[ nier’s grip on cloud’s hand tightens, just a little. and then bashfully — he turns his gaze away, pink tarnishing the paleness of his cheeks. ]
We could do a few things...I can make you dinner. Or we could spar. Or head to my room and rest together. Or...go on a date. [ it’s the first time he’s used that word in earnes. ] So long as it’s with you, I’m happy.
...Only Cloud raises his eyes, eventually- even if the sight of Nier's face ....and the blush on it, causes his gaze to drop down. Almost instantly. Likewise, his hand tightens.]
Lunch and dinner. Uh...
[Could he get fat? This sure seems a way to see. ...Probably not. But.]
It's okay. You've got things to do, right? So you shouldn't be running around after me.
[Sparring sounded good though. ...Problem was, so did the rest of it. Which... isn't really that helpful, huh.]
Katanas? [There's a note of curiosity in his voice. And it seems he's about to choose that, but-]

[ the words are fluid, rushing forth like a stream of water. natural, and always honest. he inches a little closer. ]
Did you have something in mind? [ said with a cant of the head. the curiosity really is innocuous despite what transpired 2 days ago. ]
no subject
His eyes drop- tellingly- at the implication behind said question- and they stay on the ground for a few seconds before he meets his gaze again.]
Don't know exactly. I just know I want to be with you for a while.
[Whatever that might entail. ...A few hours sleep, a few hours doing other stuff, or. well, more than that.]
