I have nothing to say up here so... ENJOY~!
DISCLAIMER! KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN DOES NOT, I REPEAT, DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. ALL GOES TO AMANO AKIRA.
Gokudera headed to her apartment. Reaching there, she saw everything the same, the candles lighting the room and Yamamoto on one side eating.
"You're not going to turn the lights on?" She asked walking to the table. Seeing the food, her stomach gave a signal of want, to which Yamamoto laughed.
"Why, when you went through all the trouble? That would be a waste. Just like my pops always say; appreciate whatever comes your way, even if it's outside your liking." He said then going in for another bite. "And this food is great."
"Well, Etsu made it. So make sure to thank him after." She went to the light and flicked it on.
"Haha, I will." He said not minding the change.
They ate in Yamamoto's stories and jokes to which Gokudera just ignored. After he cleaned the dishes and tidied up while Hayato was in the shower, he sat down and turned the TV on.
Gokudera came back out in a sweat pants and sweater. "Shower's free." She announced.
"Eh? You don't have baths?" He asked as he got up and walked to the bathroom.
"No." Though he just laughed and disappeared into the room. Moving into the kitchen to clean up the mess, she saw the job had already been done. 'He finally did something, well, not stupid.'
After a while, Yamamoto came back out and flopped down on the couch. "There are energy drinks in the fridge. Help yourself to some if you get sleepy." She said and walked to her bedroom.
"Wait." She stopped at the call right at her door. "You're not staying up too?" He asked.
"No." She replied but before she could continue into the room, he spoke again.
"Come on, it'll be fun! We could play games or tell stories or watch some movies-"
"No."
"But I really might end up falling asleep even with the energy drinks since I do morning practices and sometimes drink them." He stopped her before she could move again.
Not in the mood to argue, she complied and sat on the opposite side of the couch he was on.
"What game should we play?... Hmm.. How about Monopo-"
"No." She interrupted.
"Then Scrabb-"
"No."
"Chess-?"
"Let me save you the trouble of any further attempts. I have no board games so, no."
"Aww.." He said feigning a look of sadness, to which Gokudera just rolled her eyes. "Then, do you have-?"
"Neither cards."
"Haha. It's like you're reading my mind."
"Easy guess."
"What about 'What am I'?" He asked in a thinking position, right hand cupping his chin while the left is folded across his chess with his right elbow resting on it.
"No." She simply replied.
"You don't play much games do you? At Tsuna's, it's always games..."
'Oh great, he's rambling again.'
"But they are fun. The kid really knows how to entertain you."
"Kid?" She asked.
"Yeah, at Tsuna's. The one in the suit and hat. You met him at Tsuna's house, remember?"
'Oh, the hitman.'
"Oh! I got it!" Yamamoto shouted as he thumped his fisted right hand onto his laid out left. "How about 'Would you rather-'?"
"What's that?" She asked.
"You don't know that game?"
"No. that's why I asked." She said, annoyance already flying back.
"It's fun and simple. You ask the other what they would rather do between two choices which are really over-the-top or unnatural." He explained.
"Like?"
"Like say if I'm to ask you now. It would be like; Would you rather..." He started pausing to think. "Jump in front of a speeding bus or... jump into a house on fire? And you pick either."
".. That's ridiculous.."
"That's the game."
"Whatever." She said in a not caring tone.
"I'll start first. Would you rather.. jump off a cliff or.. get moulded by a bear?" Gokudera's inner self just rolled her eyes at the stupidity of this game.
"Jump off a cliff."
"Why?"
"Because there's still a chance of living. By some miracle." She added seeing he was about to ask 'How'.
"That's true. Now your turn." He said excitingly. Gokudera just grunted and carried on.
"Would you rather.. be electrified or.. I don't know.. drown yourself?"
"Haha, electrified."
"Why?"
"Because you might still be alive. If you drown yourself, that's a definite chance of no survival."
'Well what do you know. He actually does have a brain.' She though, a bit impressed.
"Okay, my turn. Would you rather fly out of a plane without a parachute or lay in a field of poisonous snakes?"
"Looks like you had that one for a while."
"Haha yeah."
"Then, plane. If I land in water, there's a survival chance or in a few trees that can slow my fall."
"True. Your turn."
"Alright. Would you rather, jump in a lake of crocodiles or.. stand in front of a hungry lion?"
"Oohh, a hard one." He commented with a smile. "I guess.. lion."
"How come?"
"Well maybe I can get out alive. I don't know how but I think there's a possibility."
"Okay, your call." She said and the night went on like that. Not noticing she was secretly having fun.
It's two thirty in the morning and they moved to another game. Before they played a different game, YES/NO where you have to answer the other's yes/no questions WITHOUT yes/no. Of course Gokudera won that round. Now they are playing LTQ- Literal Thinking Questions where one tells a story and the other figures out the explanation or main of it using questions and the teller can only reply yes, no or not important.
For example: A man lives on the 10th floor of a block of flats. Every morning he gets in the lift, goes down to the ground floor gets in his car and goes to work. When he returns from work he gets into the lift goes to the 7th floor and then walks the rest of the way to his flat using the stairs. Why? Answer: He is a dwarf and can only reach the button for the 7th floor.
"A ruler." Gokudera answered at the boy sitting about twenty inches from her.
"You're really good at these games."
"Or maybe you're just bad at them." Gokudera said, a small smile on her face. And by small, I mean not visible really.
"Haha.." They both leaned back into the couch and stayed quiet for a while.
"Why do you wear those sunglasses anyway? Don't you get tired of it?" He asked.
"I wear it because I want to and if I want to then I don't get tired of it." Yamamoto sneaked a glance at her direction, staring at the glasses. "What?" She asked seeing his eyes hardly on hers.
"I'm curious of how your eyes or how you look without the sunglasses." He said, his brows scrunched.
"Like normal eyes." She turned back to the TV in front of her, watching the Tom and Jerry cartoon. The next thing she knew was a buzz in her mind, similar to the ones she previously got but stronger. When it disappeared, she felt her face a bit lighter and her vision clearer. Looking to her left, she saw Yamamoto, staring in shock and sunglasses in his hands.
Realizing what happened, she took her glasses and placed them back on. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked. After more than a minute, Yamamoto still held his same expression. "Hey." She called when there was no change, movement or answer. She moved closer and snapped her fingers in front of him then gave a light tap on the side of his face when there was no answer. He abruptly came back when he felt something hit his face. "What's wrong with you? Had a heart attack?" She asked confused at his behaviour for that moment.
"E-eh? N-no. Uhh... What?" Like he just woken up in an unknown place, he stuttered.
"You need an energy drink? You look out of it." She said, staring him down with hunched eyebrows.
"Uhh.. Yeah.. T-thanks." As she walked to the kitchen, she could hear him deeply breathe.
'Did he see something? I can't even remember, no, I don't even know when he took the glasses off... Though... I need to know what those.. sluggish moments are. Urgh, I need some sleep.'
She walked back and handed the can to Yamamoto, though with suspicion as he carefully watched her. "I'm going to sleep. Fine out here?" She asks but no response was given. "Oi!" He snaps out and carries his attention back to her. "I'm going to sleep. Are you okay out here?" She repeats.
"O-oh yeah. Uhh.. goodnight." He tuned back to the TV.
"Okay." She said slowly, noting his change in behaviour, walked to her room, locked the door and slid into her bed. She removed her sunglasses and wig and allowed her hair to loosely fall back onto the pillow with her. Pulling the cover over her, she stared at the ceiling before drifting away with a few troubling thoughts.
Ahh I miss Tom and Jerry.. I'm gonna watch it now..
