[ Squall's been doing it the hard way since coming here. Machina can do it he believes in him. Or will stare as he lands on his ass whichever comes first. ]
[Even not being a l'Cie anymore, Machina's fiendishly strong. Have you seen those honking blades he dual wields? So hefting himself onto the roof isn't hard, just the more difficult way to go when he'd gotten used to powering up and wooshing no problem.
Once he's on the roof, he plunks down beside Squall and immediately clams up, because what is being socially normal?]
[ Squall sits up from his lazing position, giving Machina a curious look. He couldn't tell if Machina seemed more panicked or something else, but he looked like he was physically alright which eased one of Squall's worries. ]
[Is there anyone who doesn't know by now? Especially after he and Sheena blurted it out over the amulets. And then he's been starting to pack up his stuff, spending more nights over with his bride-to-be, etc etc.
It's still seven weeks out, but trying to be prepared here...]
Yeah... It's gonna be interesting that's for sure.
[ he gives Machina a soft smile. Back when either of them first arrived no one would have suspected they would find someone to soften their icy hearts, but look at them both now... ]
[Both of 'em have grown a lot. And to be fair, Sora had a huge part in it, though Machina won't ever own as much to the sunshine boy. But these two get each other in ways that most everyone else doesn't.
Machina lets out a long breath and fleetingly gets lost in his head thinking about the coming change, it's a good thing, but kind of scary too.]
Yeah, it is. Hope I don't screw it up. [His track record of Bad Life Decisions and Lack of Impulse Control makes that a real possibility.] I want everything to be perfect for Sheena.
Machina, if she's stuck around for you this long after everything that's happened, I think it's pretty assured that she likes you for your good and your stupid.
[ Squall tilts his head a little and gives Machina a faint look of amusement. ]
[All that time he spends thinking and overthinking things, and yet that prospect hadn't occurred to him.]
It's weird, too. Back home, a lot of the cadets would talk about getting married while they could [before the war could cut their lives short] and here I am doing the same thing.
I think that's just normal for people. No matter how moody or strange they might be, the thought of finding someone who just makes you feel whole and spending so much time with them... it's just natural, right?
[After giving that some long and drawn out, serious thought, Machina nods his agreement. Dumb guy still overthinks everything, but it does sound reasonable.]
Guess it is.
[Another light jab in the side for Squall, however, and a grin from Machina.]
[Suddenly Machina's worried he's gone and really botched something somehow. Sheena's taking care of the ladies in the whole event and he's trying to pick friends he trusts for his half.]
You... seriously want me? To be a part of your wedding I mean...?
[ Feel that sudden chill in the air, Machina? It's not a bad thing, he can assure you. Because now the two of them were getting flurried upon with bright pink snowflakes. ]
Machina holds out a hand to catch some of it and vaguely smiles. His first date with Sheena was snow sledding. However, Squall is never gonna get to live this one down. Ha ha hahahaha.]

Damn. Sorry, Squall. I'll try to catch you later? It's important.
[Serious as a heart attack, this one.]
voice
And here I thought you could read me better than that.
voice
...jerk.
[He loves you, bro. But we both know Machina can only dish it, he can't take it.]
So okay, where are you?

Alright..?
