would send it to Ryohei, too, but he had a feeling that Oniisan wouldn't have trouble dealing with Mukuro. He didn't need a warning.

wrote, "I'm sorry. TwT He made me promise not to stop him. I'll deal with him when we get back to Namimori... Please don't kill him?"

wondered if he could just hide in his room for the entire duration of their stay.

wouldn't mind just staying in his room, really.

could see that the place was top-class - the tatami mats were clean, his futon was comfortable, and anyway, it was cold.

had unrolled his futon and was communing with it when he received the first text message from Gokudera.

DDD: Take care...? But that wasn't his intention!

got the second message a few moments later.

.____. Coming over.....?

ran into the room just as Tsuna read the second message. "Jyuudaime!! D<"

DD: W-wait, he hasn't done anything yet, so it should be all right. Right?

looked at Gokudera pleadingly. Don't explode, please, don't turn it into an even bigger problem.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't plan on doing anything! D<

............. *looks around the room* ...Speaking of which, where is he? ._.

blinked. "I.... don't know. .-. I went straight here after we arrived."

..... Oh god, if he's out causing trouble.... TAT

Do you want me to look for him? D<

shook his head. "No, just.... M-maybe leave him alone? And don't get mad if he starts bugging you?"

added, "..... Be more mature than I think he's going to be."

shuddered. "Why am I getting the feeling that agreeing on a trip to an onsen resort is a bad idea?"

... If you say so, Jyuudaime. D:

Do you want me to say with you then?

almost agreed... he wouldn't mind staying with someone less idiotic than his Mist Guardian.

sat up and wrapped the nicely thick blanket around himself.

.... You should probably check out the place, and have fun. =w=

But what about you? D:

Erm. I don't know...?

S-sorry, this was really sudden. +_+

mumbled, "I don't know if I want to stay here or go back or dig a hole somewhere and hide in it before Hibari-san kills me..."

Like hell I'm going to let him hurt you! D<

It isn't your fault if that idiot decides to bug him anyway. >(

smiled at Gokudera tentatively.

But I'm responsible for his actions...

sighed. "... Still ended up promising him before knowing what I'm promising. I'm really stupid."

........... :<

He just tricked you, Jyuudaime. It's not your fault.

wondered if he should thank Gokudera for trying to make him feel better.

shook his head. "It shouldn't be that bad, right? I mean. It's just an onsen. How much trouble can he cause in an onsen?"

=w= A-anyway, is there anything in particular that you want to do here, Gokudera-kun?

Hmm...

thought for a moment and gave Tsuna a smile. "Do you want to take a look around the place with me?"

looked up in surprise. He'd really been preparing himself to stay holed up in just one room. But taking a walk with Gokudera sounded nice...

Yes, if you don't mind?

grinned and held his hand out to Tsuna. "Of course not. "

let Gokudera pull him to his feet.

gave Tsuna another smile and led the boy out of the suite.
