[ And his question was caused by a loose tongue! He doesn't fret it. With Ayaka resting her head on his chest, he spreads his legs for her so that she can get closer to him, rather than her sitting on his lap. Leaning back on one hand, his other hand moves through her freshly dried but still cool hair, bowing his head slightly as his chin rests on the top of her head. ]
Took the words outta my mouth.
[ Cradling her, his thoughts continue to flow, softer, ]
Feels like I'm still trying to figure out who I am, sometimes... Mm. I haven't felt more like myself than when I'm with you.
[ She's so comfortable like this. Not just with how they're resting in bed, but in general. Cloud makes her feel safe always, that she can be herself in his company. She wants to be here always, to be with him and away from the responsibility her family name brings. Ayaka could never run away from the responsibilities held by the Kamisato Clan, but...
It wouldn't be so bad to have a home away from home, right? ]
The Cloud I know has always been kind, generous, and thoughtful. [ This wouldn't be the first time Cloud has said something about figuring himself out. Knowing that there is more to him apart from who she already fell for? She's looking forward to getting to know all of him. ] He's not very good with his words, but... he's always done his best for me.
[ 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. ]
[ Cloud doesn't have anything to worry about in that regard. He's Ayaka's first ever boyfriend, and the story they've made for themselves is far different from romances she's read in novels or in poems. Despite that, though, it is the best kind of romance for her. Seeing Cloud makes her heart skip a beat each time, and being with him feels like a dream come true. She had thought it romantic to stay asleep and keep dreaming, if it meant the person she loved was in his dreams... but being aware feels much better. It means she gets to see Cloud and be with him, and nothing about it would be made up. He has done right by her, despite the challenges they've faced. Ayaka could not ask for more. ]
Oh, Cloud... [ Ayaka shifts a little when Cloud leans back, so she can rest properly on the pillow and she can look at him instead of rest on him. It doesn't feel like her world is spinning anymore, but she's started to grow tired. They'll need to rest soon, if they want an early start in the morning. Her voice trails off as she fights to keep her eyes open. ] Amazing... you are amazing...
[ Once they've settled down, he rests on his side, hand tuckered under his pillow as he brings it up to his head, whilst his other hand brushes away some of the hair from her face. But as he finishes tucking it behind her, it never draws away, instead resting gently against the side of her head as he shuffles in just a little closer. Seeing her own lids grow heavy sparks a yawn on the blond's part. No! He doesn't want to leave this night yet...but what did he have to be afraid of when dawn had her waiting for him again? ]
Nope...you are...
[ And whether she responds or not, he makes good on his promise from earlier. They got warm? And before they could say goodnight, he was going to kiss her again. If there was anything she was going to say, he'd listen to her. He'd listen well into the dreams that sail them away from this night of silly, cherished memories. ]
