had a lot going on. shinra's no joke. you know that.
[ and he was right, but -- thinking of what to do sans any real thrills or adrenaline inducing activity was... shockingly hard. all there was to do here was--
well, you know. ]
smoked egg or the casino.
whatever'll make you less stupid. how's that?

...She's not hard to get along with. Puts up with a lot, really. [ not that marina was something to put up with, but you know -- gremlin energy at all. ] ...Might be good for her to meet someone like y--
[ and then suddenly, he loses balance, practically catapulting towards. marina, naturally, comes down with him -- DESPITE HER BEING THE ROOT OF THIS INCIDENT, he takes care to wrap his arms around her so they wind up rolling against the ground together.
blinking, as if still trying to process it: ]
Marina! The hell is wrong with you?

[ "as long as you're with me--" plays in his mind, rewinding in cycles, heat dappling along his cheeks. one of cloud's hands shoves itself into daan's panties, stroking up his cock in easy, gentle movements.
he draws him into a kiss -- melts into him, heat brimming with affection, slow and steady like the sunset. ]
Want you. [ he mutters in between breathes. ] All the time. So bad I can't take it.

Want you. [ he mutters in between breathes. ] All the time. So bad I can't take it.
[The kiss is just too sweet, slow and drawing him in. Daan whines into his mouth, his hips rolling toward Cloud's hand so carefully stroking him. It's such a sudden stark difference to all of the bruising laid out onto his skin, but Daan is drawn so much more to this affection. It makes his heart ache and yearning for more, whatever Cloud will give him.]
Cloud. [He gasps his name against his lips, pressing his ass back to grind against the other's clothed cock.] Want you too. Think about you so fucking much.
[So much that it, sometimes, still scares him. How he honestly didn't think he'd come around to want someone like this again.]

[So much that it, sometimes, still scares him. How he honestly didn't think he'd come around to want someone like this again.]
[ cloud's hips pivot forward, and he savors the friction, and the push and pull of their bodies; his breathing grows heavier, intermingled with heady desire, and he kisses down daan's neck fervently.
daan thinks about him, he says -- thinks about him often. the words sear into his mind, and he nearly stops, overcome by the realization. a hand grips daan by the mouth, coaxing his face towards cloud so that their gazes are boring into each other. ]
Daan. [ his cock smears against daan's ass through the fabric of his clothing, rutting up against him all the while. ] I'm not letting you go.

It's not all that bad. I could take or leave the paperwork but the rest of it? Had I known I had what it took when I was your age I probably would've changed lanes much sooner. Then again if I did, I might have never met you and I'd be poorer for it.
[ Not to mention it keeps any unneeded expense reports off the desks of the higher ups and subsequently keeps them from dragging him into their office for an earful, but given how things've been going in Midgar recently he wouldn't be surprised if they took advantage of his, ahem, antics to twist them around in their favor. Whatever though, right? It's not Roche's circus nor are they his monkeys. ]
If you don't want to lose me I'd say the egg, or else you might have to come to my rescue if someone tries to kidnap me again. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with it but seeing as I'd rather spend time with you...

[ it's not a question he expects -- not one he's ever expected in spite of the fact that he's fantasized about it since childhood, in spite of the fact that he's always wanted this.
his heart stops in his throat. he looks to her, the blues of his eyes roiling, and the world around them slows -- just as it had that first night he saw her, draped in emerald. he blinks, silently, as the bustle of the restaurant fades into obscurity, the people around them an afterthought and nothing more.
and then without hesitation, the entirety of his body leans forward -- and his hand curls around her shoulder, feeling out tendon and muscle beneath the pads of his fingers, before he slots his lips against hers.
they're soft. just as soft as he'd imagined. no, better. cloud melts into her, the wick of a candle flickering in the dark. his grip does not relinquish; he's barely been given anything, and yet he finds himself chasing more, selfishly, greedily, as if this wasn't enough.
but it would do for now. his skin is alight, head trapped in between the throes of ecstasy and the haze of unreality. it's good. it's bad. it's everything he's ever wanted and more. ]
You don't have to ask. [ is all he says by the end. ]

[On a pure physical level, everything feels good, just as he wants. The dull aches on his skin, feeling Cloud's hand touching his cock, grinding against him back. What gets him is when it's more like this -- emotional, weighing on his heart, and he's forced to gaze at Cloud and meet his intense eyes.
I'm not letting you go.
Daan whines against his hand, his brows knitting. It's so overwhelming, and he knows he's in deep -- it's going to only get deeper and deeper. His fingers curl against the wall, and he pushes harder against Cloud, trying to show how much he wants him. Needs him.]

[ The way he freezes, staring at her like she's got six heads, she worries she's some how messed this up again. Her hand tweaks slightly under his, face barely starting to twist.
And then a tiny startled gasp escapes her, swallowed by his mouth on hers. The hand on her shoulder feels huge and warm, and even as she presses back against his mouth, she wishes she knew how to ask for more.
He pulls back, and she doesn't want him to go, but she's still warm all over, smiling dazedly back at him as she squeezes his thigh. This was more than she ever thought-- she shouldn't feel disappointed, or worried.
But how do I know what's okay if I don't ask? It's a problem for another time. She doesn't want to spoil this. ]
You either, okay?
[ She reaches out very gingerly, brushing a little of his hair. It's stiff with whatever he's put in it, and somehow that reminds her it's Cloud, the awkward, sweet, earnest boy she's known forever. Her smile softens, and in another moment she's wrapped her arms around him, nestling into his shoulder even with the awkwardness of the booth and the table. ]
I'm so glad you're here.
[ The casino. This date. Her life. ]

[ cloud’s fingers deftly pump daan’s cock, hips snapping against him; in a haphazard motion, a hand wrenches his pants and briefs down, cock unfurling amidst the cool air. there are people— staring down, at the edge of the hallway. he sees them out of the corner of his vision, but it does little to deter him.
on the contrary, he lets his cock smear against daan’s ass, hand moving all the more vigorously. it’s slick beneath his finger tips, the friction warming his palm, and he yanks daan into another kiss. cloud moans into his mouth, each breath caught on the cusp of a grunt, and flicks his tongue against daan’s greedily. ]
You know they’re watching, right? [ he mutters into his ear. ] Gonna let ‘em know whose you are?

[The hot prodding of Cloud's dick makes Daan shudder for a moment; he wants it, in whatever way it'll be given to him. He opens his mouth, as if to devour the moans and give his own, tongue seeking out Cloud's urgently.
Yes. They're watching. He can practically feel their eyes, but his focus is placed entirely on Cloud. And there is some manner of comfort in knowing how well Daan is protected by him right now.
Daan leans in, gently using his teeth to tug at Cloud's lower lip.] Be easier if you make me scream your name, wouldn't it?

Oh you saw that guy with us huh
he's fine
we have him handled
[inspiring such confidence!]
you know WHY we would get married?
we say anything to you?
Daan is making fun of us like we'd just WANT to
As if.
[All Cloud would have really known is they were worried about being caught with their new "friend" and getting in trouble, but they weren't on the marriage idea at that point in the night,]

that sounds like bullshit but ok
[ he cannot type fast enough, daan is sitting out there wondering where the hell he went. ]
nope
whatever's between you is for you to deal with
you and your
situation
[ once again: least qualified person to talk about this, considering where he is at this exact moment. ]
if you want a serious answer
i think the assholes at this resort matchmake for the hell of it sometimes
daan and i got married too
we're divorced now but that doesn't matter

Goro is definitely my situation
[wait, that's really possessive sounding, huh. She takes no claim of him, husband or not!!]
a situation
[way to save it, Marina]
Wasn't the hotel
They gave real rings!
Look at ours
[She sends a picture of hers on her hand.
It's a little twisty tie from a loaf of bread, the end curled into a little heart. Marina isn't taking it off because it's cute to her. Shh.]
you and Daan are married in spirit

pretty sure that's just what marriage is
[ she did NOT save it, he's got you figured out now.
the ring is cute. he'll give them that. ]
still got it on huh
doesn't seem like you're unhappy about this

you've really got no issue being one of their dogs? being a SOLDIER comes with a leash and collar.
you talk like a geezer
i'm not a kid you know
how old are you even?
[ there's a dull throb of pain addling his brain, but he's electing to ignore it. right. this is what he knew of SOLDIER -- this is why he left... more notably, he's flustering again -- the heel of his foot drums against the floor. ]
someone tried to what
[ hold up a second. ]

[Oh, Marina immediately presumes he's talking about himself with that "puts up with" comment so she'd take no offense,]
Eep! [An eloquent response to the situation she caused.
Cloud might take her with him falling, but at least he catches her! What a gentleman, and a klutz! Marina is disoriented for a moment before giving him a little bop-bop of her fists gently to his chest beneath her,]
Me? What was that!? You're the one who went rolling over a little stumble!

Even if I wanted to rip the leash from their hands, where would I go? I'd rather live with a leash than have to be forced into a life of obscurity. That, my dear, would be a surefire way to ensure I wither away like a flower trying to grow within Midgar.
[ He's no fool — people don't just quit SOLDIER on a whim and even if they did, he knows the company would keep tabs on him for the rest of his natural life. Roche hums to himself and lets the thought cross his mind twice, then shakes it away. No point in dwelling on what-ifs, right? He's not in Midgar. ]
Geezer? And you're asking me how old I am? Honestly 😝
Tried to kidnap me. I simply refused their "offer" and they let me be, that's all.

[ “tease,” he nearly says, stifled by the heady, overwhelming pang of desire that nearly wracks his body. he swallows him into another kiss, as if trying to rise up to the challenge, a groan lost in between their tongues.
he jerks him off in drawn out strokes, a thumb rubbing at the tip of his cock every time his hand maneuvers up. a hand grips at one of his ass cheeks before striking it harshly. ]
Maybe if you ask nice enough.
[ there’s a glint of a mischief in his eyes, a kind of arrogance sharpening the edges around his words. it’s all desire. ]

[Once their lips meet again in a kiss, Daan lets himself moan openly, barely stifled by Cloud's mouth. He makes a desperate whine when they part, his hips bucking into the hand stroking him.
The harsh strike to his ass earns a cry, his back arching, trying to press up against Cloud more. Briefly, he's almost forgotten about the people at the end of the hallway, but a brief glance toward them makes the reality sink in. His face burns, both bashful and utterly consumed by how badly he wants the other man.]
Fuck-- please. Please, Cloud. [Daan reaches back, hooking his finger into a part of his panties before he's spreading himself open by gripping one cheek of his ass.]
Please.

[ there's an animalistic impulse, a need to drive into him -- relentlessly, brutally, claiming him as his own. his hand falls away from his cock, reaching for a spare packet of lube tucked away in his pocket. you know, normal sex resort things.
he's quick to coat his fingers in it, the cooling sensation cutting through the heat pricking at his skin. a palm fans over daan's groin again, taking him back into his hand as he press a finger into him entrance simultaneously. for every stroke of his cock, he pumps a finger forward and out, a constant push and pull intended to send daan teetering on the edge. ]
Want me so bad, [ his teeth are nipping at the shell of his ear as he speaks. ] you're givin' yourself to me just like that, huh? For everyone to see as they walk by?

[There's the satisfying sensation of the finger pressing inside. It's not enough, of course. It won't be until Cloud's cock is splitting him open and fucking him in front of everyone, but it tides him over only just; his tongue starts to feel heavy in his mouth, and finds himself trying to chase after the hands tending to him. The one on his cock, stroking him; the one getting him ready, opening him up.
Daan shudders at the teeth against his ear, and he peers back over his shoulder with a heated gaze. When he speaks, his voice is breathy, needy.]
They... should know. Should know how good you make me feel. [Biting his lip, he tries to push himself back onto Cloud's finger more urgently, practically begging for more.]
Want them to know. [Even if it's making him blush fiercely.]

you serious? guts and glory matter more than your own freedom?
listen. i've seen the ugly side of shinra. the risk isn't worth it.
[ maybe, just maybe, it's a thought borne from genuine concern, even if he would be hard pressed to admit it. shinra betrayed him -- stole his life away from him. even if the details are lost in the fog of his mind, the feeling is real; he knows that much. ]
not my fault you talk like you've got grandkids
okay so let's maybe not go to the place that tried to kidnap you
how much cash have you got to burn?

They should know, [ smooth, agile motions, each one growing more vigorous then the last; back and forth, back and forth, a steady and unyielding rhythm forms as he pushes in out of him, smoothing down his cock from top to bottom. ] so they can't take you from me. So they know who you belong to.
[ there's an ugly part of his brain -- the one that thinks "your wife couldn't have made you feel like this, could she? never saw this side of you -- never saw you this consumed with desire." he knows better than to say it aloud. it's cruel, a hideous and horribly jealous thing, but he thinks it no less.
all he can do is fuck him harder in response. two fingers, then three, teeth dragging across the nape of his neck. ]
...I'll make sure you don't forget me.
