[It's rich, but Gokudera would prefer the bittersweet of cacao over fruity sweetness any day. Maybe it's just that he's grown accustomed to Japanese strawberry flavor being too sugary.]
Oh?
[He sets down the towel he'd been using to dry his hands, then turns to face her, offering the bottle to pour her more without asking or welcoming her to ask. She need only nod or shake her head, and if she does neither, it's getting set down.]
That's your business, your highness. Punish him however you see fit. Would you prefer I stop?
[He wonders if his company is completely unwelcome, honestly, or if Azula has simply been bothered because she would rather this have been private. It's not like Gokudera wanted to be told all of what Zuko shared with him. Him coming over was just to help Azula, not to assure Zuko of anything. Honestly, he feels they could get along and has no understanding of where he got off on the wrong foot. Wasn't that a different Gokudera?]
I would like you to leave so I can go drown myself.
[ What use is he to her not cleaning her apartment? She certainly doesn't want to talk to him, they'd tried that already when her ears went numb in their attempt to listen. Besides, she was bothered that he was privy to private information and she couldn't figure out how to unravel him, not when she was too consumed with her own issues to properly manipulate him. Or anyone, for that matter. Zuko was gone, wasn't he? ]
That is what I was planning on doing before you rudely interrupted me and I would enjoy getting back to it.
[He frowns and shakes his head. Now he really can't leave if she means that. Was her fight with Zuko that bad? He just thought his friend was being dramatic since... he is.]
[ Did she really look like the type to go through with something like that? She was just having a rocky time, but she still absolutely loved herself. Could she even die here?? Honestly, she didn't know, and it didn't matter, her eyes narrowing as she returns her scowl to her face as she peers over at Gokudera. The princess waves him away lazily as she stumbles down the small hallway to the bathroom. ]
[He could just make a self-deprecating remark, but she already told him not to. But... he's irritated her enough. He'll just go to straighten up their living space, keeping away from the bathroom and bedroom.]
[ That's fine, their small apartment still could use all the help it can get. In the meantime, Gokudera will hear her turn the tub on and the water start to fill it, but otherwise she's entirely quiet. Should he choose to leave her be, she's not going to try and capture his attention again and probably keep herself locked up in this bathroom until he's gone. Maybe she will drown herself out of sheer boredom. ]
[Probably more annoying to her than not, Gokudera doesn't intend on leaving. He'll spend the night, since he likely won't be able to sleep anyways. There's a journal with him, his communicator, and chores to take care of. The bustle really won't stop until he's deep-cleaned as much as he can without imposing on Azula's bath, or the room he assumes she shares with her brother. The front door is opened and shut a few times as he sets trash out, intending to take it out once he's done and leaving.
