I don't?

[Just leans in closer with that mischievous smirk.]

Or...maybe I already know.

[starshower]

[She lifts a hand from his chest to caress his cheek, and then boop him on the nose.]

... Can you really blame me? Besides, like I said... you don't make it easy.

[A very pointed narrow of her eyes.]

If you'd quit staring at me like that...

[flamekthunder]

[He initially leans into her hand before she does that nose boop, his brows furrowing just at ouch before he grins and leans in closer.]

Staring at you like how?

[Said with his eyes intensely focused on hers like a wolf zeroing in on his rabbit.]

[starshower]

[She stares right back into his eyes, looking like the rabbit who had cornered herself.]

Like... you might be thinking about the same thing I am.

[Her hand shoves away some of those bubbles.]

That maybe we should finish our food before it gets cold.

[flamekthunder]

Maybe I'm just thinking how cute my little rabbit is.

[A smirk as he lets himself be pushed aside before picking up his coffee.]

[starshower]

Oh?

[She lets her eyes linger on him a little longer before she's picking up her tea, almost mirroring him with her own actions.]

Is the wolf feeling a little soft?

[flamekthunder]

And if I was?

[He's not.]

[starshower]

[...

...

She picks up her crepe quietly, dabs a bit of cream on her finger...

....

And smudges it on his cheek.]

You know, you don't have to pretend to be the hardened wolf with me. I won't judge you if you wanted to say yes.

[flamekthunder]

Perhaps it's more fun this way.

[Just a grin as he wipes the cream from his cheek and presses it back against her lips.]

Though... Not what I was thinking of.

[starshower]

Then?

[Tifa's eyes widen with surprise at the cool press of the cream on her lips, but she just lets her tongue flick out for a taste...

...

Yes. She's just going to leave it there, and flash him a smile.]

What is it?

[flamekthunder]

Hmm...

[Just a grin before he boops her nose with the remaining.]

Just that you're like a cute little rabbit trying to match a wolf.

[starshower]

Match?

[And she'll leave the cream on her nose, too, but her smile does grow wider.]

I think we're on pretty even ground, don't you? But there's one thing that you're forgetting about rabbits...

[flamekthunder]

What's that?

[starshower]

[She points to his crepe, and the rest of the spread in front of them before she pokes at her own.]

Finish your food and you'll find out.

[Now, is he going to be a good husband and help clean his wife's face off?]

[flamekthunder]

Hm... Fine.

[A light smile as he eyes her nose.

And then goes right back to his own crepe, leaving that spot of cream there.]

[starshower]

[She had been staring at him expectantly, waiting for him to pick up a napkin and wipe it away at the very least... if not attempt to draw out more of these silly red hearts from her by getting it off in... other ways.

So when he goes back to eating his crepe as if he didn't just smear whipped cream over her face?

Well, needless to say, she's mildly offended (not) and surprised, and stares at her loving husband for a few seconds before going back to her food.

Yup. She's going to leave that there as she eats quietly.

And reaches over to steal a piece of his crepe as payback.]

[flamekthunder]

[She can steal a piece, but he'll take some of her own in return, even swiping a piece just as she's about to take it herself. All with a smug little grin.

But, he will also freely hand over the pastries he's certain she'll like, all sweet and puffy.]

[starshower]

[And she will accept, pink and red hearts drifting his way as she tries one of those little pastries.

And oh no! She's got a little bit of sugar stuck to her lipgloss...

She'll shoot him another expectant look. He can't hold out for much longer, can he?]

[flamekthunder]

[She shoots him the look—

But he's actually focused on eating and misses it.]

[starshower]

[Unbelievable. This man is unbelievable!

Tifa jabs him in the arm to get his attention, and now she's just going to go right in for the kill.]

Well? Aren't you going to help?

[flamekthunder]

[Okay he wasn't expecting the jab and he actually frowns a little as he looks over at her.

...]

Do you need me to?

[starshower]

[Ah.

She flinches at that frown. She didn't think she hit him that hard?!?]

I... well...

[After a few beats, she lets her eyes drop to her mostly-finished crepe.]

... No.

[flamekthunder]

[He almost dropped the piece he had on his fork!!

But.

He's also only mostly pretending. So he'll continue to look at her with that frown before saying one word.]

Punishment.

[starshower]

For what!?

[She didn't do anything! He's the one who's been making all these hearts!!! Why is she the one being punished?

She takes a huge bite of her crepe, leaving just the last corner, pouting as she chews it.]

[flamekthunder]

[Another hard look...

...

Before it turns sly as he suddenly leans in close, a burst of red hearts filling the space behind them.]

Being needy.

[and with those hearts as cover, he'll close the distance to slowly lick the cream first from the top of her nose and then around her mouth before pulling away.]

You'll have to wait for the rest.
