Full Summary: AU. Keep your head down and look straight ahead. That's how he lives his life. Time passed by and he still didn't mind it. His only wish is not to be a burden. When his ordinary day shook, would he accept or deny? That's for him to choose and for you to find out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn but Akira Amano does. I only owned the plot and my OC(s).

This is a re-write of my first fan-fiction and I hope it's better than the original one. Up ahead might be a bit conversation-centred. only the first part, i hope.

At the break of dawn, a certain brunet was humming to his usual tone as he cooks breakfast and served them on the table.

Tsuna huffed proudly at his creations and took a glance at a clock, showing the exact time the other resident of the house wakes up.

Thinking, might as well call her down, he walks towards the exit when a girl unexpectedly burst into the room with a crazed look.

"Tsuna!"

"Hiiiieeee!" Tsuna shrieks, his knee suddenly went weak but fortunately, he managed to hold a counter for support.

"I can't find him." The brunette blurted, pacing back and forward in the dining room, mumbling about her suspicion of kidnapping and what else.

"You can find who?" He asked confused. Was there another person in the house?

She stops and look at him wide eyes. "Who? Tsuna!"

He jerked. "Y-yes?"

"I can't find Tsuna!" The brunette shouts with tears at the corner of her eyes.

And she lost him. She can't find who again?

The girl continued rushing her words, "I —I went to his room to wake him up but he wasn't there! I check the bed, under it, the closet, the bathroom, under the rug, study room, game room, training room, even behind the door!" She cried.

"Er... Nee-san?"

She plead. "Please tell me you saw him, Tsuna."

"Nee-san, calm down."

"Oh god, I can't believe it finally happened."

"Nee-san."

"I mean, I won't stop him if he really wanted to. He could at least told me or wrote a note or something."

"Nee-san."

"I knew I was bad at parenting! What was I thinking!? Tsuna ran home because of me!"

"Aria!"

The brunette paused from her sobbing, looks up to Tsuna, who seems like having it hard to hold his laughter.

"Calm down, okay." He said each word slowly, so her mind could fully registered it. "Breath in, breath out."

She followed his orders which he nods approvingly. With her calm, Tsuna asked again. "You can't find who?"

"Tsuna."

"Yes?" He waits patiently for his sister reply.

She points. "You're Tsuna."

He nods. "That's correct."

She reconfirms, "You didn't ran away from home."

Tsuna chuckles, "No. Where did you even get that idea, Nee-san?"

"You weren't in your room." Aria said as if it was the most logical thinking.

"I was cooking, downstairs at the kitchen."

"And why were you there?" Aria took the opportunity to switch their roles. "I mean, it's my turn to cook. I get my skills is way below your mastery level but I thought it was decent." She frowns. "Was it really that bad?"

Tsuna's eyes widen. "What? No. I was..." He blushes, "feeling antsy and need to do something as an outlet."

"Ah." She said with understanding, slowly stretching her lips to a teasing smile. "I get way you feel that way, Tsuna. But still, you do know school doesn't start for 3 hours." Aria mused.

"I —I know that! It's my first day! I have rights to be nervous!"

"School semester starts a month ago." She counters.

"So? It still doesn't change a fact." He huffs, crossing both his arms together.

"Right, right." Aria rolled her eyes, chuckling at her brother's childish attitude. "Come on, freshman. You already cook breakfast, right? Let's eat so you'll get enough energy when you get lost on your way later."

"I don't have a lousy sense of direction!"

"Your words, not mine, kiddo. I'm just telling you a possibility." Aria waddle a finger which Tsuna answered by blewing a raspberry.

"You should eat more, Tsuna." Aria points some chicken roll to him.

"I think I have enough energy, Nee-san." Tsuna answered, refusing to make eye-contact with her.

"You're still mad?" She tries to make eye contact only to failed miserably. "Oh, come on, Tsu-kun. Forgive your favourite dearest sister here." Aria remembers to be extra by pouting and throwing some cutesy act of fluttering her eyelashes.

Tsuna hissed. "Stop calling me that.… And I forgive you." He mumbles the last bit.

Which she heard completely clear, leaning her face onto her fist. "Yes, yes. Tsuna have grown, huh." Making him blushes but continued to stay mum.

"Just so you know, I was talking for your growth spurt. Growing kids needs to eat plenty of nutrients to get their maximum height."

Tsuna frowns. "You're the one being picky about your vegetables so how come you're tall?"

"I don't know," She shrugs, "genetic, maybe? Even then, I'm just a few centimeter taller than the average height. No big deal there."

It wasn't the case for Tsuna though. He stab a roll with more force.

It didn't escaped his sister's eyes as she outright chuckles at her cute growing brother, "Cheer up, kiddo. You'll be 20 centimeters taller than me by the time you graduate."

"Really?" Tsuna's eyes shone brightly as his grin.

Aria pats his head endearingly, "Sure! If you're meant to be, that is."

"Nee-san!"

"Have a nice day!" Aria waved Tsuna goodbye until his back was out of sight.

She smiled in fondness how the time passed so quickly. How grown Tsuna has become. "It feels like yesterday, I kicked his butt in Tekkan 6." She paused. "Oh wait, that was yesterday. Well, it feels like a long time ago but eh." She airily shrugged.

"Anyway, what can I do for you?" She spoke without turning around. It was an act of trust. The person should know what happens if they choose to betray it.

She didn't get a respond; only silence replied back. Then a silhouette emerges from thin air. A black cloak, leaving no distinguished features to trace back. "Time, Aria. I need to remind you, it is not infinite. You cannot delay it for long." They simply said.

Aria sigh, "I know, I know. Tick-tock, tick-tock, all that jazz. He's just not ready yet. Give him time."

"We both know I do not have the power to do so. Stalling can lead to a bitter future. I could only suggest you choose wisely, Aria."

This time, she was the one not responding. Only gazing the path Tsuna had disappeared to.

"I'm not the one making the decision. You should know best, I of all people would stick to the contract. All that's left is Tsuna's."

They turn faced the same direction and mused, "Is that so?"

Tsuna walks with outmost confident in each step.

Today's the day he's going to middle school. Have to make a good impression. It wasn't like his late was that bad. Though, it would be nice to change his 'Dame-Tsuna' title.

"Good morning, Tsunayoshi-kun." A shopkeeper greeted him.

"Oh, good morning, sir." Tsuna happily greeted back. He know it's not nice but the shopkeeper is his favourite among the rest. The stuff in his shop is pretty neat too!

"It seems you finally going to school." He muses, noticing the change of his clothing.

Tsuna could felt his cheeks warming up. "Y-yeah... Nee-san finally got time to do the paperwork."

He nod, "Hmm... I thought you would go to the Academy with her."

Tsuna sometimes wonders why the 'Academy' always sound like it was emphasis. The sharp and calculating kind, his sister told him about in the past.

He push the thought away and smiled, "Nee-san told me I can't due to reasons. I think it's because they give her a lot of homework to do. She just doesn't want me to go through the same thing."

"Ah, I see... Must be hard to attend an elite school."

"Yeah but she still managed to pass by the whole school year. Well, I have to go now. Bye!" Tsuna waved good-bye.

The shopkeeper waved back, with a cryptic smile. "See you next time, Tsunayoshi-kun."

Along the way, he also greet a few shopkeepers and received encouragement from them. Things are looking bright for him.

'I can't wait to meet my new classmates!'

~TBC~

I understand my Oc's name is the same as Yuni's mother and I won't change it. I only realised on that fact after a few chapter on my original fanfic. It was embarrassing, yet I won't change my mind. I mean, there's a lot of people who have the same name, right? I'm just gonna rolled with it and make it as a running gag of misunderstanding between characters. What do you guys think?

Well, see you at the next chapter! (^_^)/

[Revised (3/3/19)]

[Reupload (22/3/19)]

If anyone could guess, I change the first half of this chapter because my brains suddenly decided it(she/he/they) didn't like it anymore. And I still haven't post the fourth chapter. Hooray.
