Happy Birthday

Chiara first met Tsuna at his fifth birthday party and immediately proceeded to follow him around everywhere. The adults thought it was baby love, but what it really was was fascination, for little Chiara could see a pure Sky flame burning brightly inside of Tsuna.

Being brought up in the mafia world, Chiara had been exposed to many different types of flames and different purity levels, but none had looked as pure and bright as Tsuna's did. She was drawn to it like a moth to a flame and it was freaking Tsuna out!

As the adults were conversing in the kitchen the two children were left to their own devices in the living room. Tsuna was playing with his newly gifted stuffed animal while Chiara stared at him with an intent focus uncommon to young children.

Tsuna was desperately trying to ignore the girl in his house, but she kept staring at him and he didn't like it when people stared at him!

After five more minutes of this Tsuna couldn't take it anymore and pushed his little body up from the ground and took cautious steps towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. All the while he stared at the girl from the corner of his eyes to make sure she wasn't following him.

No sooner then he had thought it, the little girl got up and swiftly caught up to him at the base of the stairs, scaring poor Tsuna.

"Hiiieeee!"

The little girl just tilted her head slightly to the left as she watched Tsuna have a mild panic attack.

Scared and emotionally tired from having strangers in his house all day Tsuna did his first brave thing of the day and said to Chiara, "Leave me alone!" and raced up the staircase.

...Only to slip and come back crashing down to where he started.

Startled at the impressive display of clumsiness, Chiara quickly rushed to Tsuna's side and checked him over for injuries. Finding only bruises and one small scratch on his hand, she reached into the hidden pocket in her overalls and took out a small Band-Aid.

Chiara quickly took off the wrapping and pressed the Band-Aid to Tsuna's scratch, then to Tsuna's shock kissed the Band-Aid before releasing his hand.

"There," Chiara said nodding at her work. "Are you okay Tsuna-kun?"

Blushing Tsuna nodded yes in response.

His reward was a bright smile. "I'm so glad! Oh! And happy birthday!"

With that she gave Tsuna another kiss this time on the cheek, and Tsuna promptly passed out.

"Tsuna-kun!"

Before everything went dark Tsuna couldn't help but feel that this was the best birthday he'd ever had.
