OOC: Gokudera's Party Log Post

[doubleppk]

OBVIOUSLY you don't have to show up. We know it's short notice and during the week (feel free to run threads for months I don't mind) we just had a lot of people wanting to log things related to it and rather than have 17 little logs (seriously, I mean it is starting to clutter friend's page, for which I apologize because I think 1/2 of that is me orz) THIS WAY everyone can and all one post. And be spontaneous whatever.

It's decorated for Gokudera's birthday, nothing TOO big and flashy but Fujiko got him a piano banner because she's like that. (and did one for Akito/Agito so yeah)

Also of course, the awesome amazing PIANO Tsuna and Reborn got him with Brooke to visit and play!! YAY!

Okay guys enjoy.

Deck 2

For other outdoors stuff. Wandering. I don't know. Whatever man.

Fujiko is sitting on a railing, taking a much needed cigarette break after cutting back so hardcore in August.

Re: Deck 2

Gokudera approaches Fujiko with the unopened pack of the cigarettes Smoker had gave him. He looks more cheerful than normal, but his eyebrows are pinched together as usual. "Hey." He greets her nonchalantly.

Re: Deck 2

[doubleppk]

"Goku-kun~" Fujiko purrs half-tempted to hug him. He's been bitchier than usual, past the levels even Jigen liked to stay permanently parked at and the best way to handle it was like an annoying purring kitten. He was going to kick her anyway at least affection threw him for a confused loop. Still, he seemed calmer so it could wait. "Yo," she waved cheerfully.

He halts in his tracks at the purr, then dismisses it. His frown deepens a little and he peels the plastic back from the pack, smacking it against his palm to pack them down before opening the box and extracting one new stick. "Stop calling me that." He grumbles, but his tone lacks its usual bite.

Re: Deck 2

[doubleppk]

He doesn't seem about to bite her in half for a change so she looks at him curiously. "Sorry," she mumbled in reply. "Something on your mind?"

Re: Deck 2

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

He walks over the railing without glancing at her. Every time he starts to think of his party, he feels small tears well in his eyes. No one has ever done anything so nice for him before, except when he was little and his happiness was all a lie.

"I'm... happy." Gokudera sighs heavily and lights one of his new cigarettes.

Re: Deck 2

[doubleppk]

Fujiko grinned ear to ear, "Nice isn't it?" She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly unsure of what to say beyond that. "You ever get something like this before?"

Re: Deck 2

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

"I had birthday parties all the time when I was younger until I decided to be on my own and until..." Gokudera cuts himself off to sigh. "I never felt like anyone cared until I met the Tenth..." He glances at her and his eyes shine brightly when a warm smile spreads over his face.

Re: Deck 2

[doubleppk]

Fujiko's stomach lurched. Always for the tenth. Of course. He couldn't be happy that anyone else cared or...

Always.

Why did she expect differently? Might as well be Jigen. Impeccably loyal to Lupin and the rest of the world could go to hell especially if anyone got in the way.

"That's great Gokudera," she forced a cheery smile balancing to lay back on the railing so she didn't have to see him. "It is a very nice piano."

Re: Deck 2

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

"Not just the piano." He says quietly. Gokudera honestly had expected something from the Tenth. He was so happy that his boss had remembered. The boy would have been as pleased with even a happy birthday wish, but for so many people to treat him so well, he felt numb with warmth. "...Everyone..." The Storm Guardian turns away from the rail and slides down to sit with his knees bent before his chest.

Re: Deck 2

[doubleppk]

The blonde woman turned to blink at Gokudera at that. "Everyone?" she didn't know her lower lip was quivering or why it even mattered but it did. She hopped off to sit next to him and awkwardly pushed him in the shoulder. "Happy Birthday kid. I'm glad you had a blast." She wanted to ask if he found her present yet but the words stuck in her throat. Really they shouldn't matter.

Re: Deck 2

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

"It's honest..." Gokudera says and he looks forward at the doors that lead back inside their warm ship. "The affection. Kind of strange for me. I don't deserve it." Not from ANY of them. Especially not the Tenth, who he tried to kill the first day he met him. He feels so honored.

Haru leans on the railing and tries to calm himself down.

It's fine. Everything is fine. I just need to get out of here before I make a fool of myself. I probably won't even see him again.

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

Tsuna steps out onto the deck and takes a deep breath. Don't turn back, don't run away. Face him like the man in charge you are. Oh but it's so awkward! He probably never wants to see me again! Despite the conflict running through his head, the Don's feet guide him over to the earthbender. "H-Haru..." The name falls shakily from a mouth that struggles to smile politely.

Re: Deck 2

[heartofstone22.livejournal.com]

"H-Haru..." The long-haired boy stiffens when he hears his name coming from the last person he wanted to see again.

Why do the gods hate me so much?


No... no, no, no... if I don't turn around maybe he'll leave.

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

He cautiously approaches his friend, unsure if he's been heard. The lack of a response concerns him and he stops not but a few feet away from Haru. "A-Are you okay?"

Re: Deck 2

[heartofstone22.livejournal.com]

It's the worry in the younger boy's voice that breaks his resolve.

Keeping his back turned, Haru says brightly, "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" He's proud he managed to keep the bitterness out of his voice.

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

"You left in such a hurry... I was just concerned..." That is was because of me. He doesn't want Haru to be upset, and it's somehow easy to tell that the earthbender is distressed.

Re: Deck 2

[heartofstone22.livejournal.com]

"Really?" His heart leaps at the thought that Tsuna was worried about him but he forces that burst of joy down.

It doesn't mean anything. He's just being nice. Try to keep in mind that he's tossing you over for someone else...

"I mean, that's nice, but I'm fine." He says, a little stiffer than before, still not turning to face the Vongola captain.

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

"L-Look... I know you're not happy and it's probably my fault-" Definitely my fault. "I just want to know how to make th-things right." Tsuna admits desperately.

Re: Deck 2

[heartofstone22.livejournal.com]

At that, Haru finally has to turn and face Tsuna. "Are you joking?"

Make things right? How could he possibly make things right?!

He inhales shakily, gritting his teeth against the angry words that threaten to burst out of his mouth.

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

"No! I feel terrible!" Concern is etched into all his features.

And it's really upsetting that you won't talk to me!

"P-Please talk to me." He pleads, the thought of losing a friend is near physically painful for the Don to handle.

Re: Deck 2

[heartofstone22.livejournal.com]

"What do you want me to say?" He shakes his head, frowning, pain evident on his face. "I don't want you to be upset but... I... if you just want me to make you feel better about this... I'm sorry. That's asking too much."

Re: Deck 2

[captain-dame.livejournal.com]

"What would make me feel better is to know how I can help you!" His tone is laced with poorly masked panic.
