"Arigato, Nii-san," he mumbled in embarrassed gratitude. The man of multicolored hair smiled warmly at the child. "You're welcome, little one."
Later that day, after the male was invited to the duo brunette's home, who was revealed to be a Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the three sat at the table enjoying dinner.
"This is excellent, Nana-san." Naruto complimented. Said woman blushed.
"Oh, thank you very much, Naruto-san! I'm glad you like my cooking!"
"Mm! I think you could even rival some professional chefs. Oh, and by the way, you could just call me Naruto. -san makes me feel old."
"Hai, Naruto-kun." Nana smiled. The tan male did the same before he turned his attention to the silent toddler.
"Is something wrong, Tsunayoshi-kun?"
Tsuna jumped a bit before clenching his fists upon his thighs.
"A-ano… Y-you're not f-from here…r-r-right…?" The boy timidly asked. Naruto smiled encouragingly and nodded.
"That's right. Why do you ask?"
The child grew silent for a moment before peaked up at the man with a wavering smile.
"I-I was w-w-wondering if you would l-like to s-stay with u-us? I-if kaa-san don't mind." He mumbled the last part. Nana gushed at that and immediately turned excited eyes onto the multi-hair colored man.
"Ah! what an amazing idea, Tsu-kun! Please, won't you stay with us? I really wouldn't mind. It gets lonely at times with just me and Tsu-kun here. It would be nice to have more company. Plus, I think my Tsu-kun already likes you." Nana rambled. Tsuna blushed hotly which only caused Naruto to chuckle lowly at the shy child. It really would be a nice change of pace if he stayed with the small Sawada family. It's been so long since he'd had any contact with the outside world, and he feels things would soon get interesting.
"I think I will take you up on that offer. But wouldn't your husband be upset at another male living with his family?" Naruto asked with a tilt of his head. Nana waved a petite hand in his direction, "I don't want to cause any trouble."
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Besides, he's a hero! He travels the world mining oil!" Nana beamed with a blush across her cheeks. Naruto raised an eyebrow to that and shrugged it off. He's heard and seen many other odd things in his life.
"Well, if you don't mind…" he trailed off before standing. He grabbed his empty plate and grabbed the others. He went to the sink and began to wash dishes.
"What are you doing, Naruto-kun? You don't have to do the dishes! You're a guest, remember?" the older Sawada fretted. Naruto smiled over his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, Nana-san. After all, I will be living here from now on. It's the least I could do." He reassured her. Nana brightly smiled with Tsuna at her side. The boy walked up to him and tugged on the, mostly, blonde's pants.
"U-um… C-can I help?" He asked with hopeful eyes. Naruto grinned and dried his hands off on a rag. He lifted the small brunette up on the counter next to him.
"Sure! You can dry–"
"And I will put the dishes away." Nana cut in on the other side of of the brunette with a wink. Tsuna and Naruto smiled at her and they all proceeded to wash the dishes with smiles and laughs.
This was the beginning of a new life for one Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.
