[Someone else has made a reappearance - or least he has within apartment 27. Gokudera was currently fast asleep in the room he shared with Tsuna and Yamamoto, though exactly how he was sleeping depended on the circumstances. If there had happened to be anyone else in bed at the moment he had reappeared he'd probably be curled up against whomever that may be. If there wasn't, he would simply be curled into the blankets. Regardless of which it was, he would be quite fast asleep and possibly snoring softly. On another note, he was also breathing properly and seemed to be quite peaceful in his slumber.

Once he woke up, he probably wouldn't be all too happy - this particular death had been a bit more painful than his previous and he wasn't at all happy for it. But for the moment, he'll just resume sleeping contentedly with Uri curled at the foot of the bed. The feline seemed to be napping as well.]

[[OOC: Pretend the icon is a TYL, 'kay? 'Cause this 'Dera is TYL. :3]]

{The sudden addition to the familiar weight sharing the bed with him should have woken him instantly, but it was a struggle to even try and maintain consciousness and think let alone try and open his eyelids. He could smell smoke and gunpowder, though, more than what was left behind on their pillows. It reassured him, but that relief made it an even harder struggle to open his eyes and peek out.

When he finally managed to see silver hair he breathed a little easy, even though it felt like his chest was one big weight.}

Hayato...

[Gokudera was cuddle against you, offering nothing more than a small mutter of something unintelligible as you spoke his name. He did, however, curl a little closer in to you.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{Takeshi relaxed and let his heavy eyes fall shut again. He wasn't sure what was wrong, but he didn't have the energy to even move. It took a lot out of him to even press his face into Hayato's hair and breathe before passing out again.}

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" .. .nnn?"

[He opens his eyes slightly to see his surroundings before just giving a sleepy little grunt and remaining curled against you in a half-asleep half-awake stupor. He might eventually fully wake up but he's pretty comfortable here.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{He's still breathing evenly, but shallowly with a slightly disconcerted look on his face.}

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[After a few more moments, he's going to jab you in the side slightly.]

" . . Takeshi. . "

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{There's a small noise thag passes his lips but that's it.}

. . I really just like this icon.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[. . So you'll get another jab.]

" . . Baseball idiot."

[He sounds almost annoyed this time - he tends to have very little patience anyways. That's just a 'Dera for you.]

XD Me too. very 5980

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{He gasps a little and cracks an eye open.}

Mm...?

Yuus. ♥

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . .what time is it?"

[. . .He knows you probably don't know. He's possibly just trying to be a pain i nthe ass.]

" . .. 'n where's Juudaime?"

♥♥♥♥

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{He tries to answer, but his whole body just feels like a great weight too heavy to move.}

I...

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . . 'you'. . . ?"

[He's starting to sit up now, frowning. He was already in a bad mood as it was and your behavior wasn't improving it.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{His eyes drift shut again and he forces them open even going so far as to try and pick his head up off the pillow.}

It's difficult to...move.

{And sure enough he's breathing heavier and sinking back into the pillow exertion straining his face.}

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[ . . .Now he was getting slightly concerned about you.]

". . . What the hell are you talking about? . . . Just wake the hell up and it won't be a problem."

[. . .He was thinking it was probably a bit more than just that though. . .]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{His eyes flutter shut and he breathes carefully.}

I'm trying...but I just can't....

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[Gokudera is watching you now a moment, a frown on his lips. He half wondered if this was somewhat related to what he'd gone through. His own flames had turned on him - unleashing the destructive properties of his own storm flames upon himself. This seemed similiar - just with rain flames instead. . .Possibly anyways.]

". . . When. . . did you start feeling like this?"

[. . .He remembered that your flames had come into contact with his own. . . and he can't help but wonder if this is related.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

I was tired after......

{He flinches, but even that looks difficult for his muscles.}

...after you ...but I thought it was...

{Expected, normal to feel so awful.}

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[ . . This suddenly made him even more worried - it seemed to pretty much go along with his suspicions unfortunately. But what kind of effect would it. . .]

". . . Has Juudaime been acting strange in anyway?"

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Not that I really.....maybe a little....

{It was easier if he kept his eyes closed and focused his energy on fewer things.}

He didn't want me to...try anything on you at first, afraid of what it might do...

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He frowned softly in thought at this. Maybe Tsuna had figured it out? But. . .Thinking back on it. . . through the haze of pain. . .even he had noticed Tsuna acting. . .not entirely like himself.]

" . . . I think it might have caused you to be like this. My own flames had turned on me - utilizing the destructive properties against my self. . .and suddenly you're feeling incredibly fatigued. Similar to the effect rain flames have. I doubt this is a coincidence."

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

...Makes sense...

{He murmured quietly and tried to stay away for Hayato's sake, but all he wanted to do was sleep.}

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[After a few moments you might feel someone petting your head gently, though he seemed to be pretty lost in thought at the moment. He does speak up after a moment though.]

". . .Just get some rest. I'll see if I can't figure out exactly what's going on. No doubt that stupid bitch is the cause of all of this."

[There's a slight growl to his tone with that last sentence.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

That's fine...

{He'll be going back to sleep now good luck waking him again.}

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[He had been sleeping, but not well--a lot of tossing and turning had been involved. Therefore, your reappearance pretty much wakes him right away. At first he freezes, hardly daring to breathe, like it might break some sort of fragile illusion. But after a few moments of watching your chest rise and fall easily, it's reassuring enough that he can relax.

He's going to let you sleep, but you're getting curled around in turn.]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[In response to you curling around him, he mumbled something incoherently and nuzzled affectionately against your chest. He remained like this for a little while longer before green eyes opened blearily and mumbling a soft little 'Juudaime' accompanied by another little nuzzle.]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[There's a soft sound for that second nuzzle and a kiss placed to the top of your head before he returns it. Perhaps you're not awake enough to notice just yet, but his movements are almost overly gentle--as if he's afraid of causing you harm somehow.]

I'm so glad you're safe, Hayato...

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He hasn't really noticed that yet, offering a little yawn before speaking up again.]

" . . I'm sorry I made you worry. . ."

[He mumbles this softly, sounding embarrassed. He really wishes you hadn't had to see him that way,]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[He just shakes his head to that, brushing your cheek lightly with the back of his hand.]

It's her fault, not yours.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He pressed into your touch with a soft sigh.]

" . . There has to be something we can do about her."

[. . He's so fucking sick of seeing you bothered by something she did. . . He really wouldn't care what she did to him personally if not for the fact that it would upset you. And he's just so fucking sick of it that he felt like he'd go to any lengths to put a stop to her.]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

Mm... It'd help if her sister actually bothered to step in sometimes.

[Seeing as how...power ban and all. It's been proved time and time again that he's useless here, and what he's tired of is watching the rest of you suffer.]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

". . . I'm somehow doubting she can anyways."

[. . .At least this is what he'd assume. . . Because surely if she could do something she would have stepped in already, right?]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[There's a sigh to that. His touch is still gentle as he runs his fingers through your hair, petting you a little, but there's a slight edge to his voice now.]

That had better be the case, at least.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He frowned at at strange edge to your voice, finding it distinctly unlike you.]

" . . . I'm sure if she could help us she would have done so."

[His own voice is gentle, as if trying to calm you. He's not entirely sure how much he believed his own words. It was entirely possible that both mermaids believed their lives to be their play things. . . . A thought that certain did not sit well with Gokudera.]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

I'm tired of it, Hayato.

[He's going to pull you even closer if you let him. It's almost protectively... Or it would be, if it weren't for the fact you already know something's off. Instead it comes across as a little more possessive than anything.]

So tired of the rest of you suffering for no reason...

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He'd known something was definitely different about you - he'd even noticed it somewhat before through his pain. He will, however, allow you to pull him closer. He'd really allow you to do just about anything - even if you were acting strangely . . .It was you, after all.]

" . . . I know, Juudaime. . . But. . . "

[. . . . Even he'd acknowledged - for all his talk - that there really wasn't anything they could do.]

" . . .We don't even know where she is. . .and honestly. . . She could take away every bit of our abilities. Do what ever she wanted to us. . . There's. .. really nothing we can do but try to remain strong and here for each other."

[His tone was still gentle, not really certain what else he could tell you other than the truth. He didn't want you trying something rash - while you weren't generally one to behave rashly, you also weren't yourself right now either.]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

Mm... [It's a sound of agreement, though the tone of it is irritated. Not irritation directed at you, of course, but all the same. Still, he can guess what you're worried about and no matter how infuriating Thalassa is, he has no plans to leave your side anytime soon.]

You're right, although... I just really hate that she has to play with what's mine.

[Despite his more neutral tone, there's a familiar orange glow in his eyes, except with no flame to accompany it. It fades almost as quickly as it appeared and at any rate, before you have much time to wonder about that oddity, he'll be claiming your lips in a kiss.]
