So it seems.
[For now, he leaves his hand in Cloud's, gently squeezing. Leaning over, Daan kisses his shoulder, then again to his throat. With his free hand, he draws his fingertips along Cloud's collarbone, tracing down his chest before resting his hand to his hip.]
Well. How patient are you feeling? [His fingers gently tug that skirt back so he can ghost some contact between Cloud's thighs.] Or should I just get to business?

So considerate.
[Lightly, he drags his teeth over Cloud's throat, tracing over his pulse before giving a harder nip to the collarbone. More firmly, Daan presses his palm against Cloud's crotch, rubbing at him.]
I could tease you, then. I wonder how long you'd last until you started begging? Or would that be too mean for you? [Daan smiles in that way that's just a bit too sharp, a cat debating on how to play with the cornered mouse.] Guess you're just gonna have to tell me.
[But first, Daan does kiss Cloud firmly on the lips, humming against him. Although his hand finally works his cock out from the panties, Daan's fingers are featherlight, as if to barely trace his length from base to tip with no real grip to it.]

[That's Marina for him, she's pure audacity. All five foot four of this girl. No need to drag her, though, she's practically skipping along at his side,]
Oh, the flooring here is best for carving! [Whoops, she hushes herself, hehee]
Higher up it's too well monitored, go down low and the naked concrete is just too tough. Being mid is just right.

[If nothing else, seeing Cloud blushing and watching how he breathes is pleasing to study. He continues his light, teasing touch, then pauses to just absently rub his index finger against the tip.
Daan chuckles, nipping at an earlobe before he murmurs into it.]
Spank bank. Is that what we're calling it?
Well. I have a very good memory -- so it is a distinct chance. Maybe I'll fuck myself open with my fingers while I'm thinking of you?

You're adorable when you're blushing so much.
[Teeth tug at his earlobe, a little harder. Fingers circle lightly around the head of his cock before idly brushing down to the base, as if it was an afterthought.]
Oh? How naughty. Tell me, what were you thinking about when you were doing that, Cloud? How did you imagine me?

[ Tifa, somehow, has less experience than he does. She hasn't processed that the time she's spent with Nami or Mitsuru could count as a date. But the social rules have been ingrained in her since childhood. It's why she fussed so badly about what to wear, and why she's being so careful with her words and how much they touch.
She does notice how much more nicely he's dressed, staring a little too long with her chest tightening. She's...attracted to him. She can admit that, in this context. But there's something else too. He didn't know how to do this in Midgar, she's pretty sure, but she doesn't know. That space between them feels wider than ever. Did she misjudge him? Or had he learned this here, where their precariously crossed paths were hurtling away from each other again?
She couldn't think like that. He'd wanted to do this with her. That was all that mattered. Right?
It's easier, once they're seated. She sees that soft look in his eye and it calms her. They're still the same kids they always were. Even if it feels like, somehow, she's going to do the wrong thing and break everything they've managed to piece back together.
She's thankful for his teasing; it pulls her back to the present. ]
That makes two of us.
[ She smiles, but her throat is too tight to find more words. She needs to, though, because she knows its harder for him, and he asked her, so she should help-- ]
O-oh. [ She's staring at him, to the flower, and back to him. For a moment, it feels like this can't possibly be real, that she has to be in the throes of another dream.
But her dreams are never this detailed, and the surprise twists into a grin wide enough she ducks her head, embarrassed by her own enthusiasm as she takes it. Her heart is going wild and she's trying not to hide her face in her hands. Cloud got her a gift. He dressed up. He asked her on a date. Did he-- Had he been thinking about her--? ]
It's beautiful. Thank you. [ No pockets of her own, she tucks it behind her ear. She lifts her hand, like she's going to squeeze his thigh take his hand or something, but it falters mid gesture. She recovers by curling it into a fist, bumping him lightly on the shoulder. ] You look really nice, you know.

Aw, flatterer.
[Daan knows that he likes it, and hardly takes offense, especially with him more or less in control right now. The smile stays, albeit becomes a bit more fond as he sees Cloud's fingers curl into his shirt. That's pretty damned cute.
There's a nuzzle to his temple before he kisses it.]
Sounds like someone's got it bad. How do you manage to keep it in your pants all day, huh? [Suddenly, Daan squeezes his hand more firmly around Cloud's cock at the base, giving him a firm stroke and rubbing his thumb around the crown. One more pump with his palm, then abruptly he goes back to those light touches.]

Hmm, I suppose so. After all, look at you now.
[There's a wicked smile on Daan's face, and he tilts his head as he hears the way Cloud's voice sounds as he says his name.]
What was that? [Daan presses his index finger and thumb around the tip, not quite pinching or pulling, but enough to make sure that his grip can be felt -- such as it is.] Can I help you with something?

Oh, of course it is. I think about you plenty, Cloud.
[At the plea, Daan's expression softens and he leans in, pressing his lips to Cloud's; he licks into his mouth, sighing contentedly. His hand wraps more securely around that cock, starting to stroke in earnest.
Reluctantly, he parts from that kiss, whispering against Cloud's lips:]
There's a good boy. Is that better?

Is that such a surprise?
[In the best and worst ways, Daan truly does. But ultimately, it's his own fault things have gotten so far like this, he should fix it sometime--
Though the way that whimper breaks out from Cloud spurs him on. Daan pulls his hand back only momentarily so he can lick his palm, making it slicker before he goes back to pumping that cock in his hand. The grip remains tighter than with all that teasing from before, and his other hand reaches for Cloud's again.]
How could I refuse you when you ask me so sweetly? [Daan kisses his jawline, then nibbles his neck, canines just scraping lightly.]

Silly of you.
[His hand gently squeezes Cloud's, leaning in to press himself against the other man as he's drawn in by the hand. Lips drag over Cloud's cheek, and he murmurs against him.]
I won't. Not until you're done.
Are you gonna come for me, like a good boy? [He smiles against him, his hand moving faster.] Let go, Cloud.

Good. Very good.
[It's a lovely sight, watching him become undone, gasping his name. Though Daan does try to catch as much as he can, but alas the poor corset. Daan will make sure to pay for it and a replacement proper.
He lets Cloud lean against him, idly taking the time to lick his hand clean with a not unfamiliar flavor. As he finishes off along his fingers, he pauses at the question. Daan lowers his gaze, closing his eye before he gives a little nod.]
Does that bother you?

[Another pause, but eventually Daan nods before he gives Cloud a little nudge, a little squeeze to his hand.]
I know. With you... I'm not worried about that.
[No, he has other things he is much more concerned about. This... whatever kind of bond they have going on, that's much more worrisome.]
In fact, you're very stubborn about making sure I'm treated right.

Can't blame me for that considering our circumstances, can you?
[It's probably a cheap answer, he realizes. But he doesn't want to bring up everything else weighing on his mind; it seems so unfair to do it now, in a moment on vulnerability for Cloud.]
You're really quite protective, aren't you? ...But thank you. I'm... still not used to that, really.
[It means more than he is willing to say right now. How it makes him think a bit about Elise, and... why was that so different?]
