also able to spy a bit of bandage he wasn't able to properly tuck in his shirt.

how often Hibari gets injured when he's out for his sorties with the Disciplinary Committee.

if she should offer to check if he wrapped himself up properly or something...

now (trying not to limp) limping out of the kitchen area. "Call me lunch is ready."

just gotten off the phone. "Sure thing, hon."

turns to Chrome after Kyouya's gone. "Injured again."

nods. "The Discplinary Committee... seems very busy even when school is out for the summer."

If that was Cavallone-san on the phone earlier

...Well, I think his activities have expanded beyond the D.C. now...

Ah, and yes, it was. Cavallone should be over any minute now.

...You could say I called him in for damage control. :3

straightens his jacket before he presses the doorbell~

Hou. That was faster than I had expected.

stands up to answer it.

catches his breath for a bit. He did rush through 9 blocks to get here right away.

if he can get Romario to return that bike he stole.

raises an eyebrow and peers down at the wheezing Italian package on her doorstep.

That was fast.

steps back to let Dino in. "Chrome, Cavallone's here~"

bows "Thank you for inviting me for lunch, Kaoko-obaasan!"

walks in, his head still bent low as he waves to Chrome. "Ohgehnki deh, Chrome-chan?"

nervous to be an invited guest in Hibari's home. Not because it's bad, but he feels like he's being judged as Hibari's husband.

he foreshadows too much with that husband bit. >w< Kyaaa~

walks out to the living room and bows to Dino, smiling "Buon Pomeriggio, Signore Cavallone. I'm well. You?"

smiles back "Che è stato veramente grande Chrome! Che sto facendo bene. Grazie!"

hangs back, watching their exchange.

out loud "I suppose I should call Kyouya~" on purpose.

Cavallone will take the bait.

impressed with Chrome's Italian!

hears Kyouya's name! ( *w*) "Oh! Kyouya's home~"

blinks at that quick stream of Italian. "... ah, hai" she manages to mumble >_< ( *mental note to check dictionary later* )

"Kaoko-obaasan, is it alright if I go up to call him?"

work on those JAPANESE MANNERS!

...Just as planned. :3

Go ahead~

whimsically climbs up the stairs~ "Hibachuu~ Papa's hoem~"

chuckles as soon as Cavallone's gone.

That was easy.

very amused. *Hibachuu*? xD Dino was like a hyperactive slice of Italian sunshine making its way up the stairs

Cavallone-san is very... fun to have around, isn't he? Not like the typical boss I thought someone should be...

bustling around in the kitchen. "He's an accidental boss. Sometimes, that's the best kind."

follows Kaoko back to the kitchen. "Accidental? Like the boss?"

Mm, something like that...

Mind setting the table, dear?

walks to the cabinet and starts to take out plates and glasses for four. "... I hope the boss turns out to be a great boss. Like Dino-san."

... even greater.

Ah, well~ that's something that we're yet to see.

that the process on how Tsuna gets there will be interesting. She works quickly and finishes setting the table goes beside Kaoko

what's for lunch then?

Ramen this time. Cavallone's expecting it... although, I have a feeling we're going to end up eating without them. :3

blinks at this and immediately goes red at the thought. "A-ah, I should change the spoons and forks to chopsticks then.."

chuckles at the girl's expression.

Does it disturb you?

shakes her head as she places the chopsticks beside the plates. Bowls, she should be replacing those with bowls too...

Not... not particularly. I mean... they like each other, right? So it's just... natural...

That's a very mature way of looking at it. :0

Sh-should there be another way of looking at it? I- I don't know...

Well, I was thinking that you might have been embarrassed by it. Or...

chuckles and opts not to continue that statement.

that she's a bit over being embarassed by it, but... only curious of it...

"...or what Kaoko-san?", curiously.

Nothing, nothing~

comes down the stairs laughing, carrying a Hibari down the stairs.

Obachan, I could smell your broth from Kyouya's room~~ <3 <3

watches them, with raised eyebrows.

they look like a really fucked-up married couple.

....Obachan.

like curling up into a little ball and disappearing right about now.

Take a seat, you two~ O

*I'll serve the food in a bit.

disappears into the kitchen.

sits Hibari on an empty seat. Dino casually takes the seat beside it, and smiles at Chrome-chan~

"Obaba~~ your food smells so good, I'm hungry~~ <3<3"

if Dino's Japanese is just flawed, or if he's carrying on like that on purpose.

also ignoring the look on Chrome's face. He swears to himself that this is the last time he will ever allow Dino to carry him anywhere. >_<

as though she's suddenly been saddled with another puppy. Why couldn't her nephew fall in love with more sensible people? ~_~

eventually comes around with the food. "...Here."

face lights up "AH~~ HIBARIMEEN~~"

his whole body warm up with just a sip of the soup. "Kaoko-obaba... your soup... is amazing." ( =w=)

Of course it is. Eat up, everyone.
