Action/Filtered -- Vongola IX

[not_mafia]

[So Para, do you know what hasn't happened lately that needs to happen at this moment?

That's right. A disaster in the kitchen.

It doesn't seem like such a disaster at first-- in fact, there's a rather pleasant smell of meat-- some sort of beef, probably-- wafting from the kitchen, and if one's paying close enough attention, some light hums from a young boy while he prepares his lunch.

And then there's an 'Eh?', and a silence that can't mean anything good.]

EHHH!!!

[Yep, that is definitely the smell of something burning. And then there's a clang and a rushing of water from the sink as Tsuna holds the burnt sleeve of his coat under the water. (The heck is this kid doing with a coat in the summer, anyway?) And another yelp as he turns off the stove and flails for a moment before taking a small towel, quickly wiping off the meat that had been displaced from the pan off the stove.

And then... just... a long-suffering sigh as he slumps over the kitchen sink, turning it off.


Later on:]

[Ino]

Ah, um... Ino? [god he feels so lame right now]

Comments

action;

[akito]

[ watching this whole thing just like.

whoa.

while snacking on a pint of ice cream with Natsu. and his baby skunk.

because he was so going to say hello but it's much more fun watching Tsuna flail around in the kitchen okay. ]

yep;

[not_mafia]

[Akito. Yoooou are a butt.

Meanwhile, Tsuna looks in dismay at the mess he's made.]

...

[And then he slumps forward again.]

M-maybe I should stick to instant ramen...

[akito]

[ is just going to keep on being a butt and eating ice cream with Natsu and the skunker, thoroughly entertained by Tsuna's predicament. ]

[not_mafia]

[WOW OKAY HE CAN HEAR YOU SNICKERING OVER THERE AKITO.

but yeah he'll just be cleaning up now while Natsu, after thoroughly assessing the startling situation, licks Akito's ice-cream covered finger.]

[akito]

[ Natsu will have to share some fingers with Akira though because the skunker wants some too.

Meanwhile Akito tries to keep his giggling down because little animal tongues are so tickly. ;u; ]

[Tsuna]

[ino]

... [that recording.]

Yes?

[Ino]

[not_mafia]

[ino you already know this child can't handle himself this should come as no surprise]

A-ah, um, well--

[And this is the point where he's realizing oh ino has helped him out/dealt with him a good deal recently maybe he doesn't need to dump this on her too, aka, TIME TO BACKPEDAL]

N-no, it's nothing! I was just wondering how you were.

[.............

Nailed it.]

[Tsuna]

[ino]

...

[ignoring that]

[Ino]

[not_mafia]

...

N-noise?

[Oh........ did that get filtered through the journal............................ oops]

[Tsuna]

[ino]

Uh, yeah. All the clanging, and the yelping, and the panicking ...

;action

[buttonless]

[Jeez, dude. Someone's trying to eat Easy Mac over here in peace without having to smell burning meat.]

What are you even trying do do?

;yeaaaah

[not_mafia]

[OH he kind of starts at the fact that apparently someone else is in the room?! he was super into his cooking attempt ok]

Ah, w-well... you know... cook...

[AND IT WORKED OUT SO WELL TOO]

[buttonless]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to cook stuff in a pan, not right on the stove.

[She knows it was an accident, but that doesn't stop her from teasing.]

[not_mafia]

Y...yeah, I know.

[he's practically made for teasing, Coraline, knock yourself out. anyway he'll just be looking moderately frustrated over the whole ordeal as he cleans up.]

[buttonless]

[Coraline takes the last bite of her macaroni, and heads over to the sink to wash the bowl out.]

So what was that before you burned it?

[wilder]

[he meanwhile is in the doorway. Who knows how he got there, but he's there leaning against it with his arms crossed]

Wow.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna jumps at Zelos' voice.

That is not a voice he was expecting to hear.

That is not a voice he wanted to hear.

Why was the universe always determined to make a fool of him in front of people he respected?]

A-ah... hi... Zelos...

[wilder]

Yo!

Learning how to cook?

[not_mafia]

[Looks over at the mess he made in dismay.]

W-well... I was trying to, at least.

[wilder]

Hm, well...better luck next time!

[selfless]

[ah... .... ........ suddenly Colette wonders if she should walk back out and pretend that she didn't see that? No, but he probably needs help cleaning up so Colette will come bustling in]

D-Do you need any help?

[not_mafia]

[! He starts a little at her, then quickly waves his hands.]

Oh, u-um, that's alright, you don't have to!

[selfless]

[h...hehe, she shakes her head and offers a smile]

It's okay, I don't mind! It'll go faster if you're not doing it by yourself.

[not_mafia]

Ah, well, in that case... thank you. Um, Colette-san, was it?

[selfless]

Yes! And your name is Tsuna, right?
