[ Even from acquaintanceship to friendship, hm? He thinks of that, and can't help but smile against her hair as he breathes deep of her. With his head still floating, it's all that much easier to gently brush his lips against the top of hers, peppering quiet kisses through her hair as she speaks of his faults, yet remembering his promise to try his best for her. He'd called her his star that fateful night, and he meant every word that left his lips.

The only time that omamori wasn't on his person? Was when he went swimming with her. ]

And I can't keep my eyes off you... [ Yet he says it in a way that implies he never wanted to. He stops kissing her to hug her a little tighter, careful as he starts leaning back. If she so wishes to stay laying on top of him, she may. But no matter what, he was going to keep her safe and secure. ] Strong...beautiful... You're everythin' I wanna protect.

[ Her strength, her beauty, her smile...her feelings for him, and his for her... Cloud will protect them all. If there's anything he takes away from this fuzzy night and remembers into the morning dawn, it's this piece of him that he gives to her. ]

I swear...that I'll tell you everything. [ When he remembers it for himself. ] Imma do right by you no matter what.

[ That? Was his best. His best meant he didn't even need to try. He'll do it. ]
