Work Text:
Takumi and Tsubasa just got back home together and immediately got greeted by Yugamu, right at the door.
"You two returned fast, haven't you? Did your date go okay?"
"Yeah, everything went great!" Takumi answered, taking off his shoes.
"It was starting to rain so we thought it'd be better to finish the date at home," Tsubasa added "with you and Darumi preferably."
"I wouldn't love anything more." Yugamu smiled at them.
"Another movie night then? Let us just go get some towels, the rain really caught us bad on our way." Takumi tried to squeeze past Yugamu at the doorframe, but he blocked the way with his hand.
"Ah! I'll get them for you. If you walk in now the floor will get wet."
"It's fine, really. The house needs cleaning anyway." Tsubasa tried to go through as well, but Yugamu was insistent. "Besides, I really need to pee."
"I really don't think this is the right moment" said Yugamu.
"What? Why?" She asked, both her and Takumi confused, but they didn't get an answer. "Yugamu, if you won't let us in this second, I'll make Takumi sleep on the other side of the bed, so you two can't cuddle anymore!" Tsubasa threatened.
Yugamu understood she was being serious. It was never a good idea to mess with Tsubasa, she could be the scariest person they all knew if she wanted to, so he complied.
"I still don't think it's a good idea for you to walk in there." Yugamu followed the two of them. "It's... messy."
"Messy? Is that why you didn't want to let us in? Seriously, how bad can it be?" Takumi rolled his eyes.
"Pretty bad. You know how Darumi is... She couldn't help but splash it all over the place."
"...Splash it?" Tsubasa wasn't sure what he was trying to say.
"We really tried our best, but it just wasn't coming off. We even resorted to using bleach."
"...What?"
Takumi and Tsubasa looked at each other, both hoping the other one would know what the hell Omokage was talking about.
"I tried telling her using a knife for it wasn't a good idea either, that it would only make a mess, I really did... She just wouldn't listen, said it's no fun otherwise." Yugamu shrugged.
"Don't tell me..." Takumi refused to believe it. He didn't want to. He truly didn't want to, but with an ex assassin saying all those things, was it possible that they...?
"In our bathroom!?" Tsubasa realized it too, seeing Takumi's expression.
"Well, where else were we supposed to do it? In the living room? I don't think you would enjoy walking in just to see this mess, you know how it is when you're dyeing..."
"DYING!?" Takumi freaked out, not letting Yugamu finish and grabbing him by the clothes. "How can you be so calm!?"
"I'm gonna throw up..." Tsubasa covered her mouth, trying to stop herself from doing so.
"Woah, Takumi... I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be that serious."
"THAT serious!? Of course it is THAT serious! Do you even realize what you've done!?"
"Calm down, Takumi! It's no use right now! We need to focus on helping them!" Tsubasa put her hand on Takumi's shoulder.
"...You're right" Takumi exhaled, trying to focus. He let go of Yugamu and looked him straight in the eyes. "Where did you hide the body?"
...
...
...
"... The what?"
Before anyone could say anything else, the bathroom door swung open, Darumi storming out.
"Mistress Tsubasa!!!" She shouted, running up for a hug.
Her hands were entirely blue, as well as the back of her neck, parts of her ears and forehead, even her cheeks. Her hair looked freshly dyed.
"Darumi!?" Tsubasa exclaimed. "What happened to you?" She cupped her face, examining the blue marks.
"I was dyeing my hair and it got a little messy... We wanted to clean it before you come back but it just wouldn't come off. You're not mad at me, right?" She asked with puppy eyes.
"Hair... dye...?"
"Yes..." said Yugamu. "Darumi insisted on redyeing her hair by herself and it was... quite a tragedy. I almost scrubbed her skin off, trying to get it off of her." He sighed. "What did you two think?"
Tsubasa and Takumi sent each other relieved looks.
"Nothing, really..." Takumi laughed nervously.
"...You didn't think we murdured someone, did you?"
"Of course not!"
"The bathroom does look like a real crime scene though!" Darumi laughed, latching onto Tsubasa. "If blood was blue, that is."
Yugamu giggled to himself, while Tsubasa and Takumi seemed to feel absolutely exhausted by the situation, but they did smile.
"I guess instead of a movie night it's gonna be a cleaning night then?" Tsubasa suggested.
"Wah!" Darumi tensed up. "Are you sure we can't do that tomorrow?" she asked.
"It surely was an eventful day. Maybe we should just leave it for now?" Takumi agreed with her.
"I was planning to do my hair tomorrow anyway. I usually manage to get it done without dyeing the furniture, but maybe we should finish cleaning after that, just in case." Yugamu added.
None of them wanted to spend this night scrubbing the hair dye off of the floor and sink, and walls, and shower, and...
"Ehh, okay..." Tsubasa sighed, but she was glad she won't have to do it right now either. "Me and Takumi will go change, you two can get some snacks in the meanwhile. We'll choose a movie after that."
Darumi cheered ready to rush to the kitchen but was stopped by Takumi.
"Just one question. What did you need the knife for?"
Darumi looked at him as if he was the dumbest man alive.
"To open the hair dye packet? Duh?"
Takumi couldn't help but to put head in his hands as Darumi sprinted off. Her... creativity was too much even for him.
"I still can't believe you two could think we would be heartless enough to kill a man in our own bathroom." Yugamu said, pretending to be disappointed, but a slight smirk was visibly forming on his face.
"I already told you! It's not what we thought!" Takumi denied, lying through his teeth.
"It's okay, really... You were willing to help us dispose of the body and evidence after all, so I may forgive you this cruel assumption for let's say... One hundred kisses?"
"What...!?" Takumi yelled in shock. "That's way too many!"
"Oh, come on Takumi, we'll have plenty of time during the movie. You won't even notice when you get to kiss one hundred one."
"You really should go help Darumi in the kitchen before she breaks or burns something." Takumi tried changing the topic, hiding his blushing face.
"Sure." Yugamu chuckled. "I'll ask her how many apology kisses she wants from
Tsubasa."
"TWO HUNDRED!" Darumi screamed from the kitchen, clearly eavesdropping.
Tsubasa rolled her eyes.
"Fine" she said gently laughing at her girlfriend.
"What!? You're agreeing to this?" Takumi asked, surprised.
"We kind of owe them. When you think about it, we were pretty dumb for assuming they would just... Off someone in the bathroom for no reason."
"...You're right."
Tsubasa pulled Takumi into the bathroom for them to finally dry their still wet hair with towels and Yugamu left for the kitchen, satisfied, making sure to blow them both a kiss before leaving.
