streetwalkers | Give me your heart and your soul

[ Standing around with a box under one arm and a wallet in the opposite hand, eyeing chocolate puff aisles!! ]

[ being bullied into going out and buying coffee for a baby. What is his life. Walking down this aisle, trying to find the coffee section and--]

...Chrome?

[Oh, groceries. Well, let's just say you might hear a familiar laugh and some familiar childish screeching in the next aisle, followed by a BOOM which is also probably familiar by now.

The shelf a few feet away gets knocked over by the explosion, and though Lambo has run off screaming, there's a tall, long-haired pineapple head standing in the smoke, looking confused and holding a pint of chocolate ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other.]

Oya? How strange.

[ ~~FAINTS~~. Turns around and starts picking up the scattered groceries, okok. Because that is polite. ]

Hello, Boss. [ eyes each in turn. ] Mukuro-sama. Are you all right? It sounded very loud.

Gah--!

[jumps at the noise. Stares at Mukuro with wide eyes] M-Mukuro?

[why did he not sense you sobsobsob. If the older Mukuro was here then--]

Lambo!

[snapping at the child who is by now long gone. Sighs. Will help with picking up the groceries and maybe they can all get out of here before management comes along]

H-Hello Chrome. Mukuro. Guess you got hit by Lambo's bazooka then.

[Tsuna, you let your guard down because Chrome was in front of you, didn't you? How silly. Anyway, Mukuro just raises an eyebrow at the two of you. Yeah he's not helping stack groceries.]

Ah, so it's the past, then.

[He's continuing with the ice cream, before it can melt.]

Hello, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Chrome.

[ The loli shouta do-gooder brigade has that grocery stacking covered, anyway!! ]

Mukuro-sama, I was thinking what to get the you of the past for dinner.

[ contemplative idk. ]

But. You are here instead. Do you want to have a visit? With us?

[stacking, stacking, and maybe Mukuro. You just aren't that intimidating when you have a loli around.

Stares for a long moment. Chrome. You were buying chocolate puffs. That is not a nutritious dinner! But he does not say this. JUST PACKING aka this comment is a skip Tsuna's reply here sort of thing]

This only lasts five minutes, does it not?

[He wouldn't mind, though. The younger Chrome and Tsuna are so... cute.]

Ah, my cute Chrome. Your tastes do have room to grow, don't they? My younger self, as well. Really... nothing but empty calories.

[Says the guy who just finished a pint of Haagen-Dazs.]

Yes, I think ice cream has milk, and it has vitamins, and that is healthy.

[ brightens, taps chin. ]

But we could have something else.

[screams you two what are you guys doing]

Y-You two can't just live off ice cream and chocolate puffs--! Those aren't nutritious at all.

[protesting]

Y-You need stuff like rice, fish and vegetables.

Oya oya? Is that so? Well then, perhaps you'd like to try convincing my younger self to live somewhere with a working kitchen and someone to use it?

[He's just amused, really. He's mellowed out some with age, but it's funny to think back on how indignant he would have been at Tsuna trying to tell him about nutrition, back then.]

I could ask Bianchi-san to help me make riceballs.

[ has brilliant ideas!! ]

Y-You don't have to move out to somewhere else I think. But you can't live off sweets--!

[flusters at Mukuro. gosh and in five minutes he was going to have to deal with that huh.

turns back to Chrome--no. no Chrome. plsno, one person who could do poison cooking was bad enough]

Um. I think you might be better off asking Kyoko-chan or Haru. Or even my mum.

Such a generous boy.

[Less than five minutes! ANY TIME NOW!

What the hell is he supposed to do with this ice cream trash, god. Here, he'll just hand it to Tsuna and go poke about the sweets himself.]

It's winter, isn't it? Perhaps instant cocoa... we wouldn't want Ken and Chikusa to get too cold, would we?

I will look for cocoa, then. Thank you.

[ -- glances in that direction, then turns back to the other two.

Bossu, why so agitated? ;w; puzzled look, but back to Mukuro-sama. ]

And -- goodbye, Mukuro-sama.

[...what is he going to do with this empty ice cream container.

now he can't pull at his own hair in agitation but you can imagine what he's feeling right now]

B-But--chocolate--! That's not enough!

Has it been that long already?

[Well, it does seem like it. So he just smiles in a somehow almost tender way at the both of them.]

Do keep me out of unnecessary trouble, hm? Rashness doesn't advance my plans.

[Aaand there's that poof!]

[And there's YOUR Mukuro, guys. Looking like he was mid-fussing at someone. Or being fussed AT, judging by the kinda grubby marks on his face as if someone was grabbing it. (Ken, being overly puppyish about seeing the smaller Mukuro)]

...Oh. You two.

[ -- what do when Mukuro-sama suggests keeping Mukuro-sama out of trouble. ]

Mukuro-sama. [ oh, noes. did M.M-san hit him, too? that seems to happen a lot in the future for some reason... ] Are you hurt?

[okay sure keep Mukuro out of trouble. Simple enough in theory. Smiles back at the older Mukuro just before he disappears and--]

Um. Welcome back, Mukuro.

[FIGURES that those grubby marks aren't from being hit since...the older Mukuro was eating ice cream so he was probably relaxing somewhere?]

Of course I'm not. Ken seems to be just as enthusiastic and as opposed to bathing as ever, that's all.

[Hold on he's rubbing the dirt off one cheek while still trying to look cool.]

Are you enjoying yourself with the Vongola, my dear Chrome?

[ -- AVERTS EYES BRIEFLY.

uh, uh, she could be better. ]

Yes -- I'm. Well. Ah.

[ brb crying in a corner, no not really. ]

But you're returned . . . ?

[not much to say here. again.

Just. gives Chrome a look?]

[SORRY TSUNA he just doesn't like you, okay? And right now he doesn't really want to deal with Chrome either. He has other plans to put into action that don't involve the Vongola, and keeping Chrome out of it is really for her sake as much as anything. Though he tells himself it's so she can really get close to Tsuna.

Either way, he's picking up the canned fruit he was after in the first place, and turning away from them.]

What I'm doing is of no concern to either of you right now.
