"Hm? And why is that? There's nothing special about being in a tux. Actually…I haven't been in one for years…"
"Don't care. I wanna see it. I have a thing for guys in suits" Phoenix looks up at him and smiles before turning to Reaper. "Oi! Reaper, we walking or driving?"
"Walking of course, you know Chicago drivers. Much quicker this way."
"Ain't that the truth."
Phoenix mutters under her breath as Gokudera ruffles her hair.
"You're so freaking weird." He pecks her on the cheek. "Why do you care if we drive or walk?"
"Me, in this outfit, in downtown Chicago? So you know how many guys there will be, and some of them are gonna be stupid."
Gokudera wraps and arm around Phoenix.
"You've got me, that asshole, Raven, and the guards. I doubt anyone would be that stupid."
"Oh you don't know Chicagoans." Phoenix sighs and leans against her boyfriend. "You know if it weren't for the armed guards, right-hand man and the asshole, this would feel like a date."
Gokudera smirks.
"We can just forget about them for now and pretend it is."
"That'll work."
Phoenix smiles just as a construction worker whistles.
"Come on sweetie, ditch silver and I'll show you a real good time."
Phoenix rolls her eyes and Raven growls.
"Told you so Hayato."
Gokudera's mouth gapes open in disbelief.
"You come over here and say that to my face, you fucktard!" He gets ready for a fight. "I think you Chicagoans just have a death wish."
The man walks forward but Raven steps in his way.
"Walk away."
The construction worker quells under Ravens glare and backs up slowly before all out running away.
"Thanks Raven." Phoenix's second nods and smiles slightly before re-taking his position behind Phoenix's right shoulder. "Not all Chicagoans have a death wish…just the drunk fat ones." Phoenix reaches up and kisses Gokudera on the cheek. "Thank you for trying to defend my honor though."
Gokudera pouts a bit.
"I'm lucky you're mine. If anyone else were to have you…" The silver-haired Italian shakes his head. "I'd rather not think about it."
"Well you're never gonna have to think about it mo grah." Raven coughs slightly but Phoenix ignores him. "Because no matter what happens I will always be yours." She smiles. "And yes I know I'm a sap."
Gokudera pulls his girlfriend closer to him.
"But you're my sap."
He grins as he sees the expression on Ravens face. Phoenix laughs slightly.
"Watch this." She looks back at Raven. "Hey Joel, I think I'm going to start calling you by your legal name."
"Please don't call me that Phoenix."
"But Joel, it's so much fun."
Gokudera fights the urge to laugh hysterically.
"Joel? That's a very...lovely name.."
Gokudera has to bite his tongue from letting out a huge laugh.
"Gokudera, I can and will hurt you."
"Joel, you touch him and I kill you."
Gokudera grins .
"Oh come on, it's a good name. I had a cousin named Joel once…" He shakes his head. "Poor bastard…"
Phoenix laughs and winces clutching her side.
"Oh this is such a bad time for this." She is still laughing slightly. "Hayato, please promise me that you won't name our kid 'Joel'."
"Ay, but why? It's such a classy name."
Gokudera makes a weird noise from his attempts to hold back his laughter. Phoenix however bursts out laughing and gasps.
"Oh, stop…Ow…"
Gokudera looks at her worriedly.
"Mi dispiance, Aydan. I'll stop now."
Phoenix leans against Gokudera, still laughing and holding her side.
"Ow…You're so much fun Hayato."
Gokudera smiles.
"I'm glad someone thinks so."
