032 - [After the Shadows]

[tsuntempesta]

[There was a soft frown on Gokudera's lips as he sat in the living room of their apartment, gazing out the window. He hadn't yet spoken to Yamamoto since that encounter with 'himself'. . . But that's probably because he's been avoiding the other male. Mainly due to several things said by Gokudera's own Shadow. He didn't entirely know what was said. . . But he could imagine a little of it. Things that he wouldn't have ever admitted to the Vongola's Rain if he had the choice. Of course, these thoughts and emotions had likely been laid out quite clearly before the other.

He sighed, dropping a hand down to pet Uri gently behind the ears. The feline seemed to be sleeping rather contentedly in Gokudera's lap, a soft purr audible. Another sigh escaped him as he rested his head against the window, eyes closing after a moment and his hand now simply resting on the feline gently. Whether or not he's really asleep is debatable though.]

[Uri opened one crimson eye dolefully, seeming somewhat annoyed that Gokudera had now shifted to pay more attention to Tsuna. After a moment, he decides it's not really worth the effort at the moment to do anyways - so he'd just save it for later and for the moment he just re-situated himself in Gokudera's lap to continue sleeping.]

". . .Well enough. How are you?"

[He hadn't entirely been asleep - it was really more of that asleep-but-not-really kind of dozing off. But either way.]

Also well enough. [And lucky the bitemark that was on his neck faded last week.]

And you?

[He seemed to be thinking over how to answer this.]

". . . Alright."

[AKA, there was clearly something bothering him and he just didn't want to worry you with it.]

[There's a brief moment of consideration here, but he's not going to call you on that directly.]

Mm... Takeshi finally came back, at least.

[He might have shifted a little at the mention of Takeshi, frowning a little.]

" . . Y-Yeah. . ."

[And of course that was noticed. So he can't help but ask, even if he's pretty sure you're not going to want to talk about it.]

...Did something happen?

[He was quiet for quite sometime before speaking. When he did speak it was more of a mumble and you probably would have had to listen rather closely to make it out.]

"...I'm worried about what the other me might have said to him."
