66... it's not what you think

Someone. Tell me you're cooking something. Brownies. Cupcakes. Something. Can't believe he's driving me nuts by the smell. Doesn't he notice..? Maybe sucking on a sugar cube will help. Damn.

Umm, I'm going to the kitchen to bake something.

[Tifa just shrugs, slipping her hands to Cloud's wrists and gives a tug and squeeze while Zack attempts to remove the fingers - TEAMWORK FTW; she'll leave the explanation up to the boys. Like heck she's going to say "Oh, I caught Cloud invading Zack's personal space by attacking his neck."]

[He does let go after a bit more tugging from the two of them. Deprived of his cookie-smelling friend, Cloud decides to lean against his other friend with a tired sigh.]

Just getting a better smell.

[Yes, he does sound a little like a child denied a sweet.]

[Clearing his throat and scratching the back... no, side of his head. To hide any marks. Zack intends to keep this stance until he can bolt out of the room and hide under his bed for a few days.]

Cloud isn't really himself right now?

...Um. Alright.

[No. No she doesn't get it. However she knows that's the best explanation she's going to get, so she'll have to live with it.] Well, at least the problem is solved...

...Right?

[to Zack] No...he's not.

[to Aerith] And I think so? A bit, at least.

[And this would be her looking at said man from the corner of her eyes and doing pretty darn good at keeping a non-red face.....still holding his wrists too whoops]

[Looking at Zack, Cloud sighs, again, shifts in Tifa's grip and rests his head on her shoulder.]

My head hurts.

[Leaving it at that, he seemed content enough to stay like that for now.]

[If Zack wasn't so painfully aware of the weirdness in the room, he'd find that adorable. That said, he took this chance to edge towards the door.]

If you think you can handle him, Tifa, I should probably, uh.

Well, clean up the mess on the floor, but.

[After another moment of stuttering, he suddenly went quiet, before bolting out the doorway past Aerith and down the hall, rapid footfalls leading to a doorslam.]

[And with Zack gone, and Cloud...being oddly un-Cloud-like, Aerith drew her attention to Tifa.]

...Well. That was...er. That was definitely something!

Yeah. [It was true and a part of her was rather relieved that Aerith hadn't walked in on the earlier scene] It definitely was. A real surprise too.

But, um.. [she lets one of Cloud's wrists go and puts her arm behind his back, hand to his shoulder] I'm going to go sit him down on the couch. I'll be back in in a few minutes to start cleaning up. [And, with that said, she goes to take Cloud to the living room]

[And he let's her, raising his only once to look at Aerith as they past her, and then going back to being a passive pile of Cloud-mush.]
