[ he checks his phone every morning before he does any of his morning training routine: pulls up his contacts list and scrolls through the names, checking to see who stayed and who left, who he couldn't say goodbye to before they left.
but this morning, he sees hayato gokudera and his heart freezes in his chest for about two seconds. ]
gokudera ? gokudera is this really you? are you here?
[He's been combing through the grass, looking for his cigarettes (stress relief) when he gets the text message notification.
[Of course, his immediate thought was that it was the Tenth - and then he felt guilty that his first thought when he woke up in an unfamiliar place was WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY CIGARETTES and not TENTH? TENTH?! WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU OK? And reaching for the phone sooner.
[But Gokudera makes up for lost time, snatching the phone up and flipping it open and--
[It's not from Tsuna. It's from that idiot.
[He almost looks relieved, catching himself in the process of typing of course it's me idi-- but then his natural suspicion kicked in.
[It wouldn't be the first time he'd inexplicably shown up somewhere else and run into his friends, but what is the chance of it happening again? Just like that? Moreover, of running into Yamamoto straight off the bat?
[Like hell. Too convenient. Maybe it was a ploy.
[Narrowing his eyes, Gokudera shoo'd a bug away from his cigarettes, then replied to Alleged!Yamamoto, wondering if they'd put a GPS tracker on his phone or something, just trying to gauge if he'd have enough time to get to the truth before the enemy showed up.
[It may look like quiet suburbia on the surface, and less like the end of the world, but that's no reason to accept that everything was OK. Tch]
[He's still giving the screen the stink eye, waiting to see what they come up with when the video call suddenly comes in - and that makes him recoil for a second, because even if he has seen FaceTime on a big screen before, his phone isn't that cool.
[But there's no mistaking that combo of annoying + obvious + gratingly happy]
Tch. Why didn't you just say so?
[Never mind that he...just said so, over text]
Where are you? [Where am I would be a good question too, but since regrouping is usually their first order of business, like a future Right Hand, there's nothing wrong with making that the first order of business and then asking 100 questions later.
[That nicotine fix might have something to do with it too. Hands-free, he shakes one cigarette loose and then realizes his lighter is missing] Shit!
[ he knows he probably has a million questions and he wanted to meet up before answering them all, so: ]
I'm at my assigned house. You should be near one too! If you look at the door, there's a number on it and starts with 14. I'm over at 1486.
[ he's already getting ready to head out while he talks, though Gokudera's sudden swearing does get him to look back really quickly. oh it's just his cigarettes. phew. ]
Haha, want me to bring you some matches? I don't have a lighter on me, sorry.
That's fine. [he huffs, with an unspoken 'thank you' in there somewhere. Gokudera is itching for a cigarette really bad, but even if Yamamoto's legs are stupidly long for a Japanese kid, he's aware that he can't just translocate to the spot next to him on the lawn, just because his smoking habit thinks it'd be pretty damn convenient - not to mention cool.
[But he stands up and brushes off his clothes in the interim, swatting at another bug before reaching for the phone. There's a moment of quiet as Gokudera entertains the idea that Yamamoto might actually know what he's talking about and he glances toward the door of the house opposite of the yard he was taking up] 1484.
This is kind of creepy. [never trust quiet suburbia!]
not really haha it usually involves money right? but i'm not sure i have enough to do that so i was thinking i could just sneak him out of there it's during their valentine's day party
