S-since Nagisa and Rei would be there, too.

[Now that he thought of it, that was a lot of teenage boy hormone under one roof. Maybe it was time to change the subject to something that was not potentially getting frisky. ]

When did you want to eat?

From:

somanyfeelings

Um-! [Right, subject change, good idea.] Just around the bend here, there's actually a little bench that can hold some weight.

From:

thekillerwhale

Really? Okay, we'll eat there then.

[He starts walking in the direction that was pointed out, not letting go of Gokudera's hand until he needed to. When they reached the bench, he pulled out the lunches from the bag as well as a blanket that Gokudera should recognize well enough.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[The bench has clearly seen better days, but it'll hold their weight and doesn't look too suspicious otherwise. Gokudera pulls out the bit of food he brought as well so he can feel like he's contributing, and he smiles at the blanket.] You kept it. [He wanted Makoto to keep it.]

From:

thekillerwhale

This is the blanket that kept me from getting sick. [He scoots in close to him and lays it over their laps.]

Of course I kept it. It was a birthday present from Hayato even though you didn't know my birthday at first.

[He patted his lap affectionately.]

My first memories...

From:

somanyfeelings

I couldn't let you get pneumonia as soon as you showed up, even if you were a stranger. A stupidly tall stranger.

From:

thekillerwhale

Hahaha! Did I intimidate you with my height? [He knew he was the least intimidating thing in the world.]

From:

somanyfeelings

More like annoy. [Gokudera bumps shoulders with Makoto again.] But I decided not to hold it against you.

From:

thekillerwhale

[He chuckles lightly.]

I like you at this height. It makes it easier for me to do this.

[He gives him a peck on top of his head.]

From:

somanyfeelings

[Gokudera goes red again, hesitating before leaning up (and tugging Makoto down) to kiss him quickly.] I maybe don't mind the difference so much anymore.

From:

thekillerwhale

[He also blushes a little at the quick kiss, enjoying these little bouts of affection between them.]

That's good.

[He opens up the lunch boxes and passes one off to Gokudera.]

Let's eat!

From:

somanyfeelings

[Right, eating, good idea before he's hungry for ... something else. Gokudera takes the offered food, sharing what he brought as well.] This is really good. ... At least one of your buddies that'd be moving out with you can cook, right? [It's good to make sure of these things.]

From:

thekillerwhale

[He nods.]

Watanuki cooks everything now and he's really like a professional chef.

But Haru can cook really well, but back home, he mainly cooked mackerel. Sometimes I could get him to cook something else, but if he had mackerel, he would cook it.

Rei can cook, too.

Maybe it's mean to say, but it's a little bit of a relief that mackerel is hard to come by so we won't have to eat it everyday. Hahaha!

From:

somanyfeelings

He'd probably get sick eating nothing else, at least with the energy needed here, so I don't think it's mean to say at all. Of course, I say meaner stuff all the time...

From:

thekillerwhale

[He nudges him a bit with his shoulder.]

You're like a firecracker. That's why bombs fit you as a weapon.

[He chuckles then takes another bite.]

From:

somanyfeelings

Tch. ... ... You're just gonna encourage me, if it means you call me a firecracker. [Right stuffing his face before he says something dumb.]

From:

thekillerwhale

Encourage you?

[He smiles.]

To be spontaneous?

From:

somanyfeelings

[Right, don't say 'or to be an ass', that'd be a total mood ruiner. Gokudera swallows his food, nudging Makoto's foot with his own as they sit on the bench.] Maybe something like that.

From:

thekillerwhale

[He would hope that he's not encouraging him to be mean. He nudges his foot in return.]

After this, where did you want to go? Somewhere warm, right?

[He takes another full bite of food.]

From:

somanyfeelings

We could go back to the mansion. O-or, your place. [The mansion isn't overcrowded with people waiting to walk in on them, though.

He's a teenage boy, alright, he's got ... needs.]

From:

thekillerwhale

The mansion is fine. I get to see Uri, too. [His other true love.]

[For a date, even if it didn't include making out, the Halfway House was too crowded for a proper one-on-one moment. They would both be prone to getting asked to do a chore or bothered by something. It was a lively house.]
