I was rereading Ore-sama Teacher again and got inspired to start a new story. These will be short drabble-ish chapters instead of my usual long ones, so there may be a slight chance of faster updates as long as I've got my creative juices flowing.

Damn this kid. Tsuna is just so adorable and I'm addicted to kid/family fics with him.

Summary: AU At the sound of loud noises, five-year-old Tsuna gazed out of his bedroom window only to see several moving trucks with an unfamiliar emblem. Follow along as Tsuna grows up with his strange terrifying new neighbors. Familial!Varia.

Warnings: Language, Violence, mentions of MxM, Abuse, Potential Disturbing Mental Images, Varia-I think this one covers all of the above actually, Alternate Universe, and probable OOCness.

Pairings…what is this thing called a pairing? No official ones, but there is at least one definite one-sided MxM obsession planned. It's also a secret as to who it will be and will remain so for a long long time.

KHR's Owner: Not me obviously.

Chapter 1: The New Neighbors Are Royalty

There was rumbling outside. Lots and lots of rumbling. Like the sounds the garbage truck made every trash collection day. It sounded like there were ten of them out there.

Tsuna wrinkled his nose, his chubby face scrunching adorably as he rolled over and buried himself further under his covers.

Most of the rumbling had stopped now, but there were other sounds to replace it.

*CRASH*

Tsuna shot straight up, heart pounding as he tried to take in his surroundings.

The brunet slowly crawled to the edge of his bed and peeked out the window. Several moving trucks with a shield on each side were lined up and down the street. He could see men in suits and uniforms rushing about. Some were carrying boxes. Others were wheeling small handcarts or pushing trolleys with big bulky packages on them. Apparently some people had dropped a huge chair, and now they were arguing about what to do with it seeing as a leg had broken off. They sounded rather scared.

Tsuna's eyes widened, any thoughts of sleep rapidly fading away. Someone was moving into the Hanada's place next door! In fact, someone had not only bought the place three months ago, but had it torn down and rebuilt as well. It didn't even look like a house anymore.

Huge black metal double doors with golden handles and lion head knockers replaced the old red wooden one. The house itself, which had once looked like every other house in the neighborhood, was now a fancy stone monstrosity with multiple spirals, turrets, and points on the roof. Overall, it looked like a tiny castle. The front and back yards looked like they would not be out of place at a sprawling mansion, with their stone paths, multitudes of rose bushes, a gazebo in the back and the ornate topiaries surrounding the fountain in the front.

Even the surrounding white concrete walls that fenced in nearly every house in on this side of Namimori had been redone to match the stone sides of the castle. Black metal bars tipped with spikes topped off the top. The view of the yard itself was obstructed by imposing black barred gates guarding the start of the wide footpath leading to the castle doors. The only thing that was missing was a moat.

If Tsuna was a little older, he may have questioned how so much extravagance had been able to fit into such a tiny plot of land or how it had even been built so quickly.

He saw the men going into that castle, for the word house would never do it justice, with their burdens and leaving without them for the next four weeks, but he never had any indication of who the new owner was. The new owner must be royalty though. Who else would be rich enough to build something like this? Not to mention the broken chair, which had looked suspiciously like a gold and red throne.

Whoever the new owner was, he hoped they would be nicer than the last family. The Hanada's daughter, six-year-old Hisako, had liked to throw rocks at him and often pulled his hair just for fun. Surely royal people, who would be far too busy doing royal people things, wouldn't have time to do such mean things to him too…right?

That tiny castle is probably breaking all sorts of neighborhood regulations, but hey, money rules the world, along with Namimori. Besides, who really wants argue with the Varia? For Hibari fans, he is a very distant figure in this fic and won't be getting any prominent roles until much much later.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, you are an awfully optimistic child even though you've spent your early years being bullied by a little girl.

Story Trivia: Did you know that this was supposed to be as a high school AU where Xanxus, Tsuna, and Squalo were best friends/boyfriends? Somehow the plot evolved into a Varia-family fic, but I am determined to get around to making that AU someday even if it only turns out to be a one-shot.
