hadn't missed Mukuro's frequent visits to his classroom. Once every thirty minutes, on the dot.
would look and see Mukuro waving at him from outside the window, and. Blink or give a strained smile, at the most.
didn't want to get in trouble, though, so he'd look to the front immediately after and try to pay attention to the lecture.
would feel dismayed, but he knew that the other boy was only worried about him.
got up from his chair the moment the bell for lunch rang, and immediately went outside to check on Mukuro.
smiled and stood up when Tsuna came out of the class and walked over to him. "How are you feeling? :3"
Tsuna
says
Not bad...
shook his head. "Don't you have class? D:"
blinks. "But it's lunch. ._."
Tsuna
says
I meant earlier. You kept coming here every thirty minutes.
Mukuro
says
I snuck out. |3
Tsuna
says
;;;;;
Tsuna
says
*worriedly* T-that's not good. What if you get caught? You'll be thrown into detention.
shrugs. "I'll just tell them I'm going to the bathroom. |3"
Tsuna
says
=w= It'll look like you have loose bowels.
Mukuro
says
Maybe I just wanted to fix my hair. |D
shook his head in exasperation, but he couldn't help laughing a bit at the image of Mukuro primping in front of the mirror.
Mukuro
asks
... What are you laughing at? -w-
Tsuna
says
Nothing~
Tsuna
is
fighting off a sudden urge to mess up Mukuro's carefully-styled hair.
eyes Tsuna suspiciously for a moment. "... Oh well. Did you bring your lunch today, or should we buy bread? :3"
shook his head. "Okaasan packed a big lunch for me. =_= I told her that I can't finish it all, but..."
Mukuro
says
|DDD Let's eat it together~
Tsuna
says
Okay. o: Where do you want to eat lunch?
Mukuro
says
Your classroom will be fine. ... Unless you want to get elsewhere?
looked into his classroom just in time to see Yamamoto dragging Gokudera out, maybe to their usual spot on the roof.
would prefer that they ate somewhere with less people, but Mukuro had sort of become a permanent fixture here already.
Tsuna
thinks
that it's still too cold to eat outdoors, too.
Tsuna
says
to Mukuro, "Um. Okay, in here, then, if you don't want to eat outside."
nodded and dragged Tsuna back inside, greeting a couple of the boy's classmates along the way.
Mukuro
asks
, as he pulled a chair up to Tsuna's desk, "So, what's for lunch today? :3"
Tsuna
says
I don't know, I didn't check when she gave this to me this morning--
opened the bento box and found that it was full of assorted onigiri. o_o
Tsuna
says
..... I really can't finish all this.
blinked and picked up a particularly odd looking onigiri from the bento box. ky.dance-school.jp/teati...
stares. ._____.
Mukuro
says
........... *attempts to make the expression on the riceball*
Tsuna
says
--Pffffft.
looks up at Tsuna with that expression still on his face. "..?"
had been trying to hold it in, but it's sort of difficult, not with the kind of expression Mukuro was making right now--
turns away out of courtesy and bursts into helpless laughter.
frowned a little, looking at Tsuna in confusion. "... Tsunayoshi-kun? .__."
Mukuro
has
no idea why Tsuna was laughing. .___. *blinks*
Tsuna
says
A-ah, sorry. *struggles to regain control*
Mukuro
asks
... What *were* you laughing at? .__.
Tsuna
says
..... You were making a weird face. : |
Mukuro
says
No I wasn't. .__.
Tsuna
says
Borrow a mirror from one of the girls and make that face again.
Mukuro
says
........ .__.
turns around and tapped on the shoulder of one of the girls sitting in front of Tsuna's seat.
asked to borrow a mirror.
turns back with the mirror and made the same expression he did earlier while looking into it.
Mukuro
thinks
............. .__.
Mukuro
says
, placing the mirror down, "... That's not me."
Tsuna
says
S-stop copying the faces on 'kaasan's onigiri, then. :'D
Mukuro
says
But they're looking at me like they're trying to challenge me. =3=
Tsuna
says
.____.
Tsuna
says
Then you lose when you copy the faces.
Tsuna
has
..... no idea what he's saying anymore. D:
Mukuro
asks
... Why would I lose? ._.
Mukuro
is
trying to copy the face of yaplog.jp/cv/ti-bo/img/1...
Tsuna
says
<____>
tries again. "Since you think they're goading you?"
added, "You lose when you give in to the urge to copy them."
stops. "... Oh. ._."
... stares at the onigiri.
...... bites into it. >3
sighed and continued eating his lunch.
Tsuna
thinks
that Mukuro is acting like a kid again.
knew that he didn't have a childhood to speak of, but compensating for it in this way feels fairly ridiculous.
muttered, "... What was that word...?"
blinks up at Tsuna, his food half chewed. "Mm? o.o"
didn't hear Mukuro as he was too deep in thought. "... Not tsundere... not moe, either..."
offers, "... Yandere? |D"
shook his head. "That's not the same..."
Tsuna
says
........ Ah.
reared back in his seat when he realized that he'd been speaking his thoughts out aloud. oAo
Mukuro
asks
Did you figure out what it is? .w.
Mukuro
asks
...... What were you thinking about, anyway? o.o
waved his hands emphatically. "No, but it's fine, it wasn't anything important!" 
;;
;;
Mukuro
asks
... Are you sure? ._. I might be able to help if you tell me what it is.
Tsuna
says
Yes, I'm sure! o3o
hoped that he didn't sound too guilty or too relieved that Mukuro seemed to be dropping the issue.
Tsuna
is
pretty sure. >_<
Tsuna
is
pretty sure that he doesn't want Mukuro to know what he'd been thinking. >___<
Tsuna
will
get teased mercilessly if Mukuro knew that he'd been thinking that the other boy was being "cute". ;;;;;
Mukuro
says
... Hmm. .__.
Mukuro
thinks
Tsuna's response was a little... suspicious. =w=
Mukuro
is
really interested in finding out what the other boy was thinking about now.
Mukuro
thinks
...................
Mukuro
will
probably drop it for now and ask him next time when he's distracted. >3
Mukuro
says
... O-- *pauses*
Mukuro
thinks
...... >D
might have a better idea... 83
Mukuro
says
I don't know, you seem to be bothered by it. .w.
shook his head. "Not really."
Mukuro
asks
Really? ._.
Tsuna
says
Un.
tries to smile reassuringly. ;;
;;
Mukuro
says
... But I want to know what it is. ;3;
repeated, "It's not important."
bites into his onigiri.
Mukuro
says
But I think it is. ;3;
Tsuna
says
It's really nothing.
... makes a sad puppy-dog face at Tsuna. "Am I so unreliable that you can't tell me what's bothering you? ;3;"
Tsuna
says
D: It's not that!
Mukuro
asks
Then what is it? ;3;
Tsuna
hates
it when Mukuro pulls this act on him. =_=||
mumbled, "... I was trying to think of a word to describe someone acting cute and childish."
raises an eyebrow. "... Why? o.o"
Tsuna
says
D-do you really need to know the why? It's enough that you know what's bothering me, isn't it?
Mukuro
says
Mm. But why do you not want to tell me? ^_____^
Tsuna
wonders
if he he can avoid answering by concentrating on his lunch.
starts chewing more carefully. :|
blinked. "...... Don't ignore me. ;3;"
Tsuna
says
<________>
Mukuro
thinks
................ ;3;
Mukuro
thinks
..... .-.
Mukuro
feels
... |D
Mukuro
says
... I'll stop asking if...... *trails off*
Tsuna
says
o__o If?
Mukuro
says
......... If you feed me. |D
Tsuna
says
.....
eyes at one of the onigiri, and contemplates shoving it at Mukuro's face.
chooses the less publicly humiliating evil.
Tsuna
says
You were acting like a kid. I was wondering if you were conscious of it.
Mukuro
says
No I wasn't. =3=
inwardly breathed a sigh relief. He didn't have to worry after all - Mukuro was too hung up on being called childish.
Tsuna
says
... Yes, you were.
Mukuro
says
... Explain. =3=
Tsuna
says
D:
Mukuro
asks
What did I do that made it seem like I was acting like a kid? =3=
Tsuna
says
*slowly* You were making faces. At food.
Tsuna
says
And you looked really smug when you took that first bite. ;;;
Mukuro
asks
... And? .__. *doesn't get it*
Tsuna
thinks
.____.
Tsuna
says
... People don't normally do that. D:
Mukuro
asks
Why not? .3.
Tsuna
says
Because only kids play with their food?
Mukuro
says
But I wasn't playing with my food. =3=
sighed. "You were. Kind of. Well maybe not technically."
Mukuro
says
See. =3=
Mukuro
thinks
.................
Mukuro
asks
But... what does that have to do with you trying to describe someone who's acting cute and childish? .__.
blinked. Slowly started to blush. "N-nothing."
Mukuro
says
That can't be right. You wouldn't be thinking about it for no reason. .___.
tries to evade the question. "There was a word for it, and I was trying to think of what it was."
Tsuna
says
You know that thing, at the tip of your tongue?
Mukuro
says
Yes, but why would you be thinking about it all of a sudden? ._.
Tsuna
says
Because you were acting like it.
blinks. ._.
Mukuro
thinks
.................... .___. *realization*
Mukuro
asks
So... you thought that I was being childish... ...and cute..?
Tsuna
says
Um.
Tsuna
says
I didn't say that! D:
Tsuna
says
I just thought you were acting... uh...
Mukuro
asks
You thought I was acting..? ^_____^
Tsuna
says
x_____x
looked down and poked at his lunch.
Tsuna
says
..... I don't want to answer that. >///>
chuckles. "So you *did* think that I was cute. |3"
flushed.
Mukuro
asks
... Do you want to pet my head? |333
Tsuna
says
No, I--
Tsuna
says
.__. Pet your head?
nods. |3
opened his mouth to say that he didn't want to, but--
Tsuna
thinks
........... : |
Tsuna
says
..... Not here.
Tsuna
says
Or now.
added, "Maybe later?"
Mukuro
asks
... Why not now? ;3;
Tsuna
says
B-because lunch break is almost over, and I want to take my time?
Mukuro
says
...... It's a one time offer. .w. Now, or never. |D
Tsuna
says
I don't believe you. =w= Can you resist me if I *really* want to pet your head anytime I want?
Mukuro
says
Would you like to bet on that? ^______^
Tsuna
says
... I don't like to bet against you. It feels like I'll lose no matter what I do.
Mukuro
asks
So would you like to pet my head now? ^________^
Tsuna
feels
like he's being goaded. >:
eyes Mukuro mistrustfully.
smiles back at the boy, trying to look as innocent as possible. ^________^
really, really feels that he's being challenged. Like those onigiri challenging Mukuro. But--
can't help getting annoyed that Mukuro doesn't think he'll win the bet. >3>
muttered, "I'll take that bet." >3>
Mukuro
asks
Oya, are you sure? ^_____^
Tsuna
says
No. But I don't want to pat your head now because it'll look weird doing it in the classroom, and like I said, I want to take my time.
Mukuro
says
...... It's just a pat on the head. What's so weird about that? ;3;
Tsuna
says
... I dunno, I just don't feel like doing that now. *starts cleaning up his bento box*
Mukuro
says
... Fine, your loss. -3- *flops onto the desk*
sits on his chair, ad Mukuro's head is right in front of him, on the desk. It'll be really easy to pat him on the head now.
Tsuna
says
......
moves to flatten his palm on top of the spikes at the back of Mukuro's head.
... looks up at Tsuna. .__. "... Didn't you say you wanted to take your time?"
pouted and pulled his hand back.
Tsuna
says
I wasn't going to pet you.
only wanted to see if he could mess up those spikes and get them to flatten. That's different from petting.
Mukuro
asks
Oh? What were you doing, then? ^___^
Tsuna
says
I don't have to tell you. >_>
Mukuro
says
......... I'm not leaving until you do. -3-
Tsuna
says
... You'll find out eventually, I think.
Tsuna
says
... Besides, I already admitted that I thought you were acting cute. =3= I'm not going to tell you any more than that.
blinks. "... Did you think that I was lovable too? |D"
Tsuna
says
*thinks, fidgets* =_= If I say yes, will you go back to your classroom?
Mukuro
says
I might consider it. |3
looked away, to the side, and mumbled. "I always think you're lovable. Why else would I be with you?"
Mukuro
feels
|DDDD
Mukuro
says
... You're speaking too softly. I can't hear you. |3
turned back to the front with an annoyed huff and repeated what he said in a louder voice, but just loud enough for Mukuro to hear.
Mukuro
says
|3 *leans over to kiss Tsuna briefly on the lips* <3
froze and blinked stupidly at Mukuro when he drew away after the kiss, and--
Tsuna
says
asdflsdjlkhdalfds/////////
chuckled at Tsuna's reaction and stood up, ruffling the boy's hair affectionately.
Mukuro
says
, "I'll see you after school, Tsunayoshi-kun~♥" and made his way out of the classroom. |3
could only stare after Mukuro as he skipped out of the classroom.
hunched low in his seat when class started again and tried not to think too much about what happened. ;;;
