I REWROTE THIS STORY!

I was not pleased with the way it was, after a while simply hated this story, so today I took my time and rewrite the first 3 chapters. Every mistake is my own and I would do my best to correct them if you point it out.

Hope you like this version better, if you even remember the old one considering it is been years since I even logged in here :)

Chapter 1 : Morning Surprises

It was a very normal morning at first. Reborn, being the hitman he is woke up very early. He sit on his bed and glanced around the room. After that much time in his student's room, having a room for himself still felt a little weird. He arched his long arms and fingers like a cat and stood up. It was being almost 5 months since Verde found a way to age them up fast enough and get them their real age in a week. After then, he was gone for 4 months, making up the time for being a baby. Now, being on his own body after that much time, he had so much powerful needs considering the baby days. And with a certain someone around it wasn't easy to keep himself under control.

The thing that bothered him was what he had done at a starry night. It was just a usual trip to his students bed, to check he was okay, had no wounds for tomorrows torture. Being a baby had its benefits, he just simply jumped and landed on between the brunette's face and the wall. The thing happened then. He was feeling a little weird around the kid lately but couldn't figure out what actually was happening to him. So when he came across the cutest face on the earth, it was a little bit shocking for him.

The brunette was sleeping peacefully, plump lips slightly parted, exposing the pink tongue inside. Eyes closed and beautiful and long eyelashes touching the chubby cheeks. He was beautiful. So cute.

It was out of character for the baby to think like that but he couldn't help it. After all that, he finally admitted that he came to love Tsuna in many ways, although he didn't think "as a lover" was one of those ways. He also didn't think he would ever find himself staring at his student and wishing he was in his own body so he could do what he desires to do him.

But being the hitman, he tried to take control over his feelings and get back from the teen. At the following days, he put a distance between himself and his charge. He knew it wasn't the brunette's fault, no ones really, but he couldn't forget about the warmness in his heart when he looked at him and to not be able to control things, even his own emotions, was not acceptable for "the best hitman in the world".

So yeah, it was a very good 4 months for him, some distance between them and being able to fulfil his desires was awesome. And when he came back, he was expecting to find the brunette like before, waiting for Reborn, still at the same distance he left.

He wanted to give him a good fear when he came back. One night, he sneaked inside the teen's room, expecting to find him snoring. But he couldn't even find the brunette on his bed. So he went back and came from the door, a little pissed that he couldn't do what he wanted. When Nana took him in, they sat at the kitchen, all children trying their best to not to sleep, as if waiting for something, but not being able to. After a few hours, when they started to snooze, Nana took them to their rooms.

It was than the brunette came, one arm around his right-hand's neck, his rain guardian hugging his waist for support but they all laughing histarically. It turned out that they were at Enma's place, "as usual" having a party. That was the first time Reborn felt that he might have done a mistake, when Tsuna just examined him for a minute and asked "So you are back, huh?" while not even bothering to look him in the eye.

Since then, they had this coldness between them, Tsuna not even bothering to look him in the eye, no matter what happens. Reborn tried for it really hard, but he couldn't get teen's full attention. He wasn't even able to see the teen as much as he used to. When he tries to create extra time with him, just to be able to figure out what is going on, Tsuna always came up with an excuse. And those were the stuff Reborn couldn't say not important, like "having a meeting with the family" or simply "homework which he needed to do alone to see how much he can do on his own"

Long story short, at the morning, last thing Reborn expected to see was his student who was in the kitchen, making some coffee. He couldn't keep away the curiosity from his voice.

"You are early today. Tonight's party was not as satisfying as usual?"

Tsuna turned back to see the hitman; which he knew was there since for at least 5 minutes, feeling his eyes on him.

"No, we didn't drink last night. Good morning by the way."He said, as if he was talking to some stranger.

Reborn swallowed the want to punch him, and answered as cold as brunette.

"Morning."

"You want some coffee?"

"Since when do you drink coffee?" Reborn asked, after nodding to confirm the question, successfully not showing his surprise about that matter.

"It is been 4 months." Tsuna answered, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Reborn pretended not to see that, for the sake of not killing the stupid brat. And he also pretended not to be surprised when the coffee was just the way he likes.

What was this morning and surprises, anyway?

For a while, everything was normal, talking about this and that, then they sat quietly for a while, drinking. Reborn's eyes never left the brunette, while he kept not looking him in the eye. It was irritating, but the hitman was a man who ignored every kind of emotion, so he sat there like he was fine with just watching the kid.

It was then it started. Tsuna finished his coffee as fast as he can, and put the cup aside. Then he started staring at Reborn. His eyes never leaving the hitman, nearly never even blinking, he just stared, to his clothes, to his hat, to this and that but never exactly to Reborn's eyes.

It was an annoying competition, but Reborn was never a man who ran. So he kept staring back, waiting until the kid looked him in the eye.

A minute passed. Then Tsuna stood up, going slowly towards Reborn. He leaned to him and put his hands either sides of the older man's cheeks. Then he stared directly at his eyes, not like a lazy look, which is how he examined, but a strong, determined look. So many feelings were in those big brown eyes that kept stared into the pitch black ones.

Then with a voice thick of emotion, Tsuna said, "Welcome back."

While Reborn sat there in shock, Tsuna just left, without even bothering to look back.

It took Reborn a couple of minutes to figure out that no, Tsuna never said welcome back to him ever since he did come back.

Reborn said with a voice barely louder than whisper "It is a little late for that. "
