fourteenth home run; [action/video]
[Blowing shit up is yet again not working out for Gokudera and deciding it would be better to hide retreat than cause more structural damage, he heads back to his room. Which takes longer than he originally intended because, catching sight of Kite, he decides to take a different route to avoid the AI. He's definitely going back to investigate that, but he's not going alone.
Back in the room, he looks around nervously. Yamamoto should be in here and he doesn't see him.] ...Idiot. Where are you? [Because Yamamoto is a teenager and he would not think to check in places like under the bed.]
[Always expect the unexpected. Yamamoto, not really used to being hit with such overwhelming emotions like pure unfading paranoia, really didn't know how else to react. Sleep isn't even an option, as it's very undaunting to try to sleep when you are hit with all these horrible feelings of failing everyone and being stalked after by creepy, mashmallow eating creepers.
So guess who's chilling under Gokudera's bed. Also, guess who's... probably a bit more sheepish about it than he'd admit.]
Hey, Gokudera! I'm right here!
[Okay...Gokudera's not as surprised by that as he probably should be, all things considered. He may not have marshmallow eating creepers on his mind, but wandering around the halls with dynamite clutched in his hand reminds him a little too much of certain other creepers with wide creeper smiles, so really, if he weren't distracted by wanting to know what the hell is up with Kite, he probably would be joining Yamamoto under the bed.]
...Fucking seriously? [He crouches next to the bed and peers underneath at Yamamoto.] Come out of there. We need to go check something out.
[Yamamoto chuckles a bit, though doesn't defend himself initially. Really, he shouldn't be cowering under his bed like a child, but he doesn't know what else to do. Gokudera was gone and... he was alone. He was afraid to leave his room.
But then Gokudera suggests leaving his safe little haven and suddenly it's not funny anymore.]
...where? Out there?
Yeah, out there. There's something I want to check out and I-- [Even under the circumstances, he's not willing to admit that he's scared to check it out alone. Not in so many words anyway.] Who knows what'll happen if I leave you by yourself? So you're coming with me.
[Yamamoto really doesn't want to go out there. Not again, not until the dreadful feelings go away. But... Gokudera has a point. Safety in numbers. He debates this inwardly for a while until he considers.] Sure.. well, yeah, guess it wouldn't be a good idea to leave you to wander around by yourself! Hehehe! [Okay so he sucks at hiding emotions like Gokudera can. He's scared. At home he at least knew who his enemies were. Here, though...]
[Gokudera's only good at hiding some emotions. And it'll be easier to see that he's scared once they're out of their room, and Yamamoto can see him jumping at every little thing and whipping out bombs every five seconds.] I can take care of myself. It's you I'm worried about.
[He stands up again and lights a fresh cigarette.] Come on.
[So cautiously - and reluctantly - Yamamoto climbs out from under the bed, taking the time to compose himself by 'dusting himself off'. He glances over to Gokudera and forces a grin; not what it usually was but close enough, pausing only to grab his sword on the way out.]
Alright! Let's go!
[Gokudera nods and leads the way into the hall, hands in his pockets as he heads in the direction where he last say Kite.]
