[ This is so silly. It's amazing Cloud still allowed her request to actually be reality when he's usually such a no-nonsense kind of guy around others. With her, she knows he's a lot nicer, but still...

It's why she laughs, offering Cloud a bit of an out to make things easier for him.

(Maybe she realised that this is also going to be difficult for her.) ]

Should we officially start our White Day after we freshen up, instead?

[ Still, she does do as she's told so that they can get to washing her face. ]

[ When they first met, he would have likely been far more abrasive to such an outlandish idea. In ways, Cloud even surprised himself with what he allowed Ayaka to get away with around him. Even if he would sigh in faux defeat of her along the way, here he was, indulging within her wishes. But...maybe it's because she's done the very same for him. Anything he ever could have wanted or asked, she's given him without complaint.

Including a possible out when she laughs and offers a brief reprieve to their initial solution.

...A reprieve he initially denies himself as he provides her with the cleanser as he applies it in her hand. ]

Nope. I committed. I gotta...

[ Although now that it's his turn for the cleanser, he realizes that one hand is held in his, super slippery and wet and they were going to have to find a way to dry the inside without breaking contact. How was she supposed to pump out cleanser for him when her free hand was loaded up and they were going to have to—

Okay yeah he sees her point. And if she's the one bringing it up...

Sorry, Yoimiya. Sounds like he's going to have to do a little bit of white lying; if anyone close to them asks that knows about this little 'rule' of theirs? ]

'Kay we're pretending we didn't start yet.

[ He didn't let go. From the moment she woke up!! :T ~~He lets go...~~ ]

[ Of course Cloud would get everything he wants and asks for. Ayaka even does her best to anticipate anything he might need and want, because there's nothing else that she wants but his happiness. She doesn't want him to ever feel inconvenienced, to have any worries beyond "what's for dinner".

So finally, when he concedes, because she does push for a reset on their White Day not just for herself but for him, she cannot help but laugh a little. There's a good beau.

Hand free, it is time to wash her face! ]

If you'd like, I could go back to bed and pretend to be asleep.

[ That way, they start the day off holding hands for real! ]
