The way he turns draws a girlish laugh from her, and Aerith unwraps an arm so she can bring a gentle hand to his cheek, and guide his face back to look at her, color rising to her face while she smiles at him, perhaps more adoringly than she should.
"You could," she offers quietly, her thumb brushing across his cheek before she presses her lips against his again. "But, there are better things we could do, too." Which would be ludicrous to suggest any other time, because there is a lot of work to be done, and Aerith doesn't usually shy away from getting her hands dirty while fixing something up, be it the house or that little patch of garden she's made for herself in the North Yard.
"I mean if you really want to fix my house, and cook me dinner, and take a bath with me, that sounds like a pretty nice day too, but," Aerith trails off, looking over her shoulder at the fence behind him before she returns her attention to Balthier, her stupid heart skipping a stupid beat very stupidly. "If the neighbors don't mind."
