[After reading the words again, Aerith sighed and leaned forward to drop her head against the centre of Sephiroth's chest as if she could just go and hide away from it there.]

It means, I think, that in order to leave here we don't need to kiss or confess our love, we need to each tell an embarrassing story.

[Did Sephiroth even get embarrassed? Would they be trapped there forever??]

[silversoldier]

[ That much Sephiroth understood, it was the concept itself that bothered him since he basically had no shame. He was silent for a moment as he tried his best to understand but in the end: ]

I don't have any of those.

[ Maybe it didn't have to be his own though? Sephiroth had certainly caused other people enough discomfort in his lifetime, and even though he didn't usually understand or care he still grasped that he had done it. At least some of the time. Sephiroth pondered this as he cupped the back of Aerith's head, stroking her hair and keeping her close. ]

[ancientflower]

[Aerith, settled against Sephiroth's chest as she was, felt more safe and secure than she ever had in her life. The way he stroked her hair was relaxing. She closed her eyes and, for a moment, felt like they weren't even in the dumb cave but back home and away from the madness. But... that wasn't the case. And in order to get back home they were going to need to play the caves silly games.]

I doubt even making up something would work. I don't know how these things tell truth from lies but they always do. [She sighed.] You really don't? You've never tripped over your own feet or walked into a post? Never thought you recognised someone and waved only to find it wasn't them? Never fallen asleep and woken up to find you'd dropped asleep on a sandwich and now it was stuck to your cheek?

[Oddly specific that last one...]

[silversoldier]

[ Sephiroth listened to all of those examples and still couldn't understand. He genuinely wasn't ashamed of the things he did or said because he either didn't care what other people thought or was oblivious to how he came across.

But perhaps it didn't matter what he thought about it. Perhaps it was only in the remembering. With this in mind, he cast his net wider as he stroked Aerith's hair. When Sephiroth finally landed on that one specific memory which was now so dear to him, it was like seeing it in a whole new way. This new way of looking at it added depth to it, to them, and he liked that. ]

There is...something. [ A small, amused noise left him. ] I seem to recall a certain someone shoving snow down my pants. Does that count?

[ancientflower]

[There was a soft choked sound and then a cough, Aerith blushing scarlet when Sephiroth finally came up with his embarrassing moment.

A moment that she had caused!]

Uhh... well... I um... I suppose that could count... [She lifted her head and peered up at Sephiroth to see how he was reacting to that news, but found he looked... pleased, somehow? Aerith gave a small shake of her head and couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips.

Since they were talking about embarrassing moments...]

I remember what happened after, too. Didn't someone just... strip, right in front of poor, innocent eyes?

[silversoldier]

[ Sephiroth really couldn't let her get away with looking like that. But before he could move forward with any of the shady thoughts lurking in his mind, Aerith just had to confuse him. ]

They were wet.

[ Pause. ]

Are you suggesting that you are innocent?

[ He, of all people, knew better. ]

[ancientflower]

Are you suggesting I'm not?

[She huffed, puffing out her cheeks and managing to look offended. Until she started laughing.

In truth, at the time, she was a little more innocent to the ways of the world. Not wholly, but she had lead a sheltered life under the plate. Hadn't even really left the slums until Cloud and his friends allowed her to tag along on their adventure.]

If I'm not innocent it's because you corrupted me!

[silversoldier]

Hm. [ Sephiroth's hands on Aerith's waist were a little heavier. He stroked a thumb across her abdomen where he could reach. ] So you shoving snow down my pants was all my fault?

[ Contrary to what he said, Sephiroth's expression was...pleased. He was teasing Aerith, yes, but it all came down to further possession of her, even in jest. ]

What else shall I have you do, then?

[ancientflower]

[Her breath caught and her eyes half closed. She always had loved his hands on her. They were so strong, powerfully strong. And yet when they touched her they could be so very gentle. Gentle enough to make her stomach quiver at the soft touch of his thumbs.]

... Y-yes... it was your fault. How else could I win?

[There was a tremble to her voice and a new warmth to her cheeks.]

Whatever do you mean, Sephiroth?
