Without further ado let us start~!
~Beyond Verde's Scientific Knowledge~
Second Theorem: Increase of Vocabulary.
It was a gloomy day for Professor Verde. He dislikes meaningless arts like painting, moreover, the abstract one. It has no value over his precious digital codes, and mysteries of science. But as a renowned scientist in both mafia and the non-mafia world, he is forced to attend an annual 'Arts and Science Student Affair'. It consist of nothing that able to quench his thirst for knowledge, these students didn't think of any original ideas. How boring.
He straightened his glasses and ignores all of the paparazzi surrounding him. He liked his laboratory better than any place in this world. One of his private vehicles is parked two-hundred meters from this ridiculous affair. He liked this invention of his just recently, when he caught Tsunayoshi's eyes sparkles when he showed him the modified hover bike.
Aah, Tsunayoshi.
Talking about the young brunette will sometimes bring light to the renowned scientist's eyes. His development is something that will entice the green-haired professor for months, or even years to come. The boy has lived for three weeks under Verde's supervision. And as he predicted, the boy never struggle if he intend to injects him.
He stammers when he talks, and will sometimes get confused by Verde's words. His vocabulary is very low, and he never talked unless it was necessary. One day, the professor asked him the reason of his klutziness, and the brunette stammered even more, making Verde confused with his circling sentences. He trips a lot, and always hesitates in everything he does. Verde sometimes watched him with mild amusement. He remembered when the young boy walks back and forth in front of the toilet, wondering if he should enter or not.
Verde chuckled. Tsunayoshi's presence made his gloomy laboratory colorful. Verde even smiled to the young brunette sometimes. But, his main function is still as a test subject. Verde always keep in his mind that no matter how clumsy the boy is, he is still an assassin. Tsunayoshi's usual brown eyes are warm, curious, lit by so many expressions. Verde liked the boy's chocolate eyes, but, he can still remember about the cold, orange eyes.
Verde run his hand to through his own spiky hair. Stay focus! He thought to himself. He took out his motor keys. "Off to your own science world, Verde?" Asked a Chinese man, a bald Uakari sits on top of his head. He leaned over the white hoverbike's body. Verde hope that it's not bent, he was planning to make Tsuna ride it as one of his tests.
"I have told Reborn, Lal Mirch, and even Luche that I did not want to be an Arcobaleno. The reason is still the same. It has no scientific benefits." Verde crossed his arms and straighten his glasses with his right hand. "I have ignored Skull, and as I recall, he spent fifteen meaningless hours just to find my lab's entrance. What makes you think that you are able to convince me, Fon?"
The Chinese man laughed a very carefree laugh. "I guess I failed even before I begin. That was one of my reasons for coming here to see you," He searched his pocket and took out a letter. "Here, read it when you're back to your… well, laboratory." Verde took the letter and slip it on his lab-coat pocket. He straightens his glasses again and hopped up to his hoverbike. "I hope we will never meet again, Fon."
He head to his laboratory and make a stop in front of a snack-shop. He needed some supplement to keep his brain working. Stack of pink, weird-shaped lollipops are shoved to the display. "Ah, Verde-san. Come to buy the usual?" A laid-back voice asked. "Indeed, Spanner. The usual and…" He averted his gaze to a pure white and baby pink colored candy. "Oh, those? That's marshmallows, the plain and the strawberry flavor."
Those candies strangely remind him of Tsunayoshi. He narrowed his eyes in curiosity. "I take those and the usual. Put it in your debts." Spanner heavily and disapprovingly sighed. But, Verde have helped him when his robots broke down. It cost a lot, and Verde agreed to pay it in a flexible way, by whim, of course. That is to let Verde take as many candies from his shop until the debts are paid-in-full. Spanner gave him three boxes of mint-flavored lollipops and a box of marshmallows.
"Nice to have business with you, Verde-san." Spanner waved indifferently. Verde left the shop and continue his journey back to his laboratory.
Verde enters the lounge and stretches his body. It's a long, ridiculous day. When he entered the book-section, he heard a familiar scream. "Hiiiii!" Tsuna twisted his body an awkward position on the couch. His alligator, Sparks, clings to him. "D-don't bully me." He pleads. It just makes Sparks move around more. "Sparks, be nice to him." The said alligator made its way to its master. "V-Verde-sama!" Tsuna sits upright and stares to the ground.
"I have returned, Tsuna." Said Verde while petting the overjoyed Sparks. Tsuna look up to him with curious stare. Loss of words, I presume. Thought Verde. Tsuna shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Verde lets go of his alligator and sat next to him. "What is the trouble?" He asked to the young brunette. The young boy blushed and gathers all of his courage to face his Professor.
"W-welcome home, V-Verde-sama."
Verde narrowed his eyes and straighten his glasses. His vocabulary has improved just in three weeks time. He thought excitedly. "A-ah! D-did I say anything w-wrong?" Verde lightly shook his head. "Your vocabulary has improved, Tsuna. Did you read, or opened anything when I was gone?" The scientist asked. He scribbled on his note that he always keep with him in his pocket.
"Y-yes. If I recalled it c-correctly, it is titled Conversation for Dummies m-made by Fuuta Della Stella."
Verde continues to scribble various notes on his pocket-book. When he finished, he petted Tsuna's head. "Good job, Tsunayoshi." Tsuna's stomach tingled with a new feeling. He forces the blush away from his face. "Because your charts have been excellent, and you are behaving nicely, here. I brought you a gift." The scientist took the marshmallow box from the plastic bag.
"Here," He showed the young brunette a cushion-like candy. Tsuna's eyes lit up with excitement. "W-what is that?" He asked with a surge of excitement that can be heard from his voice. "Oh, you don't know. This is a marshmallow." Verde pushed the candy, and it bounced back. "Eat it-!" It caught Verde by surprise. Tsuna ate it directly from his fingers.
Tsuna blushes cutely and touches his cheeks. "Delicious~!"
Verde's face reddened. He throws his face away from the young boy who sat on his laps now. Is there some sort of breakdown in my emotional, or blood vein system? Why is there a need of blood rushing to my face? And I just imagined my stomach jumped away. Verde thought to himself, panicking. Meanwhile, the clueless brunette tilted his head in question.
"Verde-sama? I-I like Verde-sama the most!"
Verde is in loss of words. He remembered this on his head, and will later scribble it on his note. "Tsunayoshi…" He finally manages to fix his emotional error. "Where did you learn that word?" Tsuna points to the bookshelf. "Conversation for Dummies again?" Verde asked. "I-in a d-dictionary…" Tsuna's voice becomes fainter. "What is the definition of that word?" Tsuna scratched the back of his head. "To adore, admire, or appreciate someone."
I am excited because of his excel; I am excited because of his increase of vocabulary. Nothing else.
Verde can only laugh for Tsuna's innocent answer. Tsuna rubbed his eyes. "Are you sleepy, Tsuna?" Verde asked. "Y-yes…" Tsuna replied, and his soft voice became much softer. "Wait here. I'll prepare your bedroom or-!" Tsuna have fallen asleep on his chest. Troublesome boy… Verde thought again. He lays Tsuna on the couch and covers him with a blanket. "If he catches cold, we can't commence tomorrow's test."
Verde left the lounge with Sparks, turning of the light.
A few minutes later, someone opened the door to the lounge. He saw the sleeping Tsuna, and scoffed. "That Verde, I told him I wonder if I will leave Tsunayoshi out of my pranks… Dame-Verde. Ciaossu, Tsuna."
"Tell me, Sparks. I cannot possibly teach him everything he needs to know here, can I?" After spouting this sentence, Verde felt like a fool. "Now, I am crazy enough to talk with you." He leans on his chair; it bent for seventy-five degrees, like he programmed it to. A corresponding program, the Star Constellation, decorate Verde's ceiling. Suddenly, white envelope fell down. "Oh, Fon's letter."
Namimori Middle School Appliance.
Hello, Verde.Reborn told us that you have a new toy (I know what he meant).Why don't you enroll him there?By any means, I don't force you. But, you can't teach him everything he needs to know by yourself.
Yours sincerely,
.Fon.
Verde crumpled the paper and throw it to the coffee table. He needed the young assassin for his research! Why will he enroll him at school? Located so far away, in Japan. His knowledge is superb. There is no need for Tsunayoshi to go to school. Verde closed his eyes to think for a minute. But, just in case…
"Sparks, keep the paper…"
Finished~! Oh, Verde… I love your chara. But your language is so hard! But that's one of the reason I'm fangirling you~! Ahhh I made the story but I envy Tsuna here! Please review~ and I just realized… there haven't been any Ver27 fanfiction. Well, for those who dreamed of this pair, or those who don't expect it, enjoy mine~~!
