[It was really easy to be caught up in this moment and think of nothing else about how Gokudera was showing him such a soft and vulnerable side. He knew that Gokudera was rough and tumble, a brash speaker, and a little fire cracker. But it was moments like these when he was able to relax and let go is when he felt he knew Gokudera the best. And he was happy to be the person that Gokudera could open himself up to.

When he was pulled a little closer, that prompted him to go just a bit further. His hands moved to Hayato's back and pulled him in even more, nearly embracing him. He hadn't noticed their physique difference quite like this before. Now they were almost flush against each other, only leaving space for Makoto to hunch down so that he could kiss him properly.]

[It would have been hard for Gokudera to miss their differences being the shorter one ... though ... pressing against Makoto like this, feeling his firm muscled body under his clothing which Gokudera had only seen glances of before turning away in embarrassment ...

He should be thinking of the food, thinking of Mukuro or Zero walking in at any time, thinking of anything else, but the only thing on his mind was Makoto's hands on him holding him so close, his lips pressed against Gokudera's, and, well - he couldn't help himself, hands grasping tight to the back of Makoto's shirt, Gokudera bucked his hips against Makoto's.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[When Makoto felt that motion of Gokudera's hips, he could feel the heat rising to...his everywhere. His heart gave a solid thud and while apart of his brain wanted to pull him out of reality and deeper into what they were doing, the other part knew that they should reign this in before they went too far.

Makoto decided now was a good time to come up for air.]

Hayato...

[He looked down at the other for a moment, a pink blush right on his cheeks.]

We...we should check on the food.

[Even though a part of him just wanted to get back to kissing.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[Hayato whined softly when Makoto pulled his lips away. He wanted to keep going, cheeks flushed, eyes dark, and with their closeness his interest was more than slightly apparent. His hands clenched and unclenched at the back of Makoto's shirt while his brain tried to process the words that came out of Makoto's mouth, like a cat kneading at a blanket. Makoto's mouth - he couldn't stop looking at it, words, words, something about food...?

Gokudera's eyes widened, suddenly alert.]

FUCK, THE FOOD'S GONNA BURN!

[He let go of Makoto all of a sudden to grab the food off the range just as little bits of smoke began to come off of it.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[It was a good thing they stopped when they did or there was going to be more than their hormones set ablaze.

He took a step back to get out of Gokudera and the hot food's way.]

Are you okay? Do you need me to help with that?

[He was already heading to the stove to turn it off.]

From:

somanyfeelings

I got it if you can get the stove!

[Gokudera quickly grabs a plate, transfers the food to it, then turns the cold water on and shoves the pan under it. You'd think the boy had experience with this or something. While one side is a little darker than strictly necessary, the food was saved from being pure carbon.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[After Makoto turned the stove off, he went to help take the plates to the table as Gokudera cooled off the pan.

Oh well, food was food. A little burn meant that it definitely wasn't going to kill you from being underdone.]

Do you want me to get the drinks?

From:

somanyfeelings

That'd be great, there should be some cold stuff in the fridge. Crap, I hope I didn't fuck up this pan, I dunno how easy it is for Mukuro to make a new one... [For being 'off the grid' for electricity and running water ... the mansion seems to have more than enough of both. 'Illusionist' was probably putting Mukuro's powers lightly, especially when knowing they were an illusion did jack and shit for making them any less real.

To be honest, Gokudera tried not to think too hard about the extent of Mukuro's powers. They were a little too ... well, godlike, and it scared him. So he kept saying 'illusionist' and leaving it at that.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[Luckily Makoto had no idea what kind of power this was taking. Well, he had some idea and he didn't want to find out about it first hand. He felt like he'd be obliterated with a thought.

He went over to the fridge and pulled it open. He peered inside to see what they had available.]

Is iced tea okay with you?

[It sounded good to him!]

From:

somanyfeelings

Sure, cups are in that cabinet. [He pointed, then sighed. That was probably the best he was getting on the pan for now, the rest would have to soak first.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[Makoto got the drinks prepared and set them on the table with their food. One of them was going to learn how to cook or at least ask someone for take-out every time they spent the day with one another.]

All right. Everything's ready and on the table.

Did we kill the pan? Hahahaha...

[He only includes himself because it takes two to do the tongue tango and be completely distracted from cooking.]

From:

somanyfeelings

Not beyond repair, I think. I've killed pans before and that one didn't look quite dead yet. [He hopes. Gokudera lets it soak and joins Makoto at the table. It's funny, it's kind of obvious when he thinks of what they were doing before, because the color returns to his face again all at once.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[Makoto looks down at his meal and pokes at the blackened parts.]

We'll just say that it's really well done. Hahaha...

[He looks up at Gokudera and sees that his face has returned to a starting-to-become-normal shade of red. He has a feeling he knows what he's thinking of and the blush returns to his own cheeks.]

I really liked it...

[He shoves a forkful of food into his mouth before he can say anything more.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[Liked it. It.

Gokudera shoves food in his own mouth too so he doesn't risk saying something totally stupid before he has a chance to think. Though, when he swallows, all he can really think of in return is,]

... Me too. Sorry if I, um, got a little forward.

From:

thekillerwhale

[Makoto shook his head, then swallowed his bite of food, then promptly took another. He was hungrier than he thought. But then, being big, athletic, and a teenage boy, hunger was a normal state of being.

He swallowed again.]

It's okay. I know that...I...

want to do that again...

[His teenage hormones had needs, too.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[Gokudera paused as he took another drink of his iced tea, and in spite of the coldness of the drink, he really felt warm all over.]

... yeah? We, um, we could. If you're sure. [you know, no big deal or anything.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[He nodded in affirmation and continued on in his meal. To keep a conversation going, he remembered something else important. ~~other than smooching~~]

Ah...so...I found out that you and Rei don't like each other...

[A sour conversation, but they could sweeten things back up later. And it needed to be addressed.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[Ugh, Makoto, talk about a mood killer. Sexy swimmer or not you are getting a look from your boyfriend, like 'Really? Now?']

He's a douchebag. Whatever.

From:

thekillerwhale

[Yes. Now. It was important to him! Especially when both Gokudera and Rei were important to him.]

Ah...What happened?

[He didn't give any precursor as to what Rei said. He wanted to hear it all from Gokudera's point of view. Rei said he had asked politely, but though he trusted Rei, he didn't quite believe that.]

From:

somanyfeelings

Does it matter? He was an asshole, I avoid him, it's dealt with. [Gokudera really doesn't want to bring Makoto into it. As far as he's concerned, they can go on disliking each other and still have the same mutual friends. Gokudera does that with a lot of people back home!]

From:

thekillerwhale

[Makoto let out a sigh. Again, he was reminded of how he and Rei were pretty similar. It was even difficult to get Rei to talk about it.]

Okay...if you say so.

I'd just like to talk about either one of you without the other getting mad, is all.

You're both really passionate and kind people. You both just saw...the rougher sides of each other. If he saw what I see now, he'd have another opinion.

From:

somanyfeelings

I don't care what he thinks of me.

[The words have something of a bitter bite to them - Gokudera is used to not being liked on sight. So maybe Rei and his instant starting off on the wrong foot brought up unpleasant memories for him. Gokudera looks away, frowning slightly.]

He's not the one I'm dating.

From:

thekillerwhale

[He watched Gokudera's face and payed attention to the way he spoke and the tone that he used. He watched how he moved and Makoto's own face became sympathetic.

There was always a reason that people became the way they did through life. He knew that GOkudera didn't start off as a street-talking, smoking, hitman.

He just nodded and left it at that. He wasn't the kind of person that pried or poked and prodded.]

All right...

[He just continued eating his food which didn't take long for him to finish.]

[Gokudera wasn't going to open up without at least one of those. The fight didn't involve Makoto in any way, in his mind. It wasn't with him, and it wasn't about him, and with Rei also being his friend it would be unforgivable to 'put Makoto in the middle of it'.

He was used to being disliked, to having people he didn't get along with but he had to work in close quarters with. For him, it wasn't a problem.

Even so, his mood had noticeably turned darker. He finished the rest of his food in silence, unsure of what to say until he noticed Makoto was done as well.]

Here, I can clean up.

[He stood, already starting to get the plates.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[And now he felt terrible about bringing it up. He didn't like to see Gokudera in such a terrible mood. He stood up with Gokudera and helped him with the glasses.

He placed them into the sink and waited for Gokudera to do the same before taking the other's hand and holding it firmly. His face was determined, not unlike what Gokudera had seen when they first shared a real kiss.]

Hayato...

You are loyal, compassionate, diligent, and caring. I like to see you smile and get excited about things.

[His expression then became gentle again.]
I don't want to see you going into dark places in that smart head of yours, okay? I'm sorry that I brought that sort of thing up.

I guess I want him to see what I see in you so that I can show you off and show how proud I am to have someone like you by my side. It's selfish, isn't it? But I'm really happy to have you as my boyfriend.
