not gotten a single morning kiss from Tsuna for the past few days.
...Tsuna has probably been avoiding him. Again. =3= The boy have been leaving for school before he woke up in the mornings.
...not going to let that happen again today though. =3=
woke up several hours earlier this time, while it was still dark out, and made his way over to Tsuna's room.
found the boy sleeping on his side, his back to him.
padded over to the bed, carefully slipping under the covers and wrapped his arms loosely around Tsuna.
--Just in case he decides to run away when he gets up. |3
just have to wait for the boy to wake now.
woke up a few hours later, a bit later than usual.
had resorted to waking up and leaving earlier just to avoid having to give Mukuro those practice kisses he'd been rambling about. =_=
felt no such inclination to leave his bed just yet this time. He felt really comfortable, and he wanted to sleep some more.
, still half-asleep, stretched and sighed in contentment. It was cold outside, and it was nicely warm under the covers.
*softly* Good morning, did you sleep well? |3
opened his eyes and blinked up at Mukuro.
did not remember going to sleep with the other boy last night.
When did you slip in here? o.o
Sometime between last night and this morning. ^___^
I guess this explains why I had a nice sleep... good morning. *belatedly*
Are you fully awake now? |3
shook his head and pushed himself up on his elbows. "No, but I might as well get ready."
... Aren't you forgetting something?
blinked. "Forgetting something?"
nods. "My morning kiss~~ |3"
stared at Mukuro blankly at first. Then he slowly flushed as he remembered why he'd been waking up earlier the past few days.
You owe me 9 kisses, Tsunayoshi-kun~ ^_____^
oAo N-nine kisses? How did it become nine?!
It's been four days. .w. So that's eight with interest. Adding today's kiss will make it nine. ^__________^
*sputter* I-interest--you never said anything about an interest!
starts looking around for a way out. =A=
...Well? Or do you want to skip today as well and make it ten in total? ^_____^
<___> A-at least let me brush my teeth first?
Tsuna
wonders 16 years ago
if he can climb out the bathroom window and get away. >___>
You don't have to brush your teeth to give a morning kiss. ^___^
B-but I've ran out of chocolates.
blinks. "...All of them? ._."
There was just that one box left, you know. *grasping at straws*
... What about other kinds of chocolates? ^___^
volunteered, "I-I could check the kitchen," and tried not too sound too eager.
hadn't been expecting that. ;;; Mukuro going with him would make it harder to make a break for it.
slid off the bed, stuffed his feet into his slippers, and slinked down the stairs to the kitchen.
follows Tsuna downstairs~♥
checked everywhere he knew there might be snacks - like the cupboards and cabinets where his mom stored their supply of junk food.
couldn't find anything, though. Mostly hard candies and chips and senbei.
muttered, "Maybe Lambo ate them all..."
.........Oh. :< *disappointed*
I'll just. Go get dressed.
.........................
... Let's try another kind of morning kiss. |3
frowned. "Another kind...?"
pulls a stick of lipstick out of his pocket and held it out to Tsuna. "Here. |3"
looked down at the tube of lipstick, stared at it, and then looked up at Mukuro again. "What am I supposed to do with this?"
You heard me. ... Or should I do it for you? ^______^
shook his head violently. "Look, I'll give you your nine kisses if you really want them that badly, but I'm not putting on makeup!"
... It's just lipstick. :<
pointed out, "Bloody-red lipstick."
blinked, uncapped the lipstick and stared at it. "... It's not too bad. |3"
applies the lipstick on himself instead. |3
ignored the question and applied a couple more layers of lipstick on his lips.
puts the tube back into his pocket when he's done and held his arms out to Tsuna, puckering his lips.
... You look ridiculous. oAo
attempts to give Tsuna a smooch~ |3
backed away. "R-really, you look--don't come near me!"
moves a step closer, his arms still outstretched. |33
turns around and runs for it.
o_o! *chases* Come back, Tsunayoshi-kun~~ |DDDD *pounces when he got close enough*
shrieked when he felt Mukuro's arms closing around his waist.
vaguely thanked his luck that he was facing forward - at least he was able to use his arms to break his fall.
grinned and flipped Tsuna over before moving to sit on the boy to ensure that he doesn't run off again.
You shouldn't have done that, Tsunayoshi-kun~ ^____^
DDDDD: Y-you're not going too--
bends down to kiss Tsuna~ |3
pulls away after a while and smiled down at the boy. "One down, eight more to go~~ ^______^"
blinked when Mukuro pulled away, and felt like tearing up - the other boy had *smeared* the lipstick all over his face.
started complaining about it. Loudly. "Why--I was perfectly willing to kiss you! You didn't have to--"
raised his arms and vainly tried to wipe the lipstick off with the back of his hands.
whined, "That was horrible! This stuff smells weird!"
Jyuudai............ me..? o__o *blinks*
greeted by the scene of Mukuro sitting on Tsuna on the kitchen floor.
blinked. ...Wait, was that... blood on both of their faces? O_____O
dropped the box with the rabbit in it and rushed over, pushing Mukuro off of Tsuna and knelt beside him.
A-are you all right?! Where are you hurt? Should I call for an ambulance?? DDDDD:
didn't have time to be surprised at Gokudera's sudden entrance. At least Mukuro wasn't sitting on him anymore.
stammered, "I-I'm fine. It's just lipstick."
sat up and wiped at his mouth some more, then grimaced. "It won't come off."
glared at Mukuro. "What did you think you were doing?! D<"
Nothing much~ ......Ah, it's waterproof, by the way. You can't wash it off with water. ^________^
didn't believe Mukuro. What kind of makeup couldn't be removed?
jumped up and ran for the sink and frantically started splashing his face with water.
stood up and followed Tsuna to the sink. "Why don't you try washing it off with soap? D:"
made a face. Trying to wash his lips with soap sounded unpleasant. But he couldn't think of anything else.
pressed his lips into a thin line and squeezed a dollop of handwash gel from the bottle beside the sink, and then--
scrubbed his lower face with it. He had a hard time stopping his mouth from opening in reflex and taking a breath.
scrubbed for a full minute, and then yanked a bunch of paper towels from the roll his mother kept in the kitchen and wiped himself off.
could see some of the color coming off, but to his dismay, the stains on his hands remained. Which meant the ones on his lips--
Kufufu~ Of course not. |3 I chose this brand for a reason, you know.
scowled at no one in particular and continued rubbing at his mouth with more paper towels until his skin started feeling raw.
DDDDD: D-don't do that! *grabs onto Tsuna's hands*
blinked up at Gokudera. "Gokudera-kun...? What are you doing here?"
remembered, belatedly, that Gokudera had pushed Mukuro off him, "Thank you for shoving Mukuro off of me, by the way." =_=
A-aa... I brought Hayato ba-- o__o!!
had forgotten all about the rabbit! >____<
quickly went back to where he dropped the box and looked inside.
................ DDDDDDD:
Haya--You mean Hayato? You brought her back? D: Is she in that box?
.........She must have ran away when I dropped it. ...I-I'm sorry, Jyuudaime!!
She'll be fine? o.o At least it means she wasn't injured.
... Are the doors all closed..? D:
I think so. She's probably just in the living room. I'll go get her.
walked to the entrance of the kitchen, then stopped and slowly turned around.
mumbled, "... I don't want to go out looking like this. T_T"
... I could scribble on your face with the lipstick if you want. |D
frowned at Mukuro. "And how will doing that make it better?"
It'll look better than having just half of your face smeared with lipstick. |D
muttered direly, "See if I'll still kiss you voluntarily if you do that. Oh, there!"
had just spotted the flash of light gray fur beside the couch in the living room, and he hurried out to chase after the bunny.
had trouble catching the rabbit even though he approached her slowly and carefully. It felt like she was afraid of him.
finally managed to get a hold of the bunny after a couple of minutes of tottering around bent at the waist.
hurriedly carried her out to her cage in the garden. Hayato was kicking and nipping vigorously - he already had scratches on his hands.
had to take care not to throw her in - and once she was safely inside the cage she flicked her feet at him and ran for the far corner.
closed the cage door and looked at Gokudera with a frown of dismay. "Does it look like she's forgotten me?"
Ah... *shakes head* I don't think so.
...She might have been frightened of you. ._.
blinked, then opened his mouth to ask why. He was interrupted by the sound of a couple of girls passing by in front of the house.
belatedly realized that everyone passing by on the street could see them - and of course they'd be giggling about the lipstick.
flushed and ran back inside the house and up the stairs to his room.
followed Tsuna upstairs, knocking on the door to the boy's room before entering. "...Jyuudaime..?"
spotted Tsuna on the bed, curled up around a pillow with his face buried against it.
made his way over, hovering around him worriedly. "Jyuudaime? ...Are you all right?"
, after a while, "I'm sorry, I should have stopped you from going outside...

"
rolled over and puffed his cheeks in annoyance. "I-it's fine. This isn't any more embarrassing than running around in boxers."
added, "I'll just wait for Mom to come home. Or ask Bianchi about how to get this lipstick off. They use makeup..."
smiled tentatively at the other boy. "I'm sorry you had to see that. Thank you for bringing Hayato over."
shook his head. "Don't mention it, Jyuudaime!

"
I'd... entertain you, but I'd rather not move around right now. >:
Ah, would you like me to leave? o.o
Please stay? Or at least until my mom returns. Or until I get this washed off.
>_> Mukuro was saying something about scribbling on my face with even more lipstick...
Hai!

I'll make sure that he doesn't get anywhere near you while I'm around!
sighed. "The idiot... *looks up* Um. You're not busy, are you?"
shook his head. "Nope!

"
Is there anything you want to do while you're here?
Mm... Nothing in particular. Is there something you want me to do? o.o
N-not really. So do you mind just... hanging out here for a while?
grinned. "Of course not! I'm always looking forward to hanging out with you, Jyuudaime!"
gave the other boy a relieved smile. He was aware that he still had lipstick smeared all over his face and probably looked ridiculous, but--
knew that Gokudera wouldn't tease him. He'll be safe from Mukuro's pranks for a while.
