It was a routine check-up; the next day, everyone would be setting off to the secret Vongola headquarters, but tonight, every Guardian and ally of the family was staying in a local hotel in Italy. Although Tsuna had not wanted to do it, Reborn had kicked him out of the room and threatened not to ever open the door until he made rounds to make sure everyone knew to meet in the front lobby at seven the next morning. So he went around, knocking on doors and sheepishly reminding everyone to be up early ("Don't worry, Tenth! I'll drag Yamamoto up to make sure he doesn't miss the holy day!" said Gokudera, but Tsuna suspected it might be the other way around). When he knocked on Mukuro's door, Chikusa answered to say that Mukuro had snuck out under his and Ken's noses and neither of them had been able to track him down yet. This had only weighed slightly on Tsuna's mind (Mukuro still unnerved him even though Chrome assured him he was not a threat), and he didn't even think about it when he knocked on Basil's door.

There was no answer at first, and Tsuna thought that perhaps his father's understudy had either stepped out like Mukuro or had gone to sleep early, but as Tsuna turned to go, the doorknob fumbled and the door opened a crack. Tsuna swiveled on his heel. Basil was peeking out at him with a docile look, his brown hair wet and slightly dripping onto the white, fluffy bathrobe the boy was clutching around his body. "Y-yes? What is it?"

"Ah! I wasn't…I'm sorry! I'm interrupting your bath…but…oh, I'll be quick!" Tsuna quickly relayed the message of early rising as Basil nodded from behind the tiny crack. He cocked his head, feeling something amiss. Basil looked much too nervous to just be caught in the bath. "Is something wrong?"

"Wrong? Nothing…"

"Bella, who's at the door?" The door was opened wider as someone else appeared. Basil mumbled something akin to a reason but Tsuna had already backed away. Mukuro was looking rather irritated, wearing a bathrobe loosely wrapped around his body; but Tsuna turned just as red as Basil was when he saw the illusionist's hair was also wet.

"What're you staring at, tuna?" Mukuro smirked, understanding and turning his anger into amusement as he wrapped a possessive arm around Basil, who was mortified to speechlessness. "Never seen anyone shower together before?"

Note: In order to save water, we should shower together. Muku-chan and Basil-chan are just doing their part to preserve the environment. Silly Tsuna.
