badfic_manor | 37th bomb || Hayato Gokudera || [video|private text][backdated to monday morning]

[The feed comes on to a rather dour looking silver haired teen, scowling at a little furry creature in front of him on the table. While usually he would be all kinds of excited to see a strange animal being a shameless occult nerd, after last week he felt that it was replacing his mother. So many people had just up an vanished lately, including about everyone he knew from home. While there was no complaint about Belphor or Mukuro's disappearance, his boss and even Lambo hit him rather hard... and right now the only thing to really take out his frustrations on was the stupid furball in front of him.]

The hell are you even supposed to be?

[The creature only cooed and toddled over to Hayato happily expecting a petting, unfortunately the teen wasn't exactly in a 'petting' sort of mood and just flicked the thing in the face with his finger. As it toppled over backward the teen noticed the blackberry recording.]

Tch!

[And with that he turned off the feed.]

[Private to Ryuutaro]

hey, i was just wondering if you're busy.

[Gokudera cast a few curious glances Ryuutaro's way, not that he expected him to say anything... he couldn't really find words himself right now. Something just felt a little weird, but it was probably nothing. Ryuutaro said it was okay, and Ryuutaro told him to trust him so he would. Besides! He said he loved him! Everything was okay!

Once they arrived at the kitchen, Gokudera gave Ryuutaro a peck on the cheek and separated. He knew full well that he was a scourge in the kitchen, and food was best left up to Ryuutaro. He takes the break to pick up the little furry thing in his hands, it still looked at him a bit warily, but seemed to enjoy the ride.]

Hmmm.... think I should give it a name?

[It was kind of cute... it would probably disappear at the end of the week... so he shouldn't get attached... but....

...it was really, really cute... and a UMA.]

[Ryuutaro didn't feel like he had any sort of concentration to deal with these... whatever they were. Opening the kitchen cupboard, he glanced back at Hayato and shrugged slightly.]

I suppose you could... Maybe it'll not be useful in the long run, but calling it might be easier.

[Same went for his own one, but his head was definitely filled with other things than naming small fluffy things right now.]

[His face scrunched up in thought as he looked at the little light brown furball. Well, naming it 'Tsuna' might be a little weird... and confusing. Maybe 'Tuna'? It would be like naming it after his boss, without actually naming it after his boss... but the names were so similar there could still be some mix up. So... in Italian!]

Tonno!

[He nodded and set it back on the table, watching it curiously as it simply stared at the big silver-haired weirdo before it. The teen had so many plans for this little guy! Just to find out what he was!]

[Ryuutaro watched Hayato and the now-named Tonno for a short moment. It was hard to believe this boy had... Ryuutaro stopped this train of thought. It was ridiculous to reduce him to that and the last thing Ryuutaro wanted.
This was still Hayato, he knew him so well, had for ages now. Nothing changed at all]

Sounds nice. Anything specific you want to eat?

[Hayato thought for another moment, then beamed]

How about that dango stuff?!

[Ever since Ryuutaro had taken care of him as a child he had grown rather fond of the food. He laughed a little, this all seemed so... normal. The person who he loved and who had accepted him was going to cook for him! He would be eating in the presence of family now. A light blush lit up his cheeks and he could feel his stomach flutter with excitement]

[Ryuutaro stared at Hayato for a moment again. He seemed so happy... Ryuutaro liked seeing him like this, but it did hurt right now. Regardless, he smiled.]

As you wish. It's easy to make after all.

[Surely in a few weeks he'd be able to fully enjoy moments like this again, he thought as he reached for the flour]

[Hayato contently plopped himself on a chair to watch Ryuutaro cook]

I'd help if I could... but I'm really bad in the kitchen... I mean... I feel sorta bad that you're just cookin' for me...

[He really did want to do something to help, it seemed like a fun thing to do... but between the amount of dishes he would break, and him getting distracted and messing something up... sitting back was probably for the better.]

[Ryuutaro shrugged and grinned a bit, mixing the flour up with water to get the right mix.]

As long as you're not completely taking this for granted, I have no problem at all with doing it.

[Appreciate was naturally a key-point here. Ryuutaro was far from being some sort of maid, after all. Then again that was the last thing he'd worry about right now]

[Hayato got up from his chair and wrapped his arms around Ryuutaro's middle, nuzzling his face into his boyfriend's cheek.]

Thanks.

[Not words he expressed often, but right now felt like a good time. It was a bit obscure whether he meant it about the food, or for accepting him... but he didn't care. He would gladly thank Ryuutaro for both.]

I know that I... well... it's hard for me to say how I feel... I mean... every time I do they either leave or throw me away... but I'm going to try. I want to be able to tell you that I...

[He blushes and fidgets awkwardly for a moment]

Y-y'know....

[Ryuutaro shivered at the touch, but then he leaned back a bit. For a moment his hands stopped moving and he closed his eyes, leaning against Hayato. Everything was normal. Better than normal. He just had to tell himself over and over again]

I'll wait.

[Because that was what he would do, wouldn't he? Ryuutaro wanted to make sure himself.]

I... want to hear it sometime.

[He did. Even if he knew now, maybe then this would feel fully alright again... maybe... Who had he become? Ryuutaro forced the thought away once again]

[That shiver.... but... it was nothing. He said it was okay. He would have told him if it wasn't. Maybe he was just a little scared, and he had told him to chase after him if he started pulling away- so that's what he would do. Just like Ryuutaro told him to.]

I'll make it special, I promise!

[He smiled and leaned down to give Ryuutaro a peck on the cheek]
