Thought it's been a while since some pure Clorith smut so I thought, for the second last drabble(sobs!) I'd write some.

The soft voices of their friends could just be heard outside their tent but Cloud was not really paying attention. His head was lying in Aeris' lap, her fingers playing with his hair. Every time her hand touched him, he would feel his heart beat faster. He shifted slightly and closed his eyes in relaxation.

"You're being rather quiet," she whispered softly. He looked up at her.

"When am I ever loud?" he asked teasingly. She pulled a small face but smiled none the less. He closed his eyes again but frowned when he felt something press against his lips. He opened his eyes once again and looked down to see her holding a strawberry between her fingers.

"Where did you get those?" he asked, sitting up properly with a look of amazement. She shrugged and popped the fruit in her mouth. Cloud watched her carefully, unconsciously licking the corner of his lips. She raised an eyebrow teasingly before she spoke.

"You know, I think you told me that strawberries are your favourite," she said, picking another one out of the box and popping it in her mouth.

Cloud narrowed his eyes in mock-annoyance but his small smile let her know that he was kidding her. Seeing this she picked another one out and held it against his lips teasingly. Their eyes locked for a moment and Cloud's lips upturned a little before he parted them and Aeris pushed the fruit gently forward, pulling the stalk off as she did.

The sweet taste filled his mouth almost instantly and Cloud closed his eyes softly. Aeris giggled at the look on his face causing him to look at her again.

"You look as if you've not eaten in days going by the look on your face."

He smiled before he slowly leaned forward and pressed their lips together. The taste of strawberries was still lingering on her lips, making him press a little harder until she opened up beneath him. Her hands curled themselves in his hair, pulling him closer.

As they parted for air, she gazed up at him with a large grin. "If this is what makes you open up I'm going to get a whole bucket of strawberries," she teased. He just laughed and whispered.

"Maybe that's not such a bad idea."
