Sorry guys I have been trying to put some effort in making this work but I don't think it did. This is the second part of 'Father and Son'. I know it's not that great, so I might change this if I have other ideas. For now this is what I have.
As for my story The Life of Sawada Tsunayoshi, I'm still working on it… I hate writer blocks.
Coming Home
"What should we call him?" Nana asked rubbing her large tummy with gentleness.
"How about… Natsu?" Iemitsu suggested holding her hand as he leaned next to her in their bed.
"How did you come about that name?" she asked again with a giggle, "He's not going to be born until October. Not during the summer."
"It's a combination of our names: yours with 'Na' and mine with 'Tsu'," he explained with a goofy grin, "He's our child and a part of each of us, so Na-tsu."
"Hmm~ I like it but I want to try something else," she said thinking deeply until her fingers went to a small charm around her wrist given to her by her mother. Her face brightened, "Tsunayoshi!"
"Tsunayoshi?" he said perplexed, "It means 'lucky bond' right?"
"Plus if you switch the order of your name then mine it becomes Tsu-na! The short version for Tsunayoshi!" she smiled.
"Works for me…" Iemitsu smiled holding her closer taking his other hand to rub her belly as well, "Its official my boy, your name's going to be Tsunayoshi!"
….
Iemitsu opened his eyes slowly to look up towards the white ceiling of his home… a place he haven't been to for two long years after… quickly he closed his eyes tightly, cutting his thoughts of that name he was about to say but not been able to say for the last two years.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't give you anymore sincerity than this… Thanks for confronting me… I wish I didn't have to do this… and I want you to know…"
Iemitsu again opened his eyes, but this time jumped out of bed and hit the wall closest to him, barely registering that Nana was nowhere to be seen. He hit the wall again as he saw the same strained smile and brown eyes appear from his memory. Again for the idiotic idea of the 'plan' which was placed in motion at the time. Another hit when he remembered the young man easily sedated him with little to no effort of avoidance.
Every time he hit the wall his heart panged at the words he couldn't hear and wished he could until he couldn't handle it and knelt helplessly in front of the cracked wall.
"Two years, Tsuna…" his voice cracked at the name after not being able to say it for so long, "Your old man keeps wishing to do everything over again," he said aloud in the empty room, "See you grow up and leave you out of the dark world that I was involved in… but your no longer here nor not able to tell me the rest of what you wanted to say…"
"Hmm~ I think it was something along the line 'you are the best father that I could ever have',"
"Oh I see…" Iemitsu answered back to the voice.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…. WHAT THE-!" the old advisor whipped his head to his right in surprise, not expecting the familiar person next to him in casual war, knelt with hands cupping the face and arms supported on his knees; brown eyes looking at him like it usually was and the unpredictable brown hair standing on ends everywhere on his head.
Iemitsu just stared with gapping mouth opening and closing with disbelief.
"A greeting would be nice tou-san…" Tsuna said with a sigh, letting his hands fall from his face, "I've been in suspended animation for two years and I want to go to bed after arriving in Japan to recover from not moving all that time," a smile let up on his face though as the blond advisor kept gapping at him like he was a fish, "Though I don't mind seeing you make a fool of yourself."
"Tsu-na…?" he enunciated in disbelief.
"Yeah, your one and only son…"
"How… What…?"
"I just entered thru the front door, though kaa-san was calling you to come down. Good thing she didn't hear the abuse of the wall you cracked."
"… YOU BASTARD!"
The sudden exclamation gave the brunette the time to dodge the oncoming punch, "Oi, I just got home and this is how you're going to greet me?!" he ducked again and ran out of the room.
"OH I'LL GREET YOU, AFTER I GET A PUNCH IN!" the man said chasing the young adult down the stairs ignoring the guardians that were trying to get out of the way or the protest of Nana.
"What did I do to deserve a punch?!" he yelled back only to trip from an unexpected obstacle that got in his way for his escape and land face-wise to the floor.
"Accept your punishment, Dame-Tsuna," a high pitched voice said standing on his back though the brunette was struggling like it was an adult's weight on top of him, "After that it's my punishment."
"He-heavy! Get off Reborn! And didn't I have my punishment after putting me in a room full of paperwork three weeks ago!?" Tsuna protested only to look up when a shadow came over him. Iemitsu was smiling in a scary way, especially cracking his knuckles a couple of times, "Ca-can't we talk this over?"
"N.O." and a fist came flying downwards making him close his eyes. The anger fist hit the top of his head quite hard, leaving a large lump on his head after being released.
Then the unexpected… Arms encircled him in a shaky yet tight embrace. Tsuna blinked surprised by the sudden change of action and looked up, considering his height came from his mother's genes.
"I've missed you son…" Iemitsu said making Tsuna smile and return the hug to his father. Though they would have stayed in that position for a while as an effort to make up for lost time an argument seemed to have erupted between the Guardians.
Gokudera and Ryohei was the main cause, as it always was, along with the mediator Yamamoto. Chrome, Kyoko, Haru, and surprisingly Hana, was trying to help out but Mukuro, which was just egging the argument indirectly. Lambo somehow got into the argument after a comment but I-Pin was holding him back knowing that it was going to be hopeless.
Tsuna sighed, letting go and tried to separate the fight, which was becoming more occurring since he had woken up from his suspended animation.
It was a sight Iemitsu always want to see till the end: his son… not in a coffin… in his office or hanging out with his friends and family every day. He wants to always see this scene till the end.
An event he hopes to never see disappears.
"Iemitsu," Reborn said sitting on the blonds shoulder, "Don't worry, your son is going to be taught a lesson about giving others grief."
"Good… because I never want to hear the death of my son like that again," Iemitsu smiled along with Reborn as they continued to watch the brunette now being turned at with the argument.
