ANYWAY SURE, HE IS BEING LEAD TO THE BARN AND CLIMBING UP THE LADDER. he is an expert at climbing up ladders while still having his giant sword, but that means there's a hilarious moment where he has to put the sword down next to him before sitting down in the loft.
ah, yes. just two men and one sword in a private space.
despite the earlier whatever it was cloud does not sit next to aventurine but across, looking... unsure. in a nervous way. i hate this place. it's week zero. ]
[ And now that they're together like this... anxiety creeps up on Aventurine. ]
I'm going to be very honest with you, I've never felt this way about anyone before.
[ He can do flings without a problem, but actual feelings? And he doesn't want to treat this like a fling, either. No, something about Cloud has him quite nervous and places an unsettling twist in the pit of his stomach. ]
But I really do like you. I was going to tell you yesterday, but...
[ this is a lot. he's got hands bunched up over his knees and he looks nervous as aventurine speaks, because i am in agony, and also i guess because he has feelings but has never dealt with talking about feelings for real in a way that ended Well ]
... I'm glad you told me when I could answer. [ well, he says that, but he has yet to actually. answer. and he still doesn't for some time. ] I... don't usually like people this fast.
[ sort of saying it, sort of not saying it, looking down at his hands ]
[ i just need to mention that according to the lore i set up either cloud is wearing a kigurumi right now or he goes and puts it on after this conversation, and i don't know what option is stupider
he doesn't move away, looking at their knees... touching knees... ]
... We've got time to get to know each other better.
[ is this smoother? it is slightly less embarrassing, sure. ]
[ Dokis intensify and we are here to suffer. Aventurine pauses for a moment, staring at their hands, before he turns his around so that they can properly hold hands.
And then he's looking back at Cloud, a soft glow to the myriad of colors in Aventurine's ringed gaze. ]
[ im glad they both have weird fucking eyes. cloud's blues just have a green glow. it's great. if i concentrate on that instead of what's happening i won't start biting people
He's looking down at their joined hands like he has never experienced human touch ]
... What else do you want me to do? [ he said, like an idiot ]
They're in too deep now, and Aventurine won't respond because he's too busy leaning all the way in, his eyes slipping shut while his hand pulls Cloud forward, to press their lips together.
But okay, they spend the rest of their time together kissing and cuddling and staring deeply into each other's eyes or whatever it is people in love do. Sometimes you love a man so much you do not immediately put out on night one.

It did come as a surprise to hear you felt the same. It must have been my charming personality.
[ ATTEMPTS JOKES... TO TRY AND LIGHTEN THIS ATMOSPHERE. ]
no subject
[ WAIT NO IT WAS A JOKE BUT IT CAME OFF TO MEAN ]
... That came out wrong.
no subject
That's okay. I don't mind.
[ Slides closer... until their knees are touching... ]
It's strange. I feel like I hardly know you at all, but I can't seem to care.

But we love the effort, Cloud, keep it up. Meanwhile, Aventurine casually drops a gloved hand on one of Cloud's knees since he's not running away. ]
We can start by asking each other questions.
no subject
wow ... looks at the hand on his knee... his own hand twitches... he huffs, though ]
Again? Is that your go-to answer to everything? [ teasing. ever so slightly bumping his shoulder against aventurine ]
no subject
Do you have a better idea for getting to know each other?
no subject
[ looks straight at the sun. me, not him. anyway, as he says this, he slowly... puts his hand... over aventurine's ]
no subject

Are you just going to hold my hand?

Unfortunately for us, Aventurine is here. He leans forward as his free hand comes up, fingers delicately curling around the back of Cloud's neck. ]
You could kiss me.
[ i might need another walk ]
no subject
cloud tilts his head a little, leaning forward just a touch-- but doesn't close the gap, because he is a little shit: ]
Too shy to do it yourself?
[ im going to use the term "breathed over his lips" and we are both going to never acknowledge this thread again after that ]
