Mukuro knew who would be at the door, the message he'd gotten minutes ago was a good indication and he wasn't expecting anyone else. And he didn't think Cloud was expecting someone (actually, he didn't even think Cloud was really home...), so by simple deduction, the person at the door had to be Naruto.
And sure enough, when he opened the door, there stood the blond ninja clad in somewhat appropriate winter attire. At the very least, it was better than what the other had worn that certain night. Though he wondered a little about the orange...
"Naruto-kun," he greeted with his usual amused smile. He moved aside to let the other come in.

Naruto smiled brightly back as he scooted on in, making sure to stay by the doorway so he didn't get Mukuro's house dirty with his wet shoes. The blond dusted off his bright golden hair, which had dots of snow on it. His cheeks were nice and rosy from being out in the cold. However, his bright blue eyes looked the Italian over.
"...You're not ready dattebayo," He stated, a pout obvious in his voice, though it hadn't quite made it to his face yet.

Mukuro was dressed for the most part. All he really needed to do was put on his boots and a jacket, then he'd be ready to go. He wouldn't be bothering with a scarf or a hat as he didn't feel comfortable wearing either of them. Hats he just didn't like and scarves, well. There was a chance he might wear one if it was loosely tied, otherwise he wouldn't bother. The high collar of his jacket would be good enough to shield his neck from the cold.
"I will be in a moment. But you know, there's no rush in... building this snowman."

"I'm excited! I want to spend time with you! You know. When we're not asleep." The blond merely grinned brighter, before sparing a glance down at his hands, adjusting the black gloves. "Not that I mind sleeping with you but why just sleep when we can go out'ttebayo and have fun?"
He knees started bouncing lightly, signaling he was beginning to get antsy. He was standing in one place--and him being so still, to Naruto, was unnatural, as he was always moving.

But for Naruto, he supposed he would just have to. This once. With a little help.
Mukuro searched out his pet owl with his mind, finding him easily and beckoned for the snowy bird to come to him. It wasn't long before the owl made himself known, landing on the illusionist's outstretched arm. With another mental touch, the owl was off to find suitable stones to use for the snowman's face.
It'd be only a matter of time before the owl returned and in the meanwhile, he would find twigs and the like.

"W-whoa." So that was the majestic creature. It was so beautiful, and it's wings... they were so wide and large...
Naruto went back to work, packing the snow for the head. After a bit, he made enough, and carefully set it on top, melding it into the other part. He had to stand on his tip-toes, but he did it.
"WHOO!" His cheer echoed weakly throughout the forest.

He made his way back and not far behind him was his owl, flying high above him. It swooped down just as Mukuro made it to where the snowman and Naruto were, landing on his shoulder. A makeshift bag was hanging from it's beak, obviously carrying something. He held up his hand, the owl obediently dropping it's findings in said hand without any prompting. Or so it seemed.
"It seems we were both successful in our tasks. Although I had some assistance," Mukuro said, indicating his pet.

The blond tilted his head, staring at the owl. He offered a soft smile, more snow fluttering into his hair.
"Have you asked him his name?" He asked, exhaling gently. More white mist traveled up and away.

He had debated on whether or not to put in any marshmallows, but that train of thought had made him remember a certain other individual who loved the white puffs. A little odd that he hadn't heard from Byakuran for a while but figured that the white haired man had things to do to occupy his time. Like play with flowers and eating an insane about of sweets. The illusionist wouldn't have put it past the man.
Mukuro offered the mug to one of the Naruto's, not sure which was one was the original.
"Well, I'm sure you'll be able to succeed in attaining your dream," he responded with a smile. "And I hope it's to your tastes."

Naruto took the mug of hot chocolate, but did not respond to Mukuro's question. He took a sip, brooding. Sure, it was easy to say, but they weren't even ON that world anymore. And god knows when they would get back. IF they ever got back.
And what if they did? Naruto knew that people disappeared from the island--he was a little scared at times when he heard about it. That people would just be there one day, and then gone the next...
The other Naruto slid over to Mukuro could sit between them, and as soon as the older man was sitting, the two leaned into him, the clone Naruto pouting faintly at the hot chocolate, but then returning to his book, content with leaning against the dark-haired man.
Naruto signed faintly, leaning into Mukuro as he took a drink.
"That's in another world."
Reply
"That may be so, but I still think you'll be able to live your dream," he said, placing a kiss on the blond's temple. He rested his head on top of the other.
"There is no guarantee that we'll all be here forever as the island works in mysterious ways. Who knows, perhaps we'll all be back in our own worlds tomorrow with no recollection of what happened to us. Or maybe we do remember. So we all make the most of our time here. Living for the present is fine and good, however, one should not forget that there is a future ahead of us. What we do now will take us there."
They were such sentimental words, something he would have only done in false assurance to anyone else. But Naruto wasn't anyone else. He was now one of the handful exceptions.
"I'm sure you will be a fine hokage."
Reply
"Well if that's the case dattebayo..." Naruto closed his eyes, holding his hot chocolate, cupping it in his hands. "...I will spend my here and now with you dattebayo. And even if I go back and don't remember with my mind, well...
"My heart will never forget."
