*Expect surprising turn of events in the latter part of the story. :)

"W-Where's brother?" Tsuna asked his mother while sitting on the dining table munching on his breakfast.

"As usual, He went to school already. Mou, I told him to wait for you but he said he has something to do and left." Nana answered with a smile on her face. "It's fine Kaa-san."

Nana is well aware that her two kids aren't as close as brothers should be. Keita is cold and he avoids crowds while Tsuna is warm, He has no fiends but he has something in him that would make people love him if they try to open their eyes. But whatever their differences may be, Nana still unconditionally loves the both of them.

At School...

"Uwaa! That was close! I'm almost late." Tsuna just reached the class room when the bell rang.

"Almost got your ass kicked by Hibari again, Neh Tsuna?" One of Tsuna's classmates said which was followed by laughter by the others. Tsuna ignored them and walked toward his seat. A few seconds later, the door opened again and Nezu-Sensei came in.

"Be thankful that I am your teacher, because of my amazing teaching skills that I got from an outstanding university, I was able to educate you well. Almost all of you passed in your exams, except for one." Nezu's eyes suddenly darted on his least favorite student, Tsunayoshi before speaking again. "Why don't you at least try to become your brother? He's quiet and intelligent unlike you. Are you sure you're brother?"

Laughter and murmurs were heard right after Nezu spoke.

'Tsuna's brother is cool and handsome, maybe Tsuna is just adopted?'

'How could they be brothers?'

'I hope I have a brother like Keita-Sama'

Tsuna felt his cheeks turn red because of shame and anger. It's not his fault that he is not his brother. But even if people always compare them, Tsuna never felt envy and he never held a grudge against his brother. He can do nothing if He really is stupid, so just he just looked down and pretended he didn't hear anything.

"S-stop it already! I know Sawada-Kun is trying his best to improve his grades and… and… He's not doing anything against you guys so stop bullying him." Kyoko Sasagawa suddenly stood up and spoke. This shocked everyone in the room. The School Idol is protecting Dame-Tsuna…?

Tsuna suddenly raised his head to see who stood up for him and was shocked to see that it's Kyoko, the School Idol whom he secretly admires.

After School…

Tsuna was hesitant but he has to do it anyway. He approached Kyoko the moment her best friend, Hana left. "S-S-Sasagawa-San, T-thank you for earlier. Goodbye!" Tsuna turned away to hide his red face and was about to run when a hand grabbed his shoulder. "Wait! Sawada-Kun, You shouldn't be shy, let's become friends, neh? Kyoko said with a smile which added more redness to Tsuna's already red face.

"E-eh? Are you sure? N-nobody wants to be friends with Dame-Tsuna…" Tsuna said.

"I do. You're not really Dame, are you? People just expect you to be as good as your brother. What was his name again?"

"Maybe. Keita."

"It's good to have a brother isn't it? I also have a brother his name is Ryohei, he's a third year student.

"Really? Just like my brother. Yeah, it's good to have a brother even though we're not really close."

Tsuna and Kyoko continued their conversation for a few more minutes until Hana came and dragged Kyoko home. Tsuna, who was left, didn't notice the evil glares coming from the other boys who admire Kyoko as well.

'Whoa! That was the first time I talked to someone for too long and it was Kyoko!' Tsuna thought as he walks home not noticing the trace of smile on his face.

"Tadaima!" Tsuna shouted as he entered their house. The first person he saw was his brother who just nodded. He then went to his room to change his clothes.

'I want to ask him if he knew Kyoko's brother and start a conversation with him, but I… I'm too shy.'

Tsuna and Keita were always like this, it's not that they hate each other, but more like, they have nothing to talk about or they are just simply shy to talk to each other and no one can explain why.

The next day…

"Morning Kaa-san!" Tsuna greeted his mom as he sat on his chair ready to eat breakfast.

"Ohayou Tsu-Kun! I called a tutor and he will come over today." Nana announced surprising his son.

"Eh?! Who needs a tutor? My grades are fine and – " Tsuna was not able to finish what he was about to say when they heard a knock on the door.

"Ah! That may be him! Nana said cheerfully and opened the door.
