Tsuna- age 5

Without further ado, I present you "Connection Between Brothers".

Tsuna twisted on his bed, unable to sleep. The constant pattering of the rain against his window did not serve as a lullaby, rather it became a huge distraction which made Tsuna think about his older brother Giotto once again.

Giotto had left on a school trip with his class for a couple of days, leaving Tsuna without a companion to play with. With Giotto's absence, it had became a rather boring day and to think today's only the first day that Giotto was absent in their home. Just how will Tsuna survive throughout the rest of Giotto's trip? That answer had no answer at the moment and it seems that it never will have one.

Tsuna pouted and changed his sleeping posture, thinking that this might be the cure. And of course, it doesn't work. Tsuna tried changing his pillow thinking that maybe he wasn't able to sleep because the pillow wasn't just right, tried flipping the blanket over thinking that the cool surface might lure him to sleep, tried to sleep on the other side of the bed, etc, and none of these methods work.

Giving up, Tsuna decided to lay on his bed and resorted to counting sheep instead.

One sheep...

Two sheeps...

Five sheeps...

Seven sheeps...

Oooh, there goes a yummy cotton candy!...

Ten sheeps...

Wow, that cloud looks like nii-san's hair!... Hehehe...

Twenty sheeps...

And so on and so forth. Even if Tsuna counted one-hundred sheeps, he just couldn't fall asleep and somehow, always manage to think about Giotto one way or another. He even saw Giotto's face on the sheep he was counting! And somehow it looks yummy too... Mmm...

Tsuna glanced at the digital clock by his bed and saw that it was 2:35.

It was already so late yet Tsuna doesn't feel the slightest bit of exhaustion and sleepiness.

Suddenly, Tsuna thought of an excellent idea. It lifted his blanket and sneaked out of his room, tip-toeing so he wouldn't wake his parents up. It wouldn't be good if his parents found out that Tsuna's wasn't sleeping and Tsuna would hate to disappoint his mommy and daddy, especially his mommy.

Tsuna arrived at Giotto's door and twisted the doorknob open. He went in and immediately felt relaxation and comfort. His brother's smell invaded his nostrils and it reminded him of vanilla. It seems that Giotto did take Tsuna's suggestion to use a vanilla body wash product.

Tsuna jumped onto Giotto's bed and pushed his face into the pillow.

Smells like Giotto...

Despite the fact that Giotto's gone, Tsuna felt that Giotto was right next to him, sort of like an invisible ghost hanging over him. But it doesn't matter how, Tsuna just felt so safe and protected. Funny that all it took was for Tsuna to smell in Giotto's smell.

And just like that, Tsuna slowly feel asleep hugging Giotto's pillow as if his life depend on it.

The next day, Nana woke up and went to wake Tsuna up and didn't find Tsuna on his bed. That automatically upsets her due to the fact that Tsuna always like to sleep and would never wake up later. In fact, if Nana never wake Tsuna up, he would be able to continue to sleep until 12 in the afternoon.

Nana searched under the bed, inferring that Tsuna fell on the floor and rolled under the bed when he was sleeping because Tsuna do move around a lot in his sleep.

Nana's frowned deepened. Just where was her baby? She called her husband and the couple went to search for Tsuna.

They checked various rooms and every spots of the house but Tsuna was nowhere to be found.

Nana was on the verge of breaking down and calling the police.

"Wait, Nana. We haven't check Giotto's room yet," Iemitsu said warmly, placing a comforting hand on his wife.

Nana nodded faintly and the two traveled up the room and walked into Giotto's room. To their surprise, Tsuna was indeed in Giotto's room and it seems that he was quite comfortable there with his face lying on the bed without a blanket covering his form.

Nana, being the worry-wart mother, hastily spread the blanket over Tsuna to keep him from getting sick.

Nana looked over to Iemitsu and the two decided that they should let Tsuna sleep more seeing as he looks like he wasn't ready to leave his haven yet.

And Tsuna continued to snore lightly, having fun in his la-la land.

Tsuna rushed to the door once the doorbell rang. Nana scolded Tsuna teasingly to calm down while she go check who's at the other side of the door. And indeed, it was Giotto. Once Nana opened the door, Tsuna leaped into Giotto's arms and in response, Giotto twirled Tsuna around, lifting him higher.

"Did you miss me, my Tsu-chan?!" Giotto hugged Tsuna closer and gently kissed him on his forehead.

Tsuna enthusiastically nodded his head. "Miss you this much!" Tsuna then spread his arms as far as he can to demonstrate his point. He would have fell onto the ground if not for Giotto putting a tight but not to the point of suffocation hold on Tsuna.

"Wow there, I get it!" Giotto laughed. "I bought you a gift Tsuna."

"Gift? What is it?!" Tsuna started to bounce, clearly very excited.

Seeing Tsuna' reaction, Giotto place Tsuna on the ground and unzip his bag. He handed Tsuna a light-brown teddy bear with caramel eyes. "Like it?"

Tsuna didn't smile as Giotto thought he would be. "What's wrong, Tsuna?"

Tsuna didn't respond and left running upstairs with Giotto's gift on hand.

Giotto ran after him, coming up with a list of why his baby brother reacted this way inwardly.

What startled him when was when Tsuna shoved a yellow teddy bear that bore the same eyes as Giotto in his hands. "Wha-?"

"Tsu-chan wants to give you this teddy bear, but you give Tsu-chan one, so..."

And then Giotto finally understand just what was the problem. Since Giotto also bought Tsuna a teddy bear, then Tsuna's gift was unoriginal and not unique anymore and seeing as Tsuna was really upset about this tells Giotto that he really thought hard about this gift and was obviously very disappointed.

However, Giotto knew how to solve the problem. "Tsu-chan, think of it this way. Since we both bought each other teddy bears, this shows that we have a really strong brother connection which isn't something everyone sibling has. We're the number one brothers in the world!"

"... Really?"

"Of course! So I take this yellow one and you take this brown one," Giotto said as he took the yellow bear from Tsuna.

"And now we need to make sure we never lose it, okay?"

"Okay!"

Giotto ruffled Tsuna's hair and went to play with him to make up the few days that he was absent due to the trip.
