It's very cool. When we've got the space for it, I'd like your help on my weapon system, just to see what we could create with my flames.
[Plus he has some interesting tech that are part of his system that would be interesting to further customize, or to fashion as something that would allow them to work together even easier. Gokudera likes the idea of making them something of an indestructible team, and he's used to constantly being ready for battles back home.
Duplicity has been peaceful, but he can't seem to stop focusing on his growth, worried his time in this place is making him weak... even if there is no impact whenever he will go home (from what he's heard).]
I was actually planning on ordering some fried chicken. Christmas in Japan was more of a couple's holiday, and I never got to spend it like that... Do you and Chris have any plans?
[Gokudera's taken aback. He hadn't anticipated that Beck would want to spend more time with him when he has someone like Chris. The teen looks a bit guilty and then takes a breath, gives a little huff, and sets his resolve.]
Then it can be the four of us for dinner... Wriothesley is all moved in, after all. Invite Chris over, and I'll have enough food for everyone.
You can invite him over any time if you'd like, you know. He is more than welcome.
[He can tell Quentin likes him a lot, Wrio approves of him, and he helped save Gokudera's life. Chris may not know, and he may not agree, but the teen considers he owes quite a lot to Peacemaker, and will do his best to support him for what he's done.]
[This will be a two on two time, maybe, and Gokudera hasn't really thought it through. He just has a feeling it's the right thing to do, even if when the time comes, he may be awkward with the idea of it being a double date. His face is just a bit pink. He hasn't even told Wrio about the dinner.]
[He's certain they are, but he also feels uncertain about what other people may think. Wriothesley is much older than him, after all. Gokudera knows that may not look... good to many people.]
I feel like we get closer every day.
[He admits this bashfully. Gokudera hasn't felt the kind of affection Wrio gives him from anyone else.]
[Gokudera is definitely expecting it, but when it seems Quentin won't say anything against it, he's a little less tense. Then he mentions Chris and the teen gives a little scoff.]
Yes. B-but it's not like I want you to tone it down! You both should be very happy!
[It finally feels like Quentin has real support. Gokudera does his best, but he knows he can't be there for his friend the way that Chris can. He can't compare at all, and is actually okay with that. Part of him wants to keep Quentin close, that little possessive part of him that's missing their one-on-one time, but... maybe acknowledging that it takes more than one person, working together is alright.]
And if anyone tries to give you a hard time because you're both subs, well.. fuck it, I'm sponsoring it. Whatever, feel free to throw my name around and if anyone has a problem, they can talk to me.
[He pauses for a moment.]
Even though I know you both are more than capable of handling yourselves or whatever...
[His tone quiets into a mutter. He cares A LOT okay?!]
[He gives another gentle little huff and nods. It is good.]
Yeah... or I like to watch or whatever.
[He waves a hand dismissively. Whatever is most convincing. Clearly he respects that Quentin is not interested in him, and neither is Chris. So... if Gokudera wants them together because that's what he 'gets off on' then it can't be... wrong?]
It's good that people who would wish you ill get to see you be successful and supported by those who care about you and see that you're really a great person, Quentin.
Chris has already threatened to punch a few people for me. I mean... He wants to defend me. It's been nice to have somebody else on my side. You and Chris.
[And a few other people, but primarily Gokudera and Peacemaker. They're at least the most passionate about it.]
I don't imagine he'd sit back and allow anyone to speak poorly of you. It's just the kind of thing I would expect from someone who is your boyfriend, Quentin. You have my approval even if you never need it. If he makes you happy, then I am better for it.
[And this is much easier than talking about himself and Wrio.]
I'm going to close down Home Base for the Holidays, but... I might make something for you two to destroy together once it's opened again next year...
[And during that, he may seem avoidant and he will be, because he wants to work on it as a big surprise. He doesn't want either of them to find out just how awesome he's going to make the space for them.]
I don't know about how things go where you come from, but... I feel like I grow closer to other people when we work together to take down some impressive challenges and uh... [He gives a little groan, realizing he's probably sounding a bit sappy.]
Oh and there's a cool new arrival who might also want to smash something. I gave her the Wreck Center details. Her name's Nebula. She's part cyborg. Looks incredible. Very strong.
And I'm looking forward to the reopening then. You gonna join us?
Hm? You don't want to be around me when I'm breaking things, trust me. It gets really ugly.
[It's messy. Gokudera doesn't use the rage room the same way others do. He has complete meltdowns in the safety and privacy of his own business off the clock and in private.]
[Gokudera thinks many people look really cool when they break things. It shows him how strong they are, and he feels excited spectating. He only lifts an eyebrow at Quentin and gives a shrug.]
I'll pass anyways. It'll be more fun setting everything up and seeing how you go about getting through it.
[It's more for defence against the super strong heroes. Most of his schemes, he stayed in the background to trick his foes and not directly combat them. But of course it also looked more impressive in his costume.]

I like making you smile.

I'm going to hand out the other charms I've made... y'know... got a lot to smile about...
