[ Her eyes widen, lips parting as she stares first at their hands and then his face. She'd known this was a date, but it wasn't really until that moment that it clicked that...maybe...he wanted her, in a way that was different from how they'd been.
That night flashes in her mind, long since tucked away, and she remembers how much she ached for him to touch her. Somehow his hand on hers is more shocking than anything she'd imagined. And much more grounding.
His words shake her from her surprise, features softening into something too soft as heat creeps onto her cheeks, but she doesn't mind. She squeezes his leg beneath her hand, just...happy.
And impressed when he raises a glass. Is that rude? Should she think more highly of him when she cares so much about him. It doesn't matter right now. She lifts her glass too, tipping it to clink lightly against his. ]
We sure have made it a long way, hmm? To us.
[ She pulls her glass back to sip. It's nice champagne, nicer than she's ever been able to afford except sampling for the bar. Maybe...maybe being here wasn't so bad. For now.
Her heart thuds wildly as she sips, Nami's advice about men and dating echoing in her mind. They're stupid. You have to tell them what you want, or they won't figure it out. Just ask. ]

Cloud...Would it be okay if I kissed you?
