Cloudy with a chance of... kittens?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[It was a day with nothing to do, and Mukuro was spending it mingling with the crowd, taking amusement at the differences in tourists and natives in old Rome. It was more comfortable in Italy, really -- the words around him filtered through his mind much more easily than the still slightly awkward Japanese, and there was no pausing to second-guess the meanings of signs and directions. Really, it was such a pain to keep up a smooth appearance when one wasn't entirely sure whether the person giving you orders was telling you that they were happy or spicy.

On another note, the weather was so much milder, warm and balmy, and simply made walking around generally more pleasant. Of course, regardless of the weather, it was never any fun to trip over a box on the side of the street. Quick reflexes kept him from losing his balance, but he felt a spark of irritation as he looked down to kick the box out of the way. Only before he could, he noticed its contents -- five tiny, mewing, squirming kittens.

It was a whim, yes -- but he wondered, if Sawada Tsunayoshi was afraid of dogs, how did he feel about cats? Well, this would be a convenient way to find out. He stooped to close the box, then hefted it into his arms before turning on his heel and heading back in the direction of the base. It'd take awhile to get there, but he could stand the walk.]

You're suggesting it would be better to have relations with an enemy?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

You know, you should keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. ♥

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Not that close. I see no benefit in appeasing your base urges.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Only because Mukuro-kun's always so stubborn.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I don't think you'd have it any other way.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Good. Now, I'm taking my leave, unless you can give me a good reason not to~

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Oh? You're so quick to leave today, Mukuro-kun. Running back to Tsu-kun already?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Are you jealous?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Jealous? I wonder.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

It's too bad.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I suppose it is. Good afternoon. [Picks up that box of kittens again, and begins to wander off.]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Mukuro-kun, be my escort. [ TAGGING ALONG like that persistent cold. ] I haven't seen Tsu-kun in a while. ♥

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I don't think he'd appreciate that. [And this is why we're going in the opposite direction from the base, siiigh.]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Ah, did he get the flowers?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. Now really, why don't you go home?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

But it's much more interesting here!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Being persistent is not going to get my clothes off, Byakuran.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Mukuro-kun, is that all you think about?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

If I recall correctly, you started it. And I'd really rather not deal with cleaning up after taking you to the Vongola either, so what purpose does following me around have?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

I think Mukuro-kun's annoyed face is amusing. ♥

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for you, really.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Oh? What a coincidence!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Hm. [Just going to ignore Byakuran now. Maybe he'll go away then.]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Tags along! Whistling. ]
