16.) A playfully dangerous stranger. (Gamma59)
=99 words=
Gokudera and Gamma met not near Namimori temple during the Vongola-Millefiore battle, but in a little, nameless bar, on the suburbs of Italy.
Gokudera had been sitting on the farthest seat from the door, just minding his own business, when Gamma had rudely sat behind him and asked, “Are you alone?”
Gokudera’s reply was curt. “Do you see someone with me?”
Gamma laughed, and downed his drink. Gokudera looked for a second, but even then their eyes met. And in that second, they both understood.
“Heartbroken?”
Gokudera chuckled. “I’m not the only one.”
“So…you’re free tonight?”
“…I guess so.”

17.) He had what he thought he lacked. (X59)

“So the Tenth said-“
“For the love of whoever-your-god-is,” growled Xanxus. “Stop talking about that Sawada trash.”
Gokudera frowned. “Don’t insult the Tenth you bastard.”
Xanxus rubbed his temple. “Just shut the fuck up.”
Gokudera glared at Xanxus (who had grabbed the nearest wine bottle and started drinking) before he took off his tie and began to change his clothes. ‘Why is he so mad anyway? He hates it when I talk about the Tenth. Or complain about the baseball idiot. Or- ‘
…Wait a second.
“Xanxus…could it be that you’re…jealous?”
Xanxus resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

18.) Fists and knees and teeth and elbows. (Ryo59)

“That’s why I’m telling you that the human body is the most extreme weapon of all, octopus head.”
“Yeah. I hope your ass muscles help you when you try to push a bomb out of your asshole, lawn head.”
“WHAT AN EXTREMELY ANNOYING COMEBACK.”
Gokudera lit his cigarette. “In any case…why don’t you let the fag from the Varia to teach you more techniques?”
Tsuna, who was sitting between the two, sighed, and hoped that Yamamoto would come back soon with his share of egg sandwich.
These days, nothing is more normal than implications.

19.) Dream-burned, wandering children of shade. (6959)

“Have you loved somebody before?”
Gokudera continued smoking and didn’t speak so Mukuro took it as a signal to continue.
“I love someone too.” He said quietly, almost reverently. “And I love that person so, so much, that I want to chain that person to me.” He turned to look at Gokudera, expressionless. “What do you think about that?”
Gokudera chuckled darkly before threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. “I feel sorry for that person.”
Mukuro leaned down and placed a kiss on Gokudera’s lips.
“I’m sure you do.” He said quietly, and turned to mist.

20.) Living is easy with eyes closed. (59Chiku)
=100 words=
When Ken practically threw Chikusa into his living room, saying something about getting Chikusa’s glasses fixed, Gokudera tried to follow Ken and bomb an explanation out of him, when Chikusa lightly grabbed his foot.
“Without my glasses, I’m blind.” He said as an explanation.
“It’s not as if I’m throwing you out.” Gokudera said impatiently. “You can stay. But only until that dog comes back with your glasses.”
Chikusa blinked. And smiled. “Thanks.”
“Yeah yeah. Geez.”
And when Ken came back with Chikusa’s fixed glasses, he just turned back, smiling, after seeing Chikusa’s smile as he leaned against Gokudera’s shoulder.
