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.]

Ah, is that so?

[ Invading your personal space bubble starts right about now! ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Yes, well, he'll just pretend it isn't irritating, even though it is.]

It is. I think the proper term would be "disinterested".

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Here comes the friendly arm again. c: ]

That's too bad.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it? [The arm that Mukuro will ignore in favor of wandering off.]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, are they playing that game again?

Follows. ] Mukuro-kun, you're usually more talkative.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

It's been a long day. Now, really, if you insist on continuing, I suppose I could take time out of my day to kill you.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[ Is just going to back Mukuro up against a CONVENIENT BACK ALLEY WALL NOW, and cage him in. ]

Are you getting paid for overtime, Mukuro-kun?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Backing up when Byakuran presses in is a natural behavior -- and hitting the wall is an unpleasant surprise. Nevertheless, showing discomfort would be silly.]

I wouldn't consider it work when it would bring me so much enjoyment.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Byakuran's leaning in just a little closer- until they're almost nose to nose, and Mukuro-kun gets a lovely close up of his sparkling ★ smile. ]

Well, if Mukuro-kun wants to try, that's fine too!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[His own smile falters just a tiny bit, and a hand on Byakuran's chest pushes him a few inches back. The other is now grasping his conveniently appearing trident~]

Perhaps I will.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Don't make him finger you. ]

Oh? [ And now- he's going to speed it up a little, one hand lashing out to hopefully slam Mukuro back up against that wall by the neck. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[dfkjhsjhsbjhbsjhbd I lol'd so hard Well that may work, but being close enough to get your fingers around his neck means you're close enough that he can get the blades of his trident up against yours. Stalemate?]

Be cautious, Byakuran.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ YEAH YEAH that's what I thought. And oh, Mukuro-kun, you're a little close? ♥ He laughs, and suddenly, FLICKS A MARSHMALLOW AT MUKURO and breaks this mood. ]

How scary!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[...Yep, there goes the tension. Some of it anyway.]

...Was that necessary?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

Mukuro-kun's face looked angry.

[ Yes, yes it was. Here is Byakuran pressing one right against Mukuro's lips. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[And it's beginning to look that way again. He's not going to open his mouth, either. THOSE COULD BE DRUGGED. are they]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ No are you kidding, he's eating those too. Is going to pry open Mukuro's mouth in like two seconds if he doesn't nut up and eat it. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Just giving him a wary look. Finally he opens his mouth and takes the marshmallow, but he'll spit it back at Byakuran if he doesn't watch it.]

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

See? That wasn't so hard, was it? ♥

[ BACKS OFF A LITTLE BIT, because he needs some space to eat some marshmallows. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Reluctantly swallows, and relaxes, though he's still on guard.]

Is that usually how you treat people who threaten your life?

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

I thought Mukuro-kun liked sweets.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

There's a time and a place.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

There's no time like the present!

[ ...pops one in his mouth, moves closer, kisses Mukuro. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Startled, backs away - ohhi wall. Well, the weapon is back now. ]

No thank you.

[semanticedingly.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, fine. ]

You're so stubborn today!
