"Well you're short," Gokudera pointed out. "And your face is all soft looking." Very young-like and innocent. "Yeah well, next year will come soon enough, so you can tell me happy birthday then, okay?" Maybe... maybe if it wasn't super lame, Gokudera might have some kind of very small birthday party, and ask Tsuna to come.
"I'm okay," Gokudera insisted, not putting Tsuna down. Oh sure, he was thinking about it, but he wasn't convinced that Tsuna was ready to walk yet, so he just didn't put him down.
