β€œJust a bit up the road. Think we can make it.” His arms slip around to her back, his comment slowly becoming less true as he watches her. β€œβ€¦Unless we can’t.” He teases, his head leaning to rest faintly against her arm.

Once she pulls away, a breath escapes him. With a light shrug of his shoulders, his hands pull her closer by her waist. β€œGotta be less professional around you.” A joke, his hands tense against her frame. β€œβ€¦Stay with me tonight.”
Dia smiled into the kiss, her hands moving up to hold his face. Moving closer into his space as her eyes close. She lets it linger, pulling back after a few seconds to let the buzz settle. "Took you long enough."

A quieted laugh on his lips as he’s pulled, watching as he eyes drift lower. Her words coax a more devious smirk, leaning in a bit closer. β€œMaybe.” He closes the gap, pressing his lips to hers. It’s gentle, at first, slowly easing into it.

He remained unreadable, aside from the grin on his lips. β€œYeah? That so?” That stroked his ego, letting his gaze linger on hers just a bit longer. β€œβ€¦Think you’re pretty too, Queen Bee. Appreciate your company tonight.”
She just looked up at him, eyes flashing with... Something. The intoxicated girl clutched his arm a little tighter. "Hey...Red. You're pretty."

β€œBetween us, he had it coming.” He chuckled happily, holding onto her as he watches how wonderfully she lit up from the prank. β€œI’m surprised it was as easy as it was.”
"You're terribleβ€” I can't believe you stuck that to his BACK-" snorting, losing herself in floods of laughter, holding onto him as she almost trips over her heels.

He’s right at her side, making sure she’s staying mostly stable while she walks. Cant help that he’s laughing too. Not the best party, but with company like her? Absolutely could have been worse. β€œDid you see his face?”

β€œPick you up a bit later then? Make sure you’ve got a costume.” He offered a wink and a wave as headed off. He’d definitely get words, very pointed and angry ones, but a night with her? …Worth it.
Feeling her cheeks go pink. "Sure. Yeah. Absolutely. I'd love to." Them being seen together...Tseng would surely chew Reno out for this.

β€œThat’s the plan, unless you’ve got a better idea?” He shakes his head. β€œβ€¦May get a word or two from some, but I don’t care. They’ll say stuff regardless. What and who I spend my time with is my prerogative. We get free drinks, free food, we can leave.”

There’s a party at Shinra for employees and their family’s and dates. Was going to get drunk tonight, but if you aren’t working… You feeling up to partying with a bunch of soldiers scientists? It’s…not much more fun than it sounds, but, free drinks and food.

β€œA second date, huh?” A light chuckle escaped him, not pushing it further. With a faint shrug of his shoulders, he knew he could wait. β€œGuess I can wait till then. Think our game is about over, then. Though, I do owe you one more, if you want it. If not, thenβ€”β€œ He finishesβ€”

β€”the rest of his drink and sets the glass on the table. β€œβ€”maybe we move to something more interesting than questions.”

A smirk tugged at his lips, faintly nodding in agreement. To most, that was as foolish as it was dangerous. β€œWillingly, don’t forget. Really wanted that rush, huh?” He took another sip, his brow raising in slight shock but more curious than anything. β€œI’m assuming he doesn’tβ€”
"Followed a Turk back to his shady safehouse alone?" She giggled. "Maybe the time I robbed Corneo. That probably takes the top spot." Dia took another drink, letting the liquid take away her inhibitions

β€”know. You’d be either dead or worse. How’d you do it?”

Taking his glass, he leaned back into the corner of the couch. Resting his hand on his thigh, he rests the other arm along the back of the couch. His eyes rested on her, bringing the glass to his lips. β€œSince you enjoy risks and danger, what’s the most dangerous thing you’veβ€”
Swiftly scooping the glass up, and looking through the crystal, before taking a swig. "Mm.... This is nice." She smiled, leaning back against the cushions and over at her companion. "I believe it was your turn in our little game."

β€”done? Dangerous by your standards.” And he takes a drink, resting the glass, again, on his thigh.

As she walks past him, his attention turns to the kitchen. Did he have any drinks? β€œAs long as we’re sober on the job, they don’t care. At least, they haven’t said as much.” If they did, he wouldn’t know. The few times he did drink he was usually out and sober by the time heβ€”
"Well don't I feel special?" She giggles, moving past him to perch on the edge of the couch, stretching her arms after a long, tiring day. "You guys keep any drinks in here? Or is Shinra demanding sobriety?"

β€”was back at the building. Luckily there was something, a bottle of lemon vodka, one that Rude particularly liked on the rare occasion he drank with him. Grabbing two glasses, his only glasses, he took the bottle by the neck and headed to join her on the couch. β€œCompliments ofβ€”

β€”Rude and his suggestion of β€œJust drink at home”.” Settling on the couch, he popped open the bottle and set the glasses down. Filling her glass first, he slid it to her and then his.
