Gokudera shakes his head.
"No, I'm not going to leave her again. I promised her I wouldn't."
Gokudera looks down at Phoenix's form while Aedan mutters.
"Damn it, why did she have to fall for another Child of Fire." The Irish man speaks louder. "Fine, you don't come out of this it's your own fault."
Aedan snaps his finger and the fire jumps from where it's resting over Phoenix's heart to form a circle around Gokudera and Phoenix. Gokudera gulps as the fire surrounds him.
"I don't know if I should be scared or what, but this is…exciting…" At first all that can be heard is the crackling of the flames but then a song starts to play softly, a soft calm melody with no words. Gokudera looks around. "Where is it coming from?" The song gets louder and then softly a thousand different voices begin softly saying Gokudera's name. The flames begin to change colors, greens, blues, and purples. Gokudera continues to watch the fire as the colors change. "So…beautiful…" A giant bird, covered in flames lands on Phoenix's chest and blinks at Gokudera before touching its beak to Phoenix's heart and disappearing. Gokudera stares at the bird and quirks an eyebrow. "Fallow?" His eyes widen as the bird's beak touches Phoenix and disappears, glancing down at Phoenix and tightening his hold on her hand. "Come on, Aydan…"
The flames slowly dissipate and Phoenix moans as Aedan leans down to Gokudera's level.
"Kid, you just saw Aydan's soul. Not many people survive seeing another person's soul"
Phoenix's eyes flutter open.
"Hayato?"
Gokudera smiles softly.
"Hey there, babe. I'm glad you finally came back." He presses his forehead to Phoenix's and pecks her lips. "I missed you." Gokudera gets up and crawls under the sheets next to Phoenix, letting out a hefty sigh. "Now I think I can finally sleep after all this stress..."
Phoenix leans on Gokudera as Ronan steps forward
"We need to bind her again." Phoenix nods and Ronan places his water covered hands over her stomach and heart, a bright light shines and when it fades Ronan steps back. "I hope you weren't too attached to your scars, the body must be whole for the binding to work."
Phoenix looks down at her now smooth wrists and smiles softly before snuggling closer to Gokudera
"I won't miss them..."
Ronan looks at Gokudera.
"She'll have flue like symptoms for a few days and she shouldn't travel for about a week but after that she'll be fine."
Gokudera wraps his arms around Phoenix's midsection.
"Mhmm...Just make them leave so I can sleep. I can't deal with this anymore. Now that I have you back I can relax."
Phoenix snuggles closer to Gokudera, feeling completely safe for the first time in a week.
"Everyone out. That includes you Elders."
"The insolence of this girl."
"Come on Brother, she just came back from the dead twice. We can give her this."
Phoenix waits until everyone is gone before pulling off Gokudera's shirt and snuggling closer to him, resting her head over his heart
"I missed you too, Hayato." She nuzzles into his bare chest and wraps her arms around his stomach "I love you..."
The red-haired teen drifts off to sleep and the silver-haired teen quickly follows.
