Itto loves Gorou very much, their established relationship was much aware to both Kokomi, and Sara. Though, Sara wasn't very happy about this news. Especially since both her, and Itto used to be a thing. It was bitter sweet to hear about Itto moving on, nonetheless, Kokomi didn't mind this. Seeing that this was an opportunity for Gorou to open up to someone other than her.
"How long have you been together?" The pastel haired girl asks, smiling softly at the brunet whose eyes were glued to the map layout of the warehouse. His lips were pursed into a thin line, turning them white as his cheeks were dusted with a rosy pink. There was a moment of silence before Sara cuts in. "Do you think you have an opening?" Thus changing the topic to what they were talking about prior. Kokomi puffs out her cheeks, a pout forming as she narrows her eyes over at Gorous focused state. "You really know how to ruin my questioning time, kujou." The statement wasn't enough to phase the ravenette. Instead, she crosses her arms, her blank stare hardening as she knits her eyebrows before flickering her gaze over to Kokomi herself. "Well then, maybe if you weren't so focused on your generals' love life we'd be done here, and I wouldn't still be here." She spits, her voice harsh, but her words quick and hasty. She meant every last word, and she didn't mind having to repeat herself if the other had asked, but of course. The tension does alert Gorou.
Gorou lifts his head up, placing his pencil down and placing both hands on his hips, sending a glare towards Sara. "Maybe if you didn't get your own personal feelings involved we'd actually be done with this, because I would have been able to focus on this long enough to have this done. So, either wait, or take it outside." Sara goes silent, her gaze falling to the figure behind the male. Kokomis' own gaze followed hers, staying silent as the oni stood behind his lover, blocking the entrance of the tent now. Gorou rolls his eyes, noticing that the woman wasn't even listening to him. This was only frustrating him since he could care less that she wanted to act childish enough to look elsewhere while he spoke to her. Though, this wasn't the case, he wasn't aware that his boyfriend stood behind him, taking in the plans that the three were working on prior to their disagreement he had the pleasure of walking in on.
Gorou leans back over the table, trying to reach the other end of the map to mark a spot that they could send their troops to infiltrate possibly. Kokomi found it hilarious how the general hasn't noticed the tension having left the atmosphere. Sara could feel herself growing uncomfortable, but she held her expression. Though, both women take in the position that Gorou unknowingly put himself in. "Here, and Here." He blurts out all of a sudden, snapping everyone out of their state. "Sara can send her troops here, we'll corner them since this spot, and this spot are the only two visible escape roots. We'll have them surrounded by both parties, while me, and Kokomi attack their boss to ensure that they don't get away." The brunet explains, his tone serious, and if it weren't for Itto, Kokomi would've been actually listening to what he had to say. So, she coughs. This catches his attention, his ear twitching as he tilts his head in worry. "Are you alright, lady Kokomi? Do you need rest, or time to decide on this?" He asks, his responses hurried as his voice was laced with concern.
"I'm preeeetty sure she coughed because of me." Itto blurts out, his loud voice booming in Gorous ear which simply makes him turn around in such a hurry. This almost causes the brunet to slip, but he catches himself on the table in front of him as his tail goes in between his legs from being given a jumpscare all of a sudden. Sara on the other hand, rolls her eyes ready to leave before anything she doesn't want to see happens in front of her.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Since your whole breakdown of your plan there." Itto shrugs, grinning from ear to ear as he had a stare down with the other. Gorou could tell that the other was lying based off of the reaction Sara gives, but he decides not to say anything. Figuring that the two of them will probably end up talking about it back at Gorous own place like they tended to.
Even so, it doesn't bring Gorou any joy, or amusement talking to Itto about his past relationships with others. Romantic especially.
Upon finishing up their meeting, Sara being the first one to leave, then Kokomi. Now just leaving both Itto, and Gorou alone, beating around the touchy subject. The brunet wants to ask how much the other really heard, but his anxiety forbids him in doing so. The result being pushed back until the two manage to get to Gorous place just as usual. Of course it's at his place.
It's always at his place when discussing these things. It's like a pattern.
Gorou couldn't help but fidget with his nails. His claws sharp, and rigid, but he always seemed to take good care of them. At least..in his opinion he did. Itto was humming a upbeat happy tune, his smile evident on his face as he dances around Gorou, which emits a few laughs from him. Until the oni stops, "Okay, so-" and the other thought this was a good time enough as any to cut him off. "Exactly how much did you..actually head between me, and Sara?" His voice trails off as he begins to lose confidence in his sentence. In his conversation. This always happens, and Itto is always so quick to notice it too.
Que the awkward laugh followed by silence. "..Maybe almost all of it? But that doesn't mean I care. Do you care?" Itto asks, raising an eyebrow as he scans over his lovers' face. Gorou couldn't help but feel as though he was overthinking this, maybe he shouldn't have brought this up. "You are aware that people are gonna feel how they want, right, pup?" He slowly leans towards him, taking small steps closer to Gorous figure slowly to make sure he doesn't alarm him. In situations like this, he tends to be sensitive to how Itto touches him. It shows.
"I get that, but I wonder why she hates the idea of you being with.." Gorou hesitates, the word just not wanting to make its way off his tongue as he squeezes his eyes shut, bawling his hand into a tight fist, but his voice quietly wavers, "me..?" Upon opening his eyes, he sees Itto on his knees in front of him, before reaching out to gently take his hands in his, giving them a soft squeeze before giving the most warmest smile that could've melted Gorou if he wasn't already doing that mentally. "You think too much. Sara can be a bitch sometimes, but that doesn't mean she won't warm up to the idea of us together. Give it some time." He says quietly before pulling Gorous hand close to his lips and placing a gentle kiss onto his palm. The simple gesture making the brunet fluster, and want to shy away from such physical affection.
There was a deep chuckle that leaves Itto, causing Gorou to want to run away, but he refrains. Instead he catches his gaze in his, "What's so funny, exactly?" Gorou can't help but narrow his eyes at his lover, finding it hard to believe that he can laugh at him for getting embarrassed at such things. Gorou happens to be older than Itto, for pete's sake!
"It's just..you're so cute, I just wanna tuck you in a-" Gorou makes it a point to punch the other straight in the chest when he first started speaking, hoping to save himself from the embarrassment of getting complimented.
