Well I think that's dating, but if you didn't actually agree to it I'm sure Gokudera-kun's still confused.
... Dera-kun? Hayato-kun? Hmm... I'll have to ask him the next time we talk.
[His brows go up and he grins, crossing his arms and poking Makoto in the side with his elbow as he does so]
Since someone should assure him he actually has a boyfriend.

What a great idea Mako-chan! [He claps his friend on the shoulder.] I'm so glad you thought of it. Sometime today, okay?
[Yeah that isn't really a question. That's getting voluntold.]

[Aw man and he was just about to make his clean get away too!]
Ah ha ha ha....
[Busted.]
Technically, it wasn't talking... exactly...

You mean because Rei-chan doesn't, right?
[He sighs and leans against Makoto.]
I just want you to be happy. Maybe Gokudera-kun smokes and curses and tries to act tough, but I don't think that stops him from caring about you. My dad's a lot like that.

[Nagisa nods at that.]
And when he explodes it might just be a flash-bomb - cuz he just gets embarrassed the way Rei-chan and Rin-chan do. With how he gets around you he's less tsundere and more deredere, to me anyway. [He grins and laughs.] Deradere-kun. I like it.
[Then he nuzzles Makoto's shoulder again.]
Maybe just... try not to assume things with him. I think he needs that reassurance - the way he talked to me, he's had crushes that just never worked out, so he didn't want to expect you to return those feelings either. Maybe it's because of the Italian thing, but I don't think he likes Japanese language subtlety and propriety - like how you can leave a sentence off with "ten ten ten*" and the other person will just assume what you mean.
Of course with you, that's a good habit to break. [He smiles again] You've had to deal with Haru-chan all this time and if that's not reading between the lines, I don't know what is.
[*Meaning "..."]

[He does in fact take the threat of getting yelled at in stride, along with the hair ruffle.]
I'm not saying you should act like a Westerner all the time! But... you are right about that not feeling good. It's hard when your feelings aren't returned.
[Oops speaking from experience now.]

[Good thing they aren't dating or Nagisa would've chastised Makoto for immediately going back on the advice that he'd just given. Still, Nagisa nods too.]
I think you'll both be happier for it.
[With that he gets up and smiles.] Well then... Later, Mako-chan! Good luck.

Hey, it's Hayato, I wanted to know if you were free, um, at all, soon - I know you have your lessons with the medicine and all so, uh- can I come over?
Y-you were? [Fuckit he can feel himself getting redder. DAMN MAKOTO DOING THIS TO HIM...] Yeah! Okay, ah, I'll be over right away then! Thanks! [Does he say something like 'love you', is that too soon? It's probably too soon. Fuck!] I'll see you soon! [The last part is practically said without a single breath between each word before he hangs up to get his shoes on and grab his duffel bag.
Of course, as he's on his way out of the apartment, he shoots Makoto off a quick text.]
<3

[Gokudera arrives swiftly, knocking on the door to the house as he tries to not pace in anticipation of Makoto answering it. The boy gave him butterflies in his stomach. He needed a damn cigarette. NO. NO, HE WOULD BE STRONG.]
[Gokudera smiles brightly at Makoto, a damn reflex at this point. Like the butterflies.]
Thanks. Hi Makoto.
[He sets the bag down for now, going through the tedious process of unlacing the giant boots.]
What's the news you had for me...?
Thanks. Hi Makoto.

Haruka? Ah, that's your friend from when you were really little, right? The one who always eats mackerel. [Not that Gokudera has memorized every story that Makoto told him or anything.] That's great!
[Gokudera re-shouldered his duffel bag and accepted the hand up... mainly so he'd have an excuse to hold on to Makoto's hand.]
You don't need to do anything for me in return. I'll keep an eye out when I'm scavenging.
