Phoenix sits up straighter.
"What?"
"I just mean..." Gokudera sighs. "If you really had gone..." He points up. "up there, then it's a possibility that you were about to meet your family again. And I was scared that...if you had met them, then you might never want to come back..." Gokudera looks down in shame and in sadness.
"You thought..." Phoenix sighs and smiles softly, lifting his chin up. "If you're not with me then I am always going to come back. They're my family and I love them but...I love you too." Phoenix kisses Gokudera lightly. "And I don't think I could stand being away from you, even if I was with my family."
"R-Really? You mean that?"
"Of course."
Gokudera wraps his arms around Phoenix and kisses her.
"You're the first person I've ever loved so much. It feels unreal and...happy. I feel happy." Gokudera searches Phoenix's eyes for a second. "God I love you so much."
Phoenix smiles and kisses Gokudera back.
"Well I make you happy and you make me feel at peace. I haven't gone a day without dealing with my demons in so long and I've just had two days of pure peace. I love you more than I think I can ever understand."
Gokudera hugs the slim girl tightly.
"I feel the same way." He kisses her passionately. "I'll never let you go. Ever."
"I am strangely okay with that."
Phoenix smiles and kisses Gokudera pack with equal passion while wrapping her arms around his neck. Gokudera places a hand on Phoenix's hip and the other runs slowly through her hair, somewhere in the back of his mind Gokudera marveled at how soft it was. The tanned boy bites down on Phoenix's bottom lip gently and when she gasps, he uses that chance to enter her mouth, smirking when she allows him to do as he pleases. His tongue roams around her mouth, experimenting and he feels Phoenix tremble slightly in his arms so he pulls back.
"S-Sorry. Was that too much? I don't really know what to do exactly. I'm just experimenting." Gokudera blushes.
"Hey, who you told you to stop?" Phoenix smiles slightly through her deep breathing and Gokudera smiles back. He kisses her again but instead of invading her mouth he trails his kisses down to her jaw and from there her neck. The silver-haired teen slowly and gently pushes Phoenix down on her back as he sucks on the side of her neck, nibbling at it and making a red mark. He grins when Phoenix moans softly.
"Wow, I didn't know you could make a sound like that..."
"Ne-Neither did I..."
Phoenix bends her head back, panting slightly as Gokudera continues to kiss her neck.
"Jesus Aydan. I can't..." Gokudera kisses across Phoenix collarbone. "If we keep this up...I won't be able to hold back." The younger teen kisses his way back up to Phoenix's lips and sucks on her bottom lip. He attempts to pull away but Phoenix holds him close against her. "W-We should stop."
The two teens look into each other's eyes, both of them breathing heavily.
"There's a lot of things we should stop, Hayato." Phoenix releases him from her arms and smiles slightly as he sits up. "Spoil sport."
Gokudera tries to compose himself as he stares down at the red head still laying back against the couch.
"How am I the spoil sport? I'm trying to respect your wishes and not...take it any further." Gokudera feels his face heat up and slaps it to get rid of the blush. Phoenix laughs.
"I thought I told you not to slap yourself. That's my job."
"Oh please. I need to cool myself down." Gokudera gets up off the couch. "I'm gonna go pace around or some shit."
"Yes...leave the crippled girl with nothing to do. How very gentlemanly of you."
"You should cool yourself down too, damn it! Just...sit there and think about all the pain you put me through."
"But I'm bored." Phoenix pouts slightly and Gokudera has to bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself in control. "And you know you love me."
Gokudera sighs and bends down, presenting his back to Phoenix. "Get on. I'll take you outside. Maybe even go to my room while we're at it."
"I can walk, you know. I just have to stay off the dislocated ankle. And what happened to cooling off?"
"I'd rather carry you. Both your legs are pretty fucked up right now. And fuck cooling off. I'm bound to be sexually frustrated for life anyway."
Phoenix laughs. "Not for life...trust me, not for life." Phoenix bites her lower lip. "Your ankle's still messed up too...and you could have tendon damage."
"It better not be for life. I might as well just die now." Gokudera turns and takes Phoenix's face in his hand. "Screw the tendon, Aydan. I'm more worried about your ankles. Not mine."
"Well I'm worried about yours!" Phoenix uses Gokudera's shoulder to pull herself up, keeping the dislocated ankle in the air. "See, as long as I use you as a crutch I'll be fine."
Gokudera straightens and looks at Phoenix for a second.
"Fine. But if it start hurting, let me know. I don't want you to exhaust yourself."
The redhead scoffs dramatically. "You underestimate me." The blue-eyed girl smiles. "So where to? The balcony or your room?"
"My room. Definitely my room." Gokudera slowly begins to lead Phoenix to the door.
"You're still not getting any." Her smile widens as Gokudera's mouth opens and closes several times.
"I-I...That's not what I was thinking about!"
"Sure it wasn't." Phoenix's laughter is cut short by a flinch. "Ow..."
Worry flashes through Gokudera's face, erasing the shock and anger.
"What happened? Are you okay? Did you break anything? Is it bleeding?"
"No, it just hurts." Phoenix noticed the immense worry in her boyfriend's eyes and tries to calm him. "I'm fine. I just think I need to get off it." She flinches as another wave a pain flashes through her ankle. "Scratch that! I do need to get off it. Ow, Ow, Ow..."
Gokudera hooks his arms under her legs and lifts her up, settling his other arm around the small of Phoenix's back.
"Fuck my ankle, I'm carrying you."
"What? No! Put me down Hayato!"
"No, I'm not letting you down. I'm gonna carry you to my room whether you like it or not."
The Italian teen walks over to the door and opens it.
"Fine." Phoenix wraps her arms around his neck and takes some of her weight off of Gokudera's arms. "But I am going to be very cross when you do put me down."
Gokudera looks at Phoenix with an amused look and pretends to drop her. Phoenix tightens her hold on Gokudera, glaring at him angrily.
"Don't do that!"
Gokudera laughs and Phoenix can feel the vibrations through his chest.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna drop you."
"I know you won't." Phoenix relaxes and rests her head on Gokudera's shoulder. "How's your ankle?"
"It's fine Aydan, don't worry about it. By the way, how the fuck do we get off this floor? I don't remembered the elevator being so far away."
"Why? Isn't your apartment across from mine? Or are you trying to escape?"
"Shh. You're gonna give us away, damn it."
"You're hilarious."
Phoenix kisses Gokudera's cheek and the teen smiles. Gokudera walks back to the door to his apartment and finds a note taped to it.
"What the fuck is this?"
"Hell if I know." Phoenix reaches out and pulls the note from the door. "Do you wanna read it or should I?"
"You can read it if you want."
Phoenix opens the note and clears her throat before reading out loud.
"In light of recent events you are both being moved to apartment 40. This apartment can be located at the opposite end of the hall. I do hope you enjoy it."
-Reaper.
