[Gokudera’s ears turn a bit pink as he thinks of how lucky he was. He’ll never be that lucky ever again, probably. He has no idea why either of them liked him. Well… he knew better Zuko’s reasoning than Aurora’s. They had a couple arguments and conversations, and neither of them got much of a confession out.
He nods gently, but frowns. Whatever it was they saw… he wonders what it was.]
No idea why! Nearly every single friend of Zuko’s hates me. Said I was just gonna hurt him again, and honestly, they’d have been better together and it’s not like any of it even matters!
[It doesn’t.
No matter what he feels, nothing is going to bring them back. He won’t get any do-overs, any chances to tell either of them how lucky he felt.
His hand go to his eyes, and he presses the heels in so he sees stars, then takes a deep rattled breath, cigarette still perched between his lips.]
