Hello guys! Nina-chan reporting for business!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Nina, and it's very nice to meet you all. For those of you who already know me, welcome once again. Today I bring you guys my very first Reborn fanfiction. For the longest time I've been trying to write one, but I didn't know what to write it about, so I kinda had this idea on my head and went with it. I hope you all enjoy.

This story is set in an AU, where no one is part of the mafia. I promise one day I'll write a story that goes along with the plot, but today is not the day. Also, I have various genderbent characters.

Here are the couples for the story:

Giottoxfem27

80xfem59

69x00

DaemonxElena

XanxusxSqualo

And whatever other I decided to make along the way.

PS: I'm truly a big fan of 18x27. Honestly, they are my favorite couple. Is just that for the kind of story I'm planning on writing, it wasn't going to work out. So I decided to go with my second favorite pairing when it comes to our beloved Tuna-fish. So any hardcore 18x27 fans out there, I'm truly sorry. I promise I'll write other stories where they are the main couple.

That being said, I hope you guys enjoy the story. See you next chapter!

Chapter 1: You're a what!?

The one thing Tsuna hated the most about the morning was being woken up by her obnoxious alarm clock. It would always make her jump out of bed and fall on the floor. Honestly, couldn't she start her mornings in a good way? Apparently not. Groaning, she got up from the floor and turned off her alarm. It was only six thirty in the morning, and as much as she wanted to go back to bed and sleep some more, she had a class right at eight that she couldn't miss. Summer vacations were just two weeks away and this meant that final exams were coming up and final projects were due. She was in the borderline of going insane. Tsuna had never been the greatest student of all. Sure, she had come a very long way from "Dame-Tsuna" back in middle school, but she still wasn't the best student. Luckily for her, she had amazing friends and an amazing boyfriend who were always there to help her out.

Yawing, Tsuna walked around her room, and gathered all the stuff she needed to take a shower. Once in the bathroom, she turned on the water and while she waited for it to get hot, she brushed her teeth and tied her hair up in a bun so it wouldn't get wet. She looked in the mirror and saw the dark bags underneath her eyes. She wasn't getting much sleep, and she was sure Giotto was going to worry about her. Putting that aside, she quickly showered, after all she didn't want to be late. Once she was out of the bathroom, she headed back to her room to get ready. Since summer was almost here, the temperatures lately have been pretty high. Today, wasn't going to be the exception. Tsuna decided to dress in a pair of white shorts and a light blue shirt. She brushed her waist long hair and left it down. She hated make-up, and it was very rare the time she wore any, she didn't need it anyways. Putting on a pair of white sandals, she headed downstairs for breakfast. To her big surprise, right there at the table, was sitting her good-for-nothing father.

Most people would say Tsuna hated her father. This wasn't true, she didn't hate him. She just despised him with a passion. For as long as Tsuna can remember, her dad had never been present in her life. He was always working far from home, and whenever he visited, was because he didn't have a job. She thought she shouldn't be complaining too much, after all, it was thanks to his strange jobs that they were able to live comfortably. However, Tsuna was still mad her dad. When she was little,she prefered to have less commodities, if that meant he would be around more often. Not only did she missed her dad, but her mother did too. As Tsuna grew up, she just started to dislike his father for practically abandoning them. Ever since then, the two of them haven't had a good relationship.

"Tsu-chan, good morning." Her father greeted her. Tsuna decided to completely ignore the greeting.

"Don't call me that, I'm not five anymore." She replied coldly. Iemitsu could sense the anger on his daughter's tone. It pained him greatly to know that his own daughter disliked him so much.

"Come on, Tsuna-chan, your father has finally come back after all the time he was out. You should at least be nice to him." Nana said to her daughter. Truth was, she hated seeing her daughter and her husband fight. Sure, she could always hide it behind a fake smile, but it did hurt her.

"Of course mom." Tsuna gave her father a fake smile. "So dad how was your trip this time? How was your job? I'm sure it was better than your family, that's for sure. You, I'm sure there's job around here which are probably willing hire you. But no, you'll rather stay in bumblefuck nowhere instead being around taking care of your family like you should be. But, the Hell am I saying, it's not like you've ever cared." Iemitsu was shocked at his daughter's words. When did his little girl became like this?

"Tsunayoshi!" Nana yelled. Tsuna said nothing more on the matter, neither did Iemitsu. Tsuna look through the window and saw her boyfriend's car already outside.

"I gotta go, Giotto is here to pick me up. Bye." She grabbed her school bag and was out the door. She quickly walked towards the car and got in.

Honestly, no matter how bad Tsuna's day is, or how mad she is, seeing her boyfriend's gorgeous face made it all better. Tsuna had met Giotto back in highschool, when she was a freshmen. Giotto had moved to Japan from Italy and was three years her sempai, but she got to meet him because her best friend was Giotto's best friend sister. Giotto wasn't only an extremely handsome person, with his spiky blond hair and those beautiful light orange eyes of his, but he was also an amazing human being. He was sweet, caring and was always willing to help those who needed. Despite being part of a very rich family, he never behaved like an asshole, or thought of himself being better than anyone else. On the contrary, he used his family wealth to help others. Tsuna still wonders what did he saw on a girl like her. Giotto was the man of every girl's dream, while she was just your average, 19 year old college girl. She wasn't overly pretty, nor wealthy, nor smart. There was simply nothing special about her, or so she thought. What did Giotto saw on her, she doesn't know, but she was very glad he saw it. She couldn't imagine her life without Giotto, she just simply couldn't.

"Well, you look like you are in a good mood." Giotto sarcastically said after he gave his girlfriend a quick kiss on her lips.

"Of course I am." Sarcasm had become one of Tsuna's talents thanks to her best friend.

"What happened?" Giotto asked, they were already on their way to school.

"Well let's start off by saying that I'm running on two hours of sleep. I couldn't finish my literature term paper and my father was home this morning." This was Tsuna's response. She was tired, and the whole thing with her father wasn't making it better. Luckily for her, today was her day off from work so she could just rest after school.

"That does sounds like a rough morning." Giotto said to her, grabbing one of her hands, keeping the other one on the steering wheel. "If you want, take a quick nap until we arrive to school. It's only about 20 minutes, but that's better than nothing." Tsuna smiled at her boyfriend. He always worried so much about her.

"It's fine, besides if I fall asleep I won't be able to talk to you." She said with a smile. Before Giotto had a chance to say anything, he heard his phone ring.

"Can you check my phone, Tsuna? It's probably G or Asari. They are the only ones who would text me this early." He asked her. Tsuna nodded and grabbed his Iphone and saw the text. Tsuna quickly read the text, and laugh.

"It's from Asari, it says 'Please tell me the calculus test isn't today.' What should I reply?" Now Giotto understood why his girlfriend had burst out laughing when she read the text.

"Tell him that he's out of luck, because the test is today." Tsuna almost felt bad for Asari, almost. She knew he was a smart guy, he would probably be fine. Soon, they arrived to school.

"Since we have some time before classes, why don't we go and have some breakfast?" Giotto asked Tsuna, who just nodded. She could use so breakfast and an energy drink. When they arrived to the cafeteria, Tsuna went to look for a table while Giotto went to get breakfast. She sat at a big table, knowing that soon their friends would arrive. Talking about friends, she was able to spot her two best friends entering the cafeteria.

Hayato has been Tsuna's best friend ever since they met. Sure, the girl was aggressive, hot-tempered and cursed almost as much as her brother, but deep down she was a wonderful person, who would kill anyone who hurt those she loved. In Tsuna's eyes, Hayato was one of the prettiest girls she had ever seen. Her silver and slightly curly hair reached halfway down her back. Her bright green eyes always seemed to shine with their own light, although Tsuna didn't know if it was because of happiness or mischief. Holding her hand right next to her, was a handsome guy, yet not as handsome as Giotto, at least in Tsuna's eyes. He was tall, fairly taller than Tsuna and Hayato. His spiky black matched perfectly with his chocolate colored eyes. No matter how bad things were going, Takeshi would be the kind of person who could cheer everyone up. Maybe that's why he and Hayato got along so well. They complemented each other perfectly.

"Hey Tsuna," Hayato greeted. She sat down, with Takeshi next to her. "Where's Giotto?" It was very rare to see Tsuna without Giotto around.

"He's getting breakfast." She reply. Right at that moment, Giotto comes back with a tray on his hands.

"Hello guys." He said as he sat down. "Where's G?" Asked Giotto looking around for his best friend.

"He's at home, hungover. He couldn't wake up this morning so he decided to skip his first two classes, show up for his calculus test and then go back to sleep. Honestly he looked horrible." Everyone in the table laughed.

Giotto and G had been best friends ever since childhood. At this point, they were practically brothers in everything but blood. Actually, this is how Giotto was with all of his friends. For him, nothing was more important than his friends, other than Tsuna and his grandfather. They had been friends for as long as Giotto can remember, and honestly he couldn't think of a time where his friends weren't there for him. Sure, they were completely different from each other, and often got in each other's nerves, mainly Alaude and Daemon, but they would all kill for each other. That much Giotto knew.

"Okay Tsuna I suggest you either eat your breakfast in less than a minute or take it to class because we need to be there in five minutes." Said Takeshi to Tsuna. They all had the same class.

"Shit!" Tsuna said as she quickly gathered her things and grabbed the yogurt and energy drink Giotto got for her. "I'll see you at lunch." She said as she gave Giotto a kiss.

"See you guys at lunch. I love you." He said to her once the kiss was broken.

"I love you too." Tsuna reply, then she was gone. Giotto just stared at the direction in which his girlfriend had just disappear, hoping she would turn around and come back. Unfortunately, she never did.

"Honestly, every time I see you two together, it makes me want to puke." Giotto didn't need to look at the person speaking to know that it was one of his best friends, Lampo.

"Good morning to you too, Lampo." He said in response as the green haired guy sat next to him.

Lampo was the youngest out of all of Giotto's friends, being only Tsuna's age. When Giotto met him, he was nothing more than a spoil brat. Even when this fact hasn't totally changed, Lampo was certainly a better person than he was back when Giotto met him. Lampo was the "baby" of the group, and even when they would rather die than admitting it, Giotto knew they all protected him more than the others. It was almost an involuntary thing, probably since he was the age of most of their brothers and sisters. Normally, Lampo was a pretty easy going person, although he can be very annoying when he wants to.

"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Giotto asked.

"It got canceled. Honestly I woke up early for nothing. How about yours?"

"My class doesn't start for another half hour." Responded Giotto.

"Have you talked to Tsuna?" Asked Lampo. Giotto just took a deep breath, knowing exactly what Lampo was hitting to.

"No, not at all." Was his response.

"Well you might want to do it soon, since you are kinda running out of time." Giotto knew that Lampo was right, yet he didn't knew how was he going to handle the whole situation.

"I know I'm running out of time Lampo. I'm just trying to figure out a way to tell her without fucking everything up. I'll figure it out soon, I promise." Lampo decided to say nothing more on the matter. If Giotto said he'll figure it out, he would.

Tsuna was fighting to stay awake during the lecture, and she was miserably failing. Every five minutes she had to pinch herself to wake up. Fortunately for her, she wasn't the only one. Right next to her, Takeshi was practically taking a nap on Hayato's shoulder, who seemed to be the only one fully awake. She really wanted to just fall asleep. She wasn't even processing what the teacher was saying anymore. She really needed another energy drink, and she still had a whole day to go. She couldn't be happier that today was Friday. As her professor kept talking, Tsuna kept drifting into sleep, until eventually she gave up and fell asleep.

"Tsuna, Tsuna wake up." Hayato said as she shaked her best friend. Slowly Tsuna opened her eyes and yawed.

"Did I miss anything?" Tsuna asked once she was somewhat awake.

"Other than the professor reminding us every three minutes that our term paper is due on Monday, not really." Answered Hayato, Takeshi almost jumped out of his seat.

"Wait a second, our term paper is due Monday? As in this upcoming Monday?" He asked. Given his reaction, the girls assumed he hasn't even started his paper.

"Yes Takeshi, as in this upcoming Monday. Tell me you at least have a topic for it?" Hayato asked, slightly aggravated. How could her boyfriend take college so lightly, she didn't know. But then again, they were talking about Takeshi.

"I'll just have Asari help me out." He said with a smile. Good thing his brother was a literature major.

"Whatever, let's just go to our next class." Hayato said as she grabbed Tsuna and Takeshi by the arms and lead them to their next class.

By the time lunch came around, Tsuna finally felt the effects of the energy drink on her. She finally felt awake. She knew it wouldn't last for long, but as far as she made it through the day she didn't really care. They made their way to the cafeteria, where the found a smiling Giotto and Asari, and a very bad looking G. His hair was a total mess, and he was dressed like he had just gotten out of bed. He also looked like he had gotten no sleep. Asari and Giotto were just sitting there, each with a coffee in their hands, while G had his head against the table. Tsuna had never seen him like this. He must had have one hell of a night. Asari next to him, look just as good as always. He looked like he needed a nap, but other than that he looked perfect. Fate was just being cruel to the poor tattooed man. Hayato just pulled out a bottle of aspirin from her bag and tossed it to her brother, together with her bottle water.

"Drink the aspirin, it should help with the headache." G raised his head from the table, grabbed two aspirins from the bottle and drank them.

"Thank you." He said to his sister. Giotto next to him, was laughing. "This isn't fucking funny." He told him.

"I'm sorry G, I swear I'm not laughing at you. I'm just laughing at the fact that you, Daemon and Asari went drinking, you guys drank the same amount of alcohol and here you are, looking like shit, Daemon couldn't even wake up with morning and Asari is here looking like nothing happen. That's what I'm laughing at." After his explanation, everyone in the table, other than G, laughed.

"How do you know about Daemon?" Asked Takeshi, slightly curious.

"Mukuro and Chrome were just here a minute ago and they told us about their brother." Responded Asari. Well that explained things.

After the guys had lunch, they decided to go home. Tsuna, Hayato and Takeshi's last class was canceled, so they had nothing more to do. Giotto, Asari and G still had one more class to go, so Tsuna agreed to wait until Giotto got out of his exam, then they could do something together. Tsuna just sat in the cafeteria, catching up in homework and studying for her upcoming exams. She was so concentrated on studying that she didn't notice when Giotto showed up again.

"Hey, you are out early." She told him once he was sitting next to her.

"Yeah, the professor let us leave as soon as we were done with the exam." He explain to her with a smile on his face.

"Do you think G is in a good condition to drive?" Tsuna asked. By what she had seen during lunch, G really shouldn't drive. She was afraid he might fall asleep while driving or something.

"Don't worry about it, Asari is giving him a ride. G didn't drive this morning either so he's safe." Giotto said as he helped his girlfriend pack her stuff. A couple girls were staring at Giotto, while they glare at her. Over the years, Tsuna has gotten used to the glares or others. After all, she received them every day.

"So what do you want to do?" Asked Giotto as they walked to his car.

"I don't know. There's nothing that I wanted to do so I'll let you pick." Tsuna reply.

"Well, I have to go grocery shopping, so we can go and do that. Then we can just hang out at my house and watch a movie or something." Suggested Giotto. Tsuna nodded, she liked that plan.

The trip to the supermarket was interesting to say the least. Living all by himself, Giotto lived out of frozen foods and take outs. Throughout most of the time, Tsuna was trying to convince her boyfriend to buy fresh ingredients so he could learn how to cook, after all frozen foods weren't really healthy. Giotto just brushed it off, saying that if he wanted to eat actual food he could just go to Tsuna's or have G and Hayato over for dinner. Tsuna wasn't happy about it, but decided to stop insisting on it. Giotto could be really stubborn when he wants to be. After they were done with the groceries, they headed to Giotto's apartment.

Giotto lived in one of Namimori most exclusive, not to mention expensive, apartment complex. Tsuna still wondered what in the world did Giotto's family did for a living. Every time she asked, he would just avoid the question. All that she knew is that whatever his family did, it was related to all of his friends. Giotto and the rest of his friends had come to Japan together, and practically lived together. The only ones that didn't lived in the same building were Asari and Knuckle, since they both had family over in Japan. The rest of the group lived in the same building as Giotto. More than once Tsuna wondered if Giotto got lonely, living all by himself. Every time she asked him about it he would just reply by saying that he had all his friends near him, that was good enough for him. Giotto's apartment was huge. Three rooms, two bathroom, kitchen and living room packed with an amazing 70 inch plasma screen TV and audio equipment. Nothing to complain about there. As Tsuna looked over Giotto's movie collection, he was getting them some drinks.

"Here you go." Said Giotto as he handed her a glass of lemonade. Tsuna had already set up everything for the movie.

As the movie started, Tsuna was concentrating on it. She had been wanting to see this movie for a long time now. Giotto on the other side, was totally distracted by his own thoughts. He looked at the girl, currently snuggling on his chest and felt a pang of guilt. Guilt because he hasn't told her the truth. Tsuna trusted him more than anyone in the world. She would never doubt of him and she never hid anything from him. It wasn't fair for her to not know about what was going on, but Giotto was scared. He didn't know how she was going to react once she knew the truth. He knew Tsuna well enough to know that after going through the shock, she probably wouldn't mind at all, but there was also that fear that their relationship may totally change because of this. To add to the whole situation, he was running out of time. He needed to tell Tsuna or his friends would.

"What's wrong?" Giotto was snapped out of his thoughts by Tsuna's question.

"Nothing really, just thinking." Well, that wasn't a complete lie, but still, Tsuna saw right through it. She knew her boyfriend way too well by now.

"I know you better than that. What is it?" Tsuna asked again. Giotto looked into her big, innocent caramel colored eyes and took a deep breath.

"There's something I need to talk to you about." Was Giotto's response. Tsuna raised her head from Giotto's chest and sat cross-legged in front of him.

"Well..."

"Remember how every time you asked me about what my family did for a living I always evaded the question?" Giotto asked, Tsuna just nodded. "Well, before you jump into the wrong conclusions I want to clarify something. The reason why I kept this from you wasn't because I didn't trust or love you. On the contrary, I kept it from you because I didn't want it to get in the way of our relationship. And I'm very sorry for keeping it for you."

"Giotto, you know you can tell me anything." Tsuna said. Giotto took another deep breath. Better just saying than trying to make it worse.

"Tsuna, me and my family, we are royalty." There, he said it. He finally dropped the bomb.

"Nice joke Giotto. If that was what you were trying to do you accomplish it. I almost believed you for a second." Said Tsuna with a laugh.

"I wasn't joking." Said Giotto in a serious tone. Tsuna stopped laughing and looked directly into his eyes. She could see that he was speaking the truth. She could also see that he was being serious about all of it. Suddenly, the weight of his words fell on her.

1 minute...3 minutes...5 minutes

"WHAT!?" Tsuna asked once she was able to speak once again. Oh yea, this was going to be a long conversation.
