Here is the second chapter. Please review.
«What have I done? I kissed Hibari Kyoya! I kissed the most dangerous and powerful guy in town. I had ridiculed myself in front of the Hibari Kyoya! Dear God!» Was all Tsuna could think of.
He hid under my blankets and let his tears fall. Tsuna felt as if his world was falling apart; just when he was starting to get over Kyoko; just when his heart was starting to heal… Reborn had to mess with him. Reborn had to shoot him with this experimental bullet. Reborn had to make fun of him; make his life miserable; humiliate him; treat him like dirt… He had enough of this! He had enough of all this crap and the constant abuse from others!
Reborn had said that it was time for him to man up; to take charge and assume his role. Well that's what he was going to do! Starting with that god awful devil spawn!
The teen got up from his bed; took everything that belonged to his tutor (when I say everything, I mean everything. He even touched his precious cappuccino machine) and threw it out in the hallway. Screw that b**tard! This was HIS room! This was HIS life! This was HIS decision! If he had a problem with it; he could always kiss his a**!
-Dame-Tsuna, what are you doing? Asked a very familiar voice, mocking him.
-I'm throwing your stuff out of MY room. I'm taking charge, as you told me so. You messed with my life for the last time, Reborn. You did not embarrass me today or humiliated me; no, you ridiculed me in front of someone I admired. You made me look like a cheap, worthless whore in front of someone I respect. I can take a lot, but this is the line. I can't and won't forgive you for this! Said the furious teen with a serious and stern face.
Standing behind the baby was Bianci, Lambo and I-pin, all were stunned by the attitude displayed by the usually shy teen. The baby hitman kept his smile on his face; he honestly didn't know what was going on, but he was used to teens acting out like this. Dino had done the same after he finally agreed to be head of his famiglia. Of course, the baby had corrected the blond teen; but Dino had finally taken his place. However, it was far too early for Tsuna; something else had gotten the teen in this state and he was to blame for, apparently.
-Put my stuff back in the room before I finish counting to five and I will forget any of this happened. Said the baby with a smile, but dead serious.
-No. was the teen's answer.
-Five. Counted the tutor, starting to get angry (but not showing it, obviously),
Nothing was done.
-Four.
Tsuna didn't move.
-Three.
Tsuna didn't say anything or complaints.
-Two.
Tsuna showed nothing more than impassibility.
-One.
All stood still. No one said anything. Nothing moved. All were holding their breath. The tension was so thick; you could cut it with a plastic butter knife. Suddenly Tsuna broke the staring contest he had entered with his baby tutor and left for his room. He turned to his tutor before closing the door and said.
-You know Reborn. Trust is something you have to earn. You earned my respect many times over. I considered you so much more than just a tutor. I considered you a friend, an ally, a member of my famiglia, a mentor, a… You were the closest thing I ever had to a REAL father. And you have met my father, so we both know the bar isn't very high. I thought, stupidly, that you had some respect for me… But I was wrong. Like always. To you, I'm nothing more than a paycheck, a toy you can play with and hurt as much as you want, but now… The trust is gone. I should have known better.
And with this, he closed the door to his room; never looking back to see his tutor's wide eyes of hurt and surprise.
Reborn POV
I turned to those behind me and told them to leave. They did as I told them and I was left alone with my stuff. I looked up at my student's door room and sighed in confusion. What had gotten into Dame-Tsuna? He knew something had happen during school.
Dame-Tsuna had come home earlier today; eyes filled with tears, lips swollen and clothes disarray. He had ignored his mother's and his tutor's calls and locked himself in his room. Nothing could get him out. I went to Gokudera and Yamamoto, but neither of them knew what had gotten to Dame-Tsuna. The bomber had almost blown the school up when he learned something was wrong with his boss and he wasn't there for him. Yamamoto lost his smile and almost screamed at me; demanding to know what had happen to Dame-Tsuna.
To calm them down, I had to send them on a treasure hunt as part of a test to see if they were ready to any eventuality in case of their boss being in danger. They had run so fast, they forgot about their shadows. Quite hilarious! The same happened with Ryohei, but to the extreme! Chrome had joined in the test out of fear for her friend. Lambo was with mama, so he couldn't have known anything; but he was worried for Dame-Tsuna. It was good to know the tenth generation was so closely knit together.
I sighed in defeat. Usually after five minutes of panicking, the student would open their doors and would pick everything up and place it back where was. However, Dame-Tsuna did not open his door; he did not pick my stuff up and he did not show any form of apology. This was serious. Something bad happened and I had to find what had offended my student to this point.
I had to go see the last person I could think of who could know what happened. Hibari Kyoya. He probably knew everything about what was going on in the school.
Hibari Kyoya POV
I had been able to call the best florist in town and have a bouquet of 12 full bloomed red roses; from the best candy shop in town, I was able to get the finest milk-chocolate with the tastiest and red strawberries for my herbivore. I knew how to be romantic. All I had to do was to imitate my father when he wanted to seduce his girlfriend of the week, but I wouldn't simply dump my herbivore after a week of sex.
I was going to call to make a reservation at Namimori's best and most elegant restaurant, when Reborn-san entered my office with his usual «Ciaossu». He jumped on my office and looked through my papers without saying anything.
-If you are looking for a battle; you will have to come another day. I'm busy as you can see. I said with my monotonous voice.
-Planning a romantic date I see. It doesn't fit your image. I always pictured you as the romantically constipated type, but I guess with a father like yours… It's not so surprising! Red roses full bloomed, fine milk-chocolate and strawberries… Who's the lucky girl? Asked the hitman with an intrigued smile.
-You should know. You set us up. I have to ask you, why made you think that Sawada and I are a good idea of a couple? I asked with a smirk as I leaned back in my chair.
-I… What? I never set you two up! Is that why Dame-Tsuna came home early and locked himself in his room? He's been in a terrible state and mood since then. What happened between the two of you? He's accusing me of ridiculing him in front of you! That I made him look like a cheap and worthless skank in front of someone he admired! Said Reborn, confused.
I was in utter confusion and pride. Sawada admired me. He considered me with admiration. My pride swelled with this news… for a second. My precious herbivore had not enjoyed our little activity; he had felt ridiculed and had pushed everybody out. I had to make this better; I had to make my herbivore feel better.
I got up and left my office; the baby said nothing and followed me. I ran all the way to the Sawada home as fast as I could, biting to death anything standing in my way. I need to speak with him and set things straight.
I knocked on the door furiously, impatient. A petite woman with short light-brown hair who looked like my herbivore opened the door; she must be his mother. She was quite beautiful! Her husband was a very lucky man.
-Are you one of Tsuna's friends? He really needs one right now! Come on in! said the woman with a charming smile, almost as charming as her son.
-Yes, I… hum… I need to speak with Tsunayoshi. It's important! I said, almost desperate.
-Just upstairs, the third door the left. He really needs a good friend right now. Said the woman with a sad smile. She must be very worried for her son.
She pointed the way and I took off my shoes. I thanked her for her kindness, than I climbed the stairs with speed. I arrived at the door, knocked hesitantly and then I waited impatiently. Finally, after an eternity, my little chocolate herbivore opened the door and my eyes went wide with surprise…
