A sigh escaped from a man with gravity defying hair as he signed the last of his never-ending paperwork.

He stared out the window and to the midnight sky full of twinkling stars. He thought back to that night 3 years ago on that reunion.

Truth be told, he was still dumbstruck of what he learned. Who wouldn't? Dame-Tsuna has had an admirer? I mean, seriously?! Out of all people?! Everyone knows that there's a 100% chance that nobody would be romantically attracted to that skinny, wimpy, shrimp who always trips on his own feet and a failure to everything. He has the mother of all bad luck at his side like a koala firmly clinging on to him.

If ever he heard it elsewhere, he would've laugh and brush it off as a joke. I mean, who wouldn't?

It was already automatic that every single girl on campus (or practically everywhere) would be turned-off of him. He wasn't the boyfriend-material every girl wanted back then. He was a complete loser after all.

So when he heard it himself, - and from her own lips, no less - he was speechless. He, the Vongola Decimo - who has all the women declaring their undying love for him nowadays - was rendered speechless by a mere confession. None prepared him for it, not even Reborn.

He sighed once again and shook his head to clear away his thoughts. With a yawn, and a little bit of stretching, he stood up to proceed to his bed chamber to resign for the night.

[ The Next Day ]

Once again, piles and piles of paperwork greeted him in the morning. It seems his cloud guardian and male mist guardian happened to destroy a large part of a small town next to Palermo while having their customary greetings.

Tsuna pinched the bridge of his nose to stop an incoming headache.
'Relax, Tsu. It's still only morning. We can't let this ruin our mood for the whole day.' he told himself.

Then there was a ring from his personal phone. He smiled as he saw the caller ID.

"Ohayo, Enma-kun!"

[ "Tsuna-kun!" ] Came his best friend's distressed reply.

"What happened, Enma-kun?" Concern was clear on his voice.

[ "The Ferrero Famiglia sent an Alliance Request with my Famiglia last week." ] Enma started.

"The Ferrero? They're known to be quite powerful, aren't they? They had just been formed 6 years ago." Tsuna mumbled.

[ "Yes. Them." A sigh escaped from the red head's lips. "But the problem is that they requested me to wed their heiress." ] Enma continued.

Tsuna chuckled at his friend's misfortune.

[ "No, actually their request wasn't the problem." He rectified his answer. "The problem was the woman." ]

Tsuna stopped chuckling and asked, "What do you mean?"

[ "It was just a request after all. When I declined, they didn't push it, really." ]

"Well, that's convenient." Tsuna commented.

[ "Yeah." ]

"So what's the problem?"

[ "The woman was someone we know." ]

"We?" Tsuna asked curiously. "Who is she?"

[ "Do you remember that girl 3 years ago?" ] Enma asked back.

That question made his heart lift to his throat. A sudden dreadful feeling crept in him as he asked. "Where?"

[ "At your school reunion." ]

"Just tell me who, Enma" Tsuna asked impatiently. He could hear his own heartbeat in his ears.

A slight stillness occurred before Enma replied. [ "Shizu Reika" ]

"What?" Tsuna asked in disbelief.

A/N:

*wipes a bead of sweat*

Anyway, this question about why I named my OC's Famiglia 'Ferrero' has been going on even in wattpad, so here's my advance answer to that question.

Well, Ferrero in Italian doesn't mean much (because it's a typo and google translate is gonna correct you but will still give you a translation anyway), but it could be translated as the verb 'Shoe'.

And I thought: If Vongola means 'Clam', why can't I name mine 'Ferrero' which means shoe (Ferrare)?

I mean, I LOVE shoes.

And I love the chocolate Ferrero Rocher.

That's all~!
