I got this idea while my mom, my dad, my brother and I were getting vaccinated. My brother does not like sharp, pointy things. ._.

Chapter 25: In Which Muku-moe Gets Vaccinated
Shamal couldn't help but pity the boy sitting on the nurse's office's bed, the uneasy glances he was sending the needle being prepared not going unnoticed; Mukuro didn't have a very good past with such things, after all.
Quite frankly, he didn't want to be the one giving him his vaccine shot. On top of his dislike of treating men, there was always the possibility of the illusionist lashing out. Unfortunately, the choice wasn't his to make; between Reborn's threats and Tsuna's pleading, he wasn't left with much room to argue.
"This will only take a second." promised the doctor, turning to face the Mist with the needle in hand.
The other only smiled that creepy smile of his as a response.
Shamal's trained eyes had no trouble picking up on how hard he was trying not to bolt out of there.
Outside, in the hallway, stood a very worried Tsuna and Chrome. Ken and Chikusa would have also been there, but they knew Mukuro wouldn't want them to see him afraid – weak – and left as soon as they got vaccinated.
And besides, they weren't exactly fond of needles either.
"He'll be ok." the brunet assured, to himself as much as the other, his eyes confident in his words and scared all at once.
Chrome smiled softly. "Yes… He's strong. He'll be ok." Boss?"
"Yeah?"
"Mukuro-sama really trusts you; that's why he doesn't mind you seeing him at his lowest. He knows you can build him back up.
Tsuna could feel his eyes widening and cheeks heating. He knew he was getting closer to the more closed-off members of his group of friends, but it was still a bit… weird, for lack of a better term, to hear it said out loud.
"He…" If he didn't know her, he would have thought her smile took on a manipulative, very Mukuro-ish edge to it. "Really cares about you. A lot."
"I… I'm just glad he's opening up…" The brunet wringed his hands, not really sure how he was supposed to react.
Chrome sighed. "You really are clueless, Boss…"

Thank you to anyone who read/followed/favorited/reviewed! :D
Dammit, why can I not write a decent-length Muku-moe-centric chapter?! Damn you, Muku-moe! D:{
Also, am I the only one with the headcanon that the Kokuyo Gang eats healthier when Mukuro's around? He just seems more responsible to me. :^
