[ One can only hope that they never have to cross a spell that turns him into a worm to test that theory... Getting shrunk down to miniature size was problematic enough. That's not to say anything about getting transformed into a frog. But would a Maiden's Kiss reverse the effects? ]
Sure. My phone or yours?
[ Both? Prop one up and set the timer so they can get a full body shot? Cloud's already loosening his hold of her so that he can go grab his phone off the bed. ]
I'd like it to be on my phone, please. If it's alright with you, I'll have our photo printed out so we can have it in a frame at home.
[ Oh gosh, she's getting excited just thinking about it. u///u Ayato would be so surprised, too! Look at them, so formalβ like they're getting married! Only without the veil and all that. Hehehe...
She does move to get her phone from her bag though, fiddling with it to switch the camera to selfie mode. Even after a year or so of being here, and she's still rather slow when it comes to the device. Though it does look like she isn't aware that they can put it away from them and have a timer on, because she holds the phone over to him. ]
[ Before, Cloud would have thought he was more keen on the idea of having his photo taken. Photo ops for certain missions and touting the great SOLDIER name was all in good publicity, right? ...So much for that notion. Even before he regained his memories of Nibelheim and what he truly accomplished, he'd become more shy in front of cameras. But with Ayaka, it almost comes too naturally for him as he stops reaching for his phone.
He crosses his arms and waits for Ayaka to finish fussing with her phone. Nope. Not that. Oops, back to the Home Screen. ...There. Aaand she gets it into selfie mode. Cloud wasn't going to call himself some tech wizard either, but he can't help smiling at how quickly the Shirasagi Himegimi's caught on. From what she's taught him, this level of technology wasn't commonplace in Inazuma. Part of him wondered if this was even something the world of Teyvat was privy to at all... But that's not a pressing matter right now when the two were intent on preserving this memory in another way. ]
Oh. Got it.
[ Well, at least for stability purposes, Cloud learned that taking photos worked by clicking one of the volume buttons. So he slides in by her side, wrapping an arm around her upper back with his hand on her shoulder as he takes her phone with the other.
They don't tend to take selfies very often, if ever, but...there's still a gentle glow of blush on her beau's cheeks as he holds the camera up at a higher angle. Though, for a second or two, Cloud is distracted by the image in the phone. Of them. This outfit, and how he matches up with Ayaka after all... ]
So this is what you see, huh...
[ There's a fondness on the end of his words, blinking before clears his throat and gets ready to take the shot. ]
Just gonna take a few. [ So, no need to prepare with 3, 2, 1, cheese! Just smile!
[ The two of them don't take photos all that often, and Ayaka is rather excited for this! When Cloud lifts his arm to slot them into the photo together, she sees him looking at her for a bit before he presses the button on the screen.
Click!
Ayaka's looking at him... Ah, what a photo! She wasn't even looking at the camera!
Click!
She's smiling now, but she isn't looking at the camera, still. Ayaka seems to have come up with an idea!
Click!
She's got a hand on his shoulder as she seems? to be a bit taller in the photo.
Click!
Chu. ♥ She made it! A kiss on the cheek, a cute little gesture immortalised by this photo. ]
Did you get it?
[ She sounds so proud of herself!! Hopefully it was a success!! ]
[ Of course he's none the wiser. But that's just one of many reasons that he found her to be full of surprises. More of them that surface the longer they spend time together. Without fully saying it or thinking it, he really did open that cage for her in ways she's never had the chance to before... And he's here to witness it all. The way she spreads her magnificent wings and soars, punctuated by a kiss on the cheek that gets Cloud's eyes to innocently widen, lips parted with a breathless gasp.
Immortalized. Preserved. Just another piece of their own eternity that would stay with him for as long as they both had something to say about it. He stammers at first before rubbing the back of his neck, still keeping his hold of her as he brings the phone in so they can review the shots. ]
That last one?
[ One kiss. He'd been giving her a far more intimate and heatedly promising one before. But it's that pure peck that sends his heart into a tizzy, and time coming to a screeching halt. She was powerful. So damn powerful that she had this much of a hold on him, leaving his heart to hammer so wildly in his chest as he draws it in between them to have a better look. He's holding the phone in his hand while the other's around her shoulders, so...
It's up to her to zoom in. He gently huffs, half-smiling despite the fluster in his cheeks. No apologies needed here. He's not embarrassed. ]
Definitely know how to catch me in the act...
[ The two of them both. He's getting all of these printed. ]
Edited (don't forget code tho) Date: 2024-03-31 05:19 am (UTC)
[ Cloud gets to hear the sound of Ayaka's giggles one after the other. She's so proud of herself! And with him showing her her work, scrolling past each photo they took and ending on the one with him on the receiving end of her surprise kiss. It takes a couple of seconds for her to look at it, marveling at just how cute her beau looks.
Though she should probably apologise to him for surprising him like that... Hopefully it's not too embarrassing? It's just the two of them! And if she does get this printed, then she won't put it in any of the common areas in the house. ]
I didn't plan on doing it! I just thought of it right before taking the photo.
[ It all worked out in the end, she thinks. But she does have to make it up to him for surprising him like that... so another kiss, maybe? Would that be enough of an apology? She tries, getting up on the tips of her toes, one hand bringing his wrist down so he can do away with his phone for now. ]
[ Frankly, if Ayaka did decide to frame this somewhere in the house where anyone could see, Cloud would need a little time to adjust to that. ...Might go over a little smoother if he doesn't get teased over it. Which means that the dream of displaying their love and affection in the common areas was becoming more and more of a pipedream. In actuality, he couldn't be too embarrassed after all this time they've spent together. They've even worked their way up to publicly holding hands together. Leaning against his arm, preserving the rest of their day side by side wherever they may sit on one of their walks... ]
Think I like this one the best anyway.
[ He's going to keep all of them. It's her phone, but he's decided that she's not allowed to delete any of their takes. Despite the heat in his cheeks, Cloud looks down to Ayaka just in time for her to get on her tippy toes and bring his wrist down as their lips meet. He's the taller one of the two of them, but he's not so big that she won't have to stress for long as he leans in and down for her to comply. Another kiss that elicits a tingling feeling that shoots straight to his brain.
Kisses with Ayaka always melt him, excite him and spark life in him as the hand on his phone starts feeling weak. As if it wasn't what he wanted to hold anymore... So blindly, he with his eyes closed and pressing into her 'apology' kiss further with a soft sigh, Cloud decides to cast caution to the wind and just toss the phone. In the direction of the bed close by. Which, thankfully, it lands on without any weird or unceremonious bounces that'd cause it to fall off.
With that hand free, Ayaka gets it all for herself, splayed squarely on the small of her back as he turns to give her his frontal, undivided attention. ]
[ There's no need now for him to look at the phone. They can look again later and see how cute Cloud is. Just Cloud! For now, after successfully commemorating their matching outfits, Ayaka is back to kissing her beau, continuing their Valentine's day celebration.
With Cloud's other hand now being free, it means he can put his hands on her without any distractions in the way. Ayaka's hands both find their way to perch on Cloud's shoulders as she puts some of her weight on him. Like this, she knows she's safe and secure with no chance of falling over as she kisses him, soft and gentle ones at first before her hands grow braver, feeling her beau's chest up through the thick layers he has on.
Is that something Cloud can even feel? Ayaka certainly finds it a little different. ]
I know I said I am not only attracted to you because of how you look, but. . . seeing you in this makes me feel... warm.
[ How do you tell someone is sexy without telling them someone is sexy... ]
[ The bed was so inviting to bring her over to already, if only so he could perch his petite girlfriend in his lap as her hands make their purchase upon his shoulders. She's so light to him, but the added weight she places on him as venture boldly. That's all the incentive he needs to ensure Ayaka that what she was feeling and seeing was perfectly fine. Debasing their relationship to just looks was something he never wanted. It's not what made him fall in love with her in the first place, but that wasn't going to stop him from giving her all the attention she deserved on a physical level.
His chest flexes a little beneath her touch, even amidst the thick layers he wears... He can feel her, just a little. But it's the promise of those hands on him directly that sparks the excitement deep in the pit of his stomach all over again. It makes him bolder in turn when she asks him if it's okay to feel this way. To feel warm.
Such an eloquent way of putting the fact that you're so turned on, Kamisato Ayaka... ]
So long as you're okay with knowing you drive me crazy wearing this.
[ It's beautiful on her. But even more beautiful to unravel as he squeezes her ass more assertively. Comparative to his own full garb, her material feels...lighter. Not as many layers. Oh if only he knew what he made her endure just to come here and get to this point... ]
In those novels we've read before... the characters would talk like this, too.
[ Is this what they call talking dirty? Goodness, Ayaka! Who knew you could talk like this...
(this isn't dirty talk at all)
But now though, Ayaka's hands drift lower, fingers already itching to get his clothes off him. She doesn't even bother with his haori, going straight for his obi to loosen it. ]
Are you curious about what's underneath, Cloud?
[ She looks up at him, not at all looking like she made a mistake. Yeah, the haori has to get slipped off first, so her hands make way to his arms, rubbing those biceps for a good few seconds before she slips her thumb underneath the edges of his jacket to push them back and start slipping them down. ] Hehe... it seems I am a bit too eager.
[ She wasn't wrong. But he's already read some material before that was far more...explicit. He didn't think he took pages from their books in the way he's talked to her, but Cloud absolutely had the filthier mouth between the two of them. ...Not gonna lie, the thought's crossed his mind of what it would take to get Ayaka to be a little bolder with her own choice of words.
(in other words, if she already gets him hard as diamonds...than cutting him down with real dirty talk from such sweet lips... π¦)
Cloud only draws back just enough for her to get full access to his obi. He knows the order is wrong; he's practiced dressing himself up and down for her in less elaborate attires in the past. But this was something unique to him, something that he would cherish and adorn any time she liked...and even when she didn't ask it of him. But for now, it also means that he can't keep caressing her as intimately as he means to.
Tut tut, Cloud. It's Valentine's Day. You can't bend the rules too hard now. She's the one taking care of you. ]
What's underneath...? [ His muscles tense appreciatively beneath her slender touch before rolling up beneath the edges of his jacket. Giving a shrug of his shoulders, he stops touching her momentarily to allow her this pleasure. Another layer shed away from the hammering of his heart, his mouth already feeling dry without the taste of her on him. But they have all the time in the world. In their own little world, tucked away from anything and everything that could disturb them. She had her beau in any and every conceivable way she could want him.
He was pliable. Putty. Shapeable for her and an open canvas for her to paint her wildest fantasies upon tonight. Only this painting wouldn't stand idle for her when she wants those strong hands of his back on her. Patience is a virtue, even when his body rolls with a familiar wave of heat as he mulls over her words for another fleeting moment until his breath catches silently. ] Had another surprise waiting for me?
[ He swallows, imagination already running a mile a minute with his gaze appreciative, roaming as he drinks her in, slotted so invitingly close to him as he allows himself to be stripped down just enough for her. Later, he may or may not apologize for not realizing that his change of plans to the end of Valentine's Day had her...braving so little underneath an otherwise beautiful kimono. Whoops.
[ It's such a simple task, yet there is something so meaningful about being the one to peel off Cloud's layers of clothes for him. The month of love, the night they met again after avoiding each other out of fear that they might change the path of where their friendship was going... It was like this, too. The night they watched falling stars and made wishes, the night where they were so honest with one another even if they fumbled with their words, it was like this, too. And as Ayaka proceeds to remove piece by piece of his ensemble, she thinks of those moments.
She really loves doing this for him. It will never become a chore, nor will it ever grow old. ]
There is a reason why I did not wish to come here tonight, Cloud.
[ Because of this surprise... She's going to be stuck with what she's wearing underneath until they buy a new set of underwear, you know. . . He is such a silly beau. And for that, Ayaka pouts at him for a second or two. Can you feel it, Cloud? >:T How embarrassing this is for her, but she does it anyway for you?
Last layer of her present to him... She needs you to shrug the rest of now, Cloud. ]
