You are a washing machine for humanity

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[After weeks of Tsuna insisting that everyone needed a vacation, Mukuro had finally relented. He'd go somewhere, on one condition: they went by themselves. Tsuna could take everyone else to an onsen if he wanted to, but Mukuro had no intention of hanging around with the rest of the Vongola for days. So when they had time, the two of them had traveled out to a beach resort.

Thus, here Mukuro is, completely out of place in swim trunks, sitting in a slatted chair with sunglasses on, his hair loose and all over the place, and drinking a pina colada, all in the shade of a giant umbrella. He knows perfectly well how unusual and even odd this is for him, and he doesn't care. It's relaxing and right now the beach is empty.]

[ Even if a move such as this one would probably spark dozens more requests from his various guardians of private time alone (god forbid), Tsuna finds he cannot muster the strength of mind to worry about that now, as relaxed as he is.

Mukuro really is a sight to see, Tsuna thinks, and he can barely hold back the stifled laughter building as he wanders directly in front of Mukuro, feeling the sun scorch his back through the thin shirt he wears. Behind him, a trail of damp footprints lead to his wet feet. ]

Enjoying yourself?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

As much as you seem to be.

[He smiles up at Tsuna, and it's the same teasing smirk he always has, more normal than a geniune smile would be.]

Did you go swimming?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

Not exactly.

[ He laughs- all he's done is step in the water, until it's inched up to his knees. He holds out a closed fist, uncurls his fingers to reveal a perfect conch shell. ]

Look what I found.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Mukuro suspects you are a wuss -- probably afraid of sea monsters. But he doesn't say so, instead looking half-interested in the shell, and more interested in his drink.]

Lucky find. Will you give it to your woman?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ --that was only when he was younger, okay. Tsuna looks up, stuffing the shell in his pocket, laughing lightly. ]

I think I will. [ He prods Mukuro with a foot, leaving sand all over him. ] Anyway, are you just going to sit there all day?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Mukuro frowns at the sand (not at the idea of Tsuna's woman, not at all), setting his drink aside long enough to reach down and brush it away with his towel.]

What else do you suggest I do?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ She has a name, you know. It's Kyoko. Tsuna makes a vague wave at the water. ]

Swim, maybe? Beach like things?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Love rivals don't need names. And Mukuro does not want to swim.]

You know, Tsunayoshi, I have a feeling that if we got in the water, you would push me under. And I'd like to keep my dignity.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ What, too much time in that fishtank turn you off from water? ]

Come on, would I do that?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[MAYBE IT DID.]

Yes, you would.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ POOR BABY. ]

Don't tell me you're scared.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I'm just enjoying relaxing here. Maybe I'll move the umbrella and get some sun.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

You? Sun?

[ . . . he thinks-- ] I guess if I smell something burning, I'll know what it is.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Makes a face.]

I'm Italian, I'll tan.



Why, are you fond of my lighter complexion?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Italian but with a Japanese name, ok. ]

I can't imagine you tanned.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[It's a fake name. X( Anyway, Tsuna, don't you just love his milky white thighs? THAT'S IT, ISN'T IT?]

Well maybe you'll get to see it soon.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Uh. No. Kyoko-chan has nicer thighs, sry2say. ]

Yeah, yeah. Just don't come crying to me for burn cream later.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[ ): Don't tell Mukuro that.]

I'm sure I can find my own if I need to. [Yup, moving that umbrella now. ENJOY THE SUN, TSUNA.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ He turns red from even thinking about it, no need to worry.

WAS ALREADY STANDING IN THE SUN.

but now that he's noticed the umbrella--

SNATCHES IT UP

runs ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[A little bit stunned by that one. And he knows Tsuna wants him to chase -- that's obviously. But of course, it's not his style. So instead he leans the chair back, puts his arms behind his head, and settles in to get some sun.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ He'll enjoy the pilfered umnbrella then, thank you very much. For a little while anyway. But Tsuna comes strolling back a little while later, the umbrella casting his face in shadow, and he leans over Mukuro. ]

You're turning red. [ His tone is, obviously, teasing. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I am doing no such thing.

[he is, a little, but it isn't bad yet.

Either way, he'll be reaching out lazily to take one of Tsuna's arms... and to tug him sideways in the direction of the sand (and possibly the little table with the nearly-empty pina colada glass on it).]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ It's predictable, really, the way Tsuna starts, and drops the umbrella, stumbling to his the edge of the table with the back of his knees, and he sort of tips over it, with a startled yelp. ]

Mukuro--!!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Mukuro just smiles, letting go and rolling over to expose his back to the sun. Head pillowed on his arms, he watches Tsuna through his sunglasses.]

You deserved it.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ He scrambles up, with a scowl, and plunks down on Mukuro's back. ]

Spoil sport.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Hey now! ...They are such 8 year old boys. And Mukuro gives Tsuna an affronted look over his shoulder.]

And that's a reason to sit on me?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

A funny tan line?

[ He laughs, and plants a hand right between Mukuro's shoulder blades for good measure. ]

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I would be very displeased if that happened.

[Pfft, so pinned. He'll try to wriggle free at least enough to roll over, though.]

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ It's like riding a pony!! STAYS PUT. ]

Well, who's going to see it?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[...Right. :| And Mukuro just looks annoyed.]

I will. And there could always be someone else. You couldn't have a monopoly on me~

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ CHEER UP ]

I never said I did.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Not until you get off. X(]

...Tsunayoshi. Get off of me.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Never. ]

What if I don't feel like it?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Manages to roll over finally, even though Tsuna's still on top of him. At least now he can reach up to Tsuna's sides... and tickle.]

Then this.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ sdljfsdgkjasg SHOVING HIM AWAY, and shuffling away as fast as he can. ]

Not fair--!

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[He chuckles, sitting up and looking smug.]

That's what you get.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

When did you get so grumpy?

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I don't ever recall being a silly person. I suggest you spend more time with your sun and rain guardians if you want that kind of behavior.

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

I'm not asking you to be silly, but you know, it's a vacation, yeah? [ He props his arms on his knees, looks at Mukuro over them. ] Have some fun.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

[Gives Tsuna a look almost like he doesn't know what he's talking about. What is this "fun"? Really, the only thing he's called fun in his life has pretty much been mass slaughter. Playing around, laughing with people... these are still foreign concepts.]

And what do you suggest I do for fun? Let you sit on me?

[sentirigo.livejournal.com]

[ Then there's that. The one stumbling block to a healthy lifestyle, Mukuro!! Tsuna half shrugs, looking almost sheepish. ]

Sure, why not? You gotta start somewhere, right? [ He moves, plops down next to Mukuro. ] Just relax.

[69pineapples.livejournal.com]

I am perfectly relaxed without you on top of me.

[Just giving Tsuna a level look... and then a smile.]

Now, if you'd like it the other way 'round...
