[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

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.]
