COURTSHIP

—

As soon as Yamamoto's pleased 'yes,' leaves his lips upon Gokudera's proposal — well, by default, Yamamoto's proposal — of courtship, Gokudera hadn't hesitated to get up from where they'd been resting on the trunk of a sakura tree.

"Huh?" Yamamoto blinks. "Where are you going?"

"Ugh. You—" Gokudera rubs furiously at his hair. "You rub me wrong all the ways about being an Omega. Seriously, what's with you?"

Yamamoto's grin turns almost daring. "You don't seem to hate it."

I don't. Yamamoto seems to not have an ounce of care about being an Omega. He treats his heats like an insect that can be smacked away, and goes along with his instincts without a second-thought.

(Once, when Yamamoto was nearing his heat, he caught him subtly scenting Hibari's arm, and he gawked when Hibari pretended to not have even noticed it.)

So carefree, careless he could say, it's just befitting of a Rain Guardian.

Originally, Gokudera should've brought some sort of courting gift with him first before initiating anything. But he hadn't really expected for this to happen, so...

Well. It's not like Yamamoto's the type to care about such things — hell, he didn't know a damn thing about courting (a given at this point), and it's not like Gokudera's really a master of courtship either, but.

He knew the basics at least, damn it, and he wanted to give the sport-obsessed moron the absolute best experience if they were going through with this.

They could still do this. Just in the wrong order. (Well, they were already going at this in the wrong order when Yamamoto had built that nest back then. Could that have been an indication of interest? Who knows. Gokudera refuses to admit that he keeps Yamamoto's scented clothes close to him. Ah, another thing they should've saved later on in the courtship. Damn. They were practically skipping several levels ahead.)

"We're even going about this courtship wrong. I'm going about this courtship wrong," Gokudera groans at the memories. "Your indifference in everything is contagious!"

Yamamoto lets out a confused laugh, the scent of content and happy going through the air. "Huh? What do you mean, Gokudera-kun?"

"I can't court you until we've properly asked for the pack Alpha's blessing," Gokudera blows a puff of air. "Also, your dad too."

"Huh? So we can't we just get together?" Yamamoto tilts his head like a confused puppy. Gokudera can't fall for it. "Why not?"

"Because, there's a difference in courting and dating," Gokudera says in frustration — his Alpha wants to court the Omega properly, and he does too. He wants to give Takeshi the absolute best experience, wants to take him out on cliché little dates, give him courting gifts, and all the sappy shit like that.

Sure, he could do that while they were dating too, but courting's just different—

At Gokudera's growingly frustrated look, Yamamoto softens, body going lax. "Okay. Got it. We'll ask Tsuna and pops then, and then we'll be courting like an official couple, right?"

"Idiot!" Gokudera huffs, but he's long calmed down from Yamamoto's placating tone. "Most people would be nervous about things like that."

"Nah, nah," The Omega flaps a hand, scent beckoning Gokudera. "Calm down. Everything will work out just fine."
