5986 & URI MINI-SCENE ~ ALIKE ISSUES
VONGOLA BASE, ONE DAY DURING CHOICE PREPARATIONS
"Really 10th?"
"Dino-san told me that my future self told him… Guuh, still feels weird to think it's about me…"
"Hahaha don't mind, Tsuna. Isn't it good? If these Boxes are like us, then it's easier to get along, don't you think?"
"Ah, well, yes, I agree. If they are the mirror of our feelings, then it means we need to grow stronger to be worthy partners of them!"
On the way back from the reference room to the kitchen, Gokudera can't help dwelling on the piece of news.
Alike… So Vongola Animal Box Weapons and their owners are alike… Damn, he would never doubt the 10th, but that Bucking Horse advice is another thing… Just looking at the damn facts, how is that possible… That would mean Uri is…
BAM. A familiar furry shape falling on his face as soon as he's passed the kitchen door abridges Gokudera's thoughts.
"Gyaa gyah GUUH! Stop that, Uri!"
How could this damn violent disrespectful cat be like me…?!
"Hihihi, Uri, be a good boy, here, sardines-desu!"
TILT. The scratching sensation disappears as Uri jumps from Gokudera to go and cuddle on Haru's legs, meowing for the treat.
"Aouch…" Gokudera mutters while massaging his face all scratched red by Uri's claws, before freezing awkwardly at the show.
Uri isn't scratching this Stupid Woman… Uri is even behaving around her…
Alike… Alike their owner… Mirroring their owner's feelings…
Gokudera's green eyes widen more and more, completely focused on every inch of his Animal Box screaming it loves Haru more than its owner.
Uri is… cuddling with her… fondling under her fingers… meowing in her arms… l-licking her cheek…
DOKI. Gokudera feels his face burning more and more as he forgets to breathe despite himself.
Suddenly, it's like every nerve in his body is reacting by proxy to the mirrored sensations of Uri. His hands are twitching like how Uri's paws gently patting Haru's arms and shoulders. His cheek is itching like how Uri is cuddling it on Haru's neck while meowing. His lips are twinkling just like Uri's tongue is licking Haru's fingers in search of crumbs of sardines.
Uri's tongue… his lips… her lips… her lips moving to talk to him…?
"Ahiii, Gokudera-san? Do you need any band-aids? Your face is still red-desu…"
BAM. The door closes precipitately behind Gokudera as he runs away to try and prevent his heart from exploding.
"Ahiii…? G-Gokudera-san…? Weird-desu… Uri, your owner is acting really weird, do you know why?"
"Meow!"
Instead of an answer, Uri comes and cuddle its face on Haru's cheek, playfully placing its paw on the top of her nose to designate the culprit.
Animal Box Weapons have the privilege of being more honest than their owner, haven't they…
