Phoenix falls down on Gokudera's heaving chest, the aftershock of their orgasms paralyzing them for a moment. After a minute of panting Gokudera folds his arms behind his head and says.
"I swear, we fuck like rabbits."
Phoenix chuckles slightly.
"You know you love it."
Gokudera bends his head down to look at the red head on his chest.
"Of course I love it. Seeing you like that...Mmhm~So fucking good."
Phoenix slips off of Gokudera's chest, only to turn on her side, place her head over his heart and wrap her arm across his stomach.
"Mind, meet gutter"
"Oh shut up. You know you like it when I do it to you too."
Phoenix kisses the patch of skin beneath her.
"I do" She smirks. "But you could be a little better at it."
Gokudera's jaw drops and his mouth gapes open.
"W-What! I think I do a pretty damn good job! All that moaning and shit! I'm damn sure I'm doing it right. Hmph."
"I said you could do better, I didn't say I didn't like it. Jeez, just jump to conclusions like that."
Hayato frowns.
"I still don't understand how I could do better. It's not like I'm over here criticizing your abilities."
"Do you have any?"
The silver-haired teen thinks about it.
"You could try using your tongue more."
He grins and Phoenix laughs.
"I will take your suggestions under advisement."
The Italian sighs.
"That really hurt, ya know? I feel like such a failure as a man now."
"Well you shouldn't." Phoenix pulls herself up and kisses Gokudera. "You really shouldn't."
"Then you shouldn't be such a critic." The boy pretends to be hurt. "I'm so hurt I might just throw myself off a cliff."
Gokudera laughs but stops when he sees a true fear come into Phoenix's eyes. A fear that she quickly hides.
"Don't just about stuff like that Hayato."
She lays back down against his chest and Gokudera sighs.
"I was just kidding. You know I love my life too much to do it. Unless I had to..."
"Just don't okay." Phoenix's arm tightens around Gokudera. "I'm only afraid of two things and losing people is one of them."
Hayato brings an arm down and wraps it tightly around Phoenix's shoulders.
"I'm not going anywhere, Aydan." He kisses the top of her head. "I promise."
"Then why joke about it? How do you find humor in that?"
The silver-haired boy rubs the bridge of his nose.
"It was just a joke, okay? I didn't know how you felt about it."
"Hayato, you know about my past. You had to have had some idea about how I feel about stuff like that."
"Yeah, well, I didn't. I didn't think you'd be so sensitive about it..."
"Whatever. Can we just not talk about it...ever again."
"Yeah, sure. We won't." The tanned teen inches closer to his pail lovers. "S-Sorry."
"Are you mad at me?"
"No, I'm not mad at you. I'm a bit annoyed at myself though."
"Why? You didn't do anything wrong."
"I just seem to upset you all the time. My joking bothers you, some other things I say set you off...I hate it. It's like I can't even say the right things."
"That's my fault! Not yours! I've told you before, I am messed up beyond belief. I just don't know how to react properly."
Gokudera uses his index finger and thumb to tilt Phoenix's chin upwards so he can look into her blue eyes.
"You're not messed up. Sure, you might not know how to react properly, but that's hardly your fault. I should just think before I speak."
"But I like the way you speak. I just need to learn how to filter my thoughts."
Gokudera quirks an eyebrow.
"You...like the way I speak?"
"I like everything about you darling."
Hayato tries to laugh the blush off his face.
"That will never make me feel...I don't even know what."
"Something good I hope."
"Of course it'd be good."
Gokudera laughs and Phoenix smiles.
"Well one never knows. That was a joke just so you know."
"Well obviously it was a joke. Wow, you're still just as bad as when I first met you."
The younger teen laughs so hard that his stomach starts to hurt.
"Well, now you've gone and hurt my feelings."
Phoenix rolls over with a smile.
