roses are red, violets are blue

[mukuro]

                                                       --sugar is sweet, and so are you.

So it goes, anyway. ♥ And things sure are looking sweet, with all that candy spread out on the table (candy hearts; be mine, you're cute, etc and so on). But be warned: taking candy from strangers has its consequences! But go ahead, you deserve a treat. ♥ Be sure to roll a number to see what side effect you get!

01. BE MINE: You are now madly in love with the first person you set eyes on. What better time to confess than today? Don't be shy, love is in the air. ♥

02. HOLD HANDS: Careful! Those sticky sweet fingers of yours will get you in trouble. Or maybe not. Whatever it is, you are now stuck holding hands with the next person you touch. Literally. The only way to free yourself is with a kiss!

03. LET'S KISS: Self explanatory! Be it a shy peck on the cheek, or a brush against the corner of the mouth, or even a long, lingering kiss-- you'll want it & you'll stop at nothing to get it!

04. SWEETHEART: Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Is that a ticket, because you've got fine written all over you! Corny pick-up lines are the only platitudes falling from your mouth today.

05. FOREVER ALONE: Let's face it. You'll never fall in (requited) love, and what better day to lament it than on the most lovey-dovey day of the year? Spontaneous tears and rambling soliloquies to anyone and everyone about how you'll never find true love included.

[of course he's talking about the dress, Gokudera don't be silly. he sends Gokudera a bit of a blank look, the alternate meanings to that flying right over his head. Then he smiles ruefully, nodding]

I'm ready to get out of these as soon as I can get my own clothes.

[he pulls a face]

Hope Mum and the kids aren't home.

[he really doesn't want to deal with Lambo right now]

[isthebomb]

Oh.

[Gokudera looks over at Tsuna's house. He didn't even think about whether anyone else would be there or not.]

I'd let you change at my place, Tenth, but I don't have any of your clothes. And didn't Haru ruin your shirt?

[reluctant10th]

["Desperate times call for desperate measures, Tsuna-san!"Haru had declared, her scissors gleaming menacingly in the light. Tsuna was pretty sure that was one of the more terrifying (and traumatic) moments of his life and resolved never to think about it again]

S-She did. I guess this is nothing Reborn doesn't already know about but...

[he stares up at his house with a sigh]

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera is torn. He really wants to help the Tenth! But he's not sure there's anything he can do. He could offer to let Tsuna borrow some of his clothes, that way changing over at his house wouldn't be a problem.

...but that would be weird, right? Sharing clothes is something girls do, not guys. Still, Gokudera wants to help the Tenth, so he'll offer anyway.]

I could lend you some of my clothes if you want, Tenth! You could change at my place and then you won't have to walk in there dressed like a girl.

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna blinks. While that would be nice]

Are you sure that's okay?

[isthebomb]

Sure, Tenth! I don't mind at all! It'd be embarrassing to walk in like that anyway!

[And maybe he feels a little bit responsible. After all, it was his idea that Tsuna dress up that way to fool Shamal.]

[reluctant10th]

Definitely.

[He can imagine his mother just now]

Well, since it's okay with you, lets go back to your place then.

[isthebomb]

Sure thing, Tenth! It's this way, follow me!

[As he walks Gokudera tries to think of a way to describe his place. There's a reason he's never invited anyone. He doesn't want his friends to worry about him, so he's never mentioned that he lives alone. Maybe if he makes it sound mature and independent Tsuna won't think it's bad?]

I've got my own apartment. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, you won't have to worry because no one's there to see you dressed like that!

[reluctant10th]

We've never been to your place before, have we?

[usually, they just crashed at his place or Yamamoto's but now that Tsuna thought about it, he's never seen Gokudera's place at all.]

Mm. That does sound pretty cool. Is it far from here?

[wow, living by yourself, Tsuna can't imagine that]

[isthebomb]

Yeah, I guess it's the first time!

[Gokudera hangs around at Tsuna's house pretty often and he reluctantly hangs out at Yamamoto's too once in awhile. There's not much to see or do at Gokudera's place. It's usually a nice, quiet place to study, but sometimes... sometimes it gets too quiet.]

It's just a little farther, Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

[nodding in reply!!

Tsuna is insanely curiously now and he glances around at the buildings they walk by, wondering which was Gokudera's]

[isthebomb]

[They arrive at a humble little apartment building. It's not rundown, but it's clearly one of the cheapest apartments in town. Working as a mafia thug doesn't pay all that well.

He opens the door to a reveal that it's studio apartment. It's tiny, but neat. Gokudera's school books are stacked on his desk, the floor is clean, and his bed is made. His comforter has several skull and crossbones designs all over it.]

Make yourself at home, Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna toes his shoes off at the doorway and takes a seat at the desk. He's not surprised Gokudera's place is neat, it seemed fitting. But even though it was small, it seemed rather empty. Had Gokudera been staying here this entire time?]

Okay.

[poking at the comforter, trying not to smile. It was rather fitting Gokudera would have something like this]

Sorry for putting you through all this trouble.

[the stuck hands, Shamal, the not-date, and now having to beg clothes off Gokudera to change into before he went home]

[isthebomb]

[It's true that Gokudera hasn't bothered to decorate much. The walls are nearly bare, save for a tattered poster about aliens and other UMAs. He'd meant to cover the entire wall with stuff like that, but he kept getting sidetracked. Protecting the Tenth is more important.]

I'll pick out something for you to wear. Be right back, Tenth!

[Gokudera dashes over to his closet. He has some clothes that are really tight, so they'd probably fit Tsuna better than stuff that's loose on him. He already knows just what he wants Tsuna to wear. Something that'll make him look really cool and intimidating.]

It's no trouble at all!

[reluctant10th]

Still...

[he hopes Gokudera wont try and give him clothing that was a little...'out there'.






should he be worried. For some reason he feels like he should be worried]

[isthebomb]

[Well, it is Gokudera's clothing, so what do you expect? Of course he's going to dress Tsuna up just like him!



Gokudera will be busy searching through his closet for awhile, but if Tsuna happens to look around the room he might notice a big box hidden between the desk and a wall. It's full of dynamite. Ever wondered why Gokudera mistook the box of soy packets in Longchamp's place for mini-dynamite? It's because he stores his dynamite the same way. Just sitting there... in a box... like there's nothing dangerous about it!]

[reluctant10th]

[plsno


He's getting a little fidgety just sitting there so he turns around, looking for something to play around with or read--oh, what's that there? Crawling beneath the desk to investigate that box]

[isthebomb]

[But Tsuna will look so awesome!

...oh, and here Gokudera comes with some clothes.]

Here, Tenth! These should fit!

[He tosses a t-shirt and a pair of jeans onto the bed.]

Go ahead and change into them. I'll be right back!

[He has to go find a few matching belts for Tsuna, and a nice jacket.]

[reluctant10th]

[HE'LL LOOK RIDICULOUS

oh, abandoning his investigation of that box]

Thanks.

[taking the clothes absentmindedly. Dropping them on the bed, he starts stripping. Away with the wig, the mini cape, the odd dress that tied itself at the back (something called a halter? Tsuna wasn't really paying attention when Haru was rambling at him) and he put on the clothes Gokudera gave him. The shirt was fine but the jeans were a little too long for his legs. He bends down to roll them up, wondering where he could wash the make up off his face]

[isthebomb]

[HE'LL LOOK AWESOME! ...according to Gokudera's standards, anyway.

While Tsuna is busy changing Gokudera pulls a couple belts out of the closet and finds the perfect jacket. By the time he turns around Tsuna is already dressed in his clothes... and still wearing make up. That looks weird.]

The bathroom's that way, Tenth.

[He steps back and points past his closet. The bathroom door is around the corner. Tsuna should be able to see it when he gets closer.]

[reluctant10th]

Oh--

[heading to the bathroom. turning on the taps, he begins scrubbing his face the best he can, trying to get rid of all the make up]

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera stands there and waits. He's already found the rest of Tsuna's outfit, so he has nothing else to do. He whistles and looks around the room, spotting the clothes Tsuna took off near the foot of his bed. He walks over to get a better look at them.

Huh. Girls sure wear some weird things.]

[reluctant10th]

[it takes a bit of scrubbing but it looks like he's gotten all of the make up off. He turns off the tap and grabs a towel to dry his face, stepping out of the bathroom]

Okay, done I think. Do you have any bags I can put Haru's things into?

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera plays around with the cape for a minute and then tries to figure out how the dress is supposed to work. He holds it against himself, one hand keeping the halter strings around his neck and the other twirling the skirt down by his hips.

Then Tsuna walks into the room. Oh shit. This looks bad. He tosses the dress back down onto the bed as fast as he can.]

TENTH!! Ah- I'm not sure! Let me go check!

[Whoosh! All of a sudden Gokudera is diving face-first into the closet.]

I'm sure I've got something in here, Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

[did he just see. Gokudera were you just.

um.

uh.

NOT THAT HE'S JUDGING OR ANYTHING GOKUDERA BUT

UH

he just stands there, staring]
