Prompt # 7: Drunk (Yeah, I'm totally not doing these in order. Dx)
Summary: "The two of them had a routine. He would hand her the wine, they would chat for a bit while he waited for her to get appropriately intoxicated, and then the sweet talking would begin."
Spoilers: Nope.
Rating: PG for Cross. :D
Cross was always trying to get her drunk, and that was only one of the many reason Cloud desisted him. Besides the fact that he always lusting after everything that slightly resembled a girl (She'd heard that when he first met Kanda, Cross has even tried to seduce the teenage boy), besides the fact that he was a idiotic, lazy, drunken buffoon, he also seemed to hold the mistaken belief that as soon as Cloud was drunk, Cross would have full access to the inside of her pants.
Ridiculous.
She tolerated letting him try to seduce her. It was probably because she just thought it was amusing to see him trying and failing over and over again. He would hand her the wine, they would chat for a bit while he waited for her to get appropriately intoxicated, and then the sweet talking would begin.
"You have gorgeous eyes."
"I was thinking about you all day."
And sometimes he would hit on something that was actually an issue to her, and Cloud would stiffen, and consider handing him the wine and leaving the room.
"You know, those scars don't make you any less beautiful."
When he saw that it was a touchy subject for her, he would delve into it more and more, because that's what that lecherous man did best. Finding ways to endear girls to him. He would tell her that she was still the most beautiful girl in the Order, and if he was particularly drunk that night, he would venture to say that no, she was the prettiest girl in the world.
Sometimes she yelled at him for saying such stupid untrue nonsense. Sometimes she worried that he was really talking about someone else. Sometimes she was flattered. Sometimes, but only rarely, she considered kissing him.
But that was probably just because of the wine.
