[Rufus had started this mostly to mess with Cloud and get him flustered but he can't deny he's actually enjoying this, especially the moment when Cloud doesn't seem to pick up on Rufus's attempt to flirt with him and that small gasp.
Something he will also not let Cloud forget.
When Cloud pulls him around, Rufus's laugh is genuine as he allows Cloud to spin him with a flourish as dramatic as possible since these are the last few moments when they had met as strangers.
This is a moment when he will have to trust Cloud not to drop him but there is no hesitation to take Cloud's hand once more.]
