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.

[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!]

[isthebomb]

[He remembers! It's just that what Shamal said was so embarrassing...]

Listen up, you perverted old man! We need your help get our hands unstuck!

[Shamal shakes his head and says in a chastising tone, "Hayato, I'm surprised at you. You finally found a nice girl who's willing to put up with all your faults... and the first thing you want to do is let her go?"]

WHA-?! N-no, that's not it! She's really shy, okay? It'll embarrass her if we have to walk around like this!

[Again, it seems like Shamal isn't buying it. Either that, or he's determined to keep them holding hands as long as possible. "This is why I say that kids don't understand romance. You didn't consider her feelings at all, did you? The reason she's acting shy is because she likes you."]

EH?!

[reluctant10th]

[GOD WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM FRIENDS ANYWAY SHAMAL. Oh wait, he was pretending to be a girl now, things were different. He shakes his head frantically. THAT ISN'T IT AT ALL.

He yanks up their hands and making sure Shamal can see, attempts to pull away only his hand doesn't budge an inch. ]

[isthebomb]

[Shamal laughs at Tsuna's attempts. He probably thinks 'she' is playing coy. "So cute." He grins and puts one hand on Tsuna's shoulder and the other on Gokudera's. "Here's an idea, why don't you two go on a date? I'm sure the condition will resolve itself when the date is over."]

A DATE?! [Gokudera is freaking out. That means they'd have to go out in public. Together. Again.] Will that... really fix it?!

["Take her to a movie or a nice, romantic dinner~" He turns them around and pushes them toward the exit. Just before they leave the room Shamal whispers in Gokudera's ear, "Oh, and Hayato... when your hand comes unstuck reach behind her and..." Shamal makes a groping motion.

Gokudera jumps, utters a strangled cry, and runs out the door as fast as his legs can carry him.]

[reluctant10th]

[WHAT IS SHAMAL SAYING THAT CAN'T BE THE ANSWER RIGHT?! It's a good thing Gokudera is quick to run away - the protest forming on his lips dies off to a slight shriek of surprise as he's dragged down the hallway, stumbling after him]

Gokudera-kun, slow down!

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera skids to a halt and turns toward his boss. He can't prostrate himself on the ground while they're holding hands, but he bends at the waist and bows down as far as he can. This is all his fault!]

SORRY TENTH!! I was sure Shamal would help, because he always helps girls! But, I was wrong...

[He's so embarrassed, and a little disappointed in Shamal. What the fuck was that perverted old man thinking?!]

[reluctant10th]

It's okay, Gokudera-kun.

[Tsuna sighs and rubs the back of his head with his free hand]

It was worth a shot anyway. [even if he's feeling a bit miffed he crossdressed for no reason] He did tell us what we should do but...

[AWKWARD]

[isthebomb]

Do you want to go through with it, Tenth?

[Gokudera will go along with whatever his boss decides. Afterall, he doesn't really care what other people think of him. Tsuna is the one who will be affected by it the most, so he should get the final say.]

I want to get our hands unstuck, but going on a date will be even more embarrassing than walking around in public.

[reluctant10th]

[he breathes in deeply]

I--I don't know. I mean, I want to get unstuck too but Shamal's suggestion was so weird. I guess a movie would be a normal thing to go to and the only thing different would be the fact that our hands are stuck together--

[thinking, thinking, thinking. also he wanted to go on a date with kyoko-chan but he's never saying that aloud to anyone ever

mentally keysmashing]

sdkjf--well...if it works...a-and at least it's you and not someone like Mukuro or Hibari-san.

[shuddering at the thought]

[isthebomb]

It does sound pretty weird, but I think he knows what he's talking about.

[Shamal seemed pretty confident that they'd get unstuck after the date, though Gokudera doesn't want to explain what Shamal said to make that point. Like hell he'd ever grab the Tenth there!]

And a movie is a good idea. Once we get into the theater it'll be too dark to see anything, and people will be paying attention to the screen anyway. Let's do it, Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

Y-Yeah, okay. Is there anything you wanted to see?

[he'll just...stay in these clothes. He really doesn't want to explain to his mother(or the kids. Lambo would never shut up about it) why he was walking around in girls clothing]

[isthebomb]

Shouldn't we find out what's playing first?

[Gokudera doesn't know what sort of movies are out right now, but he'll probably want to see whichever action film has the most explosions.]

And don't you want to change before we go? Now that we're done with Shamal, you don't have to wear that.

[reluctant10th]

[he tugs at their hands]

I can't exactly put on any of my clothes on when our hands are like this. I couldn't even take my shirt off properly - Haru had to cut it away.

[sob]

[isthebomb]

Right.

[Gokudera laughs awkwardly. Okay, that was kind of obvious. He should've thought about it before asking. He'd just assumed that since Tsuna was able to change clothes once while they were holding hands he could do it again. Obviously not. And the mental image of Haru cutting the Tenth's shirt off is kinda scary.]

Then, let's go to the theater Tenth!

[reluctant10th]

[he hangs his head. It was even scarier to experience it]

Right. Hopefully there's something good on [and not scary]

[isthebomb]

[Gokudera whistles on the way to the theater. It's been awhile since he's seen a movie, and if it weren't for the awkwardness of their hands being stuck together, it'd be a really fun outing. When they get there he looks up at the showtime list. Thankfully, there are a lot of movies starting soon.]

Hey, look Tenth. They have Transformers 2.

[It's the perfect movie. It's got big robots, which the Tenth will like since he wanted to be one when he grows up. But they're really aliens from another planet, which makes them UMAs! And Gokudera has heard that there are lots of explosions in this film.]
