It's eight in the morning and the brunet still on his bed sleeping peacefully.
"Tsu-kun, wake up breakfast is ready" a lady's voice coming from the kitchen.
With groggy feeling and still attached to the warm quilt on his bed, the brunet just stirred lightly. Taking his time to sit and rubbing his eyes to the sun rays, Tsuna cannot help to smile sheepishly. Just how many times can he do this when he was in Italy? It was always 6 in the morning when he already wake up prepared to battle out the paperwork in his office. Today is a bit special because he decided to take a small break between his hectic lives to visit his mother in Japan. He misses his mother so much considering the time he has to spend to handle the entire problems before he can really ditch the paperwork to other people. In addition, it has been a long time he can sleep comfortably in his small room in Namimori without being worried of being hit by Reborn's mallet. Truthfully, his habit of waking up late was long gone when he started living in Vongola mansion. It was probably thanks to reborn for teaching him to always be careful even in his sleep. Today will be different because he always felt safe in his own house. He can even hear Reborn's rant in his head when he decided to sleep without thinking about the world yesterday night.
Five minutes after pampering himself on his bed looking at the window and thinking what he should do today, the brunet stand up and walk slowly to the bathroom.
Eleven years after the first day reborn came into his life, Tsuna is no longer the lanky and small boy he used to be. It might be that his hormones decided to play with him that he has late growth spurt. While everybody else has grown up to acceptable height, Tsuna was the only one looking like a midget between his guardians. It was until when he was turning 19 that his body starting to stop the hormone jokes and Tsuna's height changed dramatically. It was an understatement if people say that his growth spurt was surprising because even Hibari and Xanxus twitched at how different Tsuna looked after the summer when he has to stay in the bed because his muscle was hurting so much during the growth spurt time. Three months staying in the bed was worth of Tsuna's fortune when he basically shocked everyone with his grown up look. Standing tall at 6 feet, he is still shorter than Yamamoto nevertheless he is slightly taller than Gokudera. The whole Vongola mansion especially the maid in charge of the Tsuna's clothing was in spur because, they basically has to replace his previous suits and cloth because they does not fit him anymore.
Brushing his unruly brown hair with his hand, tsuna take a look at the mirror and wash his face. It was thanks to his unruly hair that he looked taller than Hibari and Xanxus. When people decided to measure his new height, it was actually the same number as Hibari and Xanxus. This is the point of why they were twitching at how Tsuna's look has changed. Meanwhile the time before this, Tsuna had shown his boss side with his authorative voice and glaring eyes. Nowadays, people already felt intimidated at his height and the effect of his body maturing has changed his voice too.
Once again, a lady voice rang from the kitchen "Tsu-kun, hurry up. The breakfast will get cold and won't you be late with your appointment if you don't hurry up?"
Chuckling at his mother light scolding, Tsuna cannot help to be reminded of how his mom always told him that when he was late for school.
"Yes mom. I'll be down there in few minutes. And don't worry, I won't be late. My appointment is due at 10, so I got 2 hours." His sweet tenor voice resounding from the bathroom.
His voice broke a few weeks before he starts having the muscle ache. He was freaking out when his usual high pitch voice suddenly changed to a low tone which reborn said "he sound gay when he start screaming 'hieeeeeee' every time he was surprised". To that remark, tsuna decide to control his 'hieeeeeee' antiques whenever he was surprised. Honestly, he also thought he sound gross when he screams his signature screeching with his new voice. Nowadays, he is barely surprised at everything, sometime he only raised his eyebrows when he felt too shocked at something. Tsuna was feeling overwhelmed when reborn noted that it was no longer fun to tease him since he always has mild reaction. For Tsuna that is pretty close to a compliment from reborn.
Washing his face and ditching his pyjama in the laundry basket, Tsuna step into the shower room to have nice warm shower in the tub. Tsuna is not skinny and he was not lanky either when he was at his teen age. Always dressed up in casual clothing like hoodies and jeans, there is nothing worth commenting about his body structure. He looked very ordinary and his height put him in disadvantages too. Now that he is 26, no woman will avert their eyes from Tsuna's body if they had the chance. Not too muscular but not lanky either but his body is hot. Always clad in suits and branded shirts; people can still make out the muscles behind his clothing. Tsuna reminded himself that he should not take off his shirt in front of women because there were some times when new maid coming into his bedroom for housekeeping passed out with bleeding nose after accidentally see him get out from the bathroom after a shower. Ryohei also praised his body when they spared together in one of the training room in the mansion.
Finished showering, Tsuna prepared to go downstairs. Dressed in casual clothing aka simple light orange shirt with hooded black cardigans and jeans, Tsuna stride swiftly on the stairs towards the kitchen. Eventually his fashion sense has improved greatly over the years. When he was full charged to work in the office or attending meetings, he will always wore branded suits. Sometime, a shirt with vest would be enough for him and if he gets the feel that he needs to look more sophisticated, he will don the three piece suits. He was always looking like a high class businessman when he had to work. When he was resting or hanging around with his friends, he will always look like a normal civilian accept that people tend to view him as some sort of hot model in disguise.
"Good morning mom, sorry that I took a long time in the shower." Says tsuna with apologetic face.
"No worries, Tsu-kun. Do you have a good night sleep?"ask nana with cheery eyes.
"Yes, mom. The best sleep ever mom. I'm very happy that I can have time to rest." Beamed Tsuna at his mom.
"I'm glad you are having rest now Tsu-kun. I'm worried that you will overwork yourself. Are you sure, that you are here on holiday and not for work business?" this time, Nana has a small frown.
Sighing and putting up a big smile for his mother.
"Don't worry mom. I'm not here on work demand. It's true, I'm barely free these days and that's why I decided to have some good holiday and what place is better to have a good rest than home sweet home with you, mom."
Tsuna can see his mother worry and trying to put up the best smile for him. Who can blame his mom to worry about him? Everytime he went home to Namimori it was on work basis. He already had Vongola base built in Japan and had Hibari in charge of the base. How did he managed to get Hibari to take care of the base is still a big question to other Mafioso. But they had prediction that the base was built in Namimori was one of the reason Hibari agreed to tsuna's request or order. When he came from Italy to Namimori he will always drop by at his mom's house and spend one or two nights there. And everytime he does that, he was always looking tired and there was one time that he actually fainted in the kitchen and this has scared his mother so much. After that, Tsuna remind himself to get a good rest at the base first before going to see his mother.
The worried look on his mother's face had really been one the greatest regret in his life. He vowed to not worry his mother but it was inevitable when he decided to be open about his real work to his mother. He can see the tears in his mother's eyes and Tsuna have never anticipated the reaction that he got on that memorable day. Instead of receiving an expected scold from his mother, he was given a warm big hug from his mother and uncountable thanks from his mother for sharing the 'big' secrets.
Nana Sawada might be an airhead woman to other people eyes but she knows when something wrong happens to his beloved son. She revealed to his son that she always putting up a smile because if she doesn't, who will be able to cheer him when they are the only occupants in the house. She knows that her husband kept something from her and the construction work in the pole was all lies but she kept her airhead attitude because she wants his husband and his son to believe that she is strong and cannot be weakened by any truth.
When Tsuna heard the honest revelation from his mother 4 years ago, he kept crying and vowed again to tell his mother that he will always be open to her. After the revelation, his father was actually lost for words when Tsuna repeats what his mother said in his office. A week after that Tsuna forced his dad to have a good long vacation with his mother and made him stay with his mother. CEDEF management was divided between Basil and Lal Mirch.
It was a tense 2 minutes before Tsuna forcefully break the silence.
"Don't worry mom. I'll be okay. Thank you for worrying about me but I am a big boy already. Instead of thinking about me, have you made up your mind where do you want to go for this summer holiday with dad? And do not think too much about the budget, it will be fully sponsored by me."
With an unnoticed sigh, Nana put on a brighter smile.
"I was thinking of going to paris, but I have to ask your dad too, because he does not seem to keen on going there." With a cute pout, Nana answered to Tsuna's question.
Tsuna sweatdrop. He knows why his dad is not keen on going to Paris. It was because part of CEDEF base is situated in Paris. It will be harder to keep his mom from facing danger if they were going to have vacation there. Even though, iemitsu had honestly revealed his secret life to nana, he and Tsuna are still wary on giving all the details to Nana especially the gory and violent parts.
Fixing his worried face. He went to Nana and give his brightest smile
"Okay, mom. Don't worry I'll tell dad about it and ask him to agree with you. Next thing you know is you and dad will be flying to Paris."
Nana look genuinely happy and tsuna can't help giving a small kiss on his mother's cheek. Nana had long suppressed her surprise towards his son's intimate action but she is happy that tsuna had become affectionate toward herself with the warm hug and small kisses on her cheek. Meanwhile tsuna was oblivious at his mother thought. Tsuna started to become open to show his affection toward ladies, not just his mother after he started going to Italy at the age of 18. He did this out of habit because when he lived in country with kiss on the cheek and hug as normal greetings, he cannot help avoiding them especially when reborn Spartan tutoring insists him to learn the greetings. It's not just him, Yamamoto and Ryohei who are of origin of Japan also had to learn the greeting and sometime do it to Asian ladies out of habit; with Yamamoto gaining fangirls and Ryohei gaining beating from his wife Hana. Only Hibari do not do that because he hates crowding, Gokudera do not do it because he was accustomed to the greeting and sometime he was afraid if what happen to ryohei will happen to him when he started courting Haru, Mukuro do not do it because he rarely interact with ladies and chrome only do it to closes family and friends.
"Alright Tsu-kun, I will count on you. Now, how about you eat your breakfast before we had to reheat it again."
Tsuna just beamed at his mother and sit himself in front of the food.
"Mom lets it together. Oh, where's dad?"
Tsuna likes to have dinner together with his guardians and friends but he knows, not everyone is free from mission and works, so whenever they are assembled in the mansion, he will make sure that everyone will gather to have breakfast, lunch and dinner together.
"Your dad is still asleep upstairs. Leave him be. I'll try to wake him up later. I already had my breakfast but I can accompany you"
With that explanation, tsuna munch on the toast. Leisurely drinking the coffee and reading newspaper, he talks to his mother about many things, his friends, how hard the work is, how his dating life goes on and many more.
