Chapter 1: My New Friend, Takeshi-kun

Tsuna was walking through the park by himeself.

"Tsu-kun, momma has to go shopping, so why don't you go play in the park? Remember, don't go off with strangers!"

"Woof!"

"HIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" the brunet screamed, quickly climbing up the nearest tree.

Looking down, he could see a small dog. He didn't know what breed it was, or if it was going to bite him, but he wasn't going to take any chances!

"Jirou? Jirou? Where are you? We have to go home soon!" a voice called out.

From the corner of his eyes, Tsuna could see a boy about his age walking towards his tree.

"There you are, Jirou! Oh, what are you doing here?" the boy asked. He had warm brown eyes, and dark black hair. The dog that had scared him ran up to the raven, licking his face.

" "Um... Could you maybe help me?" Tsuna asked weakly.

"Just jump down! I'll catch you!"

"B-but... What if you drop me on accident?"

"Don't worry! It'll be fine!"

Closing his eyes, the brunet jumped, and landed into his other boy's arms.

"Ahaha! See, I told you! Now, what's your name?" the black haired boy asked.

"My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, but I prefer Tsuna! I'm seven, and thanks for saving me!" Tsuna said.

"Nice to meet you, Tsuna! I'm Yamamoto Takeshi, and I'm also eight! Nice to meet you! I hope we can be good friends!" Yamamoto laughted.

"Tsu-kun? Mamma'a back! Let's go back home!" Nana called.

"I'm sorry Takeshi-kun, I have to go. I hope I see you again!" Tsuna exclaimed.

"S-sure! I do, too!" Takeshi blushed.

Dinner that night at the Sawada household was Salsbury Steak. Tsuna scooped some rice onto his plate.

"Okaa-san! Okaa-san! Guess what?" he said excitedly.

"What is it, Tsu-kun?"

"I made a new friend today! His name is Takeshi-kun!"

"Oh! Was he that boy I saw you with earlier?"

"Yep!" Tsuna grinned, and shoved a bit of steak into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it soon afterward.

Inwardly, Nana smiled.

'Tsu-kun was so cute with Take-kun! I hope they get married!' the woman squealed inwardly.
