[If he's being completely honest with himself, which considering how crazy he is isn't often, he expected some sort of reaction. But not this one. Punching him, stabbing him, yelling at him ... those would all be expected.
Being grabbed and flipped to the ground? Not so much.
What comes immediately after? Not at all.
Which is probably what Cloud is going for. The biggest power move he could make in this instance. Sure the two of them have that undefined thing between them, but this level of dramatics is somehow both completely out there and completely normal for them all at the same time.
That's how their relationship is, a mixture of a lot of things that don't always make sense, yet do in their own weird way. Which is why this works as the perfect distraction and if Sephiroth were a computer this would be the moment where a sad face pops up along with a message about the PC needing to restart.
Were Cloud not currently pinning him down, he'd probably yank the younger man down closer. Instead, a few seconds after his brain finally registers what happened, he leans up into the kiss.]
i have the perfect icon for this, you're welcome
