Mukuro
is
in the kitchen, preparing some breakfast stew for Tsuna. |3
Mukuro
is
making something "special" for Tsuna today~~♥
scooped some of it into a bowl when he was done and set it on a tray together with utensils and a glass of orange juice.
then took the tray upstairs, prancing into Tsuna's room with a gleeful look on his face. |D
Mukuro
says
, "Good morning, Tsunayoshi-kun~♥" as he made his way over to the bed.
didn't want to get up yet, but he groaned and sat up when he heard Mukuro calling for him.
Tsuna
says
... *rubs his eyes* ...Good morning.
sat on the edge of the bed and gave the boy a peck on the cheek. "I made you breakfast~ ^___^"
Tsuna
says
Breakfast? ._.
nodded, placing the tray on the nightstand and gave Tsuna the bowl of stew. ^____^
's stomach rumbled on cue when he saw what was in the bowl Mukuro handed to him.
Tsuna
says
*awkwardly* You didn't have to.
Mukuro
says
I wanted to. <3
Tsuna
says
A-aa. Thank you. 
Mukuro
says
Well, eat up~ |3
scooped up a spoonful and tried it, being careful to blow on it so it wouldn't scald his tongue.
Tsuna
asks
*curiously* ... Stew for breakfast?
Mukuro
says
Why not? ^___^
Mukuro
asks
... Do you not like it? D:
Tsuna
says
I do. It's not a normal dish for breakfast, though. *takes another bite*
Mukuro
says
I wanted to try something different. |3
Tsuna
asks
What is it? Doesn't taste like beef...
Mukuro
says
Try guessing~ ^___^
Tsuna
says
.___. Chicken?
Mukuro
says
Nope. |3
Tsuna
says
Pork?
shook his head. :3
Tsuna
says
D: Duck?
Mukuro
says
Wrong again~
Mukuro
says
...Let me give you a hint. It hops around. ^____^
Tsuna
says
o.O Frog??
Mukuro
says
...Nope. .-.
blinked. What else is there? It can't be fish, either, but it looked like chicken meat--
Tsuna
says
.....
, unfortunately, swallowed before the most dreadful possibility could occur to him.
barely managed to keep himself from gagging as he set the bowl of unknown stew on his bedside table, and then got off the bed and
ran out of his room and pelted down the stairs towards the garden.
checked the rabbit cage and... couldn't find Hayato anywhere. DDDDD:
shrugged and picked the bowl up after Tsuna left the room, scooping a spoonful of stew into his mouth.
Mukuro
thinks
he might as well finish it up before it cools. The other boy probably wouldn't want to eat it anymore anyway.
spent maybe a couple of minutes looking for the rabbit in the garden, but he was starting to panic.
ran back upstairs and found Mukuro eating the rest of the stew.
stuttered, "Y-you didn't... use Hayato... in there, did you?"
Mukuro
says
, ignoring Tsuna's question, "The meat in this stew is really tender isn't it? <3"
Tsuna
says
Mukuro! Is that rabbit meat?? DDDDDDX
Mukuro
is
still ignoring the other boy. "...Only fresh meat can be this tender. Ne, Tsunayoshi-kun? ^_____^"
Tsuna
says
TAT You didn't. Tell me you didn't.
Mukuro
says
*blinks* ... Okay, I didn't~ ^_____^
Tsuna
says
..... 
Tsuna
asks
Where is Hayato? She's not in her cage.
Mukuro
says
Hmm. Maybe she ran off. ^____^
Tsuna
says
B-but the door was closed!
Mukuro
says
And? ^___^
Tsuna
says
She couldn't have escaped by herself! D<
Mukuro
says
Well, maybe she had external help. ^____^
Tsuna
says
..... =_= Where is she, Mukuro?
Mukuro
asks
Where is who? ^_____^
Tsuna
says
D< Hayato!
Mukuro
asks
... Do you really not know?
Tsuna
says
I'm asking, aren't I? TAT
Mukuro
asks
Have you figured out what I used in the stew yet? ^___^
Tsuna
says
;A; I don't believe you! That's not rabbit stew!
Mukuro
asks
And what makes you so sure that it's not?
Tsuna
says
B-but... you wouldn't.....
Mukuro
says
Oh I would. ^_____^
Tsuna
says
*as calmly as he could* ........... So you killed my pet rabbit and cooked her and fed her to me.
Mukuro
says
You never said that it was supposed to be a pet. .-.
Tsuna
says
D< "It" was a gift! Of course she'd be a pet! I gave her a name! I've been taking care of her, and whoever heard of eating rabbits--
gave up trying to figure out if Mukuro was lying or not and threw all of his calm out the window and just--
teared up and started crying.
Mukuro
says
............
isn't quite sure what to do.
had been expecting Tsuna to get mad at him but--
didn't think the boy would be so upset about it that he'd actually start crying. D:
placed the empty bowl back onto the bedside table and stood up, slowly walking over to Tsuna. "...Tsunayoshi-kun?"
didn't want to think that Mukuro was capable of killing a defenseless animal, but then again, there was that puppy months ago...
started wondering if he'd made a mistake somewhere. Maybe he hadn't been strict enough. Or insistent enough about keeping Mukuro in line.
suddenly realized that he had no idea how to deal with this.
didn't want to stay in here with someone who could still smile after killing and cooking a beloved pet, though.
Mukuro
says
, "...Tsunayoshi-kun, I--" reaching for Tsuna's shoulder when the boy didn't respond.
dodged Mukuro without thinking, and then blindly reached for a jacket, intending to go out somewhere.
Mukuro
says
DD:
quickly grabbed onto Tsuna's arm before he could leave. "......Wait."
Tsuna
says
*mutter* W-what.
Mukuro
says
Look in your closet first.
Mukuro
is
just playing a belated April Fool's prank on Tsuna since he didn't get to do it the day before. -3-
had taken Hayato out of her cage and hid her in Tsuna's closet earlier that morning while the other boy was still asleep.
--The rabbit didn't like it, of course. It kept clawing and scratching and kicking at him all the way. ~w~
...Then again, she had never liked being handled by him to begin with.
Mukuro
thinks
he might still have a couple of scratch marks on his arms. ~3~
Tsuna
thinks
, closet...?
wondered if this was another of Mukuro's tricks. =_______=
Tsuna
thinks
that he didn't have anything to lose by checking anyway, and maybe he could snag a thicker shirt along the way.
stepped over to the closet and opened it.
blinked when he found Hayato at the floor of the closet, gnawing on one of his sneakers.
immediately bent down to pick her up, but the rabbit dodged and hopped out of the closet and into his room.
Tsuna
feels
... .__________________.;;
Tsuna
thinks
..... what just happened?
blinked and quickly shut the room door before the rabbit could escape. ._.
wordlessly watched the rabbit stop before Mukuro, seemingly glare at the other boy, then turn around and hop towards his bed.
Tsuna
says
What.....
made a face at the rabbit as she hopped away. "...As you can see, she's perfectly fine. >3>"
Tsuna
says
T-then, the stew.....? D:
Mukuro
says
Chicken. ^___^
blinked. And thought. And blinked some more.
Tsuna
says
........................
moaned, "Oh god, April Fools."
nods. ^___^
Tsuna
is
well aware that he's blushing furiously now, and he can't make himself look Mukuro in the face.
Tsuna
feels
horribly, terribly embarrassed for getting upset.
Mukuro
asks
...You're not still mad, are you? :<
jerkily shook his head and--
Tsuna
was
dimly aware that he was holding his jacket in one hand.
moaned again and pulled it over his head, sank to the floor, hugged his legs and hid his face against his knees--
Mukuro
says
D:
went over to where Tsuna was and crouched beside him, tugging the jacket off the boy's head. "Tsunayoshi-kun? ._."
Tsuna
is
muttering, "idiot, idiot, idiot," over and over and over.
Tsuna
feels
like he doesn't need the dying will pills to burst into flame now. T_T
Mukuro
says
...............
automatically assumed that the other boy was refering to him. "...You *are* still mad, aren't you? =3="
Tsuna
says
*muffled* N-no, I'm.......
Tsuna
says
.............. sorry. Just....
Mukuro
asks
Just..?
Tsuna
says
... shouldn't have thought all those bad things about you.
blinked. "...Bad things..?"
Tsuna
says
I thought you really killed her.
chuckled. "She'd probably have scratched me to death if I did try to kill her."
sat down beside Tsuna. "...I don't blame you though. I mean, the things I've done in the past......"
shook his head. "I went a little overboard this time, I suppose."
Tsuna
says
*nearly inaudibly* I-it's fine.
Mukuro
asks
...Then why do you still not want to look at me? :<
Tsuna
says
I-I'm not......
slowly pulled the jacket off and raised his head, but still refused to look Mukuro in the eye.
knew by experience that the other boy would keep bugging him, so it was useless to be stubborn about this.
Mukuro
says
, when he noticed how red Tsuna's face is, "...You're beet-red. ._."
muttered, "Obviously."
tilted his head to the side and asks, "Why? ._."
Tsuna
says
*looks to the side* ...... Not sure. I feel warm, though.
Mukuro
says
Warm? ...You're not falling sick, are you? D:
Tsuna
says
I did feel ill for a while back there. .w.
Mukuro
says
DDD: Do you want to lie down for a while?
Mukuro
says
...Maybe we stayed too long in the shower the other day. :<
shook his head, and thought that for someone who loved pranks, Mukuro himself was easy to fool if he got serious.
Mukuro
says
You should've said so if you were feeling ill earlier. ;3;
Mukuro
says
The stew might be a little too heavy for your stomach. ;w;
Tsuna
says
It was actually... quite good, if it's really just chicken. ._.
Mukuro
says
Your mother helped me with it before she left for grocery shopping this morning. |3
Tsuna
says
A-aa....
Tsuna
thinks
that it's all right, then. He can't imagine his mom ever agreeing to cooking a pet rabbit.
Mukuro
asks
...How are you feeling now? :<
Tsuna
says
I feel fine now. .w.
blinks. "...Are you sure? ._."
Tsuna
feels
oddly... warm at the thought that Mukuro can immediately switch from being mischievous to concerned for his sake, but.
Tsuna
is
starting to feel guilty. .___.
Tsuna
says
..... Erm. I was just kidding, you know.
Mukuro
says
........... .___.
Mukuro
asks
... So you... weren't feeling ill earlier? .-.
Tsuna
says
I was, when I thought I just ate rabbit. >3>
blinked. "Oh. ._."
Mukuro
says
...I was worried you might have caught a cold because of me again. ~3~
Tsuna
says
... Because I was beet-red? .__.
shook his head. "Because you said you felt ill. .3."
Mukuro
thinks
...........
Mukuro
asks
...Why were you blushing anyway? ._.
Tsuna
says
.___. You really don't know?
Mukuro
says
I might have an idea. But I want you to tell me. |3
Tsuna
says
E-eeehh.....
Tsuna
says
>____>
got up and went to bathroom to wash his face.
follows~ |3
also brushed his teeth, and took a really long time at it.
hovered around Tsuna, waiting patiently for his answer. |3
went back outside and changed out of his pajamas.
......... watched Tsuna change. |D
frowned at Mukuro disapprovingly after he pulled his shirt on.
Mukuro
asks
Will you tell me now? ^_____^
Tsuna
says
Tell you what?
Mukuro
says
The reason why you were blushing. |3
Tsuna
says
=___= But I don't really want to...
Mukuro
asks
Why not?
sat down on his bed and watched Hayato hop around his desk.
Tsuna
says
*mutter* I was just embarrassed..... No need to make a big deal out of it. =_=
chuckled and plopped onto the bed beside Tsuna. "I'm not making a big deal out of it. |3"
Mukuro
says
I was just--
blinked. Hayato had hopped off the desk and is now on the bed, trying to squeeze inbetween Tsuna and himself.
Mukuro
says
........ .__. *stares at the rabbit*
started petting Hayato. "Did you miss me while you were locked up in the closet?" he asked the bunny.
Mukuro
says
............... =3=
Mukuro
says
...I don't think she did. -3-
Tsuna
asks
What do you mean? o:
Mukuro
says
She doesn't look like she missed you. =3=
Tsuna
says
Huh.
picked the rabbit up and placed her on his lap.
Tsuna
says
Maybe she's hungry...
mutters, "...Maybe she just wants to go back to her cage. =3="
Tsuna
says
o: You think so?
nods. -3-
Tsuna
says
Hm. I'll put her back in her cage, then.
stood up, and, cradling the rabbit to his chest, went out the room and downstairs.
didn't think that Hayato really wanted to go back that badly, but maybe she was hungry after being locked up.
Tsuna
was
surprised when she started trying to jump out of his arms. o___o
wondered if she wanted to play some more... but she hadn't had breakfast yet.
Tsuna
was
used to handling her by now, though, so he managed to put her back with only a few nips to his fingers. .____.
, watching her inside her cage, thought that she looked a bit miffed. So he got a piece of carrot from the kitchen and added it to her food.
followed Tsuna out to the garden a little while later, wrapping his arms around the boy from behind. |3
rested his chin on Tsuna's shoulder and watched Hayato, discreetly sticking his tongue out at the rabbit when she glanced up at him.
Mukuro
asks
Ne~ Do you want more stew? Since you've only eaten a couple of mouthful earlier...
had nearly forgotten about the stew.
wasn't really that hungry, but since it was a dish Mukuro cooked for him....
Tsuna
says
U-um. Sure...?
grinned and grabbed onto Tsuna's hand, tugging him towards the kitchen.
