[It took a lot to get under Yamamoto's skin. He treated the mafia like a game. He laughed and smiled at everything and no one could make him mad but when Tsuna disappeared and then Gokudera did for more than a day even he got worried.

So he told Ryohei about it and they split up the city to look around for Tsuna and Hayato. Now Takeshi was worried about Tsuna because they were friends but he figured Reborn was with him and they could look out for each other. Tsuna was Sky and he could take care of himself. Gokudera on the other hand....that's who Takeshi really worried about and not just because he was cute when he put up his hair. He worried about Gokudera because he always seemed to be biting off more than he could chew and refusing blatant offers of help. He worried about him because behind all that rage and bluster was a wonderful guy waiting to be accepted and loved.

Contrary to popular belief Takeshi wasn't stupid when and where he chose to apply himself.So he appled himself to Gokudera (no matter how painful it got in more ways than one). He just had to be sneaky about it. It was how he had found the silver haired guy's small neat apartment. He headed there now quickly as a sense of expectancy filled him. He rounde the corner on the outside stair well and promptly fell onto some sand.]

"What...? Where am I now...?" [He sits up and pulls out Shigure Kintoki looking around. He was on a really nice beach and someone was behind him...]

". . . You did. Your future self, anyways. . . And no, we can not ask him because he disappeared when you appeared." [Blunt enough answer. ]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

[really doesn't want to think about that...instead million doller question] Why did you call me love?

. . Mooooving right along here. . .

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

". . . We should find somewhere to stay for the night. I don't like sleeping outside if I can help it."

Notso fast...

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

I'll help look but you didn't answer my question.

Again. D-E-N-I-E-D.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

". . . I was thinking about asking Juudaime. . ."

Stubborn [and purposely not following]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

He won't know why will he? I asked you.

Also stubborn. And carrying on.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

". . Well, I was informed that he knows more about the island. He's likely had somewhere to stay. . So I would imagine he would know of somewhere we can stay."

Answer the damn question!

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

[for the first time in forever he scowls] Alright Tsuna probably knows where we can stay. Now answer my question. Why did you call me love? What is going on Gokudera?

Nope.

"To be completely blunt with you, Takeshi, I'm not telling you. You may as well stop asking." [His tone was cool, not a hint of irritation showing in the least. But dammit, he had such a headache now.]

Why not?

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Why won't you tell? I've just come from hunting all over for you younger or not and been dropped where ever the hell this is only to be completely stonewalled by you! Are you still so damn frustrating when you get older?! And I bet I told you everything I knew!

Listen to your elders. I said no.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . This is hardly the point. I couldn't tell you what your future self told my past self because I have no recollection of it." [Seems unphased.] " . .So whether he did or not is not the issue at hand."

I don't understand.

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Can you at least tell me why you won't tell me? I mean, are you afraid I'm going to screw the future up or hate you if you tell me? Really I mean it's obvious we're on better terms if you're calling me love...but I don't understand how.

You're insulting me. I'm not the idiot you thought I was.

This is all you're getting. Deal, kid.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

". . . If you're not an idiot, you can work it out for yourself. It isn't difficult."

That stings.

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Then why won't you acknowledge it or am I a secret...? or worse an embarassment? [because he knows he'd never do it if that was the case no matter how much he liked the man]

You'll get over it.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[Laughs softly] " . . Make whatever kind of assumptions you wish, Takeshi, but we both know the real answer. If not now, then you will when you're older."

hahaha

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

[suddenly his entire demeanor changes] Haha! I figured it was that way. You're a lot calmer and I bet I like you even better in the future but you're still the same too. You called me by my first name. [smiles happily] That's nice.

Heh.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . Don't get too cozy. I still like to call you a Baseball Freak when the occasion calls for it." [Laughs a little more.]

Grins

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

That's alright. You don't say it like you mean it anymore....Shall we find Tsuna?
