[ Ed does tilt her face upward to receive the kiss, the heels of her feet leaving the ground as she raises herself just a little higher. They've kissed plenty of times before, so it wasn't particularly unnerving. Nice, even. There was always this tingly, soothing feeling she felt inside when he kissed her. She's really not sure why.
She was expecting him to keep going, maybe even anticipating it, but then he stops and makes his observations known. At the word 'attractive', Ed practically splutters, going tomato-red and letting out a very undignified -- ]
Haaah?! [ She truly didn't expect that, even if his feelings for her should have been obvious at this point. Ed just didn't expect it to be said out loud. Plus, it's a word she's never really attached to herself. With her rather tomboyish dress-sense (all shorts and dress-shirts for men), her crass and loud personality, and the bits of metal and imperfections all over her body, it just wasn't a compliment that anyone has ever given her (and that was always completely fine, because she didn't need to be 'attractive' in anyone's eyes, anyway).
Unsure of how to react, she stares at Cloud a little stunned, still looking completely undignified. Then, she gives a huff, resting her hands on her hips and looking a little petulant. It's not that she doesn't appreciate the compliment. She's just reacting the way she knows how. ]
And you're being a sap right now [ then, she mimics what he said earlier. ] believe it or not! So quit it, geez!
[ She lets him pick at her shirt, though. There's little protest made about that. ]
