Their walk continues to be filled with fun chatter, plans for the future, whether individual or as a couple, amongst other things. The closer they get to their lodging, though, the colder it gets. It is almost always Winter in Coldreach, after all! And not evne their comfortable clothing can keep them warm for long.
One last look at the stars above outside their little treehouse, though. The balcony gives such a nice view, and Ayaka is already thinking that this could he such a relaxing place to have breakfast in the morning. They could order in and eat it outside.
Ayaka doesn't take too long observing the stars. It was just for one last look, after all! Once inside, she takes off her blazer and hangs it on the nearby rack. It's gotten late, but not too late that the day is over. With how quiet it is up here though, it definitely makes it feel like it's the perfect time to wind down for the night. And you can't do that without a cup of tea! ]
They probably do not serve sencha... And I feel it is too late to disturb the room service crew. . . [ u_u Hmm. . . ] I wish I could make today last longer, but when today ends, it just means there is next year to look forward to.

[ Because if they haven't closed up shop yet? Then in his eyes, it's all fair game! After removing his boots, he grabs the stiff panel of a room service menu and plops himself down at the edge of their bed. While he reads through and checks what the service times are, he listens intently to what she's saying, all the while skimming the words. ]
If today ends, that just means I'll make tomorrow better with you.
[ Ah! ]
Hey, check it out. [ He flips the panel around so that she can have a see! Whether she sits with him or not, she can at least see for herself that not all hope is lost. ] Looks like the kitchen's closed down, but snacks are open for another twenty-ish minutes.
[ Which includes tea. 'u' ]
no subject
[ It's not a big deal! It's just tea, and they can make up for all the tea they didn't drink when they get back home.
Plopping down next to Cloud, she fiddles with her skirt for a moment. A shy sort of fidgeting as she gathers up the courage to ask her beau: ]
Um... tomorrow morning... would you like to have breakfast at the balcony? I can order food and tea for us, and set up there. [ If there's a flower shop that can deliver, she'd want to order some for Cloud, too. ] Though if you'd prefer to eat inside or at a restaurant, then I don't mind.
no subject
You're better than me for that.
[ Falling quiet as he watches her, he lifts a brow, curiouser when Ayaka starts to fiddle with her skirt. And now it's her turn to be shy when she starts to ask about what they can do tomorrow. Everything she's proposing? She might as well have beaten him to the punch for proposing it all. Because while he might not have had a 1-to-1 itinerary, he still wanted to make sure this getaway for the both of them counted. Their night spent at the observatory and recreating their old memories at the pub wasn't something he would take for granted. Especially when he looks at the camelia charm now adorning his phone.
Just as Ayaka finishes, how she wouldn't mind them eating in or at a restaurant, his hand slips over the top of her lap, for gentle support as he leans in. If she's not looking his way, she's getting a kiss along the side of her head. If she's looking in his eyes? She's getting a gentle sweep of his lips against hers.
Soft and sweet...before he draws away with a nod. ]
Gimme breakfast on the balcony. [ A beat. ] Hard to think of a better way to start my morning with you.
no subject
The blush on her cheeks is because she doesn't wish for her invitation to be rejected. She'd always want to do things that Cloud is comfortable in, or at the very least, open to. Sometimes, she thinks her ideas of romance may not be possible, even if it's as simple as having breakfast out on the balcony on a cool and crisp morning. But Cloud takes her hand, kisses her, tells her words that warm her heart not because she wants to hear them, but because she understands now that it is what he wants, too. ]
Then... please leave it to me. I shall coordinate with room service tomorrow.
[ Her tone gives away the relief she's feeling, that Cloud wants what she wants, too, but there's no need to point that out anymore and thank him. She promises he'll have nothing to worry about, instead! ]
I shall make sure the start of our new year together will be nothing but good memories for you.
[ (And that means breakfast in the balcony might not be the first thing they do...) ]

[ Cloud's head feels lighter than normal. And no, it has very little to do with the alcohol they had prior to making it back. But if he had any less restraint, he'd have tackled Ayaka to the bed already, holding her tight out of an eruption of joy. But instead, Ayaka receives it in pieces. Bit by bit. Holding her hand here. Squeezing it there. Kissing her now. Telling her everything they both want to hear. ]
Mm. [ (Breakfast on the balcony may not be the first thing they do...and if they wake up doing anything else? He's going to make sure she remembers every second of it.) ] And I'm gonna make sure...
[ He made his choice a long time ago. Even saying it now still felt...well, not hard. But heavy. Like he knew the gravity of his decision but without an ounce of regret. Without Nippon or Elipsa, he wouldn't have made it to this point. He wouldn't have met someone who swiftly became the woman of his life. He wouldn't have become so...complete. And knew exactly where he wanted to spend his days reveling in this complete person.
By her side. ]
...that the rest of our lives gives us even more.
no subject
I love you, Cloud. I have never felt so happy until I met you.
[ He's so close to her. All she's left to do is to inch a little closer so that all she can do is lean up a little so she can kiss him again, giving his hand a squeeze at the same time.
She doesn't know what it is he truly means by that, that he's made his decision on what he'd do if he were given the choice to go back to Gaia or go to Inazuma and stay there forever. To her, it's hopeful words for the future. A promise. But everything in between is still uncertain. When it would be, how... but Ayaka is filled with optimism, nevertheless. ]
no subject
I love you, too.
[ Squeezing her hand right back, their fingers enlace as he leans down to meet her halfway for their kiss. The road they may take to meet at the end may be hazed...but it wouldn't deter him. It wouldn't stop him from coming up that pathway from Chinju Forest, upon the doorsteps of the Kamisato Estate. There was too much at stake for him to accept anything less. With the path he's since walked since arriving in Nippon... A path he never would have been granted under normal circumstances. In another time, another life... Cloud wouldn't have even had this chance. He never would have known of the countless realms out there. A world with no Kamisato Ayaka. A world where, if he gets his happiness, it's through an entirely different path with painful roadblocks.
That Cloud...would go on to fight for what he cherishes most in a world in desperate need of salvaging. As for the man who sits by Ayaka's side now?
This Cloud...
He has a chance to be happy. And fight for it in a completely new way. Which is why he'll live for the moment. Every instant with her. Every kiss. The hand that rests atop her thigh as he kisses her again.
And again...and again, his head feeling light. He's unwilling to stop. ]

There's nowhere else she'd rather be now, being with her beau as they start a new year together. As they start drafting a new page in their story that would last eternity. And everything else that's happened today, the past weeks, almost a month or so now, it spurs her to give her all when she kisses him. A memorable way to end the night.
It doesn't take long for her to inch closer and closer until their knees are touching. Ayaka kisses him again and again, responding to him in kind, but at the same time, giving more of her and letting Cloud know just how much she loves him and needs him. It doesn't take long for Ayaka to wrap her free arm around her beau's neck either, pull him closer and bring him closer to her. To everyone else, it's just a normal and hopefully happy day! But to Ayaka, this is one of the most important days in her entire life. ]

All so that he could gently coax her to shuffle her way further up the bed with him. Until he could finally get her to lay with him. Whether they simply lied down side by side, or he decided to get his little bird perched atop him again, it didn't matter to him. He wanted her kiss. Her touch. He wanted to feel her against him for as long as this night would allow. She excites him. Drives him wild.
If nothing else, whether they get too excited for their own good or lie within this tempered warmth they've built with one another and left having a passionate romp for another day (or the morning FDKJLSA), he wants her to hear it every day. ]
I love you, Ayaka.
