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.

[Luck is on their side, because Haru answers the door. She seems a bit surprised and lets out a soft "Hahi" when she notices that they're holding hands. The Tenth seems embarrassed, so Gokudera talks first.]

Haru, we need to borrow some clothes. [He was going to leave it at that, but it sounds weird. he decides to make up an excuse.] It's for cosplay! Right Tenth?

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna smiles brightly at her, trying to distract her]

Sorry Haru, for just dropping in on you like this but yeah, we need clothes for a cosplay. I-It's for a project you see...a-and it has to be something that I can put on without letting go of Gokudera's hand.

[Giving Gokudera a suspicious look, she turns all of her attention to Tsuna and beams, taking her mind off their hand holding for now. "Well, if it's for Tsuna-san, come on in. Haru has loads of cute costumes Tsuna-san can try on. What do you need?" She steps back from the door way to let them through.]

[isthebomb]

[When Haru gives him that suspicious look Gokudera glares right back at her and holds the Tenth's hand protectively. It's not his fault they ended up like this. She'd better not cause any trouble.

The Tenth is good with girls, so Gokudera steps back and lets him do all the talking. He follows Tsuna into Haru's house, but tries to stay as far away from her as he can... which is sort of awkward while he's holding the hand of the Tenth and the Tenth is trying to talk to her.]

[reluctant10th]

I-I need a dress and a wig

[Tsuna explains and Haru nods, looking thoughtful. Then Haru grabs his other hand and he kind of feels like he's in the middle of a tug of war match right now, with the grumpy looks Haru shoots Gokudera occasionally as they head up the stairs. Suddenly she comes to a stop and puts her arms on her hips.

"I've got just the thing for Tsuna-san, so Tsuna-san can come in but Gokudera-san isn't allowed in my room at all! He has to stay outside!"

Tsuna squawks]

W-Wait, I-I can't--

[isthebomb]

It's okay, Tenth. I don't want to go into her nasty room anyway! So I'll stay out here and hold your hand through the door.

[Gokudera glares back at Haru. At this point he doesn't care if she thinks that he's forcing the Tenth to hold his hand. In fact, he wants her to think that. He won't let her take the Tenth away from him!]

[reluctant10th]

["MY ROOM ISN'T NASTY!" Haru explodes before dragging Tsuna inside and shutting the door almost all the way. "Wait here, Haru has got just the thing! Hm...no, not right, maybe this--no, you wont be able to get it on, this one is good, and this goes with it, here you go Tsuna-san, you have to wear it like this, and--"

Haru's rambles continue on as Tsuna yelps and squeaks with every new article of clothing she forces on him. This might take awhile]

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera can handle being dragged around and nearly having the door slammed on him, but when he hears Tsuna making those sounds he gets worried.] T-tenth! Are you all right?! [He tries to peek into the room, but he can't see much. Since he doesn't know what's going on he automatically assumes it's something bad.] Don't do anything embarrassing, you stupid girl!

[reluctant10th]

I-I'm fine--HARU WHAT ARE YOU--THAT KIND OF THING-

["But Tsuna-san, you said you needed to put on an outfit you could wear without letting go of that boy's hand, right?" "M-My clothes--"
and suddenly the door swings open and Haru shoves Tsuna back out with a proud smile, Tsuna stumbles, yelping as he wobbles on the heels, smoothing out long brown hair nervously. "There! Tsuna-san looks good in anything ♥"]

[isthebomb]

[Wow. Gokudera gapes.] H-he really does! [Not that Gokudera ever doubted it! No, not for a minute. But to see the Tenth dressed like that, well... it's more than he was expecting. It helps a lot to have a woman's touch. Haru really went all out with the shoes, the hair, and everything. And here Gokudera was just expecting to see Tsuna in a dress.]

You really look like a girl, Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

[and she was still fussing a little, smoothing out the fashionable red cape that went with the red dress (to draw attention away from his shoulders. while they weren't as broad as Yamamoto's or even Gokudera's, they were still a bit more masculine than your average cute girl).

Tsuna blanches a little and resists the urge to rub at his face(was make up really necessary)]

...t-that's not really something I want to hear...

[then he turns back to Haru]

T-Thanks for helping us out with our project Haru. I'll wash these and return them to you when we're done.

["Okay Tsuna-san! Good luck!" And out they go again]

He's enjoying this waaay too much...

[isthebomb]

[Okay, the cape is a little weird, but the makeup definitely helps. Gokudera stares at the Tenth for a little while longer as they walk away, admiring Haru's handiwork. It was a great idea to go to her for help and he has to pat himself on the back for suggesting it. There's no way they could've done all of this on their own.]

But Tenth, that's a good thing! We won't have any trouble fooling Shamal if he sees you like this! [Heck, if Gokudera hadn't been holding Tsuna's hand the entire time, he might not even recognize the Tenth! So there's no way Shamal could suspect anything.] I hate to admit it, but she did a great job. You look really cute!

[reluctant10th]

[He wish he could slap his forehead. But Haru kept glaring at him every time he tried rubbing at his face and he didn't want to get the clothes dirty, so he refrained]

T-That's true. Hopefully he doesn't try patting me down again. I don't think the disguise will last through that. [oh right, he probably had to change his voice a little when they met Shamal huh? Tsuna flushed, gripping Gokudera's hand tightly as he tried keeping balance in his heels (Tsuna they were only kitten heels, what is wrong with you)]

W-Well, Haru has always been amazing at costumes.

[HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN HE IS DRESSED LIKE THIS. Sigh]

[isthebomb]

Don't worry, Tenth. I won't let him touch you.

[That perverted old man needs to learn to keep his hands off people anyway. There's no way Gokudera would let him embarrass the Tenth, even if he is an old friend. Shamal is kind of a pain sometimes, but he really is a good doctor.

Gokudera holds Tsuna's hand and walks slow and steady, helping him keep his balance on those heels. The bomber is careful to look where they're going and avoid any obstacles the Tenth might trip over. He doesn't pay any mind to the people they walk past. He's too busy thinking about what comes next. They should be able to pull this off as long as they're careful. It might not work if Shamal hears the Tenth's voice though.]

Tenth, once we're there, don't say anything. Let me do the talking. It'll make you seem more feminine if you act shy.

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna nods rapidly, keeping his eyes focused on the ground. He didn't want to trip over anything]

R-Right. Don't think I could change my voice anyway.

[isthebomb]

[Nothing can make Gokudera as happy as seeing the Tenth smile. It's even better when he knows that he's the one who caused it. He's doing a good job protecting the Tenth! So he can't help but grin a little as he walks.

Unfortunately, he is no longer paying any attention to where he is going. There's a crack in the pavement ahead of Tsuna, and in a few more steps Gokudera will walk right into a trash can.]

[reluctant10th]

[yeah, cracks in the ground and Tsuna do not get on.

GOING DOWN with a strangled yelp]

[isthebomb]

TENTH!!

[...and Gokudera goes down too since can't let go of Tsuna'a hand. It pulls him away from the trashcan and down to the concrete. He manages to land on his arms instead of his face, but he still feels awful. This is all his fault!]

I'M SORRY TENTH!! [He bows so low that his forehead almost touches the concrete.] I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!!

[reluctant10th]

G-gokudera-kun, get up! People are looking.

[he whisper shrieks, trying to tug him back up. Unlike Gokudera, Tsuna managed to land on his face but he didn't feel like he was bleeding any where, so it should be fine]

I-It's not your fault, I'm the one that tripped and dragged you down!

1/2

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera gets up and glares at all the people who are staring. They'd better back down or they'll get a stick of dynamite to the face. Fortunately, the glare seems to work so he doesn't have to use the dynamite.]

2/2

[isthebomb]

Tenth, are you alright?

[reluctant10th]

I'm fine.

[he smiles, reassuring him. He uses his free hand to make sure his wig hadn't been jarred when he tripped.]

Come on, lets go before Shamal leaves.

[isthebomb]

Right! [Gokudera marches over to the nurse's office, taking extra care to watch where they're going. Once they've arrived he bursts in and yells.]

Dr. Shamal, we need your help!

[Shamal looks at them and says, "What's this? Has little Hayato has finally found himself a girl?!" He leers at Tsuna. Gokudera interrupts.]

Never mind that! We ate this weird candy and our hands got stuck together! Can't you do anything?!

[reluctant10th]

[It's not that hard to play the part of a shy young girl. Tsuna blanches and ducks his head, letting his hair fall in front of his face, biting back the urge to say something. He merely holds up his hand and shows Shamal just how stuck they were]

[isthebomb]

[Unfortunately, Tsuna's shyness only seems to make Shamal more interested. "Hey, she's really cute!" Shamal lunges toward Tsuna, but Gokudera jumps in and pushes him away.]

Don't touch her, you dirty old man!

[Shamal backs off and pouts a little. "You're really protective of her, aren't you Hayato? You're not in love with her, are you?"]

WH-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

[Gokudera blushes furiously. He was trying to deny that he's in love with anyone, but Shamal seems to have interpreted the words differently. There's a big smirk on the perverted doctor's face. He's probably taking it as a confession.]

[reluctant10th]

[Oh no-- he yelps a little when Gokudera jumps in, his arm dragged along with him. He bites back a sigh when Shamal asks that question. If only Shamal knew...

Of course they were here for a reason so he gives an insistent tug on their hands. Remember what they were here for Gokudera!]
