themognet | 01 -- Two Boys and a Bed -- Video

[A general Mognet post today because Lea and Isa need anyone who can help.

Lea points his camera at the mess of wood and metal that is going to be their bedframe.

Eventually.

He hopes. Currently it’s just a disaster with Isa sitting in the middle of it, fuming and sweaty. Their apartment, like so many, is powerless.]

So...anyone know how to read backwoods Wutaian? At least I think that’s what the directions are in...or was it something else, Isa?

I think that’s what it is.

[He squints at the directions before holding them up for Lea’s phone to capture.]

[And yeah, it’s some dialect of Wutaian that two boys from Kalm would never have learned to read. Lea sighs]

Never buy a bed from a backalley furniture store, guys. Even if it’s a great deal for a queen-sized bed.

[Yes. Two teenaged boys got one queen-sized bed. No, they don’t see a problem with this.]

Okay, you’ve asked. Turn that off and go change the laundry to the dryer already.

You nag, you know that?

I wasn’t nagging. Nagging would imply I asked you more than twice.

[He pauses.]

You’re not still filming this are you?

[Lea snorts]

I'm getting it, I'm getting...Nag

[It cuts off.]

[ eh? ]

Oh... I wasn't really talking about you but... That's good to know.

You already knew that!

[pause, and if this blush could just go away that would be good.]

... even if... it's for me here that's---

[If he'd just not said anything... But how couldn't he when that applied to him too? Which, well. Why wouldn't it!]

Still me.

[He's not pouting.]

Already knew you were and or are and adorable kid? Yeah. Yeah I did.

[ oh don't be fooled, Cloud. he knows full well what he's doing. ]

Zack!

... that's not---

[He's going to go hide in the mountains somewhere at this rate and never, ever come down. ~~This is not helping other problems he might have actually half-way acknowledged in Nibelheim.~~]

Not what I meant!

[He'd try to say more but he's getting pretty tripped up.]

[ ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BEAMING WITH SMILES OVER HERE. ]

... you're awful.

[Despite the attempt at continuing to scowl, there's a tiny smile threatening to escape. Hard not to, in the face of that smile. He's still angry, though!]

Awful precious you mean.

No.

Just awful. [There's that frown again, and a little huff, even if he's ducking his head too. He'd try to turn that 'precious' comment around somehow, but he doesn't have a clue right now.]

... also awfully loud, yapping all over the place.

Aww man. What an uncute expression. Please don't tell me you're taking lessons from bigger Strife?

No. [An eyeroll, but the uncute comment, no matter how much he knows Zack's joking still dusts his cheeks faintly pink.] ... not for that, anyway.

You're the one pulling out all of that... those things.

[Why? He was talking perfectly peaceably with Lea and Isa before you butted in, Zack!]

Is it really that embarrassing?

[Cloud opens his mouth, then closes it, looking away and finally shrugs.]

... better than snoring and sounding like something's broken, I guess. [But then he looks up and even if he's a bit flustered, there's a narrow accusation in the stare.]

But you didn't bring it up expecting no reaction.

[So yes, it's at least embarrassing enough!]

[ griiiiiin ]

Well... It's kinda fun watching you two, I gotta admit.

Thanks, Zack.

[Oh so wryly said, and while he ducks his head, of course, at least his hair is mostly obscuring the red tips of his ears. Why does he like you again? Either of 'you' really...]

Welcome, baby chickabo.

--- Zack!?

[Honestly, he can't decide whether to be offended or flustered. Baby chikabo, honestly? As if the regular chocobo jokes weren't enough.]

I'm not--- doesn't that get old?

[Settling on exasperated.]

Edited 2016-07-09 19:02 (UTC)

Nnnnnope. Never.

Great. [a mutter as Cloud rolls his eyes, trying not to pout.]

... at least I'm not alone, I guess... [another mumble, even if it's not much of a solace that he isn't alone in it.]

Stick out that lip a little more, Cloud. You can almost have a party on it.

[there's a slight pause as Cloud's frown deepens, and then he looks almost thoughtful.]

... if I can, it's not one you're invited to. [Said so very deadpan.]

Wow. Wow, Cloud... That's hurtful.

[... Okay that's a better response than he'd feared the moment after he said what he did, because after he did, Cloud realised what it might sound like and he hadn't... meant to imply kissing.]

You'll survive.

[He flicks a glance sideways at Zack, hoping he's not blushing. He really doesn't need to be thinking about this. Not here, now, or... anything.]

Besides... you're the one that started it.
