Chapter 2 First da- er, Meeting!
They had set the meeting for that night. Tsuna wondered why he had set this up, considering he had better things to do than meet his almost staker on the night of the 1st time they'd talked. But when Mukuro had mentioned that he was free, he had just sounded so pitiful that Tsuna had agreed immediately.
(In the distance: "Kufufu, you fell for my illusions." – Mukuro)
However, when Tsuna had gone to get ready, he had found the majority of his suits ruined. With one of his eyes twitching, he reached for the one suit Reborn hadn't ruined with blotches of pick, green, and brown.
"Why couldn't you have ruined my least favorite suit?" he muttered, as he held the form-fitting Armani pants and silk shirt out like a diseased thing.
"Oh well. I unfortunately don't have time to get any of them cleaned." So, with great reluctance, he put on the suit, and called for his suits to be cleaned as he left.
'At least,' Tsuna thought, 'I can drive my car.'
And he could, as he reached the garage, he was able to drive his metallic red Mustang convertible. Of course, he turned on his GPS so that he wouldn't get lost.
^_^ ^_^
Mukuro had a window seat, with a perfect view to watch Tsuna drive up. One of his eyebrows rose when he saw Tsuna's obviously expensive suit, while he drove what looked like a really old and unexpensive car. He filed that information away as something to ask about later, as he watched Tsuna walk into the restaurant. (Italian!)
Mukuro smirked as he watched Tsuna get directed to his table. Inwardly, Mukuro was laughing as he watched the young man draw looks from everyone in the restaurant. 'But, then again, maybe he deserves it.' Mukuro thought. After all, despite the embarrassed look on Tsuna's face, he was wearing some great tighfitting pants that made him look quite delicious.
Mukuro's smirk grew lager as Tsuna reached the table. "Ano, are you Mukuro-san?" Tsuna asked hesitantly, as he looked over Mukuro.
He was like a barely contained wildfire, with a devil-my-care attitude and a dangerous smirk, Tsuna decided. And his hair, over which Tsuna barley contained a laugh, was styled somewhat like a pineapple. But, despite his air, a casual observer might say he was just out of a business meeting. Mukuro was wearing an ordinary navy suit. Actually, the only extraordinary thing about what he was wearing , was a small silver pin, in the shape of a trident.
All this, of course, went through Tsuna's mind in the few seconds it took for Mukuro to reply. "Of course. And I take it, then, you are Tsunayoshi Sawada?"
Tsuna nodded, "Yes, but I would prefer you call me Tsuna. Tsunayoshi always seemed a bit to formal to me."
"Of course, please sit, Tsuna-kun."
Tsuna shivered as he sat, feeling more like he was sitting down with a starved lion than a man. "So," Tsuna began as he looked dowm at the menu, "You said you had a business proposal for me?"
"Ah~! You seem quick to get to business. But I, I would prefer to wait until we have some food~."
So Tsuna, a bit embarrassed, waited through the 3 course dinner of soup, of linguine with clam sauce for him and chicken picatta for Mukuro, and a shared piece of chocolate cake (Mukuro insisted) that was the size of his head, not to mention – unlimited breadsticks.
Throughout dinner Mukuro asked about Tsuna, to get to know him, he said, but gave few answers about himself. Tsuna sighed inwardly, thinking that the man gave out less information than Hibari! But, now the dinner was over, so they could get down to business, and Tsuna could hopefully stop feeling like he was about to be raped.
Mukuro noticed the discomfort on Tsuna's fac. He smirked, "So, now to answer your earlier question. What if I told you that I didn't have a business proposal for you?"
Tsuna sat back in shock, "Then why were you contacting me so much?"
Mukuro's smirk grew wider, as he pushed down a laugh. "Well, I just wanted to get to know you better Tsu-kun."
'Tsu-kun' Tsuna thought in shock, while aloud he answered in a voice shaking with suppressed anger, "what gives you the right to call me 'Tsu-kun'?!" while looking at Mukuro like he was about to kill him.
" I'm sorry," Mukuro replied, "I just travel a lot, so I sometimes forget and mix-up the grammar and name rules. And I also feel like I already know you very well, but I am sorry."
" Oh… I guess I understand that, but would you please call me Tsuna?'
"Of course, my mistake." Mukuro replied before asking, "So~, when do you want to meet again?"
"Ummm… I don't know …" replied a very ruffled Tsuna, "Ummm…"
"Well, how about next week, same day?"
"Ah! No! Um, I can't do it that day, how about next Friday?" (it's a Tuesday)
"That works for me."
"Ok, then. It's a date!" Tsuna replied happily as he pulled out his blackberry so he wouldn't forget. Mukuro, of course, had a much more efficient method. He just mentally contacted Chrome, and told her to save the date.
He was also the perfect gentleman, paying for dinner despite all of Tsuna's protests to the contrary, and walking Tsuna out to his car. And before they parted, Mukuro gave Tsuna a smile and kissed his hand, before saying, "Good night, Tsuna-kun. I look forward to our seeing you next week."
Tsuna blushed bright red, hurriedly got into his car to speed home, leaving Mukuro to watch him go, with a true smile on his lips as he faded into the moonlight.
^_^ ^_^
(at that moment) Chrome – "Why did you wake me up for this?"
^_^ ^_^
A/N: So do you like it? I'm going to ask that every chapter, so get used to it, cause I really want (need) to know. So, R&R, and I am still taking other pairing requests. And just so you know I'll probably do mild GokuYama (don't remember their numbers, but I think it is 8057 – correct me if I'm wrong!)
So I am reading KHR! And after this chapter I might disappear for a while, cause I'll be relying on friends with internet to update for me!
See you in the next chapter! Mizu-chan out!
