Gokudera's neck snaps to the side and his eyes widen but he keeps his arms around Phoenix's body.

"What are you doing here!"

"Obviously I came to talk but if you two are busy."

"Define busy."

Phoenix says, smirking as she kisses Gokudera. Raven groans as Gokudera plays along with his girlfriend.

"You're lucky you weren't here yesterday."

Gokudera pecks Phoenix's lips and the girl wraps her arms around Gokudera's neck.

"That might have made him think twice about coming in without knocking."

"But I wouldn't want him to see you like that." Gokudera kisses his girlfriend and whispers against her lips. "Looking all sexy in my shirt…"

"Glad you liked it. I shall remember to keep it between us."

Phoenix smirks and kisses Gokudera again as Raven shifts uncomfortably.

"Phoenix I…I need to talk to you. Now."

Phoenix sighs and turns her head away from her boyfriend, keeping her arms around his neck.

"What?"

"I remembered something."

Gokudera quirks an eyebrow.

"What does he mean?"

"Raven has amnesia remember?" Phoenix sniffs the air, pulls out the dish they were working on and sets it on the stove before turning to her right hand man, worry coating her face. "What is it?"

"I…I know who my father is."

"Who is it?"

"I…" Raven sighs. "Declan O-Loughlin."

Gokudera's breath hitches and sputters.

"W-W-What!"

Phoenix takes a step back.

"What?"

"Declan O-Loughlin…is my father. That's all I remember. Boss I…I don't know what to do with this." Raven drops down into a chair and covers his face with his hands. "Aydan…what do I do?"

Gokudera pulls away from Phoenix and walks closer to Raven.

"Are…Are you absolutely sure about this?" He looks back to Phoenix. "Tell him he's going crazy! This…this can't be true…"

"I don't know...He was assigned to my team during that first raid, only top level people were assigned to me in those days." Phoenix runs a hand through her hair, a thoughtful look on her face. "And it always seemed strange to me that no one knew who you were, someone in the family had to know you. So the only reason they would say they didn't is if they were ordered to. But why go through all that trouble for some foot solider..."

Raven watches his Boss think with separate eyes.

"So you think it's true? You think I'm really an…an O-Loughlin?"

Phoenix doesn't answer but leans against the counter, staring hard at her right-hand man. Gokudera looks back and forth between Raven and Phoenix.

"But it's not possible…If you were his kid, why the hell wouldn't he say anything?"

"Hayato, you know firsthand about bad aithreacha. I'll admit the thought had crossed my mind before Raven but…you're so different from him it didn't seem possible." Phoenix goes to her second in command and kneels in front of him, gently pulling his hands from his face and holding them between hers. "Are you one hundred percent sure that he is your athair?" Raven nods slightly. "Damn."

Gokudera looks away as Phoenix mentions his father, Phoenix had started teaching him a little Gaelic and he knew enough to know that 'athair' means 'father'. The silver-haired teen looks back to Phoenix as she talks to Raven, growling as Raven nods.

"That bastard…"

Phoenix stands and bends down slightly, touching her forehead to Ravens.

"This doesn't matter, you're still Raven. You're still my right hand man. Who cares who your athair is, it doesn't matter at all. Look at Hayato and his athair, I love Hayato and want to slit his aithreacha throat." She turns to Gokudera "No offense of course." Phoenix turns to Raven and looks down into his serious grey eyes. "You are you, not your ahair."

Gokudera's eyes widen as Phoenix touches her forehead against Ravens once more and thinks

"Don't get so close to him damn it!"

He rubs his temples and tries to calm down.

"Well now that you know, what are you planning on doing about it?"

Gokudera's tone comes off a little dry and Phoenix turns to glare at him but when she sees his expression the redhead sighs and takes a half step away from her friend.

"That's a good question. What are you going to do?"

"I-I don't know. That's why I came up here. I need advice Aydan. What do I do?"

"I'm not the best person to ask about bad aithreacha. If you remember I had a pretty good one. Hayato, what do you think?"

Gokudera shrugs.

"I say we should kill him."

Raven smirks slightly.

"Aydan, I like the way the kid thinks."

"There we go. Got you to smirk." Phoenix goes to Gokudera and pecks his lips whispering "Thank you."

Gokudera looks confused at Phoenix words.

"I wasn't trying to make him smile…"

He shrugs and Phoenix turns back to Raven.

"I could use a smoke, ya got one?"

The raven-haired man rummages through his pockets and pulls out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, tossing them to Phoenix.

"….What? You smoke!"

Gokudera looks at Phoenix in slight shock.

"Not really. Only when I'm stressed…or really pissed off."

She takes a cigarette and lights it before tossing the lighter and pack back to Raven.

"Like when you found out Reaper agreed to come after you?"

Phoenix takes a long drag.

"Shut it Raven."

Raven smirks and holds the pack out to Gokudera.

"You want one?"

"But still! It's not healthy for you! You can get fucking lung cancer! So you understand!" Gokudera turns to Raven. "Hell yes." He takes the offered cigarette and lights it up in front of Phoenix, taking in a breath. "So as I was saying this…" He motions to the cigarette in his hand. "…is bad for you!"

"Says the chain smoker to the girl who has, at most, a pack a year."

Raven stands and places the pack on table.

"Well I'm not getting in the way of this fight. Boss you can have the rest, Blue's got me pretty well stocked up."

Raven quickly makes for the door and Phoenix snatches up the pack, placing it in her pocket.

"Hayato, I'll be fine. Besides, you know just as well as I do that it's relaxing."

Phoenix takes a long drag and leans her head back, blowing the smoke at the ceiling.

"So? It's not good for you!" Gokudera wraps his arms around Phoenix waist from the back. "Please don't." The silver-haired teen kisses the pale neck of his lover and while she's distracted, his hand quickly goes into her pocket and pulls out the pack. "Aha!"

"HEY!" Phoenix tires to get the pack back from Gokudera but he holds it out of her reach. "Give that back! I only smoke one and that's for extreme cases!"

Phoenix struggles to get the pack back but Gokudera refuses to give in.

"Nope!" He keeps the pack away from her, leaning over and pecking her lips before walking away. "I'll be keeping this."

"But you'll smoke them all!" Phoenix follows Gokudera into the bedroom. "Come on! You smoke so why can't I!"

"'Cause I said so." Gokudera sticks his tongue out at Phoenix and walks into the bathroom. "Now leave me alone woman. I have to pee."

"You get no food tonight. I am banning you from the kitchen. You can go hungry." Phoenix sticks her tongue out and walks away, calling over her shoulder. "That also includes your ah…other hunger."
