Delivery!

[bakudan_bambino]

[Since they're living together, making Wrio's gift has been a matter of sneaking about and getting to the craft while the man's been working. He has it done and eagerly approaches his boyfriend with his gift behind his back]

Hey old man, I made you something!

Re: Delivery!

[worcestershiresauce]

[Wriothesley has been having a similarly hard time getting Gokudera's gift ready as well. He's had the luxury of being able to work on it at his job though and with his new job that's made it a little easier too.

When Gokudera approaches him he just rolls his eyes at the nickname, not actually bothered by it and enjoying it.]

Oh? I have yours ready too. Would you like to trade?

Re: Delivery!

[bakudan_bambino]

Huh? You got me something too?

[he rocks forward slightly, then smiles.]

Okay! Let’s trade!

[Wrio’s omamori is in an envelope, so that’s what he holds out.]

Re: Delivery!

[worcestershiresauce]

[Before Wriothesley takes his envelope he goes to the closet and pulls a very small box out of his coat pocket along with a pomander he's been working on perfecting. The box has a pair of studs he's been saving to get Gokudera.]

For you, mon etoile.

[He takes the envelope in exchange and opens it, holding the charm carefully in his hand.]
Comme ce charme est joli, 'Dera what does it say?

Re: Delivery!

[bakudan_bambino]

A fruit…?

[Gokudera admires the pomander curiously it looks… pretty. Before opening the box containing the earrings, he watches as Wrio inspects the omamori.]

I made it! It’s a charm for health you can keep with you.

[He looks down at the studs.]

I only have the one piercing…

[Gokudera says soft and with an apologetic tone.]

Re: Delivery!

[worcestershiresauce]

It's a tradition where I'm from. But I heard that more than fruit is also a good gift here.

[He smiles lovingly at the charm and attaches it to his vision over his chest.]

Thank you, I love it Gokudera.

[He gives his boyfriend a kiss on the cheek.]

That's okay, if you're alright with it I can pierce your ear. I know how to.

[bakudan_bambino]

You made it?

[Gokudera turns the citrus fruit around to admire the little things -cloves- stuck inside it. Then, he sniffs it. It's really nice! He looks up, and seems pleased to notice that Wrio is already wearing the omamori.]

You do? Good! I- you want to? [He touches his cheek gently where it'd been kissed and smiles, giving his boyfriend a nod.]

I'd like to wear them.

[worcestershiresauce]

I did, isn't as easy as it looks. Cloves kept breaking in my fingers.

[He does still sort of smell like them too, a nice spiced citrus scent.]

If you're okay with me doing the piercing. I'll make sure it's nearly painless.

[bakudan_bambino]

I'm not worried about pain, Wrio.

[He may complain when Uri scratches him, but piercings he can at least brace for, and it's not like it's a completely unexpected sensation.]

I already have one piercing, but it's not gonna look right with these. So yeah, if you want to pierce my lobes, I think I'd like that...

[And he will never object to having Wrio close, especially when he smells like he does and he's always comforting and safe for Gokudera to be around.]

[worcestershiresauce]

[A soft chuckle leaves him as he leans in and touches one of his ears lightly.]

You almost make it sound romantic with how you said that.

[It is romantic though he doesn't want to admit it.]

I think you'd look lovely with a bunch of piercings on your ears one day.

[bakudan_bambino]

Romantic?

[He sputters a little, then turns his head so more of his ear is readily accessible to his boyfriend. There's a single piercing higher up, the earring like a metal cuff against his cartilage.]

Did you want to do it now or uh... wait until later?

[Gokudera's excited to wear the earrings. Sparkles aren't anything he'd be bothered wearing, especially because his ears aren't always visible. Maybe if he gets his hair cut...]

[worcestershiresauce]

I think now's perfect. We can both wear each others gifts.

[He lets his fingers trail down to the lobe, pressing a little where he's thinking of piercing those ears.]</small I got a little kit. It's nothing fancy but if we numb your ears first it should be fine. I can do that easily with my ice.

[bakudan_bambino]

Alright... in the bathroom? The kitchen? Our room?

[He feels like his heart skips a beat when he calls it 'their' room and it isn't just 'his'. Gokudera is trying not to give away how excited he is, remains calm, and maybe even a little nervous. But it's really got nothing to do with the piercings.]

[worcestershiresauce]

Bathroom. I don't know how much of a bleeder you are and I rather have an easy clean up.

[Blood doesn't bother him but he rather keep his love clean. He does let go of his ear and heads to where some of his stuff is and grabs the kit he purchased along with the earrings.]

So both on the lobe you think?

[bakudan_bambino]

The last one didn't bleed too badly.

[Gokudera remembers a slight sting, and maybe Yosano had relished the pain she'd caused him. He doesn't imagine Wrio will do anything close to that. He moves to the bathroom, putting the seat and toilet lid down to sit upon it and wait, looking at the sink and the kit.]

Yeah, one on each lobe.

[worcestershiresauce]

[The kit is a bit different than what he's used to, easier so he doesn't worry he can use it. He does take a towel to test it out on first before he does Gokudera's ear though. It's so quick that he wonders if maybe he can give himself more piercings later too. With it set up he puts it down ont he sink counter and then takes some alcohol wipes to lean Gokudera's lobes with. It's a little cold but what's colder is his fingers touching it enough to almost instantly numb his ears.]

Ready?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera sits up straight and gives a soft little hum.]

You wanna mark my ears first to make sure they'll be even?

[He then smirks as his ears are cleaned, at the way Wrio is taking such care with him.]

[worcestershiresauce]

Don't need to. I'm good at eyeballing. Might not be able to see many colors but my visions perfect.

[He says as if Gokudera knew at all this time that Wriothesley couldn't see all the colors and just gets ready to pierce the first lobe. It goes in clean and quick and he's quick to get a bit of tissue to press on the new wound to stop any possible bleeding.]

How was that 'Dera?

[bakudan_bambino]

You can't see many colors?

[Gokudera's not sure what that means or what the color of a mark may have to do with ensuring they're even.]

Stings a little, but it's not too bad.

[He takes up the new earrings, and offers one to Wrio so he can put it through the new hole in his love before it gets a chance to swell. Gokudera would rather this part go quicker, because the stinging is gone, but it will get hot an ache if it's anything like his other piercing.]

[worcestershiresauce]

Yeah...didn't I mention that before? I see everything in blues, yellows or grey.

[He takes the first earring and puts it on Gokudera, followed by his thumb and index fingers which glow for a moment as he ices the lobe with his fingers and magic, making the ear a lot colder.]

Does that help a little?

[He won't let go fo the lobe until gokudera tells him it's cold enough.]

[bakudan_bambino]

No...

[Gokudera looks confused and a bit apologetic, then the cold is at his ear and it doesn't burn but it is very cold. He tenses up a little.]

Uh- yeah...

[He lifts a hand to Wrio's wrist.]

Thanks. Wanna do the other one now?

[worcestershiresauce]

Oh..well yeah I can't really see any other colors. Like your eyes.

[When the hand touches his wrist he lets go and stops the ice.]

Yeah I can do the other ear now.

[He moves and crouches down in front of gokudera, holding his face and staring at him dead on so he can figure out where to put the other earring, staring at him in the process.]

Have I told you how cute you are today yet?

[bakudan_bambino]

Oh... you're not missing too much.

[Gokudera looks at Wrio, waiting for him to find the right place for the second ear piercing. Then he's blinking in surprise at the remark.]

Huh? We both know I can get cuter than this...

[worcestershiresauce]

I think I might be. I can't tell what colors your eyes are but they look like a strange yellow to me...still beautiful though.

[He leans in and gives Gokudera a kiss before pulling back and grabbing the gun.]

Oh you can always be cuter but still even like this I...

[He pauses and shakes his head before smiling.]

Let's do this other ear now, right?

[bakudan_bambino]

They're green... like... pale dried leaves

[He leans into the kiss and hums before turning his head to make the piercing easier.]

Ready when you are.
