"Hey Donmon! It seems you have been redecorating, love what you have done with the please so dark and obvious villainous. In fact, that reminds me of this little antiques shop down the street that sells high quality mahogany desk, I though you would like to know. And before you ask, why yes I would love some tea."Thneednight announced,slipping in through Don's office window once again.

“No.” Don groaned,”Not you again.You were here not a day ago…” He said nothing regarding the antique shop Thneednight mentioned,having already replaced the broken pile of wood the two vigilantes smashed just yesterday.

The man had thought of not letting the masked Onceler have any tea either,but he was a better host than that. When Thneednight sat himself opposite him with an expression that read,”Well?Get on with it.”,Don quirked an eyebrow,did he really expect the mafia boss to pour and serve him tea?

"The vigilante just gave a cheeky smile- Oh I’m sorry.I was just expecting that a dapper and well educated man like you, would have the slight grasp of basic etiquette towards someone older than him, but I guess that’s expecting much from you sonny- says the hero giving a dramatic sigh and walking towards the desk to pour some tea for himself."

“If we’re talking about age or seniority,I’m fairly certain I’m higher on that ladder than you.” Don cracked his knuckles,an obvious sign of his annoyance,but he didn’t stop the masked Onceler for getting his own tea.Watching him carefully so as to make sure he didn’t try anything funny. You can never be too careful when it came to Thneednight and Negathneed. 

"Really?, and how are you so sure about our age difference, but if that’s the case I should start treat you like a senior citizen right? Here a cup of tea for your tired bones!"

“Pretty sure I’ve been around longer than you have.” Don scowled,not even sparing a glance at the cup of tea Thneednight set in front of him. There was his usual policy of not accepting any food from other’s hands,and that he wasn’t stupid enough to trust the masked male so easily yet. 

"You know, in some cultures it is rude to reject a cup of tea, especially if it’s offered as a peace symbol. I mean you think I poisoned or what, please Don I’m a vigilante, Plus I even brought some pastries from that well know café, as a second peace offering."

“Peace offer accepted.But this ‘asshole’ still isn’t going to drink that tea or eat your pastries.” Don replied coolly,obviously still displeased about their first meeting where Thneednight had addressed the mafia boss with that particular name.

The man continued to keep his hands to himself,he wasn’t going to give in so easily with not even a proper apology.

"Hmm.I guess you will not cease this scaredy cat act until I’m down on my knees and kiss your shoes right?, but there are more important things right now than expecting non sincere apologies. Because you see Don, the real reason I come here; it isn’t to have some social interaction with afternoon tea. What I really want it’s to clarify some concerns involving possible collaborations between your “ludicrous organization” with Dr McMonkey McBean---less legal projects."

The mafia Onceler scoffed,”I knew better than to believe your little story about peace offerings.” Of course,why else would a righteous hero waltz into a mafia Don’s territory?

“Ludicrous?” he hissed,insulted that Thneednight would describe his mob as such.But he couldn’t help but laugh at the name the masked Onceler mentioned. ”McMonkey McBean?” he chuckled,”As I tirelessly reiterate,I am just a simple businessman,Thneednight.And my business partners tend to have less..ridiculous names such as McMonkey McBean.” Don lost it again halfway through the name,chuckling as Thneednight pursed his lips in annoyance. 

 "Hey, it's not my fault his parents hate him to named him like that, and I don't have time to be Mr Exposition about the Doctor's long story of illegal investments with genetics gambling. Also the reason I am here is because some of his investment have your name all over - The hero throws some papers on the new SHINY desk showing a list of involved parties, some of them with names heavily related to Don's business."

The Don silently gathered the scattered papers and reads them,scanning over the names.

After a while,he throws them back onto the desk,the documents not scattering out like when Thneednight did.Even such a simple act and the Don could do it more gracefully than the other Onceler.

“You’re correct about some of my business partners’ names being on the list,but I certainly do not see mine.”The man smirked,”If you came here to ask for contacts and information…” Don stood up,going over to the tea counter to pour himself a cup of tea,blatantly ignoring the cup Thneednight poured him earlier.”I’m afraid I cannot reveal any confidential business information.I’m sure you’d understand.”he concluded with a smile,sipping at his tea. 

 "And here I thought you would be a better source than Negathneed. You look like someone more professional and class than him. Because if asked he won't hesitate to give a hand... in a rather chaotic mess, but he will."

“Insults won’t get you what you want,Thneednight.” The Don replied,the use of the vigilante’s full name was enough to show that the mafia boss’ patience was running very thin.

“If Negathneed is so much more helpful than I am,please,go on a rampage with him and discover the answers for yourself. I am bound by mutual trust and black and white writing to not reveal any information regarding my business partners,and I certainly will not be breaking that promise for you.”

"Fine by me, I just wanted to give you a chance but I hope you got a good buffet if you get behind bars because of your little games- The hero blow up another of the windows just to make a dramatic exit, plus leaving a stain on the shiny surface of the new previously unmarked desk"

‘Two more debts to repay.’ Don thought,looking at the shattered glass of what was once his window,and the ugly stain on his new desk.

Those two vigilantes would never stop giving him headaches,would they? He sighed.

"Donnie!!" Just when when the first vigilante disappeared, the door banged open with Negatneed entering the office with both bodyguards trying to stop him but failing to do so when the black masked man closed the door in their noses- Sorry I have to leave so early yesterday, but here take this as a friendship token -four little sweet tarts are put in the table- "Oh.. haven't you repair the window? That's not good to skip your duties Don-Don!!""

The Don had just sat himself back at his desk when his door burst open.”No.” he groaned,head falling into his open palms,”No.No.No.” How much of these two has he got to take!?

He kept his head in his hands as he looked out in between his fingers,”What do you want.” he muttered.  At least Negathneed has chose to enter through a door properly this time,and not through his window…Not that there really was a usable one right now.  

"You don't like them? Oh,my bad, will a kiss make it up for it?" - Smiling,the vigilante started to look around the office,ignoring the expression on Don's face- "I mean everybody likes them, and I won't mind sharing one with you either~"

“Don’t flatter yourself,boy.” Don smirked,watching the masked visitor begin to pace around his office. “What do you want?” he repeated again.

""Oh you really know how to warm a man's heart huh?" Turning on his own axis, Negathneed flashes a little smile at the Mafia boss, while checking in his pants pocket. "You sure you don't want the kiss? Well I understand you're suspicious after all bad start" Using a leg as support, the masked man jumped toward the free chair in the office and looked at Don. "What do I want? Oh a lot of things, I have been a good boy this year. Are you going to be my secret Santa this Christmas?""

“That’s not the only thing I know how to warm.” Don replied,his smirk growing wider.

When Neganight crouched down to prepare for a jump,Don was expecting him to jump out of the window,good riddance! But he didn’t.So the man was now left with a Onceler twirling around in his guest chair.

“You haven’t been much of a good boy in my book.” he replied,as calmly as he could manage.

""Does this mean I am in your naughty list? Ooow I am was about to leave you wine and caviar instead of cookies and milk" Still grinning Negathneed was having a bit of fun twirling in the guest chair, "But honestly you should relax more Don-Don""

“You and Thneednight both.On the top of it,even.” When was it ever going to get through these two’s thick skulls that Don will never eat anything they bring him? Regardless of whether it is cake or cavier?

“And I am relaxed.” he snapped,”You’d be covered in bulletholes right about now if I wasn’t relaxed.”

""Aren't you going eat those? Really? It's rude to not accept food! What if you need something and I won't give it to you because of your lack of politeness!" Standing up the black masked man walked towards the desk and took one of the sweet tarts "Here, say 'AAAAH'" and without any hesitation he pushed the candy inside Don's mouth "See? It wasn't poisoned! Just very sweet treat" Taking two quick steps back, Negathneed watched Don cracking the treat between his teeth at once."

A small “Mmfph!” escaped the Don when he the sweet treat was forcefully stuffed into his mouth. How incredibly rude,he thought.But to make the masked vigilante rest his case,he chewed a little,and proceeded to spit the remaining out into a paper napkin the brie moment Negathneed’s attention was elsewhere. “Should I assume you’re here for a different reason besides stuffing my face with food?”

""Looking at the Mafia boss, the vigilante smiled "Naaah, you look like you will actually need the contrary. Maybe some exercise outside will be good for you." Without erasing that smile, he continued "No offences though! I know that the life behind a desk can be quite demanding too! Oh is that tea?!" Without a second thought Negathneed took the full cup and took a sip "Oh it's cold... well tea is tea, and it can't be wasted!""

For the first time,Don actually hoped that Thneednght had poisoned the cup of tea earlier.The sane cup his visitor was now drinking. He remained silent,watching the intruder,deciding it was a wasted effort trying to find out why Negathneed had decided to visit.

 "After finishing the tea, he looked at the Don "So how do I look in those photos I send you? I am gorgeous, I know, but I am sure you want to say that for yourself. It is a surprise for my Darling""

“What photos?” Then the Don remembered the mail delivered this morning.There was one particularly large envelope he hadn’t had the time to go through yet. He quickly retrieved the package from his pile of mail,tentatively holding it out in front of him as he opened it,half expecting purple smoke or some other weird concoction to hit him…But it was only several photos. don emptied the contents onto the table,staring at the shots in silence for a while.”What.Is.This?” he muttered.

""MAD MONDAY! I was bored and decided to do something for fun!" Smiling the masked man returned to his seat. "I also send some to my Darling and Noir as a little joke, but it seems the actually liked it... oh oh! It help me to make a new friend too" Using one foot, Negathneed starts to twirl in the chair like a little hyperactive child."

“Wear that for your next visit and I’ll show you some real fun.” The Don replied,a mischievous smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. The man sat himself down as well,watching Negathneed twirl around in his chair.Maybe this one wasn’t planning on giving him any trouble today.

 ""Oh,I don't know...It takes its time to prepare it all for a good little laugh" A sudden laugh filled the room. "And what do you know about REAL fun?" Stopping the movement, Negathneed look straight with his own icy blue eyes to the Don's "You aren't exactly someone fun in my books!" Chuckling, the black masked man took out a package of candies and started to eat them."

“I’m sorry if my serious attitude convinces you otherwise.”The mafia boss chuckled,”I have a reputation ti maintain,and unfortunately it has been going towards ‘The Don is a Mr.Nice Guy as will treat you to tea if you visit’.” Slight annoyance seeping into his voice when he explained himself. “Maybe when I find you less of a nuisance I’ll even show you how fun I can be.” he added with a smirk,lighting himself a cigar.

 "Without warning a candy takes the cigar from Don's mouth, Negathneed being the only suspect of such action "Sorry, I just hate the smoke, hope you can understand" Smiling, he stands up from his seat and walk toward the Don, using both his hands as support he leans towards Don's face "No hard feelings right?" Chuckling and dodging another possible meeting with the desk, he takes Don's hand and place a honey candy in the palm "You should try to smile more then to keep out any misunderstanding.""

The Don was smoking the cigar mid-whiff when it was snatched away.’How rude.’he thought again,a hard candy stuck between his teeth as the vigilante neared him,pressing their faces close together. “Wouldn’t want to give people thr wrong ideas.”he smirked,referring to Negathneed’s cooment about the mafia Onceler needing to smile more.Then Don blew the rest of whatever smoke was left in his lungs right into the younger male’s face.Smiling and crunching the candy between his teeth when he was done.

Coughs a bit and retreats two steps, trying to dissipate the smoke from his face, "Quite the contrary! You can make them think you are so easy to manipulate, think that they have the upper hand and then--!! You show your true colours, watching how their skin turn white as a sheet" Putting a candy in his mouth, a smirk slowly started to form in his face, "You know for a good show, I could pay for watch that" A soft laugh erupts from him. "A very good show."

The man hummed in response,”No wonder Thneednight despises you so.You’re even more sinister than me.”

“And ‘Au contraire’,Nega.” Don added, indirectly mimicking the masked Onceler’s own words,”Sounds like you’d perhaps be better at it than I do.Do invite me to one of your interrogation sessions,or whatever it is you do,the next time. ” His fingers twitched a little,wanting to puff on a cigar but remembering that his current one was snatched away moments ago.

"Oh! Naah, Darling is just being a nervous kid" Laughs and looks at the window, "well looks like I must go, hope we can have another lovely conversation soon!" Turning in his heels, Negathneed started to walk towards the door. "And I will send you a word in case I got a good show" His chuckles are still audible even when he has just disappear after the door.

"At least give me back my cigar!" Don shouted after the vigilante,whom only chuckled louder in response. He sighed,pulling out a new cigar from his drawer.These things weren't cheap for god's sake's.Its not that money is an issue to him,but why waste such marvelous products? At least the mafia boss finally got his peace and quiet back now. 

"Donny-puuuuuuu *kicks the door, since his hands are occupied with a big basket* I brought cupcakes!!"

“You were here just this morning!” Don said,his voice louder than his usual conversational volume. His eyes flickered to the door,whose hinges squeaked dangerously,’It better not be broken.’,the man thought to himself.

"I didn't know which is your favourite, so a bring all the possible combinations I know." Totally ignoring the raising volume in Don's voice, while taking a cupcake. "Let's start for the blueberry, then you can eat the banana one, or even the chocolate one with mint, that's must be my better recipe until now" Without warning, using one hand he squish Don's cheeks so the Mafia mob boss will take a bit. "Shuuckie and Lucky told me you were so busy yesterday you haven't eat so here I am to help!""

Wanting to keep his dignity and gracefulness,Don accepted the cupcake instead of sputtering on it like his impulse willed him to. He was still wary of Negathneed,especially of what he said about how he’d fool people into trusting him before turning on them.. And so of course the mafia boss would not be foolish enough as to eat everything.

He nibbled on the pastry,the rich blueberry flavour exploding in his mouth,and he nodded,”Not bad.” 

"No need to be so serious Don-Don! Unlike you, I won't use something so precious as food to poison you as you are thinking right now. Such petty tricks!" Fake sobbing, "and here I thought you knew me better! But your compliments are accepted!" gives him a napkin."

Don ignored the vigilante’s drama,accepting the napkin then putting down the blueberry cupcake and reaching for the banana flavoured one,taking another nibble,”This isn’t bad either.But I still prefer blueberry.”

He was hungry,and like Neganight had said,he hadn’t eaten since yesterday.Though why his twins would tell the masked Onceler that information…He’d have to find out later. “So you’re here only to feed me cupcakes?” Don asked,declining the offer of the mint chocolate cupcake,”I don’t like chocolate.” 

"No? Well there's always someone" eats the rejected cupcake. "Oh I was just passing by, and since I like to cook in my free time," he said a bit resentfully due to his special condition linked to energy. "I decided to visit you again and give you to try, Noir and Darling enjoy them so I told myself 'Why not Donnie?' So here I am" Negathneed told him so casually while munching the cupcake."

“Hmm.” Don replied thoughtfully,”Since you’re gracious enough to treat me to your lovely pastries,”he said as he stood up,”I believe I should treat you to my special Trufulla Tea.”

The man walked over to the tea counter,back to Negathneed as he poured the steaming tea into two cups.Unbeknownst to the vigilante,the Don let slip a few drops of a new drug he acquired,an aphrodisiac.Choosing his visitor to be the first to try it.

Setting the drugged cup of tea in front of Negathneed,Don returned to his seat and sipped at his own,watching the other Onceler and waiting for the drug to take effect,if there was going to be any.

"Uhm, it smells good!" Sniffing slightly the steam from the cup, he carefully took a tiny sip careful to not burn his tongue. He make a alarmed expression that put Don in guard, only to keep his tongue outside his mouth, "Oh oh, it still to hot for me!!! But I am very grateful you are sharing such good brand with me!""

“It’s my personal brand.From the trufulla trees in my plantation.” Don replied,watching Negathneed carefully. The supplier guaranteed that the drug was extremely potent,a few drops would take effect in a very short time…Well,even though the masked Onceler only had a sip…there was still time for him to drink more.The man would just have to be patient as see how well the aphrodisiac really was.

"So tell me Don-Don, how have been your day?" Without breaking his smile, the vigilante took another cupcake from the basket, and quietly continues to eat. "Must be pretty exhausting to be a Don," taking another sip from the less hotter tea, Negathneed tried to break the silence, "since it is a waay biiiig business!""

“You were here 3 hours ago.” The mafia boss replied blandly,holding up the unfinished blueberry cupcake and continuing to nibble at it.

Then he chuckled when Negathneed asked about his work,”Oh? And what do you know about Dons and mafias?”

"Oh just call it curiosity, also I saw the Godfather yesterday, and it kind of remind me of you!" Negathneed slightly chuckled while drinking more tea. "And well... I... " looking around, the vigilante started to sweat. "Seuss Don, you really need to repair your air system, it's getting hot here""

‘Finally.’ The Don thought,hiding the smirk he wanted to let out behind a stoic mask.He spared a glance at the cup of tea,not even half was gone.One point goes for it working fast then. And the next would be to see how strong the effects were.

“I happen to know Don Corleone.Or..knew.” the mafia boss said,continuing the conversation normally.”Extraordinary man,that.So is his son Michael,rather handsome fellow too.” 

"Soooooooo what are you exactly doing, uh uh?" Slowly, the masked man started to get more talkative and tried to watch around looking for anything that could catch his attention. "Is that a new lamp, or did you just change the type of light bulb you are using?!""

“Not that I’m aware of…” Don replied,squinting his eyes a little to study Negathneed.He was red in the cheeks all right,but why was he suddenly so noisy? …Not that he wasn’t noisy before. 

 "Without warning, the black masked man stood up looking around, and noticing the bookshelf, "What kind of genre you? Wait wait, don't tell me!! Uhm I will try to guess!" Looking at the many title, he turned around to face Don, "Mystery, Economics, Politics, Laws and Crime Investigation, amirite? Amirite?!" Bouncing toward the other man, he snatched another cupcake and almost eat it in one bite. "Ohyoushouldtrytheonewithcarrotsitgoeswellwiththisteasinceitisnttosweettoyou" And the drug backfired."

The man’s eye merely twitched in annoyance as the vigilante literally bounced around in his study.

When Negathneed wasn’t looking,he pulled the small bottle of aphrodisiac from his pocket and looked at the label.Well…it did read the name of the new drug,not ‘Hyperactive serum’,so why was the masked youngster suddenly so hyped up?

If this went on the Don was pretty sure he was going to throw Negathneed out the window,and this time,making sure he was tied down good.

"Donniiiiie!!!" Without warning and startling the mob boss, Negathneed hugged the man's head against his chest, "I am boreeeed, but you are moooore boring than meeee or Trenchy, hey did I tell you about how he reacted towards the photos?" Giggling the masked man started to lean forward and backwards like a pendulum while still hugging the Don, "Heyheyhey!! What do you think about TRANSDIMENSIONA TRAVELS?" And without warning, Negathneed sat down on Don's lap, "your guest chairs are so uncomfy""

Don reacted to the sudden hugs with pursed lips and glaring,which Negathneed didn’t seem to notice.He was close to pulling out his gun when the youngster plopped down into his lap.

The other now so close the mafia Onceler could count the light freckles sprinkled around the grinning cheeks. “And I suppose you find me more comfortable instead?” 

"Uhm, maybeeeeee? At least you should put cushions on those wood seats you got! Oh oh oh!! Have you been in the cinema lately? I was there last week with my Darling when he was chasing me, and I decided we should go to a little surprise date. So we went inside," giggling the masked took another cupcake, "and watched the Dark Knight! I love Bane's voice, aaawww yiiiiiisss!" And basically like that Negathneed was now splayed in Don's lap like a cat."

Negathneed needed to stop bouncing in the Don’s lap.That was all that went through the man’s head.The other’s blabbering barely got through to him,mostly because everything came out a jumbled mess of words being spoken too quickly.

The Onceler tentatively reached a hand and slowly stroked down the vigilante’s side,muttering a “Really…” as a reply.

"Eeeyup!! Oh oh! And what do you think about IronMan? huh? Isn't he quite a charming man?" Laughing more freely, he suddenly shut up when he feel the hand stroking him and "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEeeee!!!" he let out a squeal andd falling from the chair "Nooo touuuching! I am very ticklish and... I tend to kick and punch without control" His eyes was the only visible thing from under the Don's desk where he has took refuge."

“…You are so strange.” The Don muttered,crossing his legs to prevent Negathneed from sitting on them again as he watched the masked Onceler giggle madly as he cowered under his desk.

"Giving two or three blinks, Nega just laughed slowly. "Oh what does this button does?" Pressing one little red spot under the desk, the mask man listened to the squeak of a secret door in the wall. "What was that?""

The button was for the small arsenal in the Don’s office,but of course he wasn’t letting Negathneed anywhere near it. Subtly blocking the masked Onceler’s way with his leg,”Nothing.”he said. 

"But I heard something, I truly did... can I have more tea?" Still trying to see, Negathneed was like a restless puppy who wanted to play a lot."

“I’m sure you did.” Don replied,”You haven’t finished your own cup yet.” And Negathneed crawled out from under the furniture,The mafia boss making sure he pressed the hidden button again before the vigilante could spot the hidden door.

"Oh right, right, but it has gooone coooold. Can I have a refill then??" Negathneed whined while taking the cup between his two hands and leaning it towards the Don."

The Don took the cup from the bandit’s hands,or more like,yanked, Bringing the cup over to the tea counter once again and refilling it with more hot tea,making sure to add a few extra drops of the drug.Negathneed’s actions were highly amusing,so far,and the man would love to see what happens when more of the aphrodisiac gets into his system. After all,the mafia Onceler had everything on tape from the security camera in his office,he could aleays use it for entertainment purposes,or blackmail,should he ever need to.

 "Takes the warmer cup and drinks it "Oh golly! You should put a cafeteria, and hired only college students, since they will want the jobs due to his expenses, and make the economic make this ever-loving world go 'round ♫♪~~""

NOW what was the Onceler babbling about? Don merely crossed his arms and looked at Negathneed,puzzled,but still eager to see how much further the drugs would push the other’s brain.

"How bad can I be? ♫♪ I'm just doing what comes naturally ♫♪ How bad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How bad can I be? ♫♪ I'm just doing what comes naturally How bad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? ♫♪~~" Chuckling the vigilante just finished the cup and offered it back to done before slumping in Don's chair."

Oh.Do now he’s singing? The signature Onceler theme song,no less. The Don was lost in his thoughts for a while,those were the days,living life like a Rockstar.Despite him taking pride in his invention he still couldn’t fathom why anyone would buy something such as thr Thneed…And unconsciously,the man began to hum the tune.

"Negathneed lowered his own voice when a little hum reached his ears "Oh so you can sing huh?""

Don continued to hum,bouncing his feet lightly to the catchy tune,”But of course.All Oncelers do.”

Smiling the masked man give a little yawn, "Oh gosh, I need some sugar," going to the basket to grab another cupcake, giving one bite. "Maybe I shall leave for today" Starting to walk towards the main entrance, he doesn't want to give the Don a show about his little 'weakness'.

“Oh? Leaving so soon?” Don smirked,”And I thought I’d have to tie you up and tow you away to get you to leave this time.”

Something was up,Negathneed leaving so obediently on his own accord…But ah well,if Don didn’t get to enjoy the effects of the aphrodisiac then Thneednight will.And the man’s smirk grew wider at the thought.

"Well yeeeeah, I just remember I forget to feed my little babies!" Referring to the little aquarium he has, "and you know children can be quite a handful.... uugh" Opening the door, Nega had to wait a little before starting to walk again a bit more hurried."
