[ When she laughs, he simply lets out a gentle sigh of contentment. Then she asks about the boxes he's carrying, and he blinks at the pile that almost reaches over his head. Mulling it over for about half a second, ]
No. They feel pretty light. [ That's only because YOU aren't a regular human anymore, Mr. Skyscraper Chopping SOLDIER boy. ] I'd be more worried about losing my balance if I carried the whole thiing...!
[ And that would be the sight of Cloud stumbling forward after getting the tip of his boot stuck in a little crack in the road. The boxes just about slide forward and out of his arms! Luckily, his reflexes are as sharp as the rest of him, and he rights the pile again as he regains his footing.
Phew. ]
.....
[ Can you give him another box or two to hide the blush on his face? Please? You didn't see that. ]
[ If it wasn't for how late it was getting and their arms full of chocolates and flowers, Cloud might have suggested a sit down at the café they frequent. Some other time whenever there wasn't much else to do anyway. Even if the blond's schedule was more open compared to hers. ...was a delivery business here practical? There's also the thought of joining the Moon Knights as well. Thoughts to mull over...
Twilight descends as Lunatia comes to life with city lights and other lamp lights illuminating their path back to her apartment complex. It's not that far now. ]
[ Not that far, for sure. And as the DNA Building gets more and more in sight, she figures she should just have the stuff put down in the lobby and she'll ask somebody else to bring them up.
Cloud is more than welcome in her apartment, but she knows if Ruby or Yang see him, they're going to start talking and that's not really something she wants right now. It's nothing against Cloud. ]
I think... I might just have you put everything down in the lobby. I'll bring everything up on my own.
[ She'll try to be secretive with the reason first, though. ]
[ When she suggests him to leave everything in the lobby for her to take up, he lifts a brow. Why make two or three trips when it can all get wrapped up in one? Ah well, he's not all that worried about her reason (or rather he's not thinking of the implications). But he'll still ask, ]
You sure? I don't mind.
[ She can do whatever she wants, he thinks if she insists. ]
[ Instead of saying anything in response to her lowkey hint,
A trace of a knowing smile crosses Cloud's lips as he passes her by. Neither of them had to say anything. Now he'll leave before Ruby and Yang catch wind. ]

Cloud laughs. It's short lived, but it's still a laugh. ]
So I'll still have some when I lose some?
no subject
[ This totally makes sense to her. ]
no subject
[ They'd both be too important to let get yoinked. ]
no subject
Are the boxes too heavy?
no subject
No. They feel pretty light. [ That's only because YOU aren't a regular human anymore, Mr. Skyscraper Chopping SOLDIER boy. ] I'd be more worried about losing my balance if I carried the whole thiing...!

But she does stop in her tracks a bit, wondering how to even react to that. ]
None of my chocolates should have a dent on them.
[ She's not serious, but ofc she's gonna do things her own way. ]
no subject
[ ...at least, that's what he'd use these for if he got free chocolates and other sweets without having to spend Chroma. ]
How's your pile?
no subject
Flowery? [ WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO SAY FSADLKHG ] I'm actually not sure what to do with these many flowers.
no subject
Give some of them away? That worked for me when I had too many.
no subject
[ Because it's late and she can't exactly start handing out flowers at this time. That'd be weird. ]
no subject
[ You're welcome. ]

[ Okay, maybe not secretive, after all. ]
no subject
[ 1...2..— ]
Oh. But... [ It's not...like...that(???) Best not argue it, Cloud. So he agrees as they stroll on into the lobby. Huh. It's quite nice. ] Gotcha.
no subject
[ Plus it's getting pretty late too, so!! ]
no subject
[ Because it's late!! Cloud gives the lobby a once over before bending over to set his tall pile down on one of the sofa's. ]
Here good? [ Couldn't take the delivery boy completely out of him, apparently. ]
no subject
[ She definitely appreciates the help. The company, too! ]
Wouldn't have gotten here without you.
[ Lowkey hinting the zipper incident. ]
