[ In some ways, Zack really didn't expect Aerith to be this bold. In other ways, it makes total sense. Either way, he's sort of relieved this conversation is happening over text, so she doesn't get to see him flustered. ]
If we're going to be that frisky, maybe we should have some kind of code for Cloud. Like putting something on the doorknob, maybe.
( it's much, much easier to be bold over text--gratefully, he can't see her, he can't know if she fumbles or worries or retypes something over and over, deletes and then types again, and it's easy to sound carefree over text, right? )
Is that how it works~?
We don't have to, you know. Especially if it'll make Cloud feel funny. But I did learn some things.
Well, if it's going to be with anyone, of course it's going to be you. Are you ready for that, though? I don't want to rush you just because we'll be under the same roof. So no pressure, honestly.
Oh, I don't feel any pressure, it's okay. And I'm more than ready. It's more...
Well, I guess it sounds silly. I think about you like that a lot, but I don't know if you think about me like that, or...are interested like that. Silly?
I mean, it'd be kinda weird if I wanted you to be my girlfriend and my Bonded and didn't feel some kind of attraction to you, right?
I just don't want to be a creep about it! No one likes that. I also figure we're allowed to do things at our own pace.
[ Their vows had been about no longer waiting unnecessarly, about seizing the moment, but that doesn't mean they need to rush everything. There's something to be said for savoring the moment, too.
Having Aerith at the cottage will make a big difference, though. It'll allow them to spend even more time together. ]
I don't think you could be a creep even if you tried.
But of course~ At your pace. There's no rush or anything.
( maybe she's just stuck, a little, in that mindset: if zack goes anywhere, he might actually go, again. it's a hard thing to shake off. little by little, though. )

We can feel things out. If it's something you want to try, why shouldn't we? But we don't have to force it either.
Learned things like what? Now you have me curious.

With me, I mean.

[ They've at least broached the subject, which means they both know the other is on board when the time comes. That's important! ]
