023 - [...i suoi sentimenti...]

[tsuntempesta]

[It was already dark, but at the same time it wasn't too terribly late when the younger of the Gokuderas returned to the apartment. He had been gone most of the day, though there hadn't been anything wrong exactly. He'd been thinking mostly. . . and trying to get the nerve up for what he was currently trying to do. He was nervous, and that much was obvious. Mostly by the way he kept fidgeting with his rings, but there were other small signs too.]

". . J-Juudaime?"

[Even the hesitation in his tone gave away his nervousness. . . and he was only too painfully aware of all of this. He hoped that no one else would notice. . . But. . . really. . . It was entirely too obvious.]

[He looked up when the other came through the door, taking note of that tone first. Between that and everything else, it really was all too easy to tell something was up. Still, he decides not to further point out the obvious by questioning the nervousness. It seemed difficult enough for Gokudera already.]

...Welcome back, Gokudera-kun. [He offers a smile with this, and tilts his head.] What's up?

[He offered a sheepish little grin as he saw you, rubbing the back of his neck a little. He pauses a moment, trying to gather his thoughts before speaking up.]

". . .A-Ah. . .I was. .ahh. . .Would you. .. goonawalkwithme?"

[The last part was kind of jumbled together, and he was already scolding himself mentally for it. If he could barely even manage that much, how was he ever going to get himself to say what he felt he needed to say?]

" .. I-I mean! Only if you want to! If you don't want to that's okay, really! I just thought. . .Umm. . It's a nice night and all!" [He was talking entirely too fast, entirely too nervously.]

[He has a pretty good idea of where this might end up--because hey, there's asking out of a sort going on here. So, if you're not too busy inwardly flailing at yourself, you might catch that brief flash of realization in his eyes before he gives a nod.]

Mm, sure, I'll go with you.

[. . . Yeah, so. It is a little obvious. Subtle has never really been his best subject. His grin brightens a little at this. . .Though he hasn't caught on that you totally know his little scheme.]

". . . Doesn't seem like we catch each other around too often. . ." [He's gone to open the door for you, but he mumbled that a little softly. It was true - it seemed like their future selves were around more than either of them. . and it seemed like most of the time when he was around. . . The future Tsuna was the one around.]

". . I was kind of afraid that it wouldn't be the right Juudaime I fuond when I got here. . ."

[S'okay, 'Dera. He loves you anyway. He offers another smile in thanks as he heads out the door, though the subject of the switching--lack thereof?--causes him to frown slightly. Tsuna hadn't failed to notice this fact either, though, considering some of the things that happened here--it might not be such a bad thing at times. Either way, unbalanced as the time was, there wasn't much that could be done about it....]

It's too bad it's not more even... But at least it worked out this time. We'll have to make the best of it.

[He couldn't help but offer a little grin at that, moving a little closer to Tsuna, half-tempted to take the other's hand into his own. . . But of course he didn't. It would have been a little much for him at the moment, what with his nerves as they were.]

" . . Yeah. . . And it's a really nice night too. A perfect night to be out on a walk with Juudaime~"

[. . .Oh, he might have also taken the lead at this point. He clearly had a place in mind.]
