It's a little late, but better late than never:

I never sold anything but flowers back home! Literal, real, daisies and poppies and flowers!!

Back to forgetting that curse ever happened! At least I didn't get cuffed! I've had enough of that for any lifetime

So~! Who wants to go to lunch?

[ooc: ... OH HAY TODAY IS A CURSE. Aerith is, you know ( Read more... )

overdue aftermath, not a whore!, only a flower flower girl, curse day

Don't look that way, it wasn't...

It was uncomfortable.

[ooc; Of course. He's also giving her a 'jskdhfksjdfh. I'M SORRY?!' look, as much as he can manage. :3]

Oh, there's no need to explain anything to me. I only live here, that's all!

That's too bad.

[ooc: I didn't know if the strikes were gone or she could see them or whatever! If she can't, ignore hers as they no longer exist, as she had nothing to retort that to xD;. ... And she's giving him the "no, it doesn't mean anything to me, why should it? it's not like you and I are anything! I don't care!" act. ]

Aerith...

[ooc; They were just thoughts, but it works out! x) And cue uncomfortable silence. ]

...

[ Grumble and groan, man! XD ]

It's not what you think.

Tseng.

[.. A bit of a harumph ]

Oh? And what do I think? It was only a curse day. And it isn't any of my business.

You're right. But...

[ Stops, then goes over to grab her by the hand ]

I'll say this once, Aerith. Things have changed.

[ Loosens his hold a little ]

And so have I. That's all.

[ Lets her go, turning around, folding his arms. Oho~ he might just be pouting. XD Kinda in the 'WHY ME. WHY.' way. ]

[ Startled, she looks at him wide-eyed, trying but failing to glare ]

...

[ Nothing, not yet. She looks at his back, wanting so badly to be cross with him, because that's how it is with Tseng, she's supposed to be annoyed and he's supposed to be a jerk and-- things have changed. ]

[ In a small voice ] ... I know. I don't... really care. I mean-- I don't know why I care. It was just a stupid curse, and you're just--you.

[ Knows he has no right to be angry, and neither does she, really. Nothing happened and he ought to be thankful for that... it's not like anything could anyway. ]

If I'd have seen you handcuffed to another man... perhaps I may have reacted the same way as you.

[ Sighing, he turns to look at her, not angry, just... quiet. Embarrassed, perhaps. ]

I'm sorry. [ For what, he doesn't say. But outside of the effects of a curse, perhaps he wants to apologize for everything he's ever hurt her with. ]

[ Raises her eyebrows and cannot help but smile ]

I'd have been much worse~. I'd have made him take me too lunch and to the Xanadu, and held his hand and all sorts of things~.

[ Well, it's true. She wonders though--why it feels ... mean to say it. And, again, he takes her by surprise--that apology! It's a long time before she answers, looking at him searchingly, for once, for once, unsure of what to say. Her eyes narrow, but her once instinctive anger is watered down, soft. ]

I've already told you... You can't just apologize and expect it to be okay.

[ With that she smiles, closes the distance between them, and curls her fingers around the collar of his shirt to pull him down, where she has every intention of kissing him soundly on the mouth ]

[ It is mean and he knows she's saying it to spite him, but somehow, he doesn't mind. And when she draws him close, his instinctive response is to bring his hands down to her waist, and move his face in close, though before she can continue, he whispers ]

I don't want things to be 'okay' anymore.

I want them to be right.

[ At that, he draws his hand up to her cheek, tilting his face to a side, and drawing her in for a kiss, making it soft, but still sweet. Yes, he still has feelings for Elena, they're feelings he knows will not be leaving for a long time, but there's the fact that he won't ever ruin what she has now.

And as much as he'd like to deny it, he knows he's beginning to feel for Aerith in a way he would normally ignore. He breaks the kiss for a while, looking at her closely, before smirking a little ]

We're not handcuffed, but I know a nice place for a private lunch.

[ He's teasing, it's obvious, and he smiles a bit ]

Unless you'd rather have nosy princesses peeking in on you?

[ Right. For things to be right? For Tseng to say it? It's hard for her to understand, when things were always 'okay'--when she strove to make right, but nothing ever allowed it.

She laughs, her smile coy and tone equally teasing. ]

A private lunch, hm~? I think my schedule may be free enough for that... I could do without a princess, but, are you sure you can?
