloud thinks it is very weird for this to be one of her favorite places? but then it lights up and. yeah, alright. he gets it. ]
... Not bad.
[ he misses real stars something fierce but these are pretty nice. he peers to see how jason the city boy is reacting ]
[Okay, so, like, maybe he chills out a little when they go into the dark. He has grown so used to doing so much in the dark, he prefers it. The lights wink on in a wash across the ceiling above, and his eyes widen as he glances up.
He's a city boy. There's too much light pollution to really see many stars at all. Not a cluster like this, not with so much detail.
Hilariously, he doesn't say anything. Just stands there with his head tipped back a bit, mouth slightly open, looking all around the ceiling.]
[oh, she is absolutely delighted by this response, and it wells up in her bright and warm. it's clear on her face, reflected in the glow of the stars. she doesn't say anything either for just a bit, holding their hands tightly, letting them take in the way everything looks.]
Pretty, right? [she says softly to cloud, like. while looking at jason.]
[They are unnaturally quiet suddenly, and he heard Lup talking but not what she said exactly, so he refocuses and glances at them, his expression like, "What...?"
But she's already looking at him, and Cloud is looking away; he looks mildly startled. And then he
feels sort of embarrassed, so he quickly also turns his head away too. Idiots.] Yeah...? [HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S AGREEING TO, he just wants it to seem like he had been paying attention!]
lup just. laughs! she just giggles, genuinely amused, and grabs at them to tug them a little further into the room, right in the center. it's bright enough here for them to see each other better, and the fact that they're both so embarrassed makes the affection well up in her so bad she can't stop it.
so, she hums, and just goes for it, because why not, right. the week makes her bold.
she rests her hands on cloud's chest and steals a kiss. and then she moves to jason, and tugs him down, and steals a kiss from him too.
and then she takes a bit of a step back, and looks at them expectantly? yes. your turn.]
[ well. following is fine, it always has been, and he goes along with the kiss partly by reflex and partly because it's affection week. he almost expected it, with her reaction. and he's not that surprised when she moves to kiss jason, either. he doesn't expect it, but it makes sense, and considering lup and blanca--
lup is herself and he kind of expected something between both. so. that makes sense. he's honestly fine with it.
...
and then she is looking at the two of them and he looks at jason before looking back to lup like he has never had a thought. ? yes? what? ]
He--also does not expect her to kiss Cloud right in front of him even though he should? Really stupidly stands there and watches this happen without taking his eyes away. Oddly... kind of attractive. Not sure how the boy side of this triangle looped around and connected, or when, but okay. Strangely... fine with this. He likes Cloud.
He likes Cloud???
It's too easy to pull him down for his own kiss. This just made him more stupid, though. He glances from Lup... to Cloud. He has the burden of knowledge here. He looks at Lup again, then glances away. He hesitates. Somewhere in the haze of having icky feelings, this seems like a bad idea in the long run. Like. Giving a shit about people in a place like this.
He looks at Cloud again, probably to see if it's clicked yet, and if Cloud seems repulsed. Doesn't matter. He leans in to give Cloud a kiss, once, like a test. Hm. Thoughtful. Cloud probably doesn't get much of a chance to react; he reaches up to twine his arm around Cloud's shoulders to give him... a better kiss! Maybe not a long one, he's too shy.]
[jason having to be the connecting piece like twice in two days is very funny.
lup watches jason sort of work his way through it, and when he turns to cloud, she only watches briefly before glancing up instead, giving them like, the slightest amount of privacy. for now. the two of them can figure it out, she's here to help.]
cloud absolutely doesn't get a chance to react to the first kiss, first staring up at jason in continued confusion like an absolute idiot before he leans in. He doesn't really kiss back and he doesn't really react at all, too surprised it's happening and then too surprised thinking things like "what the hell?" and "oh, I kind of liked that?" which are both equally shocked feelings.
he didn't really think about it. he rarely thinks about things like that, even thinking about liking lup feels stupid and dangerous and new most days. and if he thinks about it, sure, he'd be lying if he said he didn't think jason was physically attractive. (he has a type he tries very hard to not think about.) but he hadn't really tried to think of it beyond that.
and it feels equally as stupid and dangerous to consider the thought of liking jason like that, too. but-- for some strange reason-- less than usual. and it kind of feels... nice, too.
and he is still a little shocked at the idea it might not even be one-sided, because he's so smart.
anyway, once awakened his braincells do work pretty fast, so he has time to consider all of that before jason leans in for the second, better kiss, putting his arm around cloud, and cloud thinks-- you know. what the fuck and what the hell, respectively, and he's grabbing jason's collar to keep him there for a longer kiss. jason might not have wanted it longer but he does?
there is maybe a little teeth. affection is biting people who seem like they would like that. ]
The nipping shocks the hell out of him, but in a good way. Unfortunately sounds kinda throaty when he says,] Hey, [in a VERY unbothered tone. Somehow, this was oddly relieving?
Something… weird is going on this week, he can’t put his finger on it. Feeling playful, he bites Cloud teasingly on the jawline for the initial biting. Then he seems to remember Lup somewhere in this fog.
He turns to glance at her… invitingly? There is a parted wedge of space on her side, right there between them, all hers, where Jason has opened against Cloud. Hasn’t let go of him, though. Just made a lil space.]
her ears go bright pink when jason practically growls, and for a second she maybe pouts just a little because hey, indeed, now she doesn't want to be left out - but then jason glances over at her.
she glances at cloud, trying to see if he's fine with it, and then scoots closer and stands next to the two of them, resting her hand on jason's back and holding onto cloud's shirt with the other.
despite like, egging this on, she's now a little uncertain if she's allowed, like an idiot.]
[ give him a second he's rebooting. jason bites his jawline and there's a-- ]
Hey yourself. [ that's quieter than he means it to be, less bothered, and he's more than a little pink himself. this feels like an out of body experience but not in the usual horrifying way he has them.
he didn't forget lup was there, but something about her scooting closer and fitting in is. hm. okay, yeah, they are not deep enough in darkness to hide how red he is at this point. he stops grasping at Jason's collar but leaves his hand there (don't look at him) all while looking at her. he doesn't expect the hesitance from her. ]
... Wasn't this your idea?
[ he's embarrassed to even say it because he doesn't know what this is yet, but he uses his free hand to tug her closer to kiss her again lightly because the only thing he knows for sure is lup shouldn't be uncertain.
the rest is. whew. haha. he has no idea he wants to die a little he is not feeling any less flustered but he is trying ]
[This is so funny coming from the woman who stood back so proudly waiting for them to kiss each other.
Without any thought, he wraps his free arm around Lup's waist and pulls her in against the two of them. Affectionately, he rubs her lower back and her side. He'll also give her a kiss too, if she wants it. She has to look at him, though.
This must be... one of the week's effects, he's pretty sure. The oddest part about it, however, is... he does not... really mind this when it comes to the two of them? He doesn't mind this effect. All he does is offer a lopsided, small grin.
[well, listen, sometimes you think you are the third wheel in every relationship you've ever been in and you make your own problems. sometimes you are stupid.
she's going to say something, but cloud kisses her, and she makes a little squeaky noise instead. her grip tightens on cloud's shirt. jason's arm around her waist, his hand gently rubbing at her lower back - between that and being kissed, she is quickly realizing that this has the potential to be incredibly flustering. she is going to be embarrassed all the time forever. which is very funny for someone who initiated all of this, but here's the thing about lup - she will tease and fluster people all day long, but the second you turn it back on her she perishes.
she will take a kiss from jason, too, when she glances up at him. it's the grin on his face, it's too cute for her to resist. and then:]
It was. [she says, with a little ear flick. she is bright pink.] I'm a genius.
[ "sometimes you are stupid" describes all of them. please.
he does agree that jason's smile is cute, unfortunately, which means he's looking there when they kiss and he ducks his head a little, even redder. this all feels so weird. not a... not a bad weird but weird nonetheless. he is only 50% sure what's happening. ]
I wouldn't go that far. [ he's trying to keep the banter up like his face isn't warmer than the sun. he is managing great. ] ... Where'd this come from, anyway...?
[ a little muttered to himself but they're all holding onto each other so it's not like it's hard to hear. he doesn't even know which part of "this" he means. all of it??? ]
