He just needs a little encouragement. A little teasing and pushing can't hurt.
[Maybe it'd even help. Once upon a time he'd have been relentless in doing just that, but then..]
We met when we were teenagers, and were friends, I think, until my death. The man he was then is not the man he is now, and it's unwise to pursue it too closely. He deserves a life as he is, without being haunted by a past he won't enjoy.
[Which is putting it MILDLY, after the things Shinra had done.]
But I'm afraid to say he hadn't exactly had a lot of romance beforehand either! So that's one similarity. He just.. wasn't interested. Women and men would certainly throw themselves at him, but none of them ever caught his interest. Shinra would arrange 'dates' to look good for photo ops, but that's about it.
[He hums thoughtfully.]
I guess it's why I'm so thrilled he's interested in Cloud. First person he's ever been keen on romantically, I think.
