The Adventures of Skull and Ri
5: Downsides
There were downsides to having children. Mostly it was the lack of sex in interesting spots, something Skull lamented. Somehow, Skull's house (read Ri-chan's house) always had someone with a question, an interest, or just happened, at that very moment, to go wandering by. Which meant no hanky-panky, even at night when there was supposed to be no one about! Kami knows Enma was still traumatized from walking in on one of Skull's and Ri-chan's more heated make-out sessions on a night they were sure all of the children were gone.
Damn Reborn for dragging Tsuna off for remedial training and canceling the sleepover the boys had arranged!
The poor Earth Flame Wielder still colored and wailed apologies whenever Ri and Skull were alone in the same room as him. Poor boy stuttered something awful.
It probably didn't help they'd been role playing.
Sadly, Enma would never look at cakes the same way either Skull acknowledged. 'Big-bad chef was always fun,' Skull mused, thinking back to the chocolate sauce Ri-chan had 'spilled' all over himself when playing the 'ignorant but cutely clumsy assistant.'
He loved chocolate, especially when it was in liquid form and lickable, but back to the dilemma. Having a house full of kids cut in on their action and that wasn't the only thing suffering.
The other problems were that Ri-chan's wore different outfits than his usual and that his attention span was exceedingly less occupied with Skull. It wasn't that he was exactly fond of the little outfits Ri-chan wore, okay he loved some of them and was actually quite enamored in them, he'd gotten gold rose lace stockings by the dozens as his most recent gift to Ri who'd merely arched an amused but accepting brow. (He wore them all the time now though. Score!) But Ri-chan was distracted from Skull and his own pursuits which made the Cloud Flame wielder frown.
Currently, Ri-chan was fixing dinner. His silky hair bundled into a ponytail while his face only had his usual lipstick and the lightest brushes of eye shadow. No mascara.
'Sacrilege!' Skull acknowledged, knowing Ri-chan always tried to look his best, and that included full make-up. No mascara was a clear sign he was spending less time on himself!
His outfit was fairly simple too, Skull noted. Just a pair of short, black overalls with a skimpy wife beater of purple under it, the stockings he loved, (Skull would worship them later, though he was tempted to do so now) and a pair of fuzzy purple slippers with emerald green polka dots. He looked almost normal. Domestic.
Skull shuddered.
It would not do! This atrocity would not go unprotested! Ri-chan was supposed to dress in little complicated outfits with lace and frills and… and slinky materials that drove him wild!
So Skull made a plan of action.
'The orders would come down tonight!' He mentally swore.
That evening…
"Yo brats!" Skull yelled at the end of dinner getting all of their attention, "Get out of the house all weekend and don't come back for anything!" The teenagers stared at him in surprise.
"Eh?" Koyo asked, "Why?"
"The Great Skull-sama says so!" Skull replied arrogantly. Adelheid's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
"Why?" She ground out. Skull wilted.
"I want some alone time with Ri-chan," he whined, "The last time we got to spend the day how we like we were interrupted by Enma." Cue fiery tomato blush.
"What do you mean inter—oh." Julie started to ask before Enma whispered hurriedly into his ear making the taller boy turn a surprisingly bright red as well, despite his womanizing ways.
"We might not even be here," Skull said, "Wanna go for a quick trip up to the coast on our bikes?" Skull asked Ri-chan who lit up in excitement before dimming slightly with a worried look at the Simon family.
"Go," Enma said, recovering with a fond smile, "We'll be alright. Maybe we'll stay over with the Vongolas. I'll talk to Tsuna tomorrow."
"Thank you, Enma-kun," Ri-chan chirped, tearing up. The others instantly agreed, seeing how happy it made the man (defacto mother?) and Ri-chan snuggled into him, Skull's arm over his shoulder holding him close.
'Now the Great Skull-sama can finally get laid,' Skull thought.
