Gokudera pokes Phoenix in the side, smirking as she giggles and pecks her lips.
"Whatever you want, Babe."
Phoenix smiles, slides off the bed and picks up her torn shirt.
"Hayato?" She holds it up. "You were really eager yesterday, weren't you?"
Gokudera stares at the shirt.
"I didn't think it actually ripped…"
He laughs nervously and Phoenix laughs at his expression.
"It's okay Hayato, I don't really like this shirt anyway." Phoenix throws the shirt over her shoulder and picks up her totem. "Now let's see if this things healing abilities work on sex bruises."
Phoenix places the necklaces around her neck and her eyes flash with fire as sparks appear all over her body and blossom into flames. Soon her whole body is covered in fire. Gokudera watches Phoenix's flame-filled eyes with interest.
"That never fails to amaze me."
He watches as her bruises begin to heal. Phoenix looks down at her body as the flames sink into her skin.
"What amazes you? Fallows powers or me with no clothes on?"
She smirks and begins to look for her underwear. Gokudera grins.
"Both." He gets off the bed and searches for his pants. "You know, I don't even remember taking them off…" He bends down to look under the bed and picks up a piece of clothing. "Uh…I think I found your bra."
"Now how the hell did it get under there?" Phoenix takes the bra from him and slips it over her chest, reaching behind her to clasp it. "You know I find this unfair. Here I am practicably naked and you still have most of your clothes on." She crosses her arms. "At least have the decency to take your shirt off next time you rip my clothes off, okay?"
Gokudera chuckles.
"Hey, it's not like I was exactly thinking straight. My goal was to get you naked, not me." He finds another piece of clothing across the room. "I can't even make out what this was…"
Gokudera tries to piece it together through the rips and tears. Phoenix looks around him and sighs,
"I'm pretty sure that was my underwear…"
Gokudera smirks.
"Almost makes me feel like a monster."
He hands Phoenix the torn piece of cloth.
"I have flames that heal most injuries and you're the monster because you ripped your girlfriends underwear trying to get it off her? Hayato...you obviously don't know very many monsters."
Phoenix examine the torn cloth, balls it up and throws it away before going to the dresser and pulling out a new pair.
"What do you mean I don't know! I am the one who best knows about monsters and UMAs and the like!" He tries to go on about is 'experiences' with mythical creatures but stops when he sees an amused look on Phoenix's face. "What are you smiling about?"
Phoenix pats her lovers cheek and smiles sympathetically.
"Oh you don't know anything about mythical creatures. You human always get things wrong."
Phoenix goes back to the dresser and pulls out her clothes.
"And what do you mean by that!"
Gokudera goes to his own dresser to pick out clothes but Phoenix steps in his way and her eyes flash with fire. When the flames clear, her eyes aren't her normal blue but a yellowish orange with silted pupils.
"Never assume to know more than those who love with the creatures. I was raised on the truth of them."
Gokudera freezes up as he stares at Phoenix's eyes.
"I guess…" He goes quiet for a little bit before smirking. "How about you tell me more in the shower?"
Phoenix blinks and tilts her head to the side before a smile breaks out on her face. She closes her eyes for a second and when she opens them again they are a clear blue once again. The girl pecks Gokudera on the lips and nods.
"Okay, I'll even lend you a few books on the subject when we get outta here."
"Maybe I can even ask Fallow some questions…" Gokudera gets very excited. "I haven't exactly had the time to go out and research UMAs like I should so this…this is good…"
He walks into the bathroom with Phoenix in tow, going on about what he'd like to ask Fallow.
"Hayato stop. These creatures don't like to be interviewed. We only know so much because they are a part of us. Trying to get this information from them directly would be suicide."
The excitement fades from Gokudera's face and he feels a frown appear on his face. The silver-haired teen fakes a smile.
"I know, I'm just kidding." The Italian teen lies and kisses Phoenix. "Now come on. You know the warm water doesn't last very long."
"You better be just kidding or I'm never taking you to Ireland."
