Gokudera: A Snowy Night Visitor
It was like any other night. You had finished your homework and were in your room now. You spaced out while lying on your bed, not exactly ready to sleep. You sat up, startled, when you heard a knock. It didn't sound like it came from your door but you got up to check anyway.
You opened it cautiously and found no one there. You checked the hallway. Empty. You quickly shut the door and surveyed your room. Where did that knock come from?
Knock. Knock. Knock.
There it was again. You stiffened and tried to rationalize with yourself that it was nothing. Nothing was going to hurt you. Nothing is going to get you.
You frowned, watching your room for any sudden movement before slowly walking over to your window. It probably came from there. If you thought about it, it sounded like knocking on glass.
You slowly pushed the curtains and gasped, holding in a scream. Quickly coming to your senses, you unlatched the window to start yelling at the person for scaring you. "Gokudera!"
"Geez, I thought you'd never open that window," Gokudera scowled.
You ignored him. "What are you doing here?" You whispered angrily, though you weren't. "You scared me!" You noted him sitting on the roof leveled with your window. It was snowing so he was wearing earmuffs, gloves, and a hoodie.
You decided to bombard him with questions. "Look, I know I'm slow and all…so could you help me to understand WHY you climbed the roof? Why didn't you use the door like a normal person? Ah, and it's cold outside!" you continued to ramble. "Why don't you come inside?"
"Nah, it's okay. Just came to visit," he replied coolly.
"Are you sure?" you asked, concerned.
He didn't say anything and turned away from you. You stared at the back of his head as seconds passed in silence. Then, he spoke, "I heard you're going out of the country for vacation with your family. For Christmas…"
"Yes, I am," you confirmed. You didn't really have much of a choice, but you didn't hate it.
"And it's Christmas soon…" Gokudera pointed out, trailing off. He still didn't turn to look at you.
"…Yes?" you answered, quizzically. You furrowed your eyebrows, confused.
"…I've got something to give you." He finally turned to you. "Here." He took your hand and dropped a small box into it. He quickly turned away again, his back facing you.
Your eyes grew wide. "Y-you got me a present? I…There's no way I can just accept this Gokudera!" Your face went warm.
"Just take it. I bought it for you," he said, sternly. He added, "You don't have to use it. You can give it away even; I'm just not taking it back."
You decided to keep it without a second thought. "Th-then, thank you!" you said, happily. You haven't even opened it yet, but you were happy because you got a present from Gokudera. At this point you didn't care what it was. Gokudera scoffed, leaning on your window sill. You tugged the ribbon off and opened the lid of the box. You gasped at what was inside.
It was a beautiful necklace; a silver heart, lined with tiny white stones and a flat heart-shaped stone in the middle. You took it out and held it in your hands. Your eyes twinkled, instantly falling in love with the object. You noticed something and your breath stopped. It was a locket. You pried it open, smiling, "Thank you so much Gokudera!" You said it a little too loudly and you blushed when he turned his head to shush you, holding a finger up to his lips, frowning.
"Be quiet. I don't want anyone to know I'm here, alright?" he said, dryly.
"S-sorry! I didn't mean to!" you said in a hushed whisper.
He looked at you over his shoulder and smirked. "Well, I better go now. See you."
"Ah, wait!" you called before grabbing him into a hug. "Thanks again! I really love it!" you said before letting go. You smiled at him, blushing embarrassedly.
He was looking at you, shocked and speechless. He struggled to regain his composure. "Uhm, anyway, you should get inside. It's really cold out, _(Name)_." He placed a hand on your window, "Close it now, and make sure to lock it, understand?"
You grinned and nodded. You moved to slide the window shut as he slid to the edge of your roof and jumped to the ground, out of sight. "Merry Christmas, Gokudera!" you called out before closing the space left between the windows.
You laughed at the last thing you heard: "Shush, woman! Jeez!"
