"So, what are you trying to say?"

All five – a very nervous Tsuna, a perplexed Gokudera, a very… normal Yamamoto and Reborn, and very, very, very hopeless and confused Dino – sat in the middle of Tsuna's bedroom in a circle. No one talked for a while and the only sounds were of Reborn's sipping on the lychee flavored juice box that Mama had given him.

For the last few hours or so, Dino had been rambling on and on about irrelevant things that had no connections to one another: his pet turtle threw a rampage and had gone missing (to which Reborn told him it was the season for them to mate), he couldn't find any interest in anything anymore and he hadn't been eating well (Reborn thinks these were signs of withdrawal and asked if his ex-student was an alcoholic/smoker or a druggie, to which Romario quickly denied), and sex just didn't satisfy him anymore (to which Reborn commented that he was a disgrace to the male population and proceeded to beat him with Leon).

But really, as Romario explained, the blond was just stressed out because his 26th birthday was nearing in 2 months and the tradition said that every Cavallone must marry before he is 25, but somehow Dino's case had went unnoticed until recently when the central family's councilmen called upon the issue. (But Reborn pointed out that Dino just hid the papers they sent him and forgot about them (or burned them), to which Dino suspiciously denied.)

"Not only that, but I have to bear a child one year after my marriage!"

"Well, I don't see what the problem is. Just marry some good-looking chick and get it over with. Adopt if you have to," somehow, it just sounded too easy. "Then divorce her. See, no attachments!"

"Go…Gokudera, I don't think it's…"

"-not that easy!" Dino cried. "They'll conduct a blood test to make sure it's mine!"

Everyone stared as Dino fell over face-first out of his sitting position.

"You… can always go to the doctors and have them put your sperm inside of her without having any sexual penetration with her…" all heads turned to Yamamoto and Dino literally swam on the floor over to the brown haired man.

"B-But But I don't want to ruin her future like that! She might think I'm a failure who's scared of sex! And-And I don't wanna lie to a girl by making her feel special by marrying her, but I'm really just using her to make an heir to my family so that I won't be a disgrace to my old man's memory and then divorcing her! Not having sex with her after marrying her is equivalent to being a disgrace!"

Romario sighed from where he stood as Dino choked for air. "What the boss is trying to say is… he's in love with someone right now and does not want to marry anyone else, for reasons known to him only. This person also… cannot have children. It's just impossible for them to have mini Dino Cavallones."

"Can't have babies? Sterile?" A blush appeared on Dino's cheeks at Gokudera's comment.

"It's… not that."

"What is it then, Dino-san?" Tsuna tried to look at his face, trying to find any hint of the answer. Romario cleared his throat and Dino looked up at Tsuna, suddenly clutching the boy's elbows. "U…Uh, D-Dino-san?"

"Tsuna, you have to help me – I… I think… I think I'm in love with Kyouya."

From somewhere in the room, someone dropped their glass.
