Idiomatic

Gokudera's expression was pained, but Tsuna supposed he had good reason for it. Several, actually, most of them clearly visible. "Can we never, ever speak of this again?"

Yamamoto continued to laugh like a hyena.

"I wouldn't count on that," Tsuna said, as Yamamoto slid sideways in his seat, clutching his stomach. "Honestly, Gokudera--"

"He wasn't supposed to take me literally!" Gokudera protested. "I didn't mean for him to actually bite me!"

That set Yamamoto off again. Closer inspection showed that his cheeks were wet—funny, Tsuna had thought 'laughing till you cried' was a figure of speech. "Well," he said, when Yamamoto had wound down enough that he could make himself heard again, "I suppose we know not to ever use that phrase around Hibari again, anyway."

Yamamoto slid the rest of the way to the floor, chortling feebly, as Gokudera covered his face and groaned, "Yes, Boss."

Sometimes you've just gotta go for the crack. *snerks*

(Especially when you've seen one too many versions of that picture with Hibari actually chewing on someone's head.)

*LAUGHING* ♥

[lysapadin]

*grinning* I'm so mean to Gokudera.

[umarekawareru.livejournal.com]

I can totally relate to Yamamoto /laughs/

[lysapadin]

*laughing* Yeah, he thinks that Gokudera gets into the most awesome scrapes ever.

Poor Gokkun. I'm so mean to him sometimes.

[umarekawareru.livejournal.com]

He really does, doesn't he. *laughs* Poor, poor Gokudera.

All writers are sadists. We not-so-secretly enjoy making our characters suffer. *g*

[lysapadin]

*grinning* Definitely.

I try to console my characters that I like to make it up to them after they've suffered, but I'm not sure they're convinced.

*snorting into her pillow* (Yes, I surf the Internet on my bed. *is bad*)

♥! I feel dearly cheated over not getting to see the context in which Gokudera uses this phrase.

[lysapadin]

*laughing* Ah, but that wouldn't be nearly as funny as whatever it is you're left to imagine, yes?

[fromastudio]

Damn it, woman, you're just justifying your cheating.


(Incidentally: best part about long unintended hiatus? You've always written lots of fic for me to chomp my way through through by the time I get back. *beams*)

[lysapadin]

Well, yes, naturally.

(*laughing* Oh yeah. There's a lot of fic up there. *very amused*)

[mercuria]

XDDD Gokudera, people wouldn't want to torture you so much if you weren't so damn adorable in the aftermath. *loves on this*

[lysapadin]

Hahahah, I do love me some Gokudera poking. He's so easy to get riled up.
