Phoenix leaves the kitchen again with a seductive grin.
"I'm a fucking cripple if you haven't noticed!" Gokudera sighs and limps out of the kitchen to see Phoenix sitting cross-legged on the couch with her head resting on her left hand. She smiles as he comes closer to the couch. "I swear, if I screw up my other foot, you're gonna have to do many favors for me."
"Why do you think I wanted to get you off your feet?" Phoenix grabs the green-eyed teen's wrist and pulls him down on the couch next to her. "And no, you get no favors if you are going to be like that."
"Stop, I need to go get some more vodka. This stupid ankle is bothering the hell outta me. And what the hell do you mean 'No favors'? I think you owe me quite a lot." Gokudera gets up off the couch. "Now leave me alone if all you'll do is be mean to a cripple. I need my vodka, or some painkillers or something."
Phoenix pulls him back down on the couch.
"Stay put, you're going to hurt yourself again." Phoenix stands and goes into the kitchen only to come back out with two bottles of vodka and a frown. "This is just sad. These are the last two bottles. Who do the people who did all this think I am?"
Phoenix sits back down, handing Gokudera a bottle.
"Well obviously they know you're an alcoholic." Gokudera opens the bottle and lays back against the armrest of the couch, resting his hurt leg over her legs. "If Reaper doesn't kill us, alcohol poisoning sure will."
They both laugh and Phoenix opens her bottle and take a drink.
"Going out in a drunken haze. I'm okay with that." Phoenix smiles as Gokudera takes a swig of vodka.
"We should probably stop with this sooner or later. My uncle died from liver failure at the age of 30. I would stop but goddamn this is some good shit." Gokudera takes a large gulp and Phoenix moves so that she is laying against his side.
"I just want to know why they only gave me 17 bottles. Like you said, this stuff is good and I want more."
She pouts slightly and Gokudera puts an arm around her shoulder.
"I'll buy you some booze once we get outta here. We can go to Italy for some wine. I have some acquaintances who own vineyards by the countryside."
Gokudera smiles slightly as Phoenix rests her head against his shoulder and drinks some more vodka.
"So we're like newlyweds and you're going to take me to Italy?" Phoenix takes a drink of her vodka. "There's someone I know who would think you're proposing to me."
Gokudera jerks his head down to look at the girl laying against him, a blush creeping across his face.
"W-What? I wasn't! I'm just saying...I'd like to take you to Italy one day. Maybe back to where I grew up and by my mother's grave. That is...if you want to." Gokudera's tightens his arm around Phoenix. "I really wanna introduce her to you. Even if it's just to her tombstone."
Phoenix smirks.
"I know you weren't." She places her bottle of vodka on the ground next the couch, wraps one arm around Gokudera's stomach, and closes her eyes. "I'd like that. May-maybe if we get out of this...I can introduce you to my family."
Gokudera smiles softly and kisses the top of her head before placing his bottle next to hers.
"I'd like that very much." He smooth's his hand along the top of her head, smiling as Phoenix snuggles closer to him. "This is so weird. I feel like we've been together forever and yet, it's only been a fucking day."
Gokudera laughs and Phoenix smiles slightly.
"I know what you mean. But I guess it's a good think that we're able to be like this already...considering what's coming." Phoenix smirks slightly. "I bet Reaper didn't count on that."
"Oh I don't know. Being the fan boy he is, he's probably squealing in excitement at all this. Like I said, it wouldn't be so bad to give him a little show." Gokudera wiggles his eyebrows. "I mean, technically, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be together right now. Right?"
Phoenix leans up and kisses Gokudera lightly.
"I think we gave him a good show already." She smirks. "You're right, next time I see him. I'm going to thank him."
"Fuck. Sorry. Freaking hormones. First time having a girlfriend and all..."
Gokudera blushes and Phoenix smiles knowingly.
"Hey, you're my first boyfriend, so this is all new for me to."
She places her hand against Gokudera's cheek and kisses him lightly before placing her arm against his stomach again. Gokudera smiles brightly.
"R-Really? I mean...you don't look like the type to have been single for 16 years. I mean, not like it's a bad thing. I'm just saying...I...uh. I'm glad...I guess. No, I mean, I am. I don't like the idea of having another man touch you or kiss you like I have."
Gokudera begins to fret and Phoenix laughs slightly.
"Well you're the first guy who ever showed any interest in me." Phoenix shifts her position so that she is looking down at Gokudera. "And what do you mean I don't seem the type? Just what are you implying?"
"I didn't mean anything by it! I just mean...growing up surrounded by men, especially in the Mafia world, I'm sure you had potential boyfriends and Mafioso aren't exactly the purest people, ya know?" Gokudera brings his arm up and wraps it around the ginger's body, pulling back down. Phoenix willingly goes and rests her head against his shoulder, wrapping her arm around his stomach. "So I'm just saying..." Gokudera tilts up Phoenix's head and looks down into her eyes. "It's nice to know you're not like everyone else." Gokudera pecks her lips. "And I'm sure some guys had their eyes on you. You probably just intimidated the shit out of them" Gokudera chuckles.
"I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult...I'll just take it as a compliment."
Gokudera hugs the redhead lying next to him closer, wrapping both arms around her.
"It's a compliment, okay?"
Everything goes quiet for a while, the two teen's content to just lay in each other's arms. Gokudera's hand travels down from Phoenix's shoulder and down her arm, using his finger to trace her scars. As his hand goes back up and reaches her shoulder, he moves over to the scars by her collarbone, suddenly shifting their positions so that he is above Phoenix. His head bends down and Gokudera kisses the scar he had just been tracing before kissing up her neck to another scar by her ear. Phoenix takes a quick breath and tenses up at the unexpected touches and kisses, her voice unsure.
"Hayato..."
Gokudera whispers huskily in her ear. "You don't have to feel so self-conscious about them. They're beautiful."
As Gokudera gently licks the outer shell of Phoenix's ear, the girl relaxes.
"It's not that. It felt...good." Phoenix smiles up at Gokudera. "I wasn't expecting that."
A smirk decorates the bomber's face as he sits back and pulls Phoenix up into a sitting position in front of him.
"Well then, I'm glad." He lifts up her hand and kisses her bruised knuckles and some scars on her lower arms. "You shouldn't hurt yourself anymore Aydan. Either by throwing things, punching walls or doing drugs. Don't do any of it anymore." The silver-haired teen looks into Phoenix's eyes pleadingly. "Please."
The Irish teen snaps her fingers and smiles.
"Well there goes my weekend plans. Now what am I going to do?"
Gokudera grins.
"Oh shut up."
