Okay so I got bored and said, story time! Tsuna is just too adorkable to pass up. I have not decided on any parings yet, so you're free to vote.

"Don't forget to find a date."
The first thing Tsuna wants to say goes something along the lines of, 'Are you fucking crazy, Reborn?' But Tsuna doesn't curse and has spent far too much time with his tutor to be so stupid. He opts for an alternative by tilting his head and knitting his eyebrows tight in a skeptical stare. Unfortunately for Tsuna, Reborn ignores his look and decides to continue their one sided conversation.
"Remember, this event is not for fun. You are simply attending to form alliances as well as trust from ally families." Pushing his fedora down to cover his eyes Reborn smirks. "So don't fool around too much with your date.
Tsuna scoffs at the lecture, face burning red at the implications. "First off, I'm not joining the mafia. What good would pacts, or alliances do for someone not in the mafia." Tsuna huffs to himself to empathize his point. It wasn't a question. "Second off, a date? Why would a mafia ball thing-"
"Fundraiser." Reborn corrects.
Tsuna smacks his palm hard on his forehead. 'Just what are they raising money for anyway?'
"Fine. Why would a mafia fundraiser require me to bring a date?"
"It doesn't." Simple fact.
"Eh?" The brunette ruffles his spiky locks looking confused as hell. "Then why do I need to have a date?"
This time it's Reborn's turn to scoff. "How do you expect any of the other families to respect a dateless boss, Dame-Tsuna?" Wasn't that obvious even to his loser student?
"Eeehh!" Leaping away from a desk full of homework the brunette doesn't understand, he points his finger at the baby as if to accusing him of murder. "That doesn't even make any sense! No! No way! I'm not going and you can't make me!"
The Arcobaleno's eyes flash with a sadistic edge while his little fingers tighten around the trigger of his gun. The brunette didn't even have time to think before a –surprisingly- heavy foot makes contact with the back of his head.
"Hiiieee! Reborn, that hurt!"
Tsuna rubbed the growing lump on his head. When the brunette heard the familiar click of a gun being cocked large tawny eyes risked a glance at the hitman. "You. Are. Going." The decree made no room for arguments.
But Tsuna was still, well, Tsuna. The brunette was either really, really brave, or really, really stupid. Probably stupid.
"Hiiiiee! But who would want to go out with Dame-Tsuna!" It was a statement again. Not a question. "I'm not a Mafioso. Or a boss! You're crazy! Insane! You-you're-"
When a bullet zoomed about .0223041827% of a inch from his ear he shut his mouth.
"Let's try this again. Dame-Tsuna. What will you be doing next Friday around, say, seven o'clock?"
The teen gulped. The jig was up. "I w-will be attending a…fundraiser."
"Good. Now, will you be attending this event alone?"
The brunette's face flushed red while he averted his eyes to the floor. "W-well…"
Another bullet sped past the other ear even closer then the last one.
"No! N-no! I..I won't be alone…"
The sun Arcobaleno smirked. "Oh? Who will be attending this wonderful event with you?"
Tsuna cursed his baby tutor for acting as if this whole thing was something Tsuna decided himself. Forced or not, why bother pretending? Looking up at his tutor with something that be best described as absolute loathing the future boss folded his arms around his chest to cover up his embarrassment.
"My guardians."
"And?"
"And…mydateforthenight…"
Reborn tilted his head to hear his student properly. "What was that Dame-Tsuna? I can't hear you."
Tsuna flops down on the floor then buries his head in his arms. "Mmdafurdennhgt," He muffled out.
Reborn tched before sending a flying kick to the side of his students head. "Speak up idiot!"
"I said my date for the night!"
Reborn nods his head in approval. Leon returns perched atop his masters head no longer looking so threatening out of gun form. "What was so hard about that?" Tsuna's jaw hangs open at the nonchalance he's currently receiving. "Now, get ready for bed. I'm tired." It's not until the Arcobaleno is fully dressed in pajamas and resting in a hammock does the teen begin to complain.
"This isn't fair," the brunette whined.
"Too bad."
Tsuna shrugs out of his school cloths sloppily before sending an indignant pout towards Reborn. His tutor chuckles at the gall he useless student has.
"Who in the world would want to go with me? I'm Dame-Tsuna!"
Reborn clicks his tongue before stretching his neck back to stare at the Vongola tenth. Beady black eyes watch as the boxer clad teen ruffles through a draw for a minute only to pull out a matching set of pajamas. The tutor's gaze flicks over his students flat stomach roaming over his chest and resting on big, honey eyes. Reborn had such a pretty student.
Ignorant of the hitman's staring, Tsuna pulls the shirt over his head and climbs into bed after clicking the lights off. With a dejected face, the boy rubs the dark circles under his eyes with his knuckles.
"This is impossible. I already asked Kyoko-chan out on a date once." He stares hard at the blackness of his room ceiling.
"What are you going on about now Dame-Tsuna?"
"Reborn!" The boy huffs at his tutors lack of attention.
Reborn can only roll fishbowl eyes. "So she rejected you. It's not your fault she only saw you as- what was it again? Oh yes, a 'really close friend of my big brothers'."
The brunette scoffs. "Just because it's true doesn't mean you can say it out loud!"
The Arcobaleno watches amused as his useless student ruffles brown locks with both hands. With a flustered face the teen turns over on his stomach to bury his head under folded arms.
"Gah! It wasn't even a 'really close friend to me.' No! But to her brother! Aw, man." Tsuna's squirming in self-pity.
"It's over now. Why get bothered by something you can't change?" Reborn pulls his nightcap down over his eyes. "Besides. I thought you got over your puppy-love for Kyoko."
"I have. But still! I had such a crush and she didn't feel anything? Is it so hard for someone to find me-eh, I don't know. Attractive? Even Haru doesn't want me anymore!"
"Actually, the reason Kyoko turned you down was because of Haru."
"Uhg! Don't remind me!"
Again with the bad memories. First Kyoko telling him she has absolutely zero romantic interest in him, then finding out the reason. What a terrible day.
The young Vongola can still hear Haru's apologetic confessions. And it's not so much as Tsuna's envious of Haru nor uncomfortable with the girls decision. It's just, well, they could have come up with a better delivery in their confession.
"Hahi! Haru is so sorry! But Haru is no longer interested in Tsuna-san! Haru has found someone else!"
"Eh? K-kyoko-chan? B-but, Haru, I thought you, um, was a-attracted to guys?" Why else would she initially be in love with Tsuna?
Seeing the hurt look on Haru's face caused the brunette backpedaled.
"N-not that I have a problem with, um, you know. Y-you guys.."
Haru's face burned with pure joy at the brunette's accepting words. "Oh but Haru was never attracted to men!"
"Wh-wha? But, I, you, we, um."
"Haru thought Tsuna-san was really cute! Like a girl! That was why Haru didn't mind being with Tsuna-san romantically!"
Tsuna lost whatever was left of his self-esteem that day.
"Dame-Tsuna shouldn't complain so much. Someone does find you attractive.
Tsuna's eyes sparkle with a glimmer of hope. "R-really? W-who?"
"Don't you remember? Mukuro."
The glimmer of hope the brunette had was stopped out mercilessly by Reborn's words.
Being out of Vendicare for a glorious five weeks and Mukuro has taken already taken the liberty of stalking Tsuna everywhere he goes. The teen even went to the trouble of coming to his school in a Nammimori uniform to see the smaller boy.
Since Mukuro was released from prison, the pineapple-head is under rather harsh restrictions. The man can't do a thing without Vendicare knowing about it. As a result, any attempt to posses Vongola Decimo will thereby be considered a threat and will send Mukuro on a one way ticket to one of six other hells Mukuro remembers. Vendicare don't believe in second chances. Only death.
While the idea of Mukuro abandoning his quest to posses Tsuna's body would be thrilling to the brunette, this is not the case. He plans to wait it out until the Vongola are so powerful not even Vendicare themselves will dare challenge their authority.
"Until then, I shall expand and improve the Vongola family. Such a task will be rather easy if it is for such a cute little boss anyway."
Tsuna shuddered. Mukuro has been quite clingy with the brunette lately. His stalking habits are only rivaled by a certain self-proclaimed right-hand man.
"Please don't kid over such a thing. Mukuro creeps me out. Especially when he's in that Nammimori uniform! Just who the hell gave it to him anyway?"
"You shouldn't be so picky. Your date should be one of your guardians anyway."
The boy chokes on thin air for a moment. "W-what? B-but! We're all guys! A-and, why would any of them- aside from Mukuro- want to be my da-date?"
The tutor has to close his eyes when he sighs in order to ignore his students stupidity.
"Gokudera would jump at the chance. And while one Sasagawa denied you, I highly doubt the other one would."
The small teen gasped. "I-I don't believe you…"
Reborn smirks. "But then again…I've been cheering on a certain baseball idiot for a while now…"
"R-reborn! You mean even Y-yamamoto?" the brunette's head is spinning. "No. No way. You're messing with me and I don't like it."
"Believe whatever you wish, Dame-Tsuna. I stand by my opinion in who your date should be." Both males let out a yawn before turning away from one another and closing their eyes.
Tsuna sighs softly before the room goes completely silent.
"…"
"…"
"U-um…R-reborn…"
"Hm? What is it?"
"Um…it's just…."
"…yes?"
"W-what about Hibari-san?"
In the pitch black, Tsuna can't see the hitman grin. "Oh? What's this now? You have a crush on the head perfect?"
"Hiiieee! G-goodnight!"
Tsuna can hear a chuckle from the baby hitman before he drifts off to sleep.
Asking about Hibari. How interesting. Reborn stores this bit of information in his head before following his student in falling into a dreamless sleep.
How was that? Should I continue? I know the whole Kyoko-Mukuro thing is over done but I want them in the story. Mukuro should be out of prison and Kyoko bugs the living fuckles out of me. I wanted everyone to have equally chances with Tsuna so I mentioned all of the guardians via Reborn.
If you want another chapter I need ten reviews. I don't see the point in continuing if no one is interested.
