[Aside from Miwako somewhat enamored with the idea being a model for her, Gokudera's never really had his style complimented. Girls thought he was cool because of his bad attitude, and he's fine with that. Really, he'd rather more people think that's how he actually seems and not... a huge softy.

Gokudera isn't going to argue about running off. He wasn't afraid to fight, but retreating was a good strategy, especially when he had no idea what got the other guy so mad in the first place.]

I don't think I was acting weird. Loud, maybe. [Because he couldn't hear himself speak very well, and yeah... Crow was acting like a dick point at his tattoo, but Gokudera knows it's amusing. He's not blind to some of the stupid claims it makes about him just to get some attention.]

Maybe when you're not having some... maroon melancholy. [A tug to the corner of his mouth suggests he knows it's not a very good joke, a tease at the guy calling his sore throat a 'crimson emergency'.]

Save your energy, and let me know when you're ready.
