Gokudera was 75 when he finally acquiesced to the collective heckling of his colleagues and proteges and checked into the Vongola Seniors' Home ~Generously founded by Sawada Tsunayoshi, for the continued comfort and well-being of retired mafiosi. Established circa 20XX~.
Not even a half-step through the lobby door and he was ready to head on right back out.
A full step carried him across the threshold and into a face full of confetti. Silly string showered over his head, draping, clinging to his goddamn suit jacket like Lambo did to vertical objects in their shared youth. Multi-colored streamers and silk buntings hung from the ceiling. Buntings for crying out loud.
Gokudera squinted in disbelief.
It was ghastly.
"Finally," the small welcoming party exclaimed (croaked?) in relative unison and varying shades of vitality and health.
"You're late!" Ryohei shuffled forward with an indignant scowl on his face. "I threw out my back trying to hang up those extreme decorations in time, you know!"
"Oh, go take your meds," Gokudera ground back. He wondered absently if it wasn't a bad idea to pick up smoking again.
"Already did!" the older man retorted triumphantly.
It was probably a good thing that Yamamoto chose that particular moment to shuffle closer with a plate of cake and fork in both hands.
(The last time Ryohei goaded Gokudera into an impromptu fist-fight, the result had been a half-irreparable social event and 4 months of physical therapy each.)
"How's Tsuna?" he asked.
Gokudera brightened at that. "The Tenth still moves like he's 60!" he reported proudly.
Dino wheeled forth, looking quite distinguished with Enzio napping in his lap. "And the others?" he pressed. "We don't get to hear from them a lot ever since coming here."
"Mukuro's a cheating cheater who cheats. And Hibari's not human, so hell if I know. I thought we established all that twenty years ago."
"Ah, right... sucks to be Kusakabe, huh?"
"No shit," Gokudera snorted around a bite of the welcome cake. "I bet he'd gone and donated his body to science years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if he's actually a box-entity, in fact." He chewed twice before grimacing at Yamamoto. "You added too much sugar again."
The former swordsman laughed sheepishly. "Hahaha, sorry. I guess my taste buds really aren't what they used to be."
PSYCHE. XDDD Happy April Fool's Day! Originally drabbled for runesque in response to her rendition of 20YL guardians here. Will change the title to something more appropriate in a week or something. |D
