-Random flashback to chapter 8 (if I´m correct)-
Man with fedora on his head sat in his office. He smirked for no apparent reason. Maybe, he came up with new way of torturing his husband, I mean he came up with new clothes for his favorite model. He was reading newspapers, title was something along the lines "Popular opera singer Squalo Superbi will be starring in ´VOOOOI´ this weekend!"
-End of Random flashback to chapter 8 (actually it doesn´t really matter if I´m correct right?)-
As days and everything else in Vongola society is so random, thus, weekend approached, somehow. Saturday morning, birds happily chirped from their nest, whole town was once more in uproar. Flyers for Opera VOOOOI covered whole town. Everyone was exited, all famous people from city would be there. Such as popular boxer Knuckle with his two sons, he love to do things for charities , next pro billiard player Gamma (probably with his soon-really-really-really-soon-to-be-wife-and-even-sooner-to-be-child), Nono the vintener famous in area for his Varia quality wine (try is it´s really good, his son Xanxus proves it and if you think otherwise, I just hope you like dark and cold cells), continuing there are popular kung-fu teachers Fon and his wife I-pin as well as, no one could believe it when they first heard it, police chief himself, Alaude , who is never really seen in such crowded places as he is probably claustrophobic or have some other phobia.
But who cares, back to the chirping birds.
For some it might be beautiful sound and it really is, but not for annoyed pineapple, who lacked sleep. Why? Answer is simple, around sixty-nine calls in two hours (which started at five in the morning) were simply… the worst thing in his life, frigging annoying, terrifying, horrible, terrible nightmare. If this were some random anime named after infant mafia assassin who happens to tutor idiot who refuses to become some clam-boss, Mukuro would be now holding crushed bits of what was just now his cell phone, or more, he would be killing some blonde and clumsy horse and not because he actually dislike animals, not really. Well but this is not said thing, thus he still held remaining pieces of his mobile in hand, while only thinking about how to kill said animal.
"Mukuro are you alright? I heard some loud crack-" Chrome stood rather stunned at entrance to her twin´s room. She shook slightly as ominous aura emitted from figure on a bed turned around. Suddenly, as if shot by lightning (yes he was so dazzling) Mukuro turned around with sweetest (and creepiest) smile on his face ever. Like EVER.
"Are you… alright?" she asked slowly. Pineapple seemed to wake up from his pleasant dream in which he probably did some big massacre. Then his face changed into gentle smile, he only had for his beloved sister. "I´m fine, Chrome-chan." Afterwards for a split moment he seemed to be lost in thoughts. "Do we still have father´s tickets for opera?" he asked, with glee obvious on his face and glint of mischievousness in mismatching eyes. "I think we do. Why? You didn´t want to go."
Mukuro kufufu-ed. "Well I guess I changed my mind." Then, he broke into maniacal laughter. His poor sister stood there, torn between two choices. Call ambulance, because her brother seemed to lost it after all or to just call Kyoya to beat crap out of him and hopefully wait if he comes back from his kufulaland. But as always, there was golden middle way, to take frying pan and hit his head, really, really hard, but she didn´t want to stain her beloved frying pan with blood.
Raven was merely relaxing in his bed, while his Hibird, who seemed to call over his whole family, chirped happily. It was actually so loud, that maybe to some people, it could sound like it was coming from outside, but it was not. Few seconds later, there was loud crack sound, sound of someone running in hallway, and after minute or two loud pineapple-like but more crazy laughter resonated through Spade residence .
Skylark glared in direction, from where is seemed to come from. He hoped that his stare would destroy wall, burn hole in door and finally hit that damn fruit who was getting on his nerves every single day! He even had nerve to…to… sleep with HIS possession! And he was frigging not thinking about his own body at the moment (funny guy he is, duh).
Raven´s possession yawned loudly. "Do we really need to go?" asked slightly annoyed Kikyo. He has totally forgotten that he had promised his dad he would go. Said dad, nodded his green head. "Why?! It´s freaking opera. I´m going to die of boredom."
"You´re one to talk." Murmured darkly Tsuna. "You´re never had near death experience." He has just clearly remembered every time, dark haired evil, no matter how hot, wanted to send him to the other side of river. Last time, when Muku-nii-chan showed him these photos, right in front of said devil, he could clearly remember scent of muddy river, sound of screeching souls and almost warm but still extremely dangerous white light, which was calling to him from other side. If Kyoya wouldn´t have been chasing him with maniac glare on his face, maybe he would notice pineapple shaped hairstyle that was behind enormous flashlight, giggling, with his radio playing funny sounds loudly and bag of rotten meat placed almost on every two maters.
Kikyo looked at distant expression his little brother had plastered over his face, he shook his head and continued. "At least let me take someone with me." He pleaded, looking straight at his white haired father for a change. This man with funny shaped and colored birthmark under one of his eyes, was placing bunch of white squashy objects, detected to be marshmallows, into his bottomless pit, also known as mouth by some species. "Hn? Why not ~ ." Was his happy-go-lucky answer.
"Really?" Eldest brother´s face was shinning with (perverted) happiness as he said it. He went off to call best friend of his little brother, which was … very strange if you ask me. "What about you Tsuna? Don´t you want to invite someone too?" Brunette finally broke from his memories. Dumbly, as he was, he looked at his monotone talking dad with confused expression. Fran sighed at stupidity of his middle son. Why is he like this? Just who in our family did he take after? Then suddenly his thoughts were disturbed by his husband. He was sitting cross-legged on sideboard, humming something with cheeks packed like squirrel, eyes following single butterfly which flew by like five-years old.
His mental comment on this sigh was simple three dots. He turned back to his son. "I asked if you wanted to invite someone to opera too." Tsuna´s mind blew immediately to raven, he smacked his own face. There was no way he would come.
In that moment, scream echoed from hall. "I can´t believe it!" shouted Dino, who apparently, could not believe it (also he, as always slept over his uncle house, just for the hell of it). "Mukuro ordered me to go to opera tonight with him." His face full of glee, started melting as his whole body and in no time, he was not horse, but strange looking, glittering matter that could not be described.
"Muku-ni- I mean Mukuro did?" asked surprised herbivore. Would that mean it was possible for Kyoya… he had sudden urge to at least try it. Once he crossed funny matter that was once his cousin, he sprinted to his room, took his phone and dialed number of raven (how he knew it was beyond me).
"Hn?" hissed angry skylark from other side of line. The "hn" was his way of saying "Hello, this is Kyoya Spade, what a nice day we have, exactly, such beautiful day for dying, so spit out your firggin´ name before I go and bite your ass to death, whenever you are right now and how are you by the way?" Unfortunately, Tsuna didn´t get the message and went on "Hi Kyoya." Herbivore congratulated himself for not stuttering so far. Two words, that was his best record so far. "This is Tsuna." Loud three dots echoed from his phone, he continued. "I was…. Well the thing is… I wanted… you..erm…"
"Get to the point herbivore." Skylark hissed. Tsuna held scream inside him and answered like a good boy he was. "The opera. You know one tonight…" his thoughts were somewhere else, in some delusional place where he was holding hands with satan himself, I mean Kyoya?! "What?!" he shouted to phone. Loud grr could be heard.
"I said what do you want with that shitty, annoying and irritating thing." Kyoya sounded quite angry. Tsuna sweat dropped. "I thought… we could go… together… B-But if it´s so annoyi-"
"Fine." Before brunette could answer like an idiot and airhead, raven hanged up.
Mukuro, being kind of main character of chapter, was still laughing his ass off. He had genial plan and he was going to make it come true. Being sadist he was, he did not invite Dino just for the hell of it. In many aspects he was like his father, Reborn, thus he was pretty sure blonde won´t like what he has prepared for him.
Evening was approaching and people, who actually mattered to readers, started to appear before erm… before wherever the opera was being held. Pineapple, ignoring fact that his little sister was quite happily chattering with Ken, spotted his victim… I mean sacrifice… no actually he was victim after all. All right, he took his chance and took bucking-horse, I mean block-head by arm and disappeared with him somewhere.
"Wasn´t that Dino?" asked Uni, who tried to keep up conversation, which seemed to die every minute. "Yeah, I guess." Answered Kikyo, trying to do same. "Is that …Mukuro with him?"
"Muku-nii-chan?" stirred Tsuna uncomfortably, firstly because raven was giving him intense stare, then because he used that sacred-never-to-be-said word again. Now, Kyoya was giving him deathly stare. "I-I mean M-Mukuro." Corrected himself herbivore, sweating under intense glare. But it still did not please skylark, because he was as motivated to make hole in Tsuna as ever. Thoughts that went through Tsuna´s mind were all like "Why did I invite him again? Was I on drugs? Delirious? Mad?!" And after we seconds his thoughts were all like "Am I Idiot, Nuts or Lunatic, Obviously Very Eccentric?!"
On the other hand of stare was bit confused raven. He didn´t understand why his herbivore wore such funny faces. First it was as if he was scared to death, then appeared expression that said "OMG I´m drunk!", next was "Hooray for ponies!", afterwards "WTF this tastes like shit!". After some time it changed to something that indicated that herbivore was choking, after turning blue, violet and white as snow, and after almost fainting from all of this unreasonable stuff I´m writing just for my amusement, Tsuna (with normal face) said. "Oh, I think we can go in already." Kyoya looked dumbfounded at smiling creature, he hmph-ed and followed him inside nevertheless.
Back to fruit.
"Are you…are you sure I can?" Dino trembled just with the idea going there.
"Of course it is." Mukuro tried to be as convincing as he could while snickering.
"But I really don´t think they just let me go there like this…" Dino was too scared even to do as he was told by his life-long crush.
"Are you going to do it or not?" Mukuro was now more than irritated. Does this guy have any guts at all? He was just fine when he was like sore in eye all day long, sending him messages and all, and now he is like scared cat, whore than that.
"But still…" Bucking horse seemed to be afraid as ever. Who knew what would happen if he actually did it.
"Look there." Pineapple pressed horse against wall, which sounded ridiculous but whatever. "I you do it for me…" He was deep in thoughts, what would make this damn bastard do what he wanted, without resisting so much? Only one thing came to his mind. As much as he hated thought, he wanted to humiliate this bastard. Nothing could stop him from revenge. "I date you." He said finally, gritting his teeth.
"Eh?" Dino´s face was suddenly shinning like sun. "Really? Really?" he repeated like child.
"Of course." Mukuro said but added for himself "Not. No way in this frigging world."
"I really wonder where Dino disappeared." Sighed Tsuna. One death of glare was answer he got from skylark. He honestly didn´t get it. Whenever he brought up someone…anyone Kyoya would get mad.
Apparently, Kyoya suffered EXTREME case of lover jealousy.
Opera was about to start when Mukuro finally seated himself next to Chrome. She immediately noticed evil grin on his face. "Where is Dino?" she asked, quite worried. "You see soon enough." He snickered.
And what pineapple said was indeed true. Taking everyone present by surprise, Dino appeared on stage in his white suit and with mike in one of his hands. Mukuro´s smirk widened, eyes gleaming with sweetness of revenge. "Now go and humiliate yourself before whole town you pony." Was what he thought, until moment music started to play and Dino nervously stood there. One thing Mukuro couldn´t predict was that their school nurse, also known as Romario, was present too. Weirdly enough, Dino did not tremble after spotting man. It was other way around, he seemed more confident, for unknown reason of course.
Time to sing finally came and without hesitation, bucking horse did as he was told.
"Be more slowly, be more slowly, yukkuri ikiteikeru nara, for family, for family…."
Everyone, including pineapple were in awe. First to get back to his senses was of course Mukuro. His eye twitching he murmured "Who would thought…that this bastard actually could sing… so well…" gritting his teeth, he had to admit it painfully.
After music finally ended and loud applause and squealing were heard, an actual opera started.
This is story of how Dino became aspiring singer…
And story of how Mukuro and Dino started dating.
And also story of how Tsuna was almost killed by Kyoya (again) when he tried to clap his hands after Dino´s song…
Thanks for reading and reviews :3
