I'm just a loner, baby

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Mukuro is discovering that more and more of his days are spent, well, at night. It's another such night tonight, nearly midnight and he's had just a bit too much alcohol in the effort to gather information for a mission. It's just enough to make his vision blurry at the edges, and the walk home is a long one, but he'd rather not get a taxi. So here he is getting odd looks from the local Japanese, but feeling vaguely content with the world anyway.]

[ . . . has he been drinking. ]

A lot on your mind, huh?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Well, there is that slight smell... HE WAS TRYING TO GET INFORMATION FOR YOU, YOU KNOW. Fortunately he tape recorded it or he'd forget half of it by tomorrow.]

Perhaps~ Perhaps not.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ might or might not be sniffing him ]

. . . have you been drinking?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Fun in the name of duty, Tsunayoshi.

[in other words: yes.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

Well that explains it. [ GREAT, he's walking through Namimori with a drunk. WALKS JUST A LITTLE FASTER!! ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Not really drunk -- just a tiny bit tipsy. 8) And following. He has long legs, Tsuna, you'd have to actually run away.]

I found out what you wanted me to find out, and they had no idea that I did so. That's what counts, hm?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ ...and he's too tired to run, but he slows down anyway, at Mukuro's words. ]

I know. [ a small smile, and a glance up at him. ] Thank you.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. [He looks oddly pleased with himself -- an expression that wouldn't show under normal circumstances. But he catches it, and the smooth mask comes down again once he's concentrating on it.]

I'll be sure to write a detailed report, since that right-hand man of yours is so insistent on the little things.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Awww, that's cute. Tsuna laughs, and waves it off. ]

You know how Gokudera-kun is. . . If you really want, you could just tell me now, and I'll write that.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

It would probably be better after I have a bit of sleep. Coherency, and all.

[insert gay hand gestures as he talks here. And he's watching Tsuna, so he's heading for running into an old lady with a painful-looking cane.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ . . . /YOINKS Mukuro right out of that little old lady's way there!! ]

--yeah, I can see what you mean.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Nearly trips into Tsuna when pulled, but he keeps his balance and instead just gives him a slightly affronted look.]

was that necessary?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

Didn't really feel like adding lawsuits to the bill this month, you know?

[ And he flashes the little old lady a small smile, before letting Mukuro go with a pat. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

If you insist. [Brushes himself off where Tsuna grabbed him and attempts not to look like an idiot in front of the people on the street.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

C'mon. [ LETS HIM WALK ALONE NOW, can he do that-- asdkjsdg keeps walking. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[He is JUST FINE THANKS, and totally going to be all quiet the rest of the way home because he's focusing on not doing anything embarrassing.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ TIMESKIP-? THEY ARE HERE. ]

So- good night?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Hmm... [He'll ponder this for a moment, then drape an arm around Tsuna's shoulders.]

I'm not sleepy. Are you?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Tsuna reacts almost instantly, laughing and shaking his head. ]

I'm not the one who's been drinking all night, Mukuro.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Ah? I'm not that drunk. [Chuckles in return, but doesn't move away.]

I am thinking perfectly clearly when I ask for your company.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

My company, huh? [ no harm in that, right? ] What do you want to do-? Play cards?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Still so innocent, Tsunayoshi.

[He's thinking clearly, yes, but his judgement is not so good right now. It brings, perhaps, a bit more boldness to Mukuro's usually subtle behavior, and his hand trails along Tsuna's throat as he turns his head for a quick kiss.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

Mukuro-- [ Kissed! Tsuna, on the other hand, isn't so sure this is a great idea. The first time, after all, wasn't supposed to happen, and it's only kept happening. ]

-I don't know if we should be doing this.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Pulling back with a slightly frown -- yes, it's not right, but that hasn't kept him from enjoying it, and he has to admit he's gotten pretty attached.]

Oh? It's a little late to protest, don't you think?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ it's a constant conflict that wages itself on tsuna, because mukuro is mukuro and tsuna always finds it difficult to say no.

better late than never, he almost says. ]

...is it?
