strife-cloud:

He could practically feel his breath stop right then and there, the air hitching in his chest. Once again, Cloud was at a loss for words. He stands there dumbly for long moments, not reacting while Bartz stumbles over his words. It would seem that Cloud would never move again— but the next few moments, he was striding to close the distance between them.

Cloud grabs the other’s hand firmly and tugs him flush against his chest. His expression was pained as if he’s trying to hold everything he was feeling in his chest. He stares at the wanderer’s eyes for a moment and finally he crushes their lips together as his reply. He needn’t say anything more.

The kiss was welcomed greedily, that constriction in his chest finally pulling out of him in a sigh, the wanderer’s lungs opening like a pair of wings. Bartz felt warm and comfortable against the other, happy that he could finally breathe… happy that wasn’t denied. Deja vu hit him, and he remembered the first time he told Cloud he had a crush on him, worried that the delivery boy may refuse him without a chance.

Although commitment was frightening, it didn’t have to happen now. For now, Bartz just wanted that promise, that maybe someday he could have Cloud at his side. The youth was already free enough to spread his wings, and his love was more than willing to follow him where ever the traveler may go. It seemed that if Bartz should be tied to someone, it should be someone with the ability to keep up.

Parting from the kiss after several heavy moments, it seems that the two were still magnetically close to one another. Letting out a deep sigh, they kept their hands together, the melody of the ocean outside lulling them into a calm. With warmth still pulling through him, Bartz allowed himself to smile, glancing up to Cloud with warmth on his features.

“Let’s go,” the male announced, fearing that they may never leave at this rate. If only to uphold that promise, the warrior of light was ready to fight… and he was ready to win.

“Hello.”

Bartz glances up to the man, studying him quietly.

“Hey yourself! I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before. Kinda tall and dark, aren’t ya?”

strife-cloud:

Confusion sinks into the blond’s features, eyebrows furrowing in confliction. Why would Bartz even think this way? Wasn’t there enough things for him to fight for? And even if there was a chance that Bartz may die, it wasn’t as if Cloud would just sit back and allow that to happen. Not again. Not ever.

“……What are you talking about?” he finally manages to speak out, having found his voice. “You got plenty of things to come back to.” his hand gestures around them.

The pain in Cloud’s stare surprised the brunet, who didn’t think these words would hit him so hard. The desperate questions let Bartz know that the delivery boy was much more sensitive than he initially let on, the wanderer noting that he should be more careful with what he told the other.

“No, just like…” How did he word this? That constricting in his chest grew tighter, his breathing more sporadic with every passing moment. The silence was making his thoughts grow louder, and to quiet them, the young man knew that he had to speak what was flooding his mind.

“Maybe we could… get married,” Bartz could feel his cheeks grow red from the embarrassment of proposing so suddenly to the blond. In frustration and loss for words, the boy began to ramble. “I-I mean, that’s something to look forward to, r-right? I-I mean, I’ve just— we just—”

He was at a complete loss for words.

Lightning flailed helplessly as Bartz took hold of her nubbly little arms, laughing all the while.

“I. Am. Not. Cute. Kupo!” she protested angrily.

After a moment of chuckling at the little creature, the youth finally let her go, tilting his head with a bright smile.

“So how’d you get like this, anyway?” It seemed that Bartz didn’t find it too disastrous, as Lightning was still herself… despite her unfortunate form, anyway.
