Gokudera feels a bit of stirring next to him, which cause him to wake up. He blinks his eyes open and looks around.
"Aydan?"
Gokudera squints in the early morning light as he tries rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Mhmm…"
Phoenix snuggles closer to Gokudera in her sleep, moving her arm above the blankets and baring her bruised wrist. Gokudera stares at the discoloration on Phoenix's arm in confusion for a second before shooting up into a sitting position.
"Aydan! Your…your arms!"
Phoenix blinks her eyes open and smile slightly.
"Good morning Darling." She looks down at her wrists. "Oh…well that's new…"
Gokudera pulls down the blankets, exposing a series of bruises trailing from her arms, to her shoulder and all the way down to her ankles.
"Damn it." He looks at the major bruising on Phoenix's hips and cringes. "I'm so fucking stupid. I knew I shouldn't have lost control like that…"
Gokudera turns away from the bruises and Phoenix sits up, hugging Gokudera from behind.
"Hayato, I'm fine. A little stiff but other than that, I am fine." She kisses his neck, resting her chin on the crook of his shoulder. "Don't worry about it."
Gokudera frowns as he looks down at Phoenix's arms.
"But I've never wanted to hurt you like this…"
He gently picks up one of her arms and gently kisses it.
"I'm not hurt. I told you I'm fine. A couple new bruises" Phoenix shrugs. "Nothing new."
Gokudera stares at Phoenix and pulls away slightly.
"You've gotten bruises from rough sex before?"
"No but I spar with my team almost every day." Phoenix pulls him back against her. "Add in my morning workout and well…I get bruised a lot."
Gokudera turns around and leans against Phoenix's chest.
"Mi sento ancora una Merda…"
"Hayato Gokudera, listen to me. You didn't do anything wrong." Phoenix wraps her arms tightly around him. "Hell, I liked it." She tightens her grip on him. "Please don't worry about it Hayato."
Gokudera smirks sadly.
"I doubt you'd like it if I did that all the time…Which I would never do." He wraps an arm around Phoenix. "Just…stop me if I ever get to be too much. Okay?"
Phoenix nuzzles into her lovers shoulder.
"Hayato, I'm fine. Please don't worry about it." She smiles slightly. "Maybe these will get me out of that dress I'm supposed to wear tomorrow."
"Why? How bad is your dress exactly?" Hayato smirks. "Is it one of those poofy Victorian dresses?"
Phoenix grimaces.
"I don't wanna talk about it...I hate dresses and this one..." She shakes her head. "I don't wanna think about it." The girl pulls away from Gokudera. "Let's just say you look a lot better in your suit then I do in my dress."
Gokudera smiles and ruffles Phoenix's hair.
"It's all right. If it makes you feel better, I'd be happier if you were in one of those poofy dresses." He pokes her side and pecks her on the cheek. "I'm sure you'll look beautiful in it either way."
"You just don't want guy to stare at me." Phoenix sticks her tongue out at her boyfriend. "Don't worry, most guys in the family know that staring at me only ends up with broken hands and missing eyes. I'm personally more worried about Kites dress, knowing you...well I'm very worried."
Gokudera frowns.
"What do you mean by that? You think I'm a cheating bastard?"
"Of course not. But you are a fifteen year old boy and Kites not exactly the ugliest person in the world." Phoenix shrugs. "I'm just worried she'll try to steal you from me."
"Yeah, but she's taller than me. That's already a turn-off. And so what if she's slightly attractive. Don't mean I'm going to fall for her. She seems a bit…loose." Gokudera sighs as he wraps his arms around his red-haired girlfriend and kisses her. "I'm not shallow Aydan. I wouldn't leave you for the world. I love you too much."
"Then I have your permission to slap you if I see your eyes start to wander?"
Phoenix grins and Gokudera nods.
"You do actually. But I doubt my eyes would." He kisses her shoulder. "My eyes would be on you the entire time."
Phoenix's smile grows wider and she throws her arms around Gokudera's neck.
"God I love you Hayato. You're the first person to make me feel so...wanted. When I'm with you I never feel alone and you even make me feel better about my scars." She tightens her hold. "You are the very best thing that could have ever happened to me."
Gokudera rests his head in the nook of Phoenix neck
"And you are that and more to me Aydan." He kisses her neck gently. "I just love you so fucking much, it's insane."
Phoenix rests her cheek on the top of Hayato's head and then almost whispers.
"How could I ever deserve you?"
Gokudera pulls back slightly to look into Phoenix's bright blue eyes.
"Because some higher power probably realized how perfect we were for each other and how much we needed to be it the others life. "You complete me."
"Some higher power?" The girl laughs slightly. "I knew there was a reason I fell for you." Phoenix kisses her boyfriend. "Now, shall we get dressed so we can have one peaceful day before I get forced to be nice with the rich and famous the O-Loughlin family."
