03 - Something like Boredom

[youwillbe_mist]

Oya...o..ya~ [Today finds Mukuro having claimed another chair as his own.]

Why aren't Ken and Chikusa here yet? Tch, how useless.

[The illusionist in the mood to cause some good old fashioned juvenile delinquency! However, he's far less likely to do so without a group. Ah well.]

[Tsuna knows he should just ignore this and put his communicator away and pretend he's never even heard of Mukuro. But then he remembers the gym and that brief glimpse into the illusionist's situation and that strange sense of sympathy he felt at the time. And here he is opening his stupid mouth.]

Don't you think it's better that they aren't here? This place is..... horrible. Don't you want them to be somewhere safe?

[youwillbe_mist]

[Well that's sure a surprise to Mukuro. He can't help but think that Tsuna is something akin to stupid but hey, not his problem.]

Well if it isn't Vongola the Tenth~ Kuhah! Once again you surprise me with your never ending concern to the well being of others.

Does this place frighten you?

[hyperintuitive]

[He sees no reason to lie.]

Of course it scares me. Why wouldn't it? Have you seen some of the things that happen around here?

[youwillbe_mist]

Hmhm...~ Succumbing to fear isn't really a trait becoming of a boss you know.

I could always fix that for you.

[hyperintuitive]

[He sighs.]

You can just go ahead and add that to the long list of my flaws....

[He really isn't sure why he's still having this conversation.]

But I guess this place might be an improvement from your perspective...

[youwillbe_mist]

[Mukuro frowns, but only for a second.]

Tsunayoshi, though you may think you know my actions, reasons, intentions...do not mock me with your compassions.

[hyperintuitive]

I wasn't trying to!

[He looks away, uncomfortable.]

It's just.... That prison you were in..... It isn't something that I'd wish on anybody.

[youwillbe_mist]

Then perhaps you should do something about it?

[hyperintuitive]

I would if I could...

[He's completely serious. After meeting Chrome and catching that brief glimpse into Mukuro's fate, he just can't believe that Mukuro is really a bad person. A bad person wouldn't sacrifice his own freedom to help his friends, or save a dying girl he barely knew.]

[youwillbe_mist]

[He laughs dryly at that. If anything, those five words are a great reminder that Mukuro just hates Tsuna. He hates that seriousness and the fact that he's so damn honest.

Kufufu...really, haven't you yet realized that your weak emotions aren't going to help you in the long run, Vongola?

[hyperintuitive]

Maybe they aren't..... But that doesn't change anything.

I don't want to fight you again. I don't think we should have to fight. Especially not here. It's pointless.

[youwillbe_mist]

Kufufu...

Your words don't change anything either. Should the chance arrive, then, please count on me doing as I want.

[hyperintuitive]

And then what? Possess me? Kill me? As long as we're stuck in Wonderland, you won't gain anything...

[youwillbe_mist]

Tsunayoshi, I'm almost disappointed to know that you would think something petty like this place would stop me from chasing you.

But if I must repeat myself, the former. Of course.

[hyperintuitive]

But even if you do possess me, it doesn't matter! What could you possibly do with my body when we're stuck here?

[It isn't until that sentence leaves his mouth that he realizes how very wrong it sounds.]

[youwillbe_mist]

[For that, Tsuna earns the most impish of grins from Mukuro.]

You're still apt to act? Kufufu!! Vongola the Tenth, even you must realize: The Sky is full of endless possibilities.
