[That fondness in his eyes and the soft sound of his laugh make her heart skip a beat and then some, her love for him only growing in the moment.]
Like I'd want to.
[It's said quietly against his lips before he seizes hers again. And sure, it's playful and passionate, every move they both make after that driven by lust as the vines wrap around her and pin her down for him, but there is something loving in the way she watches him and kisses him and says his name. Reverent. A flame that, even after all this time, has never once died out or even so much as flickered.
Her Ice King. Her brave, bold wolf. Her everything that she is willing to give herself up to so that they may show each other again and again the things they feel for each other.
She wishes that she could stay wrapped up like this for longer. That they didn't have to return to their lives back in Reverein for just a little while longer. They have a couple of nights up here, but honestly... as she lies here basking in this heat that they share between them, she wishes that they could just escape. Take a week or two and pretend that they are the only two people in this world, far away from their problems, from their day to day lives.
This is but a glimpse of what she wants, but she'll take it regardless.
It's a good thing too, because they never once leave the confines of their room or the pool for the remainder of their first day and night there. Room service is brought in, and they share their dinner in bed before going out to the pools again, and then he keeps her up well into the night, making good on that promise to never let her out of his sights.
Something that she will gladly oblige.
And she can't remember the last time she's slept this well since those nightmares had swept in after Orkili.
Guess the orphanage visit would have to wait until morning, and it does. After grabbing some coffees, off they go, Tifa walking just a bit crooked from the very long night before but looking as refreshed as ever in spite of that, as they make their way down from the resort to the other side of the town. She's given Eustace the bag of canned goods to carry while she balances a bag of stuffed animals and toys on each shoulder.
As they come up to the doors, she stops to look up at it.]
Looks a lot better than it did the last time we were here.
✨ another timeskip to orphanage ✨
