[ That definitely catches Cloud's attention. He peeks up from Zack's neck. He doesn't want to get his hopes up, but he can't really help it, especially considering how receptive Zack's been to his drunken affections so far. ]
[ Despite the way Cloud's broken away as he has, despite the way they're already almost nose to nose... Zack definitely. Definitely makes that the literal case, alcohol breath and all. Definitely leans in and bumps against him with an odd clumsiness usually not associated with him.
But it doesn't stop him from sticking near anyway, closing his eyes as he whispers. ]
I just might like you. Like... Like really like you.
[ Cloud flushes a little as he realises how close their faces are, but he doesn't pull away either. Instead he inches closer until their foreheads are touching. His body floods with warmth when Zack speaks. ]
You mean that? You're not just sayin' it 'cause you're drunk?
[ There is breathless hope and a touch of insecurity in his voice. ]
Mm.... It might be a little bit cause I'm drunk. [ He has to admit that much at least. Sure, he'd considered telling Cloud before, but.. Resting forehead to forehead like this... Zack exhales slowly. ]
But I guess.. I wasn't sure if you'd believe me. Cause it's you an' you overthink damn near everything and yer cute an' I really like your face, [ Maybe there's a drawl there. Maybe his Gongagan roots are really starting to show as he rambles a bit. ]
[ The drawl creeping into Zack's voice is fucking adorable, making him even more irresistible than usual. Cloud grasps Zack's face between his palms and leans in to press their lips together, murmuring against his mouth: ]
[ Probably for the best Cloud shuts him up while he's at it.
Because one moment, he's still talking, and then the next lips are on his.
Lips are on his.
He almost forgets to-
Okay, he might have forgotten to kiss back in his surprise at first. At least until he feels the puff of breath against his lips, hears those words. Then, his own hands come up to wrap around Cloud's neck in turn as he clumsily pushes forward.
It's probably not the most appealing or romantic kiss, but he sure is going for it. At some point, he ends up with a hand in Cloud's hair, stroking through it in excitement as he deepens said kiss. ]
[ For the briefest of moments, when Zack doesn't kiss back, Cloud worries he's overstepped in some way. Thankfully, his concerns are quickly quelled when Zack does in fact kiss back.
It doesn't matter that it's a clumsy kiss, the eagerness can be clearly felt and that is more than enough for Cloud to feel his heart hammer in his chest. He groans low and leans into the touches through his hair and the deepening of the kiss. It all feels so damn good. He's finally getting something he's wanted for longer than he'd probably admit. ]
