Title: Dozen Flowers for Christmas

On the Twelfths day of Christmas…
As the clock struck twelve and chimed to signal the coming of Christmas, a soft whisper of window sliding open stirred, but did not wake, a brunet in the Sawada household. He was sleeping with his head in his arm, surrounded by flowers. The figure by the window took in the sight before him before his lips stretched into a predatory smirk and set about making a few… preparations.
Several Hours Later…
With a groan, Tsuna woke up from his slumber. Opening blurry eyes, he looked out at the window; Tsuna found it was still dark. Not that he was surprised, since sleeping on the couch was never comfortable.
Tsuna paused.
Couch? Didn't he fall asleep in the kitchen? Sitting up, Tsuna felt something slide off him. Looking down, he became aware of the green Kokuyo uniform draped over him, keeping him warm.
A gentle movement outside caught his eye.
Clutching the uniform to him, Tsuna got up from the couch and moved to the window.
"Snow," Tsuna murmured, watching the tiny flakes fall.
"Yes, they are rather beautiful, aren't they," a deep chuckle came from behind Tsuna.
"Yeah," Tsuna agreed, nodding.
…
Tsuna spun around to face the playful smirk of-
"M-Mukuro!" Tsuna panicked, backing away from the bluenette. Mukuro chuckled again.
"Kufufu…Good morning to you as well, Tsunayoshi-kun."
"H-How did you get in here?!"
"The same way I get in the other nights," Mukuro replied, backing Tsuna against the cool window.
"W-what?" was all Tsuna managed in his shock-induced state. With both voice and face showing fear, Mukuro couldn't help but let out another chuckle as he trapped Tsuna by placing an arm beside the brunette's head.
"To my Tsunayoshi," With his other hand, the illusionist produced a white rose, and presents it to the brunette, who accepts it hesitantly, "I keep my devotion to you in silence," another flower was presented to Tsuna, a white chrysanthemum, "but the truth is," a primrose, "I can no longer live without you," a hibiscus, "your delicate beauty," a tulip, "and your beautiful eyes," a coreopsis, "always so cheerful," a borage, "gives me the courage," a rose bud, "to confess my love," a petunia, "as your very presence soothes me," a violet, "and calms," a coriander, "my lust," and here, Mukuro presents a flower unfamiliar to Tsuna, "From, your secret admirer."
Blushing, Tsuna accepted the final flower as well, staring at the white petals of the rose-look alike in favor of looking up at the one who presented it.
"A-ano, Mukuro," Tsuna said hesitantly, "W-why are you here?" Mukuro raised an eyebrow.
"I-I mean, there's more to this than giving me a bunch of flowers with a secret message, right?"
"Kufufu," Mukuro chuckled, "Are you so eager to receive something more?" Tsuna shrank even further at the duo-color eyed man's leer.
"Uh, n-no, I-I meant-"
"Kufufu," Mukuro's chuckle interrupted Tsuna's stuttering, "You are right, there is something else that comes with this message. I am here to present you with my final gift," with his free hand, Mukuro lifted Tsuna's and pressed his lips against the smooth skin, "should you choose to accept it."
The light pink on Tsuna's cheeks turned into an even darker shade.
"Do you accept me, Tsunayoshi?" Here, Mukuro produces two flowers in his hand, a carnation of a solid white color, and a stripped carnation.
Tsuna stared at the flowers. Mukuro was offering him two choices. Thinking back to the book he read, he remembered that different colors of carnation have different meanings. Frowning, Tsuna's hand wavered between the two. Which one means which again? More importantly, what did he want? Tsuna closed his eyes. Did he… love Mukuro? Maybe just enough to give him a change?
Unknown to Tsuna, Mukuro's signature smirk had softened to a sad upturn of the corner of his lips.
Which would you choose, Tsuna? Won't you give this lotus a chance to be near?
Opening his eyes, with a new resolve shining in them, Tsuna reached forward and gently plucked the pure red carnation from Mukuro's hand.
Mukuro smiled. Shyly, Tsuna looked up and returned the smile. Marveling at how adorable the brunette looked, Mukuro's leering smirk returned full force as he leaned forward and claim the innocent brunette's lips with his.
Tsuna tensed at the unexpected touch before relaxing and relishing in the feeling of Mukuro's pleasantly warm lips against his. Tsuna felt a wet appendage sliding over his lower lip and parted them to allow the illusionist access.
Gasping lightly at the feeling of Mukuro's tongue dancing lightly in his mouth and creating tingling sensations that traveled down his spine, Tsuna tightened his hold on his Mist Guardian's shirt to support himself as his knees weakened and his legs failed him. Mukuro snaked an arm around slender waist to hold Tsuna in place, while his other hand slipped under Tsuna's thin shirt.
Groaning at the feeling, Tsuna unconsciously wrapped his arm around Mukuro's neck, twining his fingers into long strands of silky hair.
Finally, the need for air got the better of Tsuna and he pushed lightly at firm chest. Complying, Mukuro slowly pulled away, licking his lips as if to savor the lingering taste of Tsuna.
"Merry Christmas, Tsunayoshi-kun," Mukuro purred, his lips brushing against the brunet's, making Tsuna blush despite the kiss they just shared.
Still a blushing virgin, Mukuro chuckled, though that might change tonight…
-bluuuusssshhh- yeaaahh.. That was my first ever KHR fanfic. I absolutely love this pairing and just had to write something about them for Christmas //^^//
Though I think I butchered Mukuro's character... -sobs- dammit.. i tried!! i triiieedd!!! -sulks in emo corner-
Anyways, the meaning of a lotus in "the language of flowers" is "far from the one he loves", and I remembered how lotuses (at least, I think they're lotus) appear when Mukuro uses one of his "Path of Reincarnations" (Can't remember which) and thought this might fit it.
Also, the meaning of a solid color carnation means yes, while a stripped carnation means no.
I found all these on websites after typing in "flower language" in google. For some reason Fanfiction isn't allowing me to cut/paste the link here, but if you're curious, PM me and I'll send the links over. ^w^
CelticAngelWings:Thank you again for your review! It made me very happy. I... I really did tried to write smut for the last chapter, b-but... I really couldn't do it, which is sad since I have no problem with reading them, but when it comes down to writing... -sulks- T^T Actually, I even had quite a bit of difficulty in simply writing the kiss scene. -holds up paper with tons of scribbles- This is what my written copy looks like!! I'm sorry to disappoint. Maybe in an omake... or maybe a sequal... maybe...
Please R+R!
