A/N: okay, so this is my first try at the KHR category. Actually it is my first try at writing ! so please be gentle with Criticism is welcome also, as I'm a starting writer and in need of guidance whenever possible.

also this story is absolutely NOT SLASH. and also SPOILERS ALERT there might be a little spoilers from the manga, specially the last chapters, but not a lot. Also, this story's idea was taken from Devil Miharu's Ricordi Di Te. That story has really inspired me to write one of my own. anyways...enough with the ramblings of this author and let's get this show on the rode...

Prologue

Sawada Giotto raked a hand through his hair, making it stand more on end than it usually was. At the age of 16 with his blonde hair and astonishingly beautiful sky-blue eyes, he was every girl's dream guy.

Giotto sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time on his way from school. It had been a rough day at school today. Bullies, it seemed, had been gaining in numbers. It was his job as the head of the disciplinary committee to, well, discipline them, and it seemed to be getting harder and harder to catch them at it. Either they, being the members of the disciplinary committee, would arrive too late to catch those bullies at the act, or those who were bullied being too scared to admit the culprit, sometimes both. It was irritating, not to mention frustrating and it was starting to heavily grate on his nerves.

He shook himself from his thoughts and realized with a start that he had arrived in front of his house, with the sign proclaiming it the Sawada residence gleaming brightly. His mother must have gotten a hold of it; sometimes she would get the strange urge to clean everything till it shined brightly, even the littlest of things. He snorted at the last thought, he really would miss his mother dearly and her odd quirks when he moved from the house and into the town to attend University.

He opened the door of his house and just as he was taking off his shoes, a brown bundle came crashing at him with a cry of ''Nii-san!". He fell down to the floor with an 'oomph' sound.

"Tsuna!''.

His remaining words died on his lips as his little brother gave him a bright, toothy smile.

''Welcome home Nii-san!''

He smiled down at Tsuna and ruffled his hair in response. With brown hair and chocolate-brown eyes, Sawada Tsunayoshi looked nearly exactly the same as his older brother Giotto.

''What have you been up to while I had been to school? I hope you didn't give mom too much trouble did you?''

He asked his little brother as he hefted him up on his back, deciding to give him a piggy ride on their way to the kitchen where, he was sure, his mother and father where-abouts. At five years old little Tsuna was quite the trouble maker.

Just the other day he was given a brand new crayon colours and his mother had left him for only ten minutes in the play room. When she came back, she had found the whole room's wall decorated in colourful scribblings, clearly made by a child, and not a single crayon colour left in its containing carton.

Giotto shook his head with exasperation, and sometimes, wonder, at some of the adventures little Tsuna started telling him on their way to the kitchen. How could he get in some of these situations completely bewildered both his parents and Giotto.

''I'm home!''

He called out, as he entered the kitchen to find both his parents sitting at the kitchen table as he had predicted.

''Welcome home son'' His father, Iemitsu, boomed with a warm smile directed at his older son. With his short blonde hair that he obviously gifted his older son with. While his mother- Nana- with her brown hair, which she obviously had given to Tsuna, replied more calmly, but not with any less warmth than his father's booming voice,'' Giotto dear ! welcome home! How was school today?''

He started to reply to his mother's question when a tug at his hair drew his attention to his little brother.

''Nii-san, I wanna play outside!''

He was reluctant at first, but one look at his brother's puppy-dog eyes solved his dilemma immediately. He could never say no when his little brother gave him those eyes!

''Alright Tsuna, we can go outside and if you were a good kid, I might even take you out to get candies!''

His brother's squeal of delight was his only answer as he scooped him up in his arms and started to tickle him mercilessly.

''Okay, okay Nii-san! I'll be good! 'Promise!''.

Laughter was the only thing left in their wake as they headed towards the front door of the house.

Nana and Iemitsu shared an amused glance at their sons' behavior and had one thought running through their heads.

Their little son, Tsuna, sure had Giotto wrapped around his little thumb.

They never thought that their happiness was not meant to last.

A/N: phew...even though that was only four pages...it was really difficult to write with so many ideas running through one's head...anyhow...hope I did a decent job and I hope you wonderful readers will find the time to review and tell me how I did :D
