Chapter 2
A new school?
"EEEEEEHH?" Tsuna cringed as they reached their school. Yamamoto laughed along with Ryohei's exciment.
"I wonder what they are building?" Kyoko had her finger to her lips in thought.
"A new school." Chrome informed. Hibari rose an eyebrow, who was invading his territory.
Tsuna twisted his head timidly to her. "Huh? Chrome how do you know?"
"Reborn asked me to fill out the paperwork."
"Eeeeeh!?" 'Reborn is still up to his shenanigans... Wait! Why is Chrome helping him!'
"I thought it was a good idea." She smiled at him. How did she answer a question he only thought about?
He dropped his cringed shoulders and sighed out. "How much is it gonna cost?"
"Don't worry, I handled that as well Boss. I know how you struggle with math."
'Now she's just messing with me.' He droped his head in self pity. He heard a simple giggle escape her lips. She secretly nodded at him. They stared for a moment. She tucked a strand behind her eye, letting her see Boss. Her light laughter stopped but the smile reminded. She blinked the moment away. His eyes didn't blink as his cheeks grew red. He mentally slapped himself and straightened up. 'Ch-Chrome can be really cute when she teases. I think that's the first time she has done that. Is she getting more comfortable around us? Me?'
"You're not focused!" A giant green ten ton hammer fell from the sky. Tsuna's eyes bulged out wide as he was buried down to his waist in the sidewalk.
"Reborn!" Tsuna yelled at the small baby that landed on Yamamoto. "Why did you build a school on the opposite side of ours!" Not even complaining for the almost burial.
Reborn's eyes shadowed. "There isn't enough room for two schools on this street." The dynamite in one hand the lighter in the other.
"R-Reborn! Don't blow up our school!"
He paused with a baby blank expression. "Nani? You and your guardians have been transferred to mine."
"Eeeeh? What, when?" He paused and made eye contact with her. She simply waved. 'I-I physically can't be angry with her... She's being really cute.' He mentally cringed at his dame nature.
"Chrome-"
"Filled out the transfer papers, I know." He sighed out, but smiled. It was feeling like maybe they were friends.
"Don't get smart with me." He lept off Yamamoto and loomed over Tsuna.
"Hiiieee!"
Chrome took a small skip a head of them as they reached a massive silver gate blocking site and access to the construction site. She turned and faced them all. Her hands were clasped behind her back as she leaned forward with a smile. "I thought this could be a new beginning for all of us."
Everyone agreed to her thoughtfull gesture. Tsuna was the only one who couldn't. 'H-Has Chrome always been this beautiful...' His eyes wided at his very own, quickly beating heart. 'Wh-What? No I can't be!- She likes Mukuro... She even said so during the battle for the watches, besides I never got Kyoko-chan to really notice me. What shot do I have with Chrome. I mean only if I liked her! Which I dont!' Who you trying to convince, Tsuna? Yourself or us...
"What do you think, Boss?" She was so nervous being honest with them all. It was a big step for her... Yet Boss, the one who unknowingly helped her have the courage, was the only one who hadn't replied. 'Did I go too far with the teasing? Should I have asked for his approval first?'
Her words snapped Tsuna out of his confused daze. "I-I think it's great Chrome! You really thought about us, huh?" He had a toothy smile. He didn't know if he liked her, but was overjoyed. She did consider them family.
She quickly grew embarrassed at the praise. She still wasn't used to that. "Th-Thank you, Boss."
Tsuna is just dense. "Your welcome!" Not realizing how he emotionally affected her as well.
