Gokudera stands up and holds onto Phoenix's legs, making sure she has a firm grip on him.
"Well what else was I supposed to do? You need to eat."
"Well you could always stay in bed with me."
Phoenix pecks Gokudera's neck and he stares back at her.
"You know I won't do that. Your health is more important."
"But you know you want to." She kisses his neck again. "Come on Hayato. Four bruised ribs are nothing."
"I will drop you if you don't stop Aydan." Gokudera's voice is completely serious. "Let me nurse you back to health and then we can do whatever you want."
"Oh you shouldn't have said whatever I want. There's a few things I wanna try Darling."
Phoenix smirks as the enter the kitchen and Gokudera shakes his head.
"I think the meds are really kicking in." Gokudera set's her down on the counter. "Try not to kill yourself while I try making this soup."
"Now how can I manage that with you around?"
"You never know." Gokudera takes out pot and bowls and metal spoons. "Now let's see…"
Phoenix watches Gokudera and corrects him when he makes a mistake.
"You really are getting better at cooking mo grah."
Gokudera smirks.
"I only learned from the best."
"Please tell me you're not talking about your sister."
Hayato sighs.
"No, not her! I meant you! God…."
"Good." Phoenix leans forward. "Hey you, come here."
Gokudera quirks an eyebrow and sets the fire low so the soup doesn't burn. He walks over to Phoenix.
"Yeah?"
Phoenix sighs and stares at Gokudera before a second before hugging him lightly.
"I'm sorry for worrying you before."
Gokudera wraps his arms around Phoenix.
"It's alright. I just have to get used to it…"
Phoenix pulls back and pecks Gokudera on the lips.
"You're not used to someone like me, huh? Someone who won't do exactly as you say?"
"Pretty much."
He looks over at the soup to make sure it's not burning.
"Well look at you." Phoenix smiles at him proudly. "I'm turning you into a cook. You may earn my father's respect yet."
Gokudera smirks.
"I like to think I already have."
"Trust me, you haven't." Phoenix laughs and winces, touching her injured side lightly. "Ow."
Gokudera frowns slightly.
"You really should take it easy." He walks over to the soup and shuts off the fire. "I think it's ready."
"It's not my fault you made me laugh. Maybe if you weren't so perfect." Phoenix looks at the soup. "Here, let me taste it."
"Oh please, I am not."
Gokudera pulls the soup into a bowl and hands it to Phoenix.
"Let me decided that." Phoenix looks Gokudera over as she takes the bowl from him. "Yeah you are." She sips the soup. "Good job Hayato. Just a pinch more salt and it's perfect."
Gokudera grins at Phoenix's praise.
"Finally I made something decent." He pours himself a bowl of soup and begins to drink it. "Not bad…"
"Well you did learn from the best." Phoenix chuckles and winces again. "I hate bruised ribs. Broken I can deal with. Bruised requires a completely different skill set."
Phoenix drinks her soup and Gokudera smirks.
"Well you're weird."
"No just not patient."
She smiles and yawns slightly, which Gokudera notices and sits up.
"Looks like someone's tired." He gets up and offers his back to her. "Now you wanna go to bed? Together? Like you wanted?"
Gokudera smirks.
"And I'm the tease?"
Phoenix climbs onto Gokudera's back and rests her head on his shoulder.
"Damn Blue…giving me a sleeping drug…I don't…ne…"
Phoenix drifts off as Gokudera carries her to the bedroom.
