This is Tachibana Makoto. I'm sorry that I didn't make it to the phone in time. If you could leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Take care
Are you kidding? I can trade those with other addicts that show up. That shit's practically gold.
[Yeah, his 'mafia' was more power rangers and good guys fighting evil kinda thing than a 'real' mafia... but Gokudera could still be pretty mercenary when needs be.]
I just need you to hold onto them until I can kick the habit again. [He still had a pack of them in his pocket in case of emergencies, but that already opened pack was all he was allowing himself. And he felt pretty proud that he hadn't gone for one since he told Makoto he'd quit!]
[Well, it was a smart idea. In this kind of place, having anything hard to come by was a useful bartering tool. Though, he suddenly felt like he had illegal contraband in his arms.]
I'll stash them somewhere safe.
[That made it sound even worse.]
Did you also want to stay over for a little while?
[Since the Halfway house had gotten so full, he didn't want to take up the living room without alerting people. So he led him right upstairs with the duffel bag in tow.]
[Gokudera followed, of course, reaching out to hold Makoto's hand again as they walked. They're boyfriends, they're allowed to hold hands. Knowing how small the place is, Gokudera can leap to the reasonable conclusion of asking,] Are you sharing a room with Haruka?
Since all of the other rooms are taken up, it's the best choice. We even have a second bed, so it's like a dorm room.
[He gets to their room and knocks before going in just in the case that Haruka was indecent. Though he was hardly indecent because he was always in his swim suit.
When he got into his room, he put the cigarette bag under his bed. Surely no one would think that he was keeping something like that under there. It should be safe.]
[Gokudera sat on Makoto's bed, trying to look casual in his taking off of the heavy jewelry he always wore on his hands. Just in case, he didn't want anything to catch.] I'm glad you've got your friend here with you. Is there anyone else from your home that hasn't shown up yet?
We have everyone from the Iwatobi Swim Club, but another childhood friend of mine named Rin hasn't shown up yet. He goes to a swimming academy called Samezuka.
[Yet another guy with a girly name.]
Your tempers are similar. Hahaha! Nagisa already mentioned that you're a lot like him.
Is it a thing to give boys girly sounding names where you're from?
[Gokudera had to tease a little bit, even if his face got red at the 'similar tempers' comment. And he pouts somewhat at the 'you're a lot like him' as well...]
[Goddamn it Makoto he really is going to have to try to make it clear. So ... So he grabs Makoto by the shoulders and pulls him real close for another open-mouthed kiss like the last time, when they were at the mansion. It's been long enough since his last cigarette, he's hoping the taste isn't too bad for Makoto.]
[Oh...OH! Okay. That kiss started out passionate that time. He understood what he meant now.
Makoto kissed back, his head beating quickly and his face flushing red. It did taste a bit better since last time. Nice enough for him to not think about it at all.
He moved his tongue inside of Gokudera's mouth, exploring yet again.]
[The next step would be to put Makoto's hand right on his crotch in hopes he got the picture, and Gokudera would be very, very thankful it didn't have to come to that. Though really, with Makoto kissing him back, he stopped thinking so much about anything that was stressing him out before. The craving of nicotine was replaced with craving more of Makoto, and again Gokudera's hands tightened on the back of the other boy's shirt, kneading at the fabric. Hayato moved his tongue against Makoto's, inviting it further in, a pleased sound building at the back of his throat.]
[Makoto leaned in a bit more as Gokudera invited his tongue more, bending Gokudera backward. His arm moved around his back to support him while his other hand steadied himself up on the bed.
Makoto let out a soft breath as their tongues pushed and moved against each other. Something about how sudden this was sparked something inside of him and he started to kiss a little fervently. Perhaps it was his need of a strong connection and a deep bond that allowed him to move so passionately.]
[Gokudera bent at Makoto's direction - there was precious little Makoto could imply he wanted Gokudera to do right now that Gokudera wouldn't be absolutely pleased to give him.
Even when he needed air, Gokudera was reluctant to part lips with Makoto more than he absolutely had to, breath panting as they'd gone from one shy kiss to - well, this, more than they'd ever really done before. It just made Gokudera want more, whatever Makoto was willing to give him.
Unintentionally, Gokudera's kneading movements began to tug Makoto's shirt upwards, and if Makoto didn't stop him it wasn't long at all before his fingers were caressing the bare skin of Makoto's muscled back.]
[Makoto didn't stop Gokudera's hands from sliding up his muscular back. His own arm had snaked around Gokudera so that his hand could easily reach up into Gokudera's hair where he gently pet him, using his long fingers to massage his scalp.
Again, being a swimmer helped with the breathing thing, so he was easily able to catch his breath when they briefly parted their lips to do so.]
[Action]
He takes the duffel bag from him.]
All right. I'll take these from you.
But...wouldn't it be easier to get rid of them completely?
[Like dump them in the river or something.]
[Action]

I'm not busy. Let's go to my room.

Should I be worried about this guy showing up?
[He needs to know if he's gotta be jealous.]
[Action]
[He shakes his head and waves his hands at that.]
Other than getting along, there's nothing you should worry about.
[Action]
[Action]
Did you crave a cigarette just then?
[Action]
[Action]
I'm really proud of you for that but....
I make you want to smoke?
I don't stress you out sometimes, do I?
[Action]
Re: [Action]
"A different calming down"...? Do I make you think too much?
[No really, he doesn't quite understand.]
[Action]
Are you really gonna make me spell it out?
[Action]
A-ah! If you don't want to say then it's fine!
