[At first, he hesitates, as if he hadn't expected Aqua to agree. He's... glad she did. Glad he somehow got the nerve to even ask.
Lightly, he squeezes her hand, reaches up with his other to brush some of the hair from her face before cupping it. If he was less love-cookie-induced, he would worry about not knowing how exactly, worry about being awkward. For now, he strangely knows. There's not too terribly much to it:
Leaning in and lidding his eyes the closer he gets until he doesn't have to be concerned about missing. He kisses her to the sensation of electricity in his blood and a fire in his chest. The first is chaste, a peck, to the sound of light, sharp pops in the air. The second and the third are appropriately kisses without overstaying any welcome. Enough for it to happen and be meaningful without last until they're breathless.
Even though he's still quite breathless when he finally leans back.]
[ The seconds that pass between them seem to stretch all the more when he leans in; and despite nervousness, she feels it begin to fade when she herself does the same, tilting her head just enough for them to kiss properly. Despite not having done this before, it's... almost as though she already knows what to do.
He kisses her once - twice - three times, and her first thought is that Terra's lips are warm - rough, yet there's a gentleness to those kisses all the same. Her heart swells at each kiss, longing for more when he parts. ... Not, it's not just the kiss, is it? She... just wants him to be close.
She's never thought about being with anyone like this before. What's gotten into her? Is it because it's Terra? They've known each other all their lives. Maybe living in Verens together and being able to do so in peace has helped her to give thought to other things - despite what's waiting for them at home.
Whatever the reason is, it's a fleeting thought (thanks to the love potion, that is).
She's just as restless as he is, resting her forehead against his. It's only seconds before she speaks again. ]
... Terra, what does this mean? [ All of this happened so suddenly, but... she doesn't mind at all. ]
[Honestly, he finds he has no decisive, clear answer for Aqua's question. He feels terrible not being able to say something with certainty, yet... he's really not sure what this means or where this leaves the two of them.
Between them, he tucks their hands close and squeezes hers again gently. Maybe reassuringly--more for himself than for her.]
I'm... not sure. I'm okay with... whatever you want it to mean. [His eyes close, then open, then glance to the side. She can likely feel the heat from his cheeks.] I didn't mean... to make it complicated. Us.

It's not just you. ... But... I don't think it has to be complicated, either.
[ Maybe, but it feels like things between them are changing. But... it's not in a bad way. ]
