[ It still sounds like the first time every time— "I love you". And for all the days Weiss knew for herself that she loves him, not having told him yet, there were also many days when she'd wonder if he felt the same way. If he would love someone like her—a girl he met in another world, someone who wasn't meant for him in the first place. The feeling of happiness when she's told that she's loved by Cloud is immense. Contentment and fulfillment from having a "wish" come true. And because it did? She has to make sure that this granted wish is taken care of, that it never goes to waste. And more importantly, that he never grows tired of feeling that way. She doesn't think she could ever stop loving him, at this point. There's just no way she ever could.
Selfish as it was to just stand there in the kitchen, skin all tingly from Cloud's warmth, she wants to keep this moment going a little longer. Closing her eyes, she leans against him some. There's more work to be done, and they're far from the end. It wouldn't be so bad to indulge in these moments before they have to face reality, right? It's practice for the future! Because she refuses to accept any other future that doesn't have Cloud in it. One day, there won't be any worries about one leaving the other, completely disappearing or falling asleep without waking up for a day or so. ]
One day... [ She says the words under her breath, a silent vow she makes to herself and a reminder of what she has to do in this world. Weiss has grown to overthink— good at times, but other times, it tends to keep her up at night or distract her when she's alone. She feels more secure when friends or family are around, because she's given a reminder of what she has to protect. In this world, and at this time, though, her family isn't present. But Cloud is. Not family quite yet, and definitely more than a friend, but he's the one who holds her heart. The most important and irreplaceable person. And the only person in this world who doesn't make her feel alone.
It's not enough, but a minute or two later, she gives his fingers a gentle squeeze. As much as she would miss this, they should get moving before Elaine comes home. ]
