This is my first fanfic, so reviews are welcomed. I write this story because seriously, I have too much time to spend in front of my laptop. I love humour but I Guess I'm bad at writing it.

There is no pairing, only young Fuuta X OC, which is mild anyway.

Oh, almost forgot. Disclaimer : Amano Akira owns Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I just wish she can create more strong female characters.

Puppy Love

What to do when you are in love?

Ahhh…….. all of us have their own version of their first love story. Everything about it will be dramatic, the moment we set our eyes on the first time on 'the one', attempts on trying to know him or her, the process of friendship before at last it turns into something meaningful.

So, when or how Fuuta falls in love for the first time?

Let's hear about it, shall we?

It all started when Tsuna noticed Fuuta's strange behaviour. Lately, Fuuta seems to be absent minded. He eat his breakfast slower than before. The boy only stared at the television screen, not protesting at all when Lambo played with the remote control and changed Fuuta's favourite cartoon. He stared at his bedroom ceiling for hours. Fuuta only responded when Mama called him to eat. Other than that, he acts like a zombie who doesn't eat human flesh for days.

Being a concerned big brother, Tsuna approached Fuuta on a Sunday morning after breakfast.

"Fuuta," Tsuna started to said, "Nowadays you seem to always spacing out. Is something troubling you?"

Fuuta, who was just sitting at the sofa and stared at the wall in front of him, looked at Tsuna. "Tsuna-nii." Fuuta shook his head. "No, nothing at all."

"Are you sure?" Tsuna said with a concern look on his face. "You can tell me anything, you know."

Fuuta's eyes shifted a little. "Well…"

"Dame- Tsuna, can't you figure it yourself?"

Out of nowhere, Reborn landed a kick behind Tsuna's head. With an 'Ouch!' Tsuna felt on the floor.

Reborn stood beside Fuuta on the sofa. "Don't you always zone out into space too before I punched you out of the habit at the beginning of my tutor?"

"…who could forget that…" Tsuna grudgingly said, rubbing the sore spot on his head, still kneeling on the floor. "But that's because I always like to imagine what it feels like not being a no-good, or whether Kyoko will ever want to go out with me, or- HIEE!"

At this point Reborn shoot a few bullets at Tsuna, where Tsuna, using his hyper intuition, narrowly avoided them. "REBORN! What was that for?!"

"I don't want to be reminded of your pathetic self." Reborn coolly said. "But the point is, it's the same for Fuuta, right?" Reborn turned to Fuuta.

"What? You don't mean…" Tsuna stared at Fuuta, who is now blushing red. It dawned to Tsuna. "Fuuta, you have someone you like?"

Fuuta shyly nodded.

"So…this girl you like…" Tsuna thoughtfully said, "lives in this neighbourhood?"

Fuuta nodded. "I first saw her when I took a walk nearby the park. That's when I thought she is cute." Cue blushing. "The next time I saw her, she was walking back from school, so I followed her, and she went home to a house nearby here."

"You... followed her?" Tsuna doesn't know what to say about this.

The thought of a 8 year old stalking a girl…is disturbing. Then Tsuna thought an idea. "Hey, what's her name? If she lives near her, maybe Mom knows her."

At this, Fuuta's face fell. "I don't know."

"What?"

"I tried to approach her…b-but I don't know how. I only know her family name is Shikata, because of the sign in front of her house."

"Shikata, huh? There are three Shikata families in this area. Let's just try asking Mom." They went into the kitchen.

"Hmm, a girl around the same age as Fuuta named Shikata?" Nana said while chopping the vegetables. "Oh, only one family have a daughter who is still in elementary school."

"Really?!" Fuuta excitedly said. "What's her name?"

"Let's see…it starts with A…. Akiko? Ayase? Ayame? Ah! It's Ayame!"

"Ayame…" Fuuta dreamily said. "Her name is as beautiful as the person."

Tsuna can't help but sweat dropped when he heard that. It was cute and strange to see a young kid in love. Oh, how it reminds him of how he is first fell for Kyoko.

A sudden weight clutched at his shirt snapped Tsuna out of his thoughts. He looked down to see Fuuta hanging to him. "Tsuna-nii, you have to help me out!" His eyes looked up at Tsuna, full of hope.

"Hiee?"

"You have to help me to be friends with Ayame-chan!"

"What? Err, I love to, but…," Even Tsuna has problems telling his feelings to Kyoko. He could now be friends with Kyoko only because Reborn and the Dying Will bullets. How do Fuuta expect him to help?

"Yes, you have to." Reborn suddenly popped out from the kitchen window, giving Tsuna a heart attack. "Reborn, could you not appear unannounced like that?!" Tsuna shouted even though he knows the baby would not hear the boy's advice.

"Get used to it. Assassins won't announce to you that he is now shooting a bullet at you." Reborn's words just made Tsuna get another heart attack at the thought of being assassinated silently.

"Anyway, in the mafia, when a family member is in a troubled state, it is the duty of the other family members to help him out. So Tsuna, this is a new mission for you. Fail this," Reborn pointed a gun at Tsuna. "and you know the consequences."

Tsuna had no choice but to say "Ok, I'll try."

Fuuta went "Yeah!" and Reborn said "Good. Go to Tsuna's room to make plans." Fuuta immediately dragged Tsuna up the stairs, with Reborn closely followed.

"I'll call you kids when lunch is ready!" Nana shouted after them.
