🧙 WHO: Tsuna and Gokudera
⚔️️ WHAT: Heart to Heart Conversations
🕒 WHEN: After the Tournaments and Trust
🗺️ WHERE: Gokudera's place
⚠️ WARNINGS: Probably heavy topics involving Gokudera's past and other insecurities



[Tsuna is exhausted, to put it mildly. What had started as a fairly fun day had rapidly taken a turn for the worse in ways he hadn't really expected. And while he'd made it out more or less in one piece, it was not unscathed. The echoes of his reflection and the things that were said still linger.

It's how he finds himself where he is now, in front of Gokudera's place. He doesn't really want to go back to his room at the inn, or be alone. He just wants something familiar. And he doesn't really want to think about whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. So before he can convince himself otherwise, he knocks.]

No, I'm fine. Just a few scratches but they're pretty much healed.

[Really, he just wants to rest, and not think for a bit. He's tired. And being able to lean against Gokudera like this? It's a good place to be.]

Just my insecurities...

[bakudan_bambino]

[Feeling his boss leaning into him, relaxing makes Gokudera's heart flutter and he assumes he must be tired.]

Do you want to sleep a while? I'm not planning to go anywhere.

[He wouldn't mind caring and looking after his boss. The Tenth doesn't need those insecurities and Gokudera will do his best to assure them away for as long as he can or is needed.]

[theskyaccepts]

That...might be good yeah. If you want to put on a movie or something, go ahead. I don't mind.

[He can let himself be cared for, for a moment. At least until these feelings pass.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Alright.

[Gokudera is careful in getting up, but moves to get a few more throw pillows and arrange them so his boss can be comfortable before he's putting on a movie, some documentary about pixies, but narrated in a voice reminiscent of David Attenborough. The silver-haired teen adjusts the volume and takes his place on the couch, leaning against the Tenth. If they fall asleep, Tsuna may find himself being snuggled, made right into a little spoon on the sleeper sofa.]

wrap?

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna does eventually drift off, the combination of the calm documentary, Gokudera's presence and just finally being able to relax after everything. He still has thoughts, but for the moment, they've stilled. He can worry over them later.]
