I forgot your name...


Characters: Rokudo Mukuro & Rhode Kamelot
Location: Casa Mukulot => A special date
Rating: G
Time: February 14, afternoon
Description: After a shift at Deadly Pretty, Rhode comes home to a nice surprise from her partner.

Rhode was a bit sore in the feet from all her running around at the cafe, but she didn't bother changing out of her maid uniform when she left. It was the one day she didn't feel too silly wandering around in a pink maid uniform, with the extra frills making her feel just a bit cuter than she normally did. It was a nice day for a walk, and she was excited to get home to some chocolates and sweets of her own.

It didn't take her long to reach the apartment, humming a quiet little tune as she made her way up the stairs. As she unlocked the apartment door, she slipped her feet out of her shoes, bending down and picking them up as she stepped inside.

"Mukuro!" She chirped, closing the door and locking it behind herself. "I'm home!"

"Good, because now we're going to step right back out again."

Mukuro was walking out of their bedroom at that precise moment, in a black and white leather, silk and suede ensemble that was much nicer than his usual. He smiled at Rhode the moment he saw her.

"It's Valentine's Day. I believe I owe you a date."
karmafree: (handsome)

"Of course. You always need to be at your best."

That statement naturally implied that Mukuro thought that sometimes, Rhode being "at her best" meant "better than him". He did know how to get her attention.

"I'll wait for as long as I need to, my dear, but don't take too long." He chuckled. "We shouldn't waste time."

"Hold on a moment: I'm absolutely distracted by your radiance."

Well, wasn't he being charming as hell right now? And he was also stepping forward to tie that ribbon for her.
karmafree: (like silk.)

"It isn't flattery if it's the truth."

He kissed her on the forehead when he finished up, and took her hand, turning towards the door.

"Now, come."

Nope, Mukuro still had not answered Rhode's question.
karmafree: (is that so?)

"I like it in much the same way that I like any day."

Which, in Rokudo Mukuro terms, meant that he usually couldn't be bothered to give a flying fuck about it.

"Still, as your partner, I do feel that it is necessary to indulge the ridiculous spirit of the season and do something nice with you."
karmafree: (creeper senses tingling!)

"Do you now? I'm touched! How did you know that those were my favorite?"

Mukuro rarely ate sweets in her presence, preferring, instead, to watch her devour them for herself. (Even if they did make her a little fat...) When he did eat, he did not look like he enjoyed them more than he enjoyed anything else.

Rhode was rewarded with a soft chuckle, and Mukuro's arm reeling her in a little closer against him as they walked.

"That's rather observant of you."
karmafree: (Default)

"Yes, you are a devious little thing."

And where were they going? Mukuro appeared to be leading them towards the edge of the city, where there was pretty much nothing but ruins.
karmafree: (thinking hard!)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-07 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Then how would you say it?"

He knew how much she loved to tell everyone how wonderful she was. He certainly did not mind listening.
karmafree: (thinking hard!)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-07 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
"And am I supposed to guess at all of these other things, or will you be a darling and help me out?"

It was at that point that Mukuro drew away from Rhode and jumped up on one of the low walls by the spiraling street, balancing on them as one might on a beam. The move was effortless on his part, of course.
karmafree: (how very interesting...)

Mukuro hummed, looking incredibly thoughtful as he traipsed along.

"Yes, I suppose that will do."
karmafree: (me > sparkly vampires.)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-09 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
An easy chuckle, as he slowed down just so. He knew that she was having a hard time keeping up, even if she would never admit it.

"It means that you are, indeed, adorable, devious, brilliant and many other things besides."
karmafree: (pedobear.)

"I doubt you would even partner up with someone like that in the first place, my dear. You have that thing called Taste."

Now they were finally leaving the city proper, traipsing down the bridge leading to the outer zone. Wherever were they going, really?
karmafree: (totally not smirking at you)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-10 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"You would have gotten bored too quickly and too soon with someone like that."

Mukuro appeared not to notice: he was already hopping off of the railing, and cutting to the left. A few turns later, and the path changed: it was strewn with flowers, and appeared to be leading up to one particular ruined house in the abandoned section of town.
karmafree: (: ))

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-13 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmm?"

His tone was lazy, as if he could not understand what Rhode was getting all excited about. Mukuro continued to traipse along, following the flower trail perfectly, right up to the doorstep of the house. Then he entered and started climbing the stairs.
karmafree: (thinking hard!)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-15 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, yes. Who else would I do this for?"

Really, Rhode: why was it so surprising? He had killed for you already.

Not that you knew about that, but well...
karmafree: (aren't you just adorable? ♥)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-16 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Precisely."

Chrome Dokuro never showed up, as things were, and if she did now... well, she'd have to get used to sharing.

That thought was amusing enough to make him chuckle. Then he was swinging the door to the rooftop open before Rhode could ask what was so funny, and revealing, with a little flourish, exactly what he had prepared: a pinic spread, petals and candles everywhere, with baskets full of food and bottles of wine.

"Have a seat, my dear."
karmafree: (how very interesting...)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-16 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Mukuro, in turn, settled down across of Rhode and beside one of the baskets. He proceeded to hum as he set things out: simple but fine things for them to nibble on, all Italian.

"No one else will have as pleasant an day as we will."

He was sure of that.
karmafree: (handsome)

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-05-17 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Mukuro, in the meantime, merely smiled. He was sitting back now, apparently content with letting her get the first pick of... well, everything.

"Yes."

And he was not the type to make promises, precisely because he was rarely ever interested or invested enough to keep them. Odd how things changed.
