[doubleppk]

Who: Fujiko, Gokudera, possibly others who run into Fujiko (sub, Vongola, Roxas, or people with a reason to be there only please)
Where: Sub to Vongola.
What: Fujiko's smoking a cigarette and helping Gokudera who got his hand trapped.
When: After her date with Havoc, before picking up Lupin (Valentine's Night)
Why: She's emotional
Rating: PG-13 for language and Gokudera/Fujiko's respective tempers



Fujiko needed a cigarette break and now. The post was mortifying although she felt she was doing a decent job covering up the embarrassment. On the other hand, Havoc had managed to disarm all of the traps to her room, sneak in that morning and wake her up with a smile on his face. He'd gotten a boxing glove trap to the face for it, but when she realized it was Havoc and not Lupin they talked. She mentioned Lupin showing up at dinner and he hadn't been thrilled, but he wasn't saying much of what he thought of it.

She need a reality check. Her adopted little brother, however much he hated it. And that meant seeking out Gokudera. Where the hell was he anyway?

He's hiding in the kitchen, because he'd NEVER really hang their of his own will. No one would think to check there for him and he'd much prefer that. Gokudera doesn't want anyone to find him with the bottle snuggly fitted around his hand, grip on the Vongola's fifth ship tight so it can't be damaged by his flailing. His boss knows about it and is busy looking up cures, since they can't find much lubricant available on the ship.

Fujiko wandered in, stopping by to ask Fay and see if he still had the cupcakes and grinned at the sight of Gokudera. Then laughed softly at the glass on his hand. "You okay Gokudera-kun?" she purred musically amused and genuinely cheered up a little from her problems.

Roxas stepped out into a hallway of the sub, the dark corridor he had just used closing in on itself. Taking down his hood, he studied his new surroundings for his next target. The Valentine deliveries were causing more of a challenge to deliver in person than just placing it in a room.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

He'd been busy gnawing on his lip while looking the other direction, but it seems his idea of 'I can't see you, you can't see me' isn't working. Gokudera visibly jumps at her words, face going red with irritation and embarrassment. "Shut up." The teen moves his trapped hand a little closer to his side so it isn't sticking out so obviously. "What does it look like?!" He growls, shoulders hunching defensively.

[doubleppk]

"Roxas?" Fujiko blinked in surprise, "When did you get here?!"

Clearly all of her traps must have been off today. At first she was impressed with Havoc being able to disarm them but now she wondered if it was more of a fluke.

[doubleppk]

"Like your hand got caught in a cookie jar," she laughed. "Literally. What the hell were you trying to do?" She steppe closer to take a look, reflexively dipping into a stance on the balls of her feet, ready to duck, block, or run away. Ah the problems with violent "little brothers."

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

"Dark corridor," he says, pointing to the wall. His face is almost expressionless as he holds out the bag containing the Valentine in her direction. "Here. I'm making deliveries and this one's yours." At least he had found Fujiko faster than he had the last deliveries, but he still wasn't done.

[doubleppk]

Fujiko peered at the bag distrustfully. She never accepted candy from strangers. Especially those who explained their random appearances to places with some sort of 4th dimensional shadow ability. It ws just fucking creepy. "Who's it from?" she asked nervously.

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

He blinked at Fujiko for a moment; it seemed obvious that he forgot to read who the sender was before coming. Quickly shoving his hand inside the bag, Roxas removed a small red Valentine card. "'Good Luck'...From Akito." With the card slipped back into the bag, he gestured for Fujiko to take it while hoping to be on his way.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

The embarrassed blush seems to grow darker and he turns, tucking the bottle against his side and trying to block it from her prying eyes. "Knock it off, it's none of your business!" He's sure if he told her why, she'd be unable to keep her mouth shut about it.

[doubleppk]

Blinking in surprise, Fujiko grinned. "Awww Akito..." she purred happily. She needed to get that shark pillow to him. Struck by inspiration she snapped her fingers. "Roxas! Please can you do me a favor and take something back to them?" Without waiting for an answer whether he could or couldn't, Fujiko ran back to her room, jumping over the electric spike trap she re-armed and pulled a giant hammerhead shark plushie she'd bought for the twins. Inside was a small pouch with shuriken for Agito, though she wasn't sure how interested she'd be. She'd written them a long letter since it had been ages since she'd last done so and they never seemed to say everything online. "Here," she grinned. "This is for Agito and Akito on the Seven Sins crew. If it's not too much trouble!" she batted her eyelashes, as though assuming it was just a simple matter.

[doubleppk]

"Is that the ship?" she peered at it, hopping around and darting around Gokudera's defenses. "You can't pull the ship out silly, we haven't found anything to expand it yet."

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

"Who said I was going after the ship?!" He growls and gives her the purest look of irritation he can muster. "Anyways! Did you want something, or did you come here just to laugh?! Cause I really don't want to deal with it!"

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

"Wait, I can't- hey!" Roxas yelled, reaching out a little as he watched Fujiko take off to somewhere else. He still felt the weight of the gift in his hand, making him wonder if he should just leave it and go. Once she returned, he only stared at the shark plushie before accepting it and shoving the bag in Fujiko's direction again. "Fine, just take this already. I'll have to deliver it if I get their gifts or after I'm done with all this stuff."

[doubleppk]

"Yeah I need a cigarette break, but I can't take you seriously like that. Here. Let go of whatever you're trying to pull out and I'll get you out of it." She reached into a pouch sewn on the inside of her catsuit belt and pulled out a vial of lube she used when she tried to get gems out of tight spaces. Trap-makers were just mean sometimes.

[doubleppk]

"Thanks Roxas!!" she grinned ear to ear and took her bag from Akito, tasting it cheerfully. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

"But then how the hell am I supposed to get the tree out?" He asks, voice whining a little as he holds out his hand, but still maintains a firm grip on the front deck of their old ship. Even if the Tenth was more concerned about his friend's hand, Gokudera promised he wouldn't break anything. He's a man of his word, and he's not going to fail just because he needs the use of his hand and is killing for a cigarette.

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

Roxas turned around, shoving his hood back up in the process with the shark plushie tucked underneath an arm. "Yeah...You too," he said, sounding stiff as a newly summoned portal opened against the wall.

[doubleppk]

Fujiko stared at the bottle for a moment with a blank expression and then gave Gokudera a small smile. "Aww you're sweet sometimes kid," she grinned. She picked up the jar and looked around at it. "Hm. Normally I'd slip my fingers tie a string around the trunk and pull out my hand, THEN pull out the tree but if you do that you'll completely smash up the ship. I think she'll just have to get a different tree. In the meanwhile, water it, get sunlight and leave the jar unstoppered."

[doubleppk]

After talking to Gokudera and Miranda Fujiko knew the course they'd set on the ships was getting them close to the infamous Arsene Lupin III. The radar she'd set up on her laptop was pinging, the were practically on top of him now. She wandered out and went to go find the ex-... whatever Lupin qualified as and instead found a completely empty raft. She nearly had a heart attack thinking a seaking or a giant birt got him instead but the lapotp was gone and yet her laptop was still pinging on his. Oh great. The wolf was loose.

He frowns down at the ship and the tree he'd been so determined to bring his girlfriend. Gokudera reluctantly releases the tree, straightening out his fingers and trying to relax his hand now so she can help him with the lube. "I'll think of something..." He should be happy that he isn't destroying the ship and that he'll be free, but this whole incident has completely ruined his plans for the lover's holiday, and nothing will stop that cloud of disappointment hanging over him.

"Eieh heh heh, this laptop has a little camera on it."

Behind Fujiko Lupin had perched his lanky body on nearby rails, holding the laptop toward Fujiko with a long smile across his face. What a pretty dame she continued to be, especially on film. He lowered the computer and looked at her; it had been so long since he actually looked at her.

"Hello, Fujiko-chan."

He wasn't as top-form as he should be around her--dark crescent moons had started to form under his eyes from the slight fever his wounds had brought on, and there were two very messy rips through his jacket that revealed bandages underneath.

But he wasn't one to give up his charm just because of chicken scratch. Still, despite how much he slept on the raft, he was exhausted. His face was still pretty smooth, considering how hard it was for him to pop up a beard. Zenigata was far more suitable for a marooning than he was.

[doubleppk]

That look on his face was hearbreaking really. If she didn't adore Gokudera and Miranda so much she could have ignored it, and tried to focus on herself but... "Couldn't you get her a new one and put it in the greenhouse? The cloud kraken beat up the ones we used to have, but they have to come from somewhere, rght?" She carefully slipped the lube around his hand and the jar. "Pull," she commanded.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

"But this one was special to her." He says and remembers stringing lights inside it to light it up. It was really beautiful at night and he won't admit that it reminded him of her every time he walked on deck to smoke. "It won't be the same." Gokudera does as he's told, eyebrows knitting tighter as he feels the pressure around his hand and it's almost painful. He stops for a moment, "Hold on to the jar. Tight." Like hell he's going to risk breaking it.

[doubleppk]

"Lupin!" Fujiko turned around, unable to quench the smile that lit up her face. It was too many emotions all at once; around him it always was. A year of waiting to see him and there he was looking beat up like hell, but almost dazzling. She sashayed up to him, teasing him with swaying hips and pouty lips smiling. "You lied again," she chided and dove into pockets in the black catsuit to pull out bandages and ointments. He was already partly bandaged, but she tended to them anyway, old habits dying hard and remember vaguely that just days ago she'd been doing this for Havoc. When it rained, it really poured.
