When life gives you lemons, you may make lemonade out of it, you may eat it straight out or do whatever you want to do with it. But remember, never take out the tequila unless you're prepared to face the unpredictable.
~When Life Gives You Lemons
Chapter 1: Lemons and Boredom
The sun shone brightly while cirrus clouds drifted artistically across the sky. The sky indicated good weather and because of this assumed good weather, everyone expected a good day, however; not because everyone expected a good day means everyone is going to have a good day. Some people are just not meant to have what they want –at least not all the time. But you see, sometimes, it's not the matter of luck, it's the matter of facing the consequences for ones actions. No matter who you are, what you are or whatsoever, you have to face the consequences for your actions. Everyone has to. No exceptions.
'Shit… Can anybody explain to me why I'm in the same bed as Hibari Kyoya, wearing nothing but a goddamn blanket and a fucking wedding ring?'
Not even Rokudo Mukuro is exempted from this reality.
If only he had not allowed that infant to drag him into this...
If only those lemons weren't there when they were bored…
If only he didn't buy a bottle of tequila…
If only he didn't provoke Hibari to have a tequila drinking contest with him despite knowing that he had a low tolerance of alcohol...
Then he wouldn't be lying on the same bed as his rival, wearing nothing but a blanket and a wedding ring… legally married to him.
But no, he allowed himself to be dragged, those lemons were there, they were bored, he bought the bottle and he provoked him into having that contest despite knowing that he can't handle alcohol well, which is why…
Right now, he is lying on the same bed as his sworn enemy, wearing nothing but a blanket and a wedding ring –legally married to Hibari Kyoya.
It was their eighteenth night in Mafia Land and the two had already done everything they could possibly think of doing within the vicinity. They have dueled in the training grounds like the rivals they are, did some other things individually but eventually found themselves bonding in the amusement park like how friends would. For those two to bond in the amusement park as friends, you probably have gotten the picture by now –the picture wherein the strongest guardians of Vongola had to face the dilemma everyone had to face once in a while; the dilemma of boredom.
Forced to stay in some island until some classified plan, that only the hitman and some chosen people knows of, finally works out and with nothing else left to do, the two were so bored that they could just die. But no, they are the protagonists of this goddamn story and this story is definitely not tragedy, so they aren't allowed to die –at least not until the story is finished– which is why, their boredom continued just like how the author wrote it would.
As each second passed by, the duo realized the importance of being busy, having something to do and working. As more time elapsed, they learned to appreciate doing work and being busy. Yes, this experience is indeed molding them into better people but this "transformation" just isn't helping them ease their boredom.
This dilemma went on for a while, a very long while until it happened.
Mukuro spotted those lemons.
He thought those lemons and a bottle of tequila was the solution to their problem.
That was what he thought. But it never occurred to him; the possibility of it becoming the beginning of a worse dilemma –the possibility that is now their cruel reality.
The pineapple head stared at the ring on his finger, trying to remember what happened last night. In a frustrated manner, he sighed as he rubbed his temples roughly, 'Damn it, what happened last night? C'mon, remember you stupid illusionist! Remember!' he mentally scolded himself.
After a few minutes of rubbing his temples, finally, he was able to remember some fragments of last night's turn of events.
Mukuro spotted those lemons.
At the very moment he laid eyes on those yellow fruit, the idea hit him in an instant.
"Hey Kyoya-kun, let's have a tequila drinking contest." the words slipped out of his mouth automatically.
Hibari knew his alcohol tolerance was no good, so rudely, like the rude man he is, he refused Mukuro's proposal, "No. I don't drink with stupid pineapples like you."
Bored and insulted, Mukuro couldn't help it. In a provocative manner, he teased, "You don't drink with stupid pineapples or you can't let this stupid pineapple discover that you can't drink? Which is it, Hibari Kyoya?"
Like the proud man he is, Hibari's answer changed in an instant. He grabbed the Mist Guardian's collar, glared at him and hissed, "Go get a bottle and let's see who can't drink, Rokudo Mukuro."
Mukuro slapped his forehead, 'Fuck, so it's my fault.' he mentally growled.
After a long sigh, he continued reminiscing.
After several rounds, the two have grown so wasted that they completely forgot about competing and ended up chatting randomly.
"Heeey Hibari~, have you read the tourists' brochure?" Mukuro began, face, completely red and eyes, all droopy.
"–hiccup– Weeelll... I'm too drunk to remember! Bahahahahaha~" Hibari laughed like the drunken man he is, hiccuping all over.
"Ohh~, ahahahaha! Nice one!" Mukuro laughed, "Anyway, I've read it and... did you know that if two guys or girls marry here in Mafia Land, their marriage is socially and legally valid even outside the non-mafia society!" he beamed.
"Wao, amazing... –hiccup–" Hibari trailed off, as he battled with sleepiness for a short while and won gracefully after a blink of an eye.
"Heey, want to try and get married? There's some bullshit warning below, but I can't remember what it was or what it was about. But what the heck, right? It's not like there's something we can't handle!" suggested the pineapple head.
Mukuro's eye twitched, 'Goddamn it! It's my fault again! I really am a stupid pineapple!' he facepalmed. Shit, just exactly how is he suppose to explain all these to Hibari without getting killed? Scratching his head in annoyance, the main event flashed flashed before his very eyes.
The indigo haired trickster pushed the cloud guardian on the bed, "Now that we're married... I guess it's okay to have sex, right?"
Hibari wrapped his arms around him and pulled him down with him on the bed. "I don't know. But let's do it anyway~! It's my first time so... please be gentle~" with that, he locked lips with the pineapple head and shit happened.
Mukuro's eyes widened. "Oh god no." he muttered in shock. Now that he has all the pieces of the puzzle and was able to piece them all together, he was dumbfounded. Oh god, when Hibari wakes up, he is so going to get killed. As he sulked, a statement he made last night randomly rewind in his mind; "...there's some bullshit warning below, but I can't remember what it was or what it was about..."
'Wait... what random bullshit warning?' Mukuro asked himself. Panicked, he scrambled off the bed and hasted to the drawer where he kept the brochure. Rushing, he scanned the brochure and searched for the 'bullshit warning' he was referring to last night.
After a while of scanning, he finally found it.
Mukuro's eyes widened as he unconsciously murmured the sentences before his very eyes, "If you are accused to have married recklessly; like marrying because you were under the influence of alcohol and felt like it for that very reason, you will be sued with 'Reckless Marriage'. If proven guilty, as a form of punishment, divorce will become invalid thus will make marrying someone else impossible. If you have been proven to marry another while under the covenant of this marriage, you will be sued with adultery regardless of the situation..."
In shock, Mukuro dropped the brochure and found himself unable to continue, 'Shit, I'm fucked... how do I explain this to that marshmallow eating bastard?'
Just as when he thought things couldn't get worse, "Nghn... my head hurts."
Hibari woke up.
Before worrying how to explain all this to his lover, he should probably worry how to explain all this to his husband... without getting killed.
