Gokudera's standing by a pond in a park, throwing paper cranes at the sky, nailing them with small bombs every time they hit the breeze. He's hitting them all, he's on his game today. It's training, but it's kind of boring. He likes blowing up -better- things.

Not stupid little pieces of paper.

Bridget's not something to be blown up, but he is in the park!

Currently playing with the ducks in the pond and trying not to fall in.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Gokudera continues to blow things up, until he suddenly notices Bridget.

His mouth opens slightly and he drops the bomb he was about to throw, and only notices right about before it's gonna blow. He quickly stamps out the fuse.

"What the hell?"

He heads over, of course. What else is he gonna do? "Hey," he says. "Don't fall in the water, you'll catch a cold."

"But they're so cute!" Bridget says.

...

He has yet to notice what is wrong with this situation.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Gokudera says, "But they could also carry infections."

He grabs onto Bridget's shirt, trying to pull him away from the pond. "What're you doin' here, anyway?"

This is weird.

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

"They're too cute to carry infections!"

Really!

Bridget doesn't stop Gokudera though and he lets himself be pulled away, instead he leans against his chest and peers up at him.

"What do you mean? I live here."

Sort of literally until he finds an apartment.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"Even cute things carry diseases. You'd be surprised what cats can carry."

Honestly.

"Yeah, okay, but I see you in the bar - aren't we supposed to be from different plac .... " he trails off when he realizes something. "Wait, here?"

???!!!!???

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

"You are much too practical," Bridget handwaves at him and then kisses his cheek to show him he means well.

"Oh yeah, I guess we should." He blinks. "But I guess you and my brothers are actually from the same universe."

He rolls his eyes, looking a teensy bit nervous. "And yes, here."

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"No way," Gokudera says. "You can't stay here."

It's not a statement. It's an order!

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bridget gives him an exasperated look.

"I'm not staying with my ex-boyfriends, or my brothers, and the park is actually just fine to stay in."

Shouldn't he be more concerned about the 'same universe' thing?

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

No, he's not concerned about that at all, thanks.

"You're either going to stop staying out in the park, or I'm gonna start. It's dangerous as hell."

He knows about living on the streets or in parks, okay? It's not like he didn't do it from seven to thirteen.

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Funny, that.

"It's not dangerous for someone who can take care of themselves."

Oh boy. Hands on his hips and everything.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it is."

Gokudera pulls out a handful of dynamite from... somewhere, and waves it at him. "Think I can't take care of myself? I did this too, you know. It didn't always end well."

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bridget does a cross between a pout and a frown.

"I'll be fine, I've been fine this whole time," this is sort of a lie. "And you're forgetting that I don't have anywhere to stay."

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Gokudera can sense those kind of lies.

"And you're forgetting you do."

He pokes Bridget gently in the side.

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bridget laughs despite himself. He's ticklish!

"I hope you don't mean the Bar."

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Ffff. Now Gokudera has to poke again, just because that's funny.

What? He ruins the most serious of situations. He's a brat like that.

"Think about it, dummy."

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bri giggles louder and wriggles a bit.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to keep poking you until you figure it out."

...yeah, there's no way to make that sentence sound right, is there?

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

"We're going to be here for a while then," not that Bridget is complaining as he laughs more and more.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Man, this was kind of cute.

"I'm not lettin' you stay out here," Gokudera says. "You can crash at my place, even if it sucks."

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ok, he would have never thought of that.

"I can't!" He says, suddenly stepping away from Gokudera to avoid being tickled."WE just met and moving in generally happens after people know each other really well!"

Or are in love, either way.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"Who the hell cares?" Gokudera certainly doesn't. "Normalcy is for people who aren't stuck in bad situations."

Does he need to start spewing out stories to warn him of this?

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bridget tilts his head and gives Gokudera a Look.

"You ... Won't give up, will you?"

He knows that determination, he's the same way, after all.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Gokudera gives him a Look right back.

"No way."

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Bridget smiles.

"All right, then."

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

"Good," Gokudera says.

And Bridget gets a kiss for being smart.

[yoyo-fanatic.livejournal.com]

And that kiss is extended upon.

Because there's something special about kissing Gokudera.

[lolzbombs.livejournal.com]

Huh, really? That's kinda neat. He's never really been 'special' about anything before. Not that he could see, anyway

He's not gonna stop kissing until Bridget does, so they might be here for awhile. But then they're getting the guy's stuff outta here.

Even if Gokudera's apartment really does suck.
