[ absolutely embarrassing that she is more romantic than either of them put together. but cloud's looking out at the world and pretending the clear yes didn't fluster him ]
[He is also embarrassed, but not quite as much as Cloud. He laces their fingers and stands there with his head a bit back so he can look around the sky.
Cloud basically asked the question he was going to ask.]
she grins at the fluster, but.] It didn't have a name that we could find. It was basically just our uh, our beach episode. The whole world is water with just a couple of islands. Nothing ever got built here, so the sky is just... clear, and pretty.
[an ear flick.] Spoiled rotten, just the way I like it.
[she expects this from cloud, honestly, and she just thinks it's cute. jason gets a little wink.]
I want to. So, you're welcome. [she says, a touch soft - because jason's right, this is how she shows her love. she cares, and the best way she can express it is through food, and touch, too, the way she squeezes their hands in her own.]
Sit down.
[and she'll show them the spread of food - it's a little bit of everything. finger foods, mostly, from homemade bread to jam and crackers to more complicated stuff like sushi and deep fried feta balls. not all of it goes together so much, but she can't ever get a favorite food out of either of them so she just made everything she could think of that'd be easy to eat.]
[NO, DON'T WINK. His smoothness goes out the window immediately for a second. It's okay. He has to reboot is all. It gives him time to squeeze her hand and then move toward the spread.]
This isn't going to last five minutes with me.
[BIG BOY. He's kidding. He is tugging them in the daisy chain to the spread, though. He will sit down because she has decreed it, also looking :O at the food.]
[ALL IT TAKES IS A WINK? boys. anyway, she laughs when cloud goes wide eyed.]
Oh, you know. Sometimes a bunch of ignoramuses accidentally unveil themselves and you stress cook for a few hours. It's surprising how much you can get done when you're buzzing into the next dimension! [she says this so cheerfully.]
Eat all of it. I made it for you. [she will not eat any, unless they really insist.] The bread is the best part, actually, I outdid myself.
[ the reminder of the staff makes him frown a little but he settles down to sit too, looking at the spread and trying to identify some of it. he has never seen deep fried feta balls in his life. ]
It's weird if you just watch us eat. [ he could be nicer, but he also figures she vibrated into the next dimension and didn't take care of herself, so. but since she said it he's hesitantly reaching for the bread himself and handing some to jason ] Or just watch Jay eat, if he has anything to say about it.
[He also frowns at her stress cooking. Like mood but STOP as well. He takes some of the bread Cloud hands him, giving Cloud a lil kicky on the leg with his foot. SHUT.]
There's enough to share. You should eat with us. We can try to get Cloud to feed you romantically.
[This is what Cloud gets for bullying him first. He tries the bread quickly before he can try it because Cloud kills him.]
[cloud is correct because she absolutely has not fed herself today
she does laugh at the little kick, because bullying is funny.]
There's some fruit in there somewhere. I should've brought the dip-able chocolate for the strawberries, huh. [teehee.] Neither of you are physically capable of feeding me romantically.
There's nothing romantic about feeding people... [ half mumbled into bread as he pretends he is not /// but also like. he means this. he does not get the appeal. he knows it's a thing but he reflexively thinks it's obnoxious, like an asshole ]
[she won't even scold jason about talking with his mouth full because she also does it. unfortunate. dryly, to jason's bread comment:]
Wow... the wonders never cease.
[and then:] Think creatively, Cloud.
... There might be whipped cream in one of those containers, actually. [she has no idea she was in a fugue state.] Maybe we could demonstrate for him, Jay.
[ he was thinking creatively the second jason talked about chocolate and whipped cream, but he's absolutely making a bit of a disgruntled face. ]
Let's not demonstrate for me. [ he is thinking that it sounds sticky as all hell. he also sounds resigned to it happening anyway, so he's grabbing something else in the food pile ] The food's good, but not enough for me to tune you out yet.
[ if he snarks will he be free of this feeding people romantically thing. no probably not ]
[He laughs, luckily not with bread in his mouth. How is he going to be embarrassed then turn around and be a gremlin with this. Maybe because it's at Cloud's expense? Listen.]
Cloud isn't into food play, I guess. But here.
[He'll pick up one of the feta balls to feed it to her. Not sexily or anything. (He does not control the her eating it sexily.) He just wants her to eat with them.]
[this is not an especially sexy thing to eat so she like, doesn't. but she will eat it if jason feeds it to her, ear flicking happily. this is terrible, she only wants to eat this way from now on. spoil her.
she will sigh and make a slightly obscene noise after she swallows her food, though, just to tease.]
[ im sorry he can't even concentrate on Lup's obscene noise because he looks so disappointed in the world as he grabs some sushi to try ]
Of course there's a term for it. [ this man has had sex while crossdressed just because his partners wanted it and yet he still thinks he can judge kinks. he will give lup One Thing though; ] But you are. It's good food.
[ don't sound embarrassed to compliment the chef cloud please ]
[Hey. If she wants to sexily eat a feta cheese ball, more power to her. He may have made a mistake feeding her, though. Cloud should be prepared to feed her in the future.]
What, food play? Yeah.
[He kind of exchanges a mild grin with Lup, and there is NO reason this man should be grinning when he couldn't even compliment her about her hair without the exact same damn thing happening.]
I don't think we ever doubted you were good at this.
[she ends up just giggling a little when cloud ignores her, ear flicking as she swallows.]
Thanks, I know. [she hums, putting her hand to her cheek.] Sometimes a girl has to fish a little for compliments.
Anyway. There's a word for everything. [she's going to dig through the food for the fruit, though she does watch them both try food because it genuinely makes her happy to see them enjoy it.]
[ cloud's trying a little bit of everything like he is actually trying to figure out what he likes best. incredible. Will he. Tune in to find out.
he doesn't comment on lup needing to fish for compliments because it makes him feel a little guilty they are Bad at this, but also, he's suffering from food kink talk so neither of them deserve compliments actually ]
I'm good without going over any lists. [ a word for everything is horrifying. he knows it's true. but he hates it. ]
That's the fastest way to get him to never kiss you again. Or like, talk to you again. [she informs jason. but she will watch jason try to feed cloud something because she wants to see how that goes. she will munch on some grapes as she does.]
I can hear you guys talk. [ stop conspiring when he's right there!! also the biggest proof cloud would Not be into infantilism is that his first reflex upon Jason trying to feed him is to lean back and frown. like this is a horrid trap. ]
I can feed myself...
[ ughhh. but after a wary pause he does awkwardly lean over and hesitantly bite the offered food. he looks more like a feral cat slowly being domesticated than anything sexy or romantic. it's fine. ]

Dinner too? We're spoiled.

... You don't have to spoil us. [ jason can disagree if he wants that is just cloud's reflex anytime someone is remotely nice to him. ]
no subject
[Now look. He's been in Cloud's shoes very recently, but he's learning. He sort of, like, pointedly at Lup gives Cloud an amused side-eye.]
What he's trying to say is: thanks for spoiling us with dinner. We're starving.
[Only because he knows Lup likely does this to show her love.]
no subject
I want to. So, you're welcome. [she says, a touch soft - because jason's right, this is how she shows her love. she cares, and the best way she can express it is through food, and touch, too, the way she squeezes their hands in her own.]

[He is talking with his mouth full but trying not to. He just can’t SHUT UP, baby.]

Well, we don't have to recite him any lists, just throw them all on him as a surprise. Maybe Cloud will be into infatilism too.
[HE'S JOKING. Neither him nor Lup would be into that either anyway. This is mean. He tries to make amends by attempting to feed Cloud something...]
