They are family, and Gokudera sharing so much isn't because he's looking for pity. It's not as thought Yamamoto is offering that. It's all just to make him see why Gokudera acts the way he does. Of course, the baseball idiot is understanding. Now it won't seem like there's any personal upset between them if Gokudera's immediate response to an arm on the shoulder is a flinch. He's not scared of Yamamoto, and it's all reflex. It will change with time, he hopes.
No matter what, nothing changes what happened to him, and he intends to focus on growing stronger. Never mind who he knew there... unless he finds another version of them on Anchor. Then... he'll cross that bridge when he gets to it.
The Storm appreciates when he can be relied on. In this case, it's something as simple as getting off the topic of Amoi. And that hand on the shoulder is just that, basically a reassuring pat. It doesn't linger, doesn't mean much more than that, and he's moving with grace despite the alcohol in his system.
And just as soon as he goes to take a step, he hears the other boy's stomach.
"Alright. Food first?"
Gokudera isn't exactly malnourished, but he's not as fit in frame as he had been when he'd left Namimori. Tanagura had been rough for him in more ways than he can count. Food would be awesome. There's a buffet on this space cruise ship, and he'll totally lead them there without any hesitation.
ugh I lost what I typed up the first time. Hope this is passable lol
