More Fluff. Cloud doesn't like candy corn... unless...

It was a windy October day. Aerith was laying against their bed, her back to the cushioning of the blankets. Cloud was bracing himself up on his elbow as he laid to Aerith's side.

"You don't like candy-corn?" Aerith flung another piece of sweet candy into her mouth as Cloud laid his head atop her stomach.

"It's too weird tasting…" he answered.

Aerith took out another piece of the candy and examined it; it was cast in three colors: a broad yellow bottom, a tapered orange center, and a pointed white top. She bit off the top white part of the candy corn; "How could you not like them, Cloud? They're so sweet." She nibbled off the orange center and added; "When was the last time you had one? You might like it now."

Cloud smiled against the soft cream-fabric covering her stomach. She always tried to get him to try something new, and just for her, Cloud would agree to try certain things at least just once. Aerith tossed the remaining bottom of the candy into her mouth as she felt Cloud's hands undo a few buttons on her cream sweater dress, exposing the flat valley of her stomach and belly-button.

Cloud placed a lingering kiss above her navel and breathed his answer against the softness of her skin; "I had one a long time ago."

Aerith felt Cloud place another kiss on her skin, causing her to giggle at his tender touch.

"Well, maybe you should try one again."

Cloud smiled against her stomach and turned his head to the side, resting against her steady breathing body. He was silent. Aerith could tell Cloud was avoiding trying the candy; she placed her hand on the back of his head, her fingers running through his sandy-colored spikes of hair.

"What if I feed it to you?"

Cloud turned his head until his lips were brushing against her skin; "I think I can do that."

Aerith smiled as she took out one piece of the Halloween candy and slowly brought it closer to Cloud's lips, just as the candy was close enough, Cloud opened his mouth to eat the sweet treat but it fumbled out of Aerith's grasp and rolled down her stomach until falling into the small grove of her navel. She tossed back her head and giggled at her own clumsiness; "Sorry," Cloud tried to fight the smile spreading on his face but couldn't. "It's okay,"

He kissed down Aerith's stomach until his lips were hovering above her navel. He opened his mouth over her belly button and kissed downward, taking the sweet treat into his mouth as he kissed her skin gently. Aerith felt the warmth of his mouth brush against her and closed her eyes to take in the tender feeling. After a second she felt his lips lift off of her, they both looked up at each other as Cloud chewed on the treat.

Aerith smiled, ""Well, how does it taste?"

Cloud gave a shy smile back to the brunette; "Tastes better off of you."
