Gokudera smiles slightly at his girlfriends words. He keeps the two teens close to each other before he feels the warmth radiating off of Nicky but not Phoenix and quickly unwraps his arms from Nicky's shoulders. He hooks his arms under Phoenix and picks her up.
"Okay, sorry to cut this short, but I suggest we get out of here before some more of those assholes finds us."
"I can walk you know. They didn't do anything to my legs." Phoenix rolls out of Gokudera's arms, landing on all fours and standing up. "See?" She flashes Gokudera a smile and hugs her brother once more. "I've missed you little brother."
Nicky doesn't say anything but hugs Phoenix back and Gokudera narrows his eyes at Nicky. He pulls at the blond teens shoulders, trying to get him away from Phoenix.
"We don't have time for hugs Niccola." He turns to Phoenix and frowns. "No, I lost you once, it won't happen again." Gokudera pulls Phoenix closer. "I want you with me at all times."
"Dude, she's my sister. There's no need to get jealous. And for the LAST TIME it's Nicholas!"
Nicky crosses his arms across his chest and looks away from Gokudera and Phoenix. The red-haired girl smirks at her brothers' reaction and wraps her arms around Gokudera.
"Well that's going to be fairly easy, seeing as I've decided to move in with you right away."
Gokudera, who was fighting the urge to smirk, eyes widen as he quickly glances at Phoenix.
"W-What? But I thought you…what about your revenge?"
"Eh, who needs it. I got you and now I've got Nicky. I think my parents would understand."
Nicky takes a step closer, getting in their personal space.
"What revenge? What would mom and dad understand? Aydan you haven't been doing stupid thing again have you? You know that your lucks gonna wear out sooner or later." Nicky takes in how Phoenix's arms are wrapped around Gokudera. "And what, now there's time for hugs?"
Gokudera glares at Nicky and moves so that he is hovering over the blond boy, shielding Phoenix from him.
"Look, I get that you're Aydan's little brother, but that does not give you the right to get all up in her fucking business. You haven't been in her shoes and don't have the right to tell her what she can or can't do." He looks down at the younger boy with an intimidating look on his face. "So back off." Gokudera wraps an arm around Phoenix's waist. "And I can do whatever the hell I want!"
"OI! Don't have a go at my brother!" Phoenix steps away from Gokudera and over to Nicky. "He has every right to be worried about me, it doesn't matter if he's been in my shoes or not! He's my brother! Now I get that you don't get along with your family but that does not give you the right to talk to my brother that way!"
Nicky chuckles.
"A true Child of Fire, a passionate as the flame itself."
"And you're a true Child of Water, as calm as a mountain stream."
Gokudera is taken back by Phoenix's actions.
"I get that he's worried, but how the fuck am I supposed to deal with the fact that there's suddenly another guy telling you that they're worried when I've been worrying my fucking ass off over you for the past week! And my family life has nothing to do with this!" Gokudera runs a hand through his hair. "And what the fuck is a 'child of fire' and water and all that crap! I'm tired of being the one left out in the dark on these things damn it!"
Phoenix sighs and walks back to Gokudera.
"I'm sorry alright. Nicky's my little brother and I'm going to be protective and he's gonna worry. Think of it like this, there is one more person who won't let me do something stupid that will get me killed."
Nicky's head snaps up.
"What? What do you mean get you killed! Aydan!"
"Nicky, shut up for half a second, I'll explain everything later." Phoenix sighs and kisses Gokudera lightly. "I am a Child of Fire. It's what my family calls someone who hosts a fire creature, like a Phoenix or a Dragon." She kisses Gokudera again. "I'm starting to think you fall into the "Child of Fire" category as well."
Gokudera quirks an eyebrow.
"How so? What is a Child of Fire like?"
"Well...they're passionate and active and rebellious and stubborn and a constant fighter." Phoenix smiles softly "But they're also warm and a giver of hope and," The redhead places her hand against Gokudera's cheek "smart and amazing and loving and gentle and..."
Nicky steps up beside the couple.
"Actually I don't think that those last few are qualifiers of a Child of Fire."
Phoenix playfully punches her brother in the stomach and kisses Gokudera passionately.
