We all masturbate, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's also something most prefer to keep private. But sometimes, people forget to knock while we're in the middle of things, and awkwardness ensues.

REACTIONS:
➊ EMBARRASSMENT Yeah, someone just caught you in a very private act and you kind of wish the ground would swallow you up. Now.
➋ ANGER How dare someone barge in on you without knocking! You'll give them a piece of your mind right now.
➌ EXCITEMENT/EXHIBITIONISM happens to be a major turn-on for you, so you'll just continue. Maybe even ask them to give you a hand, you never know...
➍ APATHY Big deal, it's not like they've been living in a bubble where they never knew masturbation existed, and if they were they had to find out about it sometime.
➎ SQUICK Either it was a family member who just walked in on you or you just feel so utterly dirty at having been caught doing something so personal.
➏ DELAYED reaction You didn't even notice they were there until after you finished.
➐ DERAILED REACTION Oh no you've been--what is that on their head? Wait, the world's ending now? D-did you just see that unicorn? Worry about being caught later, figure out what the hell is going on first.
➑ FRUSTRATION COME ON, EVERY TIME!
➒ RELIEF Thank GOODNESS someone came by! Otherwise you'd have had to stop and go grab that toy/pillow/remote for the annoying stereo yourself. Also they could maybe swap discs because this movie isn't really doing it for you. What do you mean it's inappropriate? It's not like you're asking them to watch.
[Dates or not, Cloud respects her too much to put her in that position - though, let's face it, he would enjoy it. She's a beautiful girl and, well, he's sure they could make it interesting -
No, no. Don't go there. The resounding throb in his groin, thanks to his thoughts, brings Cloud back to Earth...er...Gaia.]
I won't be long. [Especially not at this point. Before he goes, however, he drops a kiss on her cheek, grateful that she isn't running away.]
Make yourself comfortable. [Disappearing into the bathroom, he shuts the door firmly and sets about getting rid of his problem. It only takes a few more strokes before he moans and releases.]
Nn... [Gasping for breath, he licks his lips and begins to clean up. He even shrugs on a new pair of pants and a loose t-shirt. Now...
Oh Gaia. Now he has to face her again and act normal. Alright. He can do that.
Opening the bathroom door, he walks out and bites his lip.] Hey.
[Technically, Cloud wouldn't be putting her in any position. Aerith herself had offered, so surely that showed some kind of willingness on her behalf? Either way, she offered a smile to him as she received the kiss to her cheek, watching him make his way into the bathroom. Poor Cloud. She really did feel horrible for causing him so much embarrassment.
As soon as he disappeared behind the door, she sighed out quietly and took a seat on his bed. Oddly enough, Aerith thought it seemed more comfortable than her own, though it could have been her imagination. She scooted back onto the bed a little further and swung her legs up, shifting so that her back was resting against the headboard. She tried to ignore the soft moan that came from the bathroom and turned her attention to various spots around the room.
When the door finally opened and Cloud rejoined her, she offered another warm smile at him and patted the empty spot beside her on the bed for him to join her. Aerith had no intentions of making this too awkward for him.
[True enough - not that her reasoning would occur to him. The very idea of taking that step with her is far too...stimulating. He's afraid he really will lose control and then where would they be? Would she want to see him again? Or is he just dreaming?
Upon exiting the bathroom, he rubs a hand over the back of his neck and smiles a bit. So she decided to take over his bed, hm? Maybe there's hope after all.]
So...why can't you sleep? [He walks over to the bed and sits down beside her, trying to ignore how wonderful it would be to curl closer to her. Perhaps even curl around her. But no, he doesn't need to go down that road or he will need to relieve himself again.]
I'm not sure. Some nights, I just can't manage to make my mind slow down enough to let me sleep.
[After all, there was a lot going through her mind at any given time. If the situation she was in wasn't enough to do it, the voices she sometimes heard from Gaia itself would certainly do the trick. It was a wonder that any of the managed to sleep at all.
Cloud wouldn't have to worry about getting closer to Aerith himself because she took the initiative. She scooted just a little closer to him and leaned against his side, a pleasant smile on her lips. She glanced up at him after a moment, then tilted her head curiously.]
Mm. [Boy has he been there. His mind spins in circles sometimes and nothing he does can calm it. Usually those nights, he ends up wandering outside until his body is physically exhausted.]
You can visit me. [He whispers, glancing away awkwardly.] I'll keep my door open.
[She doesn't seem to mind what she saw, so... Not that he wants to repeat the incident, but... Glancing at her suddenly, his eyes widen when she nestles against him. Before he answers her question, he brushes their lips together, gently kissing her.]
[The whispered words made a small smile come to her lips. No, she didn't mind what she saw, really. It just made her feel a little bad that she had embarrassed him so badly. Even if he said he would keep his door oepn, she would make sure to not interrupt him again.
Not unless he wanted her to, that is!
Aerith had been ready to speak when she felt the brush of his lips against hers, causing her eyes to widen and cheeks to turn a soft pink color. Now that she hadn't exactly been prepared for! After all, Cloud was always a little shy with her. The smile only grew after the kiss, a hand reaching out to take hold of his gently.]
Well, if you ever have bad dreams, you can come see me, too. I'll try to chase them away for you.
[There's something about her that makes him feel braver. Of course there's the possibility she won't like being kissed, but he figures it's small. Besides, how can he not kiss her when she's right here?
A genuine and warm smile curls his lips - a mirror of her own smile - when they part. He squeezes her hand and shifts so their heads are touching.]
I think you could. [He blinks contentedly and pulls her hand to his chest, resting it over his heart.] Maybe I'll be the one visiting you.
[It had been a while since she had felt so comfortable around someone. Aerith was glad that her path had crossed with Cloud's, especially in moments like this. Her eyes fell closed as she felt his head rest against her own, the smile on her lips growing even wider. If she couldn't sleep, this was definitely the place she wanted to be.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked to her hand that he had pressed against his chest. Then she looked up to look at his face, eyes moving over the features lovingly.]
You're more than welcome to. I'll be sure to keep an extra pillow for you.
[In case he wanted to stay, that is. Aerith just assumed he would.]
[There are very few people Cloud can relax around. Aerith is one of them. Perhaps that's why he's so determined not to wreck what they have. It's too precious to him and after everything that has happened, it would crush him to lose it.
He catches her gaze and reaches up to touch her cheek, sliding his fingertips over her soft skin.]
Good idea. [Needless to say, he would be in danger of falling asleep next to her.] Would you be able to sleep next to me?
[She leaned her head toward his hand, closing her eyes for a moment as she felt his fingers against her skin. Somehow, it all seemed a little easier with Cloud there. She could probably ignore the voices of the world and the people who had been following her around so closely. It was moments like these that made it all worth while.
Aerith finally lifted her head and looked back up at him, a playful little smile forming on her lips.]
I don't know.
[She leaned in close to him, close enough that the tips of their noses touched.]
[Cloud is surprised into a laugh. His laughter is relatively quiet, but the way the happiness transforms his features is undeniable. He almost seems to glow. Then again that could be due to his pale hair and bright eyes. Regardless, Aerith is the only one - aside from Zack - that has really seen him like this.
That seems appropriate somehow.]
No. [At least not that he knows about. Mischief fills his eyes and he smirks:] Do you snore?
[Aerith moved back into her own space at his question and scoffed softly, as if she were offended by the very idea. Even though she was playing offended, she couldn't help but admire that look on his face. It was so rare to see those days...
It was the kind of look that made her want to do all she could to keep it there all of the time.]
Hmph. Of course I don't snore. But I think you might, really.
[Aerith was suddenly cut off as she began giggling, flinching away from his fingers. Yes, it seemed that Aerith was ticklish. Very ticklish, in fact. Quickly, she reached out to try and grab his hand, a bright smile formed on her lips.]
[Cloud smirks widely and manages to wrap her quite snugly in the blankets. Come on now. Maybe that was what he was planning on doing the entire time. The tickling was just...a nice detour?]
You wouldn't forgive me if you caught a cold. [He chuckles and kisses her forehead.] So what are the stakes, Miss Gainsborough?
[Aerith blinked a few times as the blanket was wrapped around her. Cloud was doing all sorts of surprising things that night! She smiled and leaned up to press her lips to his cheek before settling back into her own spot, leaned against him.]
I'm not sure. What would you want if you were right?
[Hey, Cloud can be pretty thoughtful when he isn't wearing a dress. Besides, all she is wearing is that nightgown and he knows his room can be chilly. It usually doesn't bother him, but that's probably thanks to his training.
He blinks and thinks about the question.]
Another date. [His voice lowers.] And maybe afterwards, we can... [His cheeks flush.] ...try what you suggested before. I'm not opposed to it.
[Her brows raised in surprise at his words. Here she had thought he had considered it completely silly! Either way, it made her blush a little bit. She laughed a little and nodded then, nudging his shoulder lightly with her own. It wasn't an unreasonable request by any means.]
Alright. And if I win...
[She hummed, glancing up toward the ceiling for a moment. What should she ask for? Oh...She knew exactly what she'd have him do.]

No, no. Don't go there. The resounding throb in his groin, thanks to his thoughts, brings Cloud back to Earth...er...Gaia.]

Is she ticklish? It would be nice to hear some laughter out of her too.
Skillfully, he gently pokes her sides, his eyes remaining fixed on her face.]

Maybe I do.
