✿⁠ Fon was absolutely certain his tea set had exactly 7 cups, but now there are only 6 left... Breathing exercises are great for anger management. Skull appreciated them too, even though he now drinks his tea from a tin can.

✿⁠ Verde claimed that adding color pigment to Reborn's new bullets was just a minor side effect of the experiment. Imagine his surprise when police reports described Reborn's victims as purple bodies with blue polka dots that eventually glowed green even underground.

✿⁠ Colonnello, who was training Sasagawa Ryohei, was pleased with his running results. However, when Ryohei broke through the dense forest and found his mentor missing at the finish line, he was extremely annoyed. Turns out, Falco got stuck in the high pine needles with Colonnello on the way back, so they had to redo the run.

✿⁠ Nothing annoyed Lal Mirch more than having to explain her point multiple times during training. No wonder her wedding ceremony with Colonnello got postponed over and over again.

✿⁠ The 9 Vongola was a wise leader, but he couldn't understand one thing: why are young people so afraid of phone calls? International phone calls. International phone calls with a mafia boss on the other end of the line. Sawada Tsuna was not mentally prepared to explain this in the middle of a school lesson.

✿⁠ Gianini was thrilled to present his new invention for the Vongola, proudly showing off his technical blueprints. It wasn't until the evening that Tsuna asked Reborn if he should politely call and thank Gianini using the phone number helpfully left on one of the drawings. With a smile, Reborn informed him that it was actually the price of the invention, excluding taxes and shipping to Japan.

✿⁠ Spanner could have sworn the new Moska couldn't walk, considering its legs hadn't been attached yet. However, when the robot went missing, Spanner was ready to reconsider his stance. He spent the rest of the evening reading Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus."

✿⁠ Tsuna's father wanted to bring souvenirs from Italy for his wife and son, but asked them not to expect anything too expensive, citing delayed wages at the construction site. Sawada Nana asked for a set of cooking spices, while Tsuna asked his father to get lost.

✿⁠ Basil still actively used archaic Japanese words and expressions, even in writing. Ultimately, when CEDEF arrived in Japan, they were stuck at the airport for about 5 hours due to Basil's bizarre phrasing on the documents. To everyone's collective dismay, the young Japanese border control officer took his job very seriously.

✿⁠ Brutus, Bono, Michael, and Ivan, having received some days off from Dino, decided to go on an overnight camping trip. As luck would have it, the weather turned absolutely awful that exact weekend. In the end, the Cavallone spent the entire following week organizing a search and rescue mission to find their missing colleagues in the woods amidst a storm. The next time, Dino just gave them tickets to a highly guarded nature reserve with a tall perimeter fence. In the winter.

To keep your basil producing leaves, you have to continuously snip the flowers off, which will cause the plant to branch and produce more leaves as it seeks to grow more flowers

In other words, to continue to be useful, basil must be sabotaged by its caretaker….

Basil.

A prince of the Vongola has been assassinated. The spymaster suspects Timoteo's bastard son. In response, he sends his changeling agent to build a rapport with Xanxus's pet vampire, and a comedy of manners ensues.

Day 1 - Storm Day: Forced Proximity | Dark Fantasy AU

I’m nominating Basil for the nation’s boyfriend this year because...

He's perfect and unproblematic and wonderful. He is who I mean when I say "not all men". The bar is no longer subterranean with him. The old Japanese dialect is not an ick for you. Please just give my thoughts the time of day.

He absolutely adores watching historical dramas with you, and will spend free days cuddling under soft blankets on the couch with entertainment from the cheesiest soap-opera trope-ridden shows. The only annoying thing about watching these shows with him is that he’s a straightforward and solution-driven man. He always goes off mumbling about how things would not have spiraled out of control in the show if people communicated and weren’t like, evil and weird about it. That gives you fodder to rant to him about how the shows are stupid and that you have no idea why the two of y’all are so hooked on them. The two of you do have a ton of inside jokes as a result.

“So.. [y/n], what sayest thou is.. the Japanese they speak in this show is not the modern dialect?” You nearly spit out your tea as you fought back the bout of laughter at his realization, and soon you were guffawing at the top of your lungs, feet kicking into the air as you doubled over into his lap in happy hysterics.

Speaking of being in his lap, I think he smells like barley tea and rice flour and warm, freshly washed and sun-dried cotton. There are some evenings where he's finishing paperwork and he would allow you to take a nap in his lap as he shuffles through the files and forms. He smells so good y’all please throw your arms around him, pull him close, and get the biggest hit of pure warmth and comfort. I would sleep like a baby in his presence fr.

He would be the perfect boyfie because he’s a professional errand runner. Studying into the AM or working overtime? Schedule permitting, he’s on his way with a soft warm hug, a blanket, a sweet treat, and your favourite snacks.

He makes a mean matcha or hojicha latte, and makes them pretty regularly for you as your daily dose of caffeine (unless you don’t do caffeine, in that case.. he would simply learn how to perfect your morning drink of choice).

Basil loves quality time, but y’all absolutely cannot have it all because he’s so busy and overworked. He handles it like a champ, surprisingly, and complains very little (if at all) about work, but you do notice that he falls asleep nearly instantly when he comes back to you after being away.

There is nothing in the world more comforting than laying his head in your lap or on your chest and wrapping his arms around you, snuggling close and feeling your fingers threading through his flaxen locks, smoothing them out, fiddling with split ends, and massaging his scalp. You’re always the first one to nag him (playfully) about his bangs getting long again and asking him what he intends to do with his hair now that it’s gotten to that length.

He’s the one I’d totally pin as more traditionally romantic, like, writing love letters and leaving them by your pillow, with your morning tea/coffee, slipping it into your work bag before he leaves for another excruciating span of time, and of course, sending them your way while he’s away.

If you want an offline bf, he is the one, babes. He cannot wrap his head around social media, and upon thinking about it, begins to ponder the negative psychological effects of observing the self and being constantly pressured to present the self and one’s brand online. He's not against other people being online and having social media, but he's the kind of guy that texts like a boomer and doesn't know what a meme is. He will absolutely like and comment on your instagram posts (or allow you to like and comment on your own posts from his device) if asked.

He didn’t know what memes were until Iemitsu started sending them in their correspondence (and Iemitsu sends the most outdated memes from like 2000 that nobody thought they would ever see again in their lifetime). Now the closest thing to a meme you’re getting from Basil is a photo of some samurai painting from the history museum and a follow-up text message, “me when I’m away from my wife/husband/spouse because I am fighting for honor and glory in the war” like HELP???!! WHO IS THIS?!?!

However, he loves photography. There’s something very valuable to him about immortalizing a moment through photos, but he isn’t a “the camera eats before we eat” kind of guy, he’s the guy that likes to take pictures of waterfalls and cool native plants and rare birds to commemorate his adventures. It's the best way to keep a piece of a space while leaving no trace.

He keeps a journal and shares some of the entries with you during your quality time together. He likes to save fallen leaves or flowers from different regions that he comes across, being mindful to press them dry and make sure that he isn’t moving plant pathogens around in his nostalgia notebook.

Basil is really good with his hands and is fairly skilled at dexterity-based crafts such as weaving, calligraphy, and he absolutely excels at origami. He would never tell you this, (because he has his fair share of secrecy due to the nature of his work, and the weight of his human heart, of course) but he folds up some of his failed poems to you in the complex origami that he gives you. He knows that you would never unfold his work, so in a way, he gets to deliver the half-baked expressions of his feelings about you without the vulnerability and potential embarrassment of how impossible it is to put into words (as eloquently as he would like, anyway).
