"Can you lower the music? I have work tomorrow," Tsuna said the moment the door he has been knocking for an hour was finally opened.
He had to wake up at four in the morning just so he wouldn't get stuck in the traffic and be late for work, a thing that his boss, Reborn, would not take lightly at all. But no, just when he set himself to sleep at nine, the loud music coming from the next door apartment made sure he wouldn't get the slightest amount of rest. Tsuna waited for an hour before he decided that enough was enough and his neighbor needed to be informed with this issue.
The said neighbor, however, didn't open his door until an hour of knocking had passed. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?"
And he has the galls to ask. "Like I said, I want you to lower the music."
His neighbor merely raised an eyebrow at his request before he shut door on him without the slightest care.
Tsuna sighed irritably and returned to his apartment dragging his defeat, already thinking about the torture his boss would inflict on him tomorrow.
"Your stupid cat ripped my mail again today," Mukuro said the moment the door he has been knocking for a few minutes was opened.
His neighbor, leaning against the door frame and petting the said stupid cat, looked merely amused. "Really now? What did I tell you about ripping people's mails, Natsu?" The cat meowed cutely in response. "I'll forgive this time because you're cute."
I didn't forgive him, Mukuro wanted to remark but then his neighbor turned towards him and said with a laugh. "It won't happen again."
And before Mukuro could protest that he said the same thing the five times before this one, the door was closed.
Tsuna was thinking of making some tea for himself after spending a long while sorting hundreds of documents when the lights turned suddenly off.
Mukuro again, he thought somewhat hatefully; his neighbor from hell liked to use the fact that he can switch all the power off in his apartment (this building was weirdly structured) with a simple switch flick these days, and it was getting ridiculous.
So, eyes narrowed and annoyed, Tsuna decided that he and his neighbor needed to talk, badly.
Only to trip on something as he was heading towards the door, and after that, tripping on every single item his apartment had.
The next day, Mukuro was surprised to see him bandaged all over and handing him a hospital bill. "What in the world happened to you?"
Tsuna really wanted to punch him right now. "Don't ever turn the power off again."
Apparently, Mukuro was in a good mood; because he took the bill and chuckled amusedly. "Alright, I won't do it again."
Satisfied, Tsuna turned to leave.
Now let me think up of a way that I could skip wor-
"You should stop limping like that though, people would get ideas about us."
Tsuna was going to punch him right then, but the fact that he somehow tripped on the stairs stopped him from doing that.
"You shouldn't get so flustered that easily, too," Mukuro called out helpfully.
Every bone in his body now being officially damaged, Tsuna cursed him.
Ah, nothing is better than taking a shower after an exhausting night, Mukuro mused as he blissfully massaged his head, the smell of the tropical shampoo brand he always bought surrounding him.
Suddenly, the water was cut off.
Tsunayoshi again, he thought hatefully as he wrapped a towel on his waist, not bothering to wear anything else as he headed towards his annoying neighbor's apartment, violently knocking the door upon reaching it.
After two long minutes, the door was opened revealing a sleepy Tsunayoshi. "What is it, Mukuro? It's 2 a.m. Go to sleep for God's sake."
"I would if you didn't close my water tab, how many times do I have to tell you not to close it?" Mukuro spat angrily, getting his wet bangs away from his eyes.
"Well, I wouldn't have closed it if you had paid for it. Either it stays closed or you pay your water bill, because I'm not paying for it anymore," Tsuna shot back, getting more awake along with that.
"Alright, I'll pay for it." The damn bastard wasn't that kind after all. "Just open it now, I need to take a shower."
Tsuna only smiled. "Don't worry about it, as much as I appreciate the sight of you half naked with shampoo bubbles all over your body, I can't afford to have you knocking my door at 2 a.m. again. You'll find water running when you return to your apartment."
Mukuro stared with shock as his neighbor closed the door.
Did he just... hit on me?
Part Two.
